Isot Mediterranean Cuisine

Tomorrow, my parents, my husband, and I are going our separate ways, so we all had dinner at Isot Mediterranean Cuisine, a place my husband found on Yelp. It was really excellent.

We started with the Mix Meze appetizer, a combination of
abugannush (charbroiled eggplant and tomatoes with thinly
sliced green peppers, garlic, and parsley in a pomegranate
sauce); acili ezme (finny chopped tomatoes, green pepper,
onion, garlic, and parsley in a spicy sauce); haydari (fresh
dill with strained yogurt and garlic sauce);  saksuka
(fried vegetables topped with tomato garlic sauce);
hummus; and Russian salad (boiled potatoes, carrots,
peas, pickled jerkins, salt, and black pepper with mayo).
We also shared Kalamar Tava (tender calamari)...
...and Mani (Turkish ravioli stuffed with ground beef mix,
served in a strained yogurt sauce). 
My parents and husband each ordered the lamb kebab,
which came with bulgur, grilled veggies, and Antap salad.
I had the Kasap Kofte (ground beef and lamb mixed patties
marinated with fresh parsley and Turkish spices). It too came
with bulgur, grilled veggies, and Antap salad.

And for dessert: Kanafeh, a cheese pastry soaked in syrup. 
Of course we had some baklava.
