Turkuaz

Tried this Turkish restaurant in New York. Overall great food.

Got the chicken Adana kebab. Definitely a great choice. Also got Turkish coffee (which was similar to drinking an espresso shot… so indifferent about getting it again). Lastly got kunefi for dessert (a cheese based food that had a light sweet syrup). Wouldn’t mind getting it again, but it was filling.

Nusr-Et Miami

I have to say, the service here was pretty good. They replaced our cutlery after every single serving, and they even folded my napkin when I went to the restroom.

Now going on to the food…

So the drink I got is the Nusr-Et Manhattan. It was good (sweeter and more strong than the usual Manhattan).

The appetizer they brought was this meet schaschlik. It was really good.

From top (going clockwise): Istanbul sirloin, Rib Eye, and Rib Eye with mustard (with bone that had some fat). All of it tasted great (we ordered them medium, and they turned out medium well, which was perfect), but I think the best one was the Rib Eye with mustard.
