4.7🌟 NYC Turkish Food Worth Braving the Rain For! 🌧️🍖

When NYC gets cold, all I crave is meat! After work, my boyfriend and I ventured out in the rain for Turkish food—and it was totally worth it. The restaurant was packed and buzzing with great vibes. 🥩✨ 👉 Bone Marrow (Matata's Pick!) A huge beef bone loaded with savory minced beef and rich marrow. Spread it on warm bread—rich, umami, and gone in minutes! 😋🍞 👉 Hummus Bastirma (Matata's Pick!) Smooth, creamy hummus topped with slices of flavorful Turkish pastrami. Even hummus skeptics will love this combo! 🧆💫 👉 Nar Kebab (Matata's Pick!) A long skewer of mixed lamb and beef kebabs—tender, spiced, and delicious wrapped in flatbread with a swipe of sour cream. 🌯🔥 👉 Monk Fish Skewer (Matata's Pick!) Grilled anglerfish—firm, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Served with sweet grilled onions and peppers. 🐟🌶️ 👉 Keskek Risotto with Lion’s Mane Mushroom Steak A generous plate of mushroom-forward risotto. The lion’s mane mushrooms are meaty, juicy, and full of deep flavor. 🍄🍚 🍹 Lava Kiss – refreshing with a delicate foam topping. 🍹 The Orient Express (Matata's Pick!) – a light, subtle raspberry cocktail, barely sweet and easy to sip. 📍 Nar Restaurant 34 E 20th St, New York, NY 💵 ~$95 per person #NYCEats #TurkishFood #ComfortFood #MeatLovers #NYCFoodie #RainyDayEats #DateNightNYC #MatataEats #WarmAndHearty #NYCDining #FlavorBomb #MustTryNYC
