Dervish Turkish Restaurant 146 West 47th New York, NY 212-997-0070 Website: http://www.dervishrestaurant.com/ When my friend first introduced me to the Turkish culture a few years ago, I wasn’t sure what to expect regarding cuisine. After a few hit and misses of restaurants we found Dervish and it has become one of our favorite places for dinner - when the mood for Turkish food hits. Turkish food is favorful, tasty and healthy. One of my personal favorite entrees is the CHICKEN ADANA KEBAB which is Hand Chopped Chicken meat, seasoned with spicy red pepper, onion, and garlic. Flavored with cumin than char-grilled on a skewer, served with bulgur pilaf over pita bread. It is absolutely wonderful. And when a TURKISH SALAD (which contains chopped tomato, cucumber, pepper and onion; tossed with lemon, vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil) is added…it makes for a complete, satisfying and mouth-watering meal. Due to the restaurant’s location, it makes for an excellent pre-theater dinner restaurant, and, Dervish even offer’s a three course special for $22.95 per person running from 4pm - 7:30pm and here’s the menu: http://www.dervishrestaurant.com/dinnerspecials.html The restaurant is clean with an upscale feel. The decor is simple with Turkish touches throughout the restaurant. Reservations are recommended on weekends. What You Might Not Know: There is a parking garage right across the street, unknown to many, Dervish offers a discount parking rate to those who park at the Quick Park garage and dine at Dervish.
