HALA MANTI

Hala Manti knows how to dish out the Turkish delights, specifically when it comes to manti that’s got food lovers weak at the knees. Ece Akarsu was practically singing the praises of their dumplings, claiming it’s the best she’s ever had — and who can argue with that? With a hygiene score of 5, you can chow down without worrying about catching something nasty. It’s a reliable spot that has people coming back for more of their signature dishes.

Service is attentive, though perhaps a tad overzealous at times, which Alex Anderson humorously points out with a wink. It’s all in good fun, and when the food is this good, you can forgive a bit of staring. The warm atmosphere and the complimentary treats like flatbreads are just the icing on the cake — or should we say, the cherry on the Turkish delight?
