I have been to Alihan's a couple of times and it was FANTASTIC both times. There doesn't really seem to be a weak point in the restaurant. The service is attentive and excellent. The appetizers, entrees, and desserts are consistently high quality and it is clear that they make everything on site. I have had my share of baklava and it is immediately obvious if someone makes it or buys it. I can definitely say they make their own at the restaurant which is a sign of the level to which they take the food there. So far we have tried the mixed grill which was wonderful, the mixed appetizer platter (which could be a wonderful meal in itself) and the iskender kabob which I am still daydreaming about. Also, every time we have been there, there were many Turkish people there which is always a good sign for a turkish restaurant--if people who have eaten the cuisine all of their lives like it and go back, it must be pretty darn good.
