Savann Mediterranean Cuisine
8.4
Savann is a Turkish-leaning Mediterranean dining room in Harlem where meze spreads, kebabs, and grilled fish land in a warmly lit space with a full bar and prix-fixe options. It’s the neighborhood’s move when you want a sit-down dinner that still reads as casual but can stretch to birthdays, graduation dinners, or business meals.
