Aheste
Modern Turkish
A vaulted ceiling in the back room and a bistro-style front give Aheste two distinct personalities, and the staff seem genuinely fond of both. This modern Turkish restaurant off the Pera bustle reworks the mezze format, pairing things like grilled lamb heart alongside sun-dried vegetables with tahini. The tasting menu leans into the unexpected as well, running from savory into a chestnut and caramel tart that earns its place at the end.
