ISTANBUL CAFE, 37 Bowdoin Street, Boston;
An adventure in eating and a pleasure to find this happy hideaway just
below sidewalk level on the backside of Beacon Hill. Strictly unposh but
get ready for a nice surprise. it's the mystery of the Casbah wrapped
around strange phonetics with all spellings translating to excellent.
Try the Muover
(fried zucchini fritters). the familiar and always interesting Humus
(chick pea and tahini dip), Tavuk Kebab (grilled chicken breast) and
don't pass up the coffee.
