  1. The Gundis

    Kurdish Middle Eastern

    Kurdish cooking on the north side, where breakfast alone draws a crowd: sesame-studded bread, house preserves, and eggs scrambled with roasted peppers arrive alongside bottomless Kurdish tea. The menu spans spreads, hearty meats, and flavors that pull from Turkey, the Middle East, and India in equal measure. The room is low-key, with exposed brick and leather banquettes, the kind of place that looks casual and then quietly surprises you.

    One honor, in evidence:

          Best Place Score
