The vibe

An elegant Turkish Mediterranean restaurant housed in a stunning two-story townhouse near the Dupont Circle Metro, with an ornate interior that evokes an Anatolian palace. The meze platters and Turkish pide (flatbread) during happy hour offer some of Dupont's best food value. Bottomless brunch ($42/person) on weekends is a neighborhood institution.
