ZAHTER

Zahter in Soho is a solid pick if you want Turkish food that actually delivers. The food is fresh, grilled over charcoal, and feels like it’s made with love. Shout out to Eylul, who serves with a smile that could brighten the dimmest of dining rooms. The aubergine yogurt and stuffed peppers are winners, and the wine pairings are on point. You might even bump into the owner, Jasmine, if you’re lucky. Just make sure to get there early; you don't want to miss out on the baklava.

In a city full of overpriced pretenders, Zahter stands out as a no-nonsense, delicious experience that doesn’t leave your wallet crying. It’s the kind of place where every dish feels like a hug from your Turkish aunt. Come for the food, stay for the hospitality, and definitely book a return trip for dessert. 🍷
