A
Beyoglu
Best in the summer when you can sit outside, Beyoglu's fresh Turkish cuisine is light and enticing, from the feta-laden salads to the grilled fish and ample meze.

B
Turks and Frogs Tribeca
A tongue-in-cheek name that refers to the Turkish and French antiques that decorate this winsome bistro (run by the same folks who own the Turks and Frogs wine bar in the West Village). While the decor is mixed, the food's unabashedly Turkish: meze appetizers, endless varieties of hummus, eggplant and olives, plus great mains such as ground lamb dumplings, red mullet with arugula, thinly sliced oregano lamb, or chunks of lamb in tomato sauce with baby eggplant.

Leila
Cobalt walls, gauzy scrims and iridescent sconces transport you to another place; after one bite you realize that place is heaven. Translating as ‘exotic night, ’ cosmopolitan Leila offers mouthwatering starters like grilled Syrian cheeses; main dishes include zesty plates of lamb, beef or veggies. Cap dinner with a muscular Turkish coffee or a post-meal puff from a hookah. (Also cool: each month, the owners donate a percentage of profits to charity.)

Sip Sak
Owner Orhan Yeger can usually be found supervising the kitchen, just to make sure everything tastes authentically Turkish (to match the orangey ceiling, bright yellow walls and vivid blue tiles of his restaurant). Lamb and seafood specials never disappoint, but the classic Turkish meze, with borek filo (dough stuffed with feta cheese), hummus and cacik (thick yogurt with garlic and cucumber) is also a winner.

Sultan’s Kitchen
Seasonal vegetables, whole grains, legumes and olive oil are among the ingredients that go into the healthful and delicious dishes at this Turkish deli. The kebabs are the house specialty, especially kofta, made from lean ground lamb. Counter service and scattered tables don’t make for the most atmospheric setting, but the photos of Istanbul help.

Caffe Kilim
Portsmouth’s most atmospheric café is a short stroll from the historic center and features rich espresso, blends (try the Dancing Goats) and Turkish coffee. You can haggle over rugs while sipping hot tea, just like in Istanbul.
