In Short
Diners grab Turkish grub to go in front, head to the picnic benches out front or snag seats in the bare-bones back room-complete with Turkish channel-tuned TV. Fragrant kabobs arrive alongside fluffy rice, while ravioli gets a twist with a stuffing of lamb and garlicky yogurt sauce. Vegetarians won't leave hungry either thanks to tomato-based vegetable stew. Seafood dishes include rainbow trout bathed in butter and cooked in a traditional ceramic dish.
