Bosphorus Hasan and Asena, supposedly the best Turkish restaurant in town, are in my opinion, but not in that of people I know, an even match. Again in my opinion, they are not as good as Istanbul, the king here in Tokyo. Asena has that something extra which is so hard to find, but Bosphorus Hasan is bigger, cheaper, and almost as good. Their buttered rice, coffee, Doner Kebab are all excellent. Pide is less savory than at Asena, but good nonetheless. Try the vegetable appetizers ("Meze"). I liked the interior, much more comfortable than Asena's and nicely decorated. I am confident you will have a good meal there. Alas, here too they have belly dancers.
