The menu's similar to most Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants - kebabs, eggplant dishes, dolmas, hummus, fillo & feta, meat stews, chicken. There's more emphasis on vegetable dishes than in most Greek restaurants, several Turkish ravioli dishes, kofte, and really extensive appetizers. The appetizers aren't on the menu - they bring out a tray of whatever they're making that day. There were 11 of us, and about 10 types of apps, so we of course ordered one of everything and extras of the hummus and Red Stuff (a walnut, red pepper, tomato, cumin paste.) The eggplant and cauliflower apps had a wonderful deep smoky flavor, the hummus was some of the best we've had, Red Stuff was interesting. Most apps were cold, plus they had a hot phyllo & cheese dish. Main courses were well-received, and desserts included baklava, irmik (an interesting semolina dessert), and a phyllo / sweet cheese dish. KW first to New Kapadokia on 9/1/4, and spent about $34 per person, mainly because we overdosed on appetizers (which would have been an adequate meal by themselves) and desserts. Main dishes were mostly ~$15. Service was very personal - the manager likes to talk to the guests, and introduced his partner the cook, plus the waiters were attentive. Directions: From South: 1.
