i, too, visited HANCI with a group of ten and we had no trouble getting excellent service. the hosts were very accommodating. i particularly like the atmosphere of the restaurant. we ordered nearly everything on the menu; it was all presented beautifully and cooked perfectly. i ordered a sampler appetizer plate, the levrek, and the kazandibi (the first time i have tried this & i can't stop thinking about it). i ate some of my neighbor's braised lamb (on special that evening) which was just incredible. being a chef, i am very fussy about the preparation of my food. i recommend HANCI. i can't wait to go back. also, the prices are quite reasonable.
