"Top 50 2023 Boston Magazine « One of our favorites is the Sultan’s Delight, which diverges from its Turkish roots by using beef in lieu of lamb and adding tamarind for a fruity boost. The best way to enjoy it? With a creative Mediterranean-inspired cocktail in hand, sitting on the romantic patio (in warmer months), an ideal spot for date nights and celebrations. But don’t forget to top it all off with the restaurant’s cult-favorite baked Alaska with coconut ice cream and passion-fruit caramel. »"

"This gem of Greater Boston goes hand in hand with its Somerville sibling, Sarma, in serving quality, memorable meals, drawing inspiration from Turkey and elsewhere around the Middle East. The cozy restaurant has one of the most romantic patios around, and its seasonally rotating menu delivers a different experience with the same hospitality time after time. Operating with a cordials license, the restaurant has an inventive cocktail menu, with a wide array of sherry and aperitifs, and it’s famous for its baked Alaska dessert."

"It goes something like this: An American chef lands in Turkey and is seduced by the vibrant spices, the assertive flavors, the sheer freshness of the food. And that was enough to convince her. Ana Sortun decided to carry the exotic flavors of the Middle East 6,000 miles west. And Bostonians cannot get enough. The food is bright and refreshing—herbs and spices and salt stirred into strained yogurt dolloped on practically everything. Much of the produce is grown on Sortun’s farm by her farmer husband (Chris). When a dish is called farm-to-table here, it is. Bread is the cornerstone of Arabian meals, and the pita here does not disappoint. It's toasty and chewy and served with sweet-sticky pomegranate molasses and nigella seeds—get a few servings and dip the crunchy corners into the smoky eggplant and spiced lamb you’ll inevitably order. There are no bad choices here."

"Sister restaurant of Sarma No surprise: Pretty amazing. N styled in a residential area, the restaurant has a very serene ambiance and wonderful back patio. At a time when lighting often too deemed in a lot of restaurant, they have it just right! Bright enough to see what you are being served and take great IG picture 😉. We sat in the back room which is very cozy and quiet. The food like at Sarma is very good. We started with the Whipped Feta and crackers, the Cauliflower dish, the lamb and eggplant moussaka, the spinach falafel and swordfish balls. The Cauliflower was our favorite: very well balanced with the right touch of acidity. We finished with a Baked Alaska which was impressive in presentation but okay. The baklavas though we’re AMAZING!!!! "
