"This upscale Turkish spot is best for special date nights, birthdays, or an “I need self-care in the form of a nice meal." It has a sultry vibe with small table lamps, barely lit overhead lights, and soft acoustic music playing over the speaker. Stellar dishes that look like art also make this place feel special, from the chickpea yeast bread that’s served with spicy honey and honeycomb-shaped butter to the kampachi crudo with melon gel and raki perfume. The well-seasoned lamb manti is their Monet—grand and larger than life (we would dedicate a museum to them). Dinner here moves slowly, not because the kitchen takes its time, but rather because you’ll want to drag it on forever. " - Lani Conway, Ricky Rodriguez, Julia Chen 1
