What people say, in short
Pera is a Northern Liberties restaurant that several commenters recommend, and one person names it as the place to go for Turkish-style döner. A diner who tried the lamb beyti, döner platter and baba ganoush found them delicious, though considered it a bit pricey next to the area's counter-serve Middle Eastern options. Another commenter points people toward the döner and Iskender kebab, praising meat that is prepared by hand rather than formed in a factory.
