Grilled Lamb Chops and Free Turkish Tea in Hell's Kitchen
Order the grilled lamb chops and citrusy ezme, and Turkish tea and delight arrive on the house.
🐑 The plate regulars come back for
On 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, a few blocks from the Times Square marquees, this narrow Turkish room fills with regulars who already know their order. The kitchen reaches past the usual kebabs into Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking, and a meal opens with warm pita and a bright, citrusy ezme. When the grill work lands, the lamb chops are the plate regulars come back for, charred at the edges and tender through the middle, set beside rice, bulgur, and a crisp chopped salad. Service often comes from the owner, who tends to remember faces and keep the glasses full. Turkish tea and a small plate of delight arrive on the house, a quiet close to a halal menu that runs from mezze to shish kebab. The tables turn from noon most days, with later hours on Friday and Saturday.
