Editorial Review
Latest Mediterranean tribute band blows its horn on tired 17th street, competing with classy, honest (healthy) Turkish fare and actual tablecloths. Swordfish kebabs swim on rectangular plates, pert savory sweet salads framed in rounded porcelain triangles. Real pide, fresh dolmades. Busy, shaded sidewalk café leads to long brick hall and twinkling tea lights across an urban bar where barely-there music gets lost in the Istanbul din of nighttime conversation. Bona fide Turkish chef hails from already-famous-in-DC Zaytinya.
