Came here for lunch and my first instinct walking in was that there was a faint scent of sewerage. Awful. It smelled damp.
While the server was attentive enough with refilling our water, he didn’t take into account that the condensation on the jug was dripping onto our food as he reached over to pour into the glass (I had to the glass to the out side of the table to remedy this).
While the flavors were good in the meat platter, the meat was overcooked and...
Very nice ambiance. One of my friends described it as “upscale hole in the wall”. It’s classy but down to earth and you don’t feel like you need to be dressed up or anything to be there. We were a group of 3 with no reservation Monday night and just had to wait a few minutes for them to clear a table. The staff were all very welcoming and were very mindful of my friend’s nut allergy.
I had the batenjen. It was perfect, the eggplant was cooked to melt in my mouth...
It was one of the best dinners that we had in New York in a while.
And not just food, service was outstanding! We were treated like a family ❤️
We probably overdid on the food order - 6 Mezze For 2 of us to share (hummus with lamb, fattoush salad, baba ghanouj, fatayer, mouhmara and makanek for appetizers.)

Chargrilled chicken and veggies for main course.

Ashta for desert.

And everything was delicious!!!
