Dolma
Recommended by Flavor N' Spice and 5 other food critics.
"I especially loved the Dolma that we had for dinner at an old restaurant called Haci Abdullah. The Mixed Dolma at this restaurant comprised of rice stuffed Grape leaves, Zucchini, Cabbage, Bell Peppers and Eggplant. The rice was infused with a delicate mint flavor and lots of good quality olive oil."

"Simple yet spectacular was a quince poached in pomegranate juice enjoyed at Haci Abdullah. Chilled and halved, it’s hollowed-out tummy spilled forth a stunning cornucopia of moistened dried fruits and nuts that had been stuffed inside. A generous dollop of clotted cream kept me from being carried off by the bright and tang of the fruit juices."

"The menu changes regulary, but specialities to look for include hünkar beğendi kebap (beef chunks on aubergine/cheese puree)."
"The taste of this smoked eggplant purée is creamy, it’s thick, it’s cheesy and it’s wonderful when paired with a mouthful of this stewed lamb."
"Not surprisingly for Ottoman cuisine, the focus of the main dishes is on meat, with a wide range of grilled dishes, including hünkar beğendi (pureed eggplants with lamb) and kuzu tandır (tandoori-style lamb). Recommended Dishes: Hünkar Beğendi."

"Thin, but crispy exterior, nice balance of spices. Enough meat, not too much rice."
