ALACATI

You'll find yourself on Jerome Place wondering how Kingston landed somewhere this good. Alacati does the full Turkish repertoire without trying to be clever about it: the kind of place where meze arrives in waves, the charcoal grill gets proper attention, and pastries are made fresh. It's got that warm, lived-in feel—not precious, not trying too hard—where locals actually want to spend an evening rather than tick a box. The vibe is lively enough on weekends but never chaotic.
