Nilufer's Home Kitchen

"Eating at Nifuler’s Home Kitchen feels like being wrapped in a cocoon of soft, warm blankets. As soon as you sit down inside the bright orange and blue painted dining room, the owner will ask you what you know about Turkish cuisine, then rattle off recommendations for powerful pots of black tea, seeded simit bread rings, and baklava and flaky tahini twists. The small dining room has homemade fiber art dotting the walls, and the dishes come out on kaleidoscopic painted plates and bowls. Get the full Turkish breakfast (that comes with unlimited tea) so you can taste a little bit of everything. If you don’t want to commit to the full spread though, we also love the lamb sandwich filled with tender, spiced meat. " - anne cruz
