Description

Think of Bi Lokma as a weekday lunch hub or a cozy corner for chow just like babaanne--er, granny--used to make. Begin with hot yogurt soup, a tangy, rich bowl of herb-flecked stock that should get the rep as Ottoman penicillin, while stuffed grape leaves packed with pine nuts, rice, and currants translate to fun finger food. Appetizers lure the vegetarians, but herbivores are (mostly) out of luck come entrée time. Lamb reigns proud and loud, featured in most of the 13 options, including the smoky ali nazik and the stuffed cabbage dressed with a light tomato sauce.

  • 2011 | Best Use of Grape Leaves

    You'll find a bevy of inexpensive bites at Bi Lokma, Orhan Yegen's casual Midtown Turkish eatery. On chilly days when you're looking to fill up, you'd be wise to tuck into the hot yogurt soup or the smoky ali nazek. For lighter fare, though, definitely opt for the stuffed grape leaves. Filled with a savory mixture of rice, currants, and pine nuts and rolled up in tangy leaves, these little logs are the quintessential party finger food. And that party is in your belly.
