First, I have honestly never posted a comment on a message board but felt the great desire after eating at the Hanci Restaurant in Manhattan. Truly amazing! We were a group of ten people who ordered a complete array of appetizers, entrees and deserts and not one us was unhappy or unsatisfied, simply impressed. I was thrilled to get to eat turkish food because I lived there for three years but don't have any quality turkish food where I live now (Minnesota). The cook did it right! The kebabs were spectacular, my friend loved his levrek and the esme and patlican were awesome. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The owners were also incredibly hospitable and amiable (in true turkish form!) and played wonderful turkish music both halk (folk) music and pop music. It was a lovely evening and I will most assuredly go back when I'm in New York again. Afiyet olsun!
