MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
This place is fit for royalty. The interior is drop-dead gorgeous with a can’t-stop-staring décor. From its honeycomb patterns on the walls and that large mural of the Hagia Sophia, to its whitewashed walls with glimmering deep-blue pendants, this restaurant brings a little bit of Istanbul to the Mt. Vernon Triangle. Sip a cool apple-rose tea while perusing the menu of Turkish cuisine infused with a modern bent. Kick things off with hot and cold meze, like their falafel with a yogurt sauce or haydari with an herb-flavored labneh. Then try one of their kebabs, perhaps the adana kebab seasoned with red pepper and herbs, accompanied with a bulgar pilav. Turkish coffee is the ideal accompaniment to their in-house made baklava or rice pudding Sutlac.
