From the local food press

Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Turkish cooking on Crown Street from the Donmez family, in the former Istanbul Cafe space. The New Haven Independent calls it modern Mediterranean alongside traditional Ottoman dishes. Order the hunkar begendi, the 'sultan's delight,' fire-smoked eggplant folded into a cream sauce under braised meat. The kitchen runs late, to 11 p.m. most nights and midnight on Saturdays, so it doubles as a sit-down option after the downtown theaters and bars.
