Burgers can be excellent, but cold food, skimpy toppings, high prices, missing items, and serious undercooking reports complicate the picture. Try: Braised brisket burger.
This is a lively, nicely presented Turkish grill where lamb, ribs, mezze, and mixed platters do most of the convincing. Food can be excellent and fairly priced, but recent experiences reveal uneven cooking, forgotten items, and service that sometimes loses the plot. Try: lamb chops.
