Yelpers didn't let us down, as this was an excellent and more polished but still family-style restaurant that elevates itself from funky hole in the wall to special occasion place through a combination of excellent service and ambiance. We had a nice bonus - a seat where we could watch bread being prepared in the front window. The house specialty, the leg of lamb, was quite substantial and delicious, although it showed ever so slightly the effects of reheating after having been in a long stew. There are kebabs and turkish meat cakes for the less adventurous (like the kids) that were still unusual and quite tasty. The farina cake was unusual and delicious. And, they do have wine available, including in demi-litres, at decent prices.
The service did slow down when the customers started coming in later -- there seemed to be only one server -- so one probably should temper one's expectations if arriving later during the dinner hour.
