Turkish comfort food is the specialty at this Upper West Side favorite. Try the manti (tender, steamed lamb-and-mint dumplings covered with garlicky yogurt) or a traditional meze sampler. The hunkar begendi, a tomato-based lamb stew served over pureed charcoal-grilled eggplant, is worth ordering for the name alone. Even the myriad kebabs are tricked out, with extras like eggplant wraps and house-made yogurt. The regal, plush interior creates an air of nonstuffy elegance.
