    Meyhouse Palo Alto is an excellent restaurant for Turkish Mediterranean food. The food was really exceptional. They make their own delicious creamy yogurt which they use in dishes. So if you enjoy yogurt, you will love this place and they have unique salads and excellent fish on the menu. The food is super healthy and delicious. I definitely want to go back for more. They have a full bar and excellent Turkish wines. The restaurant is also nicely designed. But it can get a little noisy in some places where there might be larger groups.
