Turkish food
Food is always yum, just like homemade, service is nice. Keep in mind that there's no menu there. You can either choose from the food you see being cooked by the entrance or ask for something specific (they have lentil soup, kebabs, lahmacun, pide, desserts). My forever favorites are saç (kavurma) made of beef and chicken sote with a garnish of boiled rice (pilav). They are closed on Sundays though
