Antepli Mediterranean Grill
8.3
A Turkish-leaning Mediterranean kitchen where the savory-to-sweet arc is the move: start with a baked or grill specialty, then finish with kunefe or baklava while it’s fresh. The room is casual, but the cooking is focused—best when you order one regional centerpiece instead of stacking standard wraps.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lahmacun, Adana kebab, Kunefe
