According to Orhan Yegen, the passionate, pony-tailed chef-owner of this Turtle Bay café, Turkish cuisine gets no respect. It's misunderstood and mangled—by everyone but him. Having tasted his hot yogurt soup and dill-flecked stuffed cabbage, we're inclined to agree. The menu is extensive and varied, but after following the guy around town from kitchen to kitchen, we've come across a foolproof ordering protocol: the appetizer sampler, followed by the invariably lamb-based special of the day.
NoteReservations are only accepted for parties of four or more.
