Decent Manti — nothing more, nothing less

Manti at this place was fine. The subtly sweet and aromatic flavour was there but not distinguished. Turkish red pepper paste was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

the meze tradition of small shared dishes predates the main course. The a traditional Ottoman-style restaurant setting was generic rather than immersive. raki anise spirit was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Manti it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
