Aegean Turkish delights w/ an amazing tasting menu deal. Highlights: atom labneh, kimyon garlic shrimp & whole branzino.
Amber Sutherland-Namako reviews Rana Fifteen, a Park Slope restaurant serving Western Turkish cuisine. The article highlights the restaurant's affordable "Rana's Table" deal and delicious dishes like labneh and shrimp.
Rana Fifteen offers a delightful journey into Western Turkish and Aegean cuisine, drawing inspiration from the owner's upbringing in Izmir. The restaurant is particularly lauded for its exceptional value, especially the "Rana's Table" tasting menu, which provides an extensive array of appetizers, mezes, and entrées at an affordable price. Standout dishes include the creamy atom labneh, flavorful tarama, and the vibrant kimyon garlic shrimp, though some reviews suggest the stuffed mussels can be one-dimensional. The herb-armored branzino is a recommended shared entree, and the Iskender steak offers broad appeal.
