So, the long-awaited Turkish restaurant in the ever-changing location on Holland Street (has been an ice cream place, Holland Street Cafe, among other things) is OPEN and it looks great. Very cheerful with Turkish rugs and other decorations.
In good news also, they are the reincarnation of the great Turkish restaurant that used to be on Beacon Hill (in a basement space on Bowdoin Street) - I never ended up going there, but I worked in the neighborhood and it was well-loved. The menu now is a little smaller, but my co-worker bought a selection of their Turkish "tapas" today and they were all excellent! I stopped in today and they were very friendly and excited to be in Somerville.

So, do stop by and if you do, tell them Karin and Laura from across the street sent you :)

PS: They also have agreed to represent Turkey at my fun charity event Taste of the World, which I hope you'll attend! http://tasteoftheworld.eventbrite.com for more info, or become a fan at www.facebook.com/taste.of.the.world

It means "of" or "from" or "with" in general, and in this case it means "Istanbulian" (either "a person from Istanbul" or "generally representative of Istanbul", like opening a restaurant in Istanbul and calling it "Somervillian").
