A la Turka

"Surprisingly good" Turkish food is yours at this "reliable" Upper Eastsider where the prices are "affordable" and the noise level "manageable"; those who shrug "nothing exceptional" cite "drab" decor and "spotty" service.

Awesome food, good value for the money, the steamed vegetables is this enormous container jampacked with broccoli and carrots! I got 2 more meals out of it! Red lentil soup is amazing, would definitely order from again.

I've been there a few times out of laziness, I guess, because it's a pretty mediocre place. Food is ordinary Turkish food, much better places than this. It's not the worst, but it's certainly not the best.

But it's more about the service and atmosphere.

Bathrooms are always filthy, service is often rude or incompetent. Owner is super creepy, especially to women.

Last time I was there (Dec 2017), I saw a huge roach in the ladies room. That was it for me. Never going back.
