Oleana

About

A dinner-only restaurant at 134 Hampshire Street in Cambridge, near Central Square, serving the cooking of Turkey, the Eastern Mediterranean and the wider Middle East. The kitchen works largely in small plates, with the menu grouped into vegetable, fish and meat sections, drawing on locally sourced meat and fish and produce from the restaurant's own farm; dishes have included ricotta and corn dumplings, swordfish chraimeh with couscous, quail kebab with pistachio, and the Turkish dessert bici bici. The dining room is wood-panelled and hung with a row of blue boncuk amulets, with a smaller second room open to views of the kitchen.
