A taste of the Aegean, not just "Turkish food." Most Turkish restaurants in New York lean on familiar staples like hummus and haydari. Rana Fifteen doesn't serve either — instead, we focus on Aegean and Western Turkish cuisine, the coastal cooking style built around olive oil, seafood, and seasonal vegetables. Rana's Table: one feast, fifteen dishes. Our signature experience is a 15-dish table meant for sharing — mezes, seafood, and grilled specialties arriving together so your group can taste the full range of the menu in one sitting. It's less a meal than an introduction to an entire region's cooking. Mezes you won't find everywhere. Dishes like midye dolma (stuffed mussels) and crispy calamari highlight the Aegean coast's relationship with the sea, alongside zeytinyağlılar, slow-cooked vegetable dishes finished in olive oil — a style of cooking that prizes patience over speed. From the grill. Grilled octopus and lamb chops round out the menu, bringing in the smoky, char-grilled flavors central to Turkish cooking. A neighborhood spot in Park Slope. Set in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn, Rana Fifteen is built for both a quick weekday bite and a slow, multi-course gathering with friends or family.
