Lokanta
Description
Turkish food aficionados have long loved Midtown’s Sip Sak. The owner of that spot, Orhan Yegen, has expanded to Astoria with Lokanta. His inviting café is appointed with black-and-white tiles and junglelike wallpaper reminiscent of a Rousseau painting. Start with comforting chicken soup or mezze like muhammara, a thick red pepper and walnut spread. Generous main courses include beef manti dumplings in yogurt and garlic sauce, whole fish and stuffed Cornish hen with aromatic rice. Its BYOB, a bonus for bargain hunters.
