Mabelle Turkish Restaurant

Adana Kebab

Spiced ground lamb hand-pressed onto flat skewers and char-grilled over open flame, arriving with a char-edged crust and juicy, aromatic interior

Döner Kebab

Slow-rotating vertical-spit lamb and beef shaved to order — the foundational test of any Turkish kitchen, reportedly done right here

Pide

Boat-shaped flatbread baked to order with your choice of minced meat, cheese, or egg fillings — a Turkish comfort staple that rewards ordering fresh

Lahmacun

Thin, crisp Turkish flatbread topped with spiced minced meat, rolled with fresh parsley and lemon — best eaten immediately out of the oven

Meze Platter

A spread of cold starters — hummus, ezme (spiced tomato dip), cacık (yogurt-cucumber), and stuffed grape leaves — meant for sharing and arriving with fresh bread

Iskender Kebab

Thinly sliced döner laid over torn flatbread, drenched in tomato sauce and browned butter, finished with cold yogurt — a richly sauced one-plate showstopper

Baklava

Phyllo layers soaked in syrup with pistachio filling — made in-house at quality Turkish spots, a signal of whether dessert is treated seriously

Turkish Tea (Çay)

Small tulip glasses of strong black tea brewed from a double stacked kettle — the social ritual that bookends any proper Turkish meal
