Turkish Green Plum Stew
TRY80.00
Spring lamb with tender garlic and green plums in a light, acidic braise.
Tip: This appears on the menu in spring (April-May). Go for lunch in late April if you want to catch the green plums while supplies last.

Lamb with Quince
TRY85.00
Slow-cooked lamb paired with sweet quince in a dish that exemplifies Musa's philosophy of fruit-meat combinations.
Tip: Arrive at noon to avoid the crowd that starts building after 12:30. Go straight to the steam trays at the counter and point to anything labeled with fruit — lamb with quince, sour cherry kebab, and green plum stew are the Musa signatures.
