Sip Sak, located in New York City, is a highly recommended Turkish restaurant, loved by many for its authenticity and exceptional taste. Praises abound in reviews for its varied, well-prepared offerings of traditional Turkish dishes, including lamb shank, hunkar Begendi, and manti. The humble yet charming ambiance, combined with "personable" and "courteous" staff, create a great dining experience, often compared to top establishments in Istanbul. Although it may be pricier than local Turkish eateries, the quality of its food and service make it worth the splurge. Patrons particularly enjoy the restaurant's warm bread with olive oil, shrimp, and okra, as well as the special lamb shank with eggplant.
