Ala Turka is the West Side sister to Anatolia Cafe, and I believe even better than the original. We started the evening with excellent appetizers: hummus that with bright, intense flavors, tasty falafel, and lebni. They were accompanied by very fresh, tender pita, as well as Ala Turka's own bread. It was all excellent. I had the iskender. The Doner meat was probably the tastiest I've experienced, perfectly grilled and sliced thin, generously piled on croutons made from their homemade bread. My dinner companions also had excellent meals, though my husband's chicken kabobs were a bit dry (this seems to be a constant problem with chicken kabobs throughout this city).
My only ding on this restaurant was that the service was slow and a bit confused. We were one of only two parties in the restaurant, and our water glasses were only refilled once. We will definitely be returning.
