A stylishly revamped traditional lokanta in a historic building, serving elevated Turkish home cooking to a fashionable crowd. The daily changing meze spread and slow-braised meat dishes are the highlights — arrive early for the best selection. Reservations are strongly recommended as it fills up fast, especially at lunch.
