 There's a Turkish restaurant at the foot of Beacon Hill:

 Istanbul Cafe
 37 Bowdoin St, Boston 227-3434

 I've never tried it, but many of my friends have (and liked it).
 It's dirt cheap, too.

 I'll vouch for the Istanbul Cafe - it's quite good.  I'm not sure I'd
 call it "dirt cheap", but it's cheaper than the average Boston restaurant.
