“This is by far one of the best Turkish restaurants in town.”
Opted for the 4-person feast combo: four types of meat plus rice, bread, hummus and vegetables, with a bonus plate of tzatziki from their waitress. Recommends the pistachio baklava and validating parking at the former Horton Plaza Sammy's spot.
A low-key rooftop whiskey-cocktail bar above a Gaslamp hotel; Roger says the list is smaller than Whiskey House or Aero's but the Old Fashioned or Sazerac still hits, alongside tasty tater tots.
A family-owned Gaslamp taqueria Roger calls a great substitute for El Gordo, with more generous portions and carne asada, adobada, and birria all on point.

Roger saved his 300th Yelp review for this longtime San Diego deli, praising the meat lovers and chicken garlic wraps (best eaten on-site, with extra yogurt sauce) and a new outdoor patio.

The Mission Valley outpost of The Kebab Shop, a chain Roger has followed since its East Village original (still his favorite location); lamb doner, shawarma and kebab plates all deliver, though parking and lunch crowds are the tradeoff.
