"Buttery, nut-filled baklava, often eaten with a generous dollop of chewy Maraş ice cream, takes pride of place here and draws in sweet-toothed families from across the city."

"Everything works well at this delightful fish restaurant. They have a long and delicious menu, having been in business since 1927."
