I need to share another good, and reasonable, Philly restaurant, Divan Turkish Kitchen & Bar, 918 S. 22nd St.
(This is just a small taste - I've got a story coming out later this month in 55 Hours on Philly dining.)
The tables are packed in at this BYOB eatery that's open for lunch and dinner. On a busy weekend night, the dining room can feel cramped and it gets very loud, but the food is authentic, according to two of my dining partners, both of whom other speak Turkish.
The names of the dishes are written in Turkish, but also in English so there's no need to feel intimidated. My favorite dish was Hunkar Begendi ($14.50) - which is hunks of baby lamb in a reddish stew on a bed of pureed smoked eggplant. Entrees are between $9.50 and $20.90. Pay in cash and you get a discount.
