Zeytin Turkish Cuisine

The Write-Up

The full story

Zeytin Turkish Cuisine on Edgewater Drive in College Park is a cozy, family run, lantern lit room that guests call a hidden gem. The meal starts with fluffy lavash and a tray of dips, then moves to Iskender kebab, lamb doner pide, red lentil soup, and sauteed eggplant, with knafeh and baklava to finish. The small, unpretentious dining room fills quickly, and the hospitality makes first timers feel like regulars.
