Belly dancing shows and sunken tables surrounded by pillow seats lend exotic allure to this northside eatery. Turkish carpets and artifacts grace the dining room, adding to the authentic atmosphere. Sharable starters are ideally suited to grazing. For a complete culinary journey, progress from bread spreads and salads to grilled meats, concluding with muddy Turkish coffee. Make like the Turks who frequent A La Turka and bring the late-night gang to its weekend dances.
