Sundance Square adds another tasty cuisine to the menu with the arrival of Istanbul Grill, a Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant from Arlington, who will open a second branch in the Cassidy Building at 401 Throckmorton St. in February 2017.

"We like to bring new restaurants to Sundance Square that gives visitors the option to choose from a wide variety of cuisine," says Sundance Square president and CEO Johnny Campbell in a release. "Istanbul Grill has a great following and an incredible menu."

Istanbul Grill owner Sam Serdar Sensel and his wife, Dido, opened their first branch in Arlington in 2009. The menu features a wide variety of Mediterranean dishes, such as lentil soup, hummus, falafel, lamb, gyro, eggplant, and salads, plus grilled items like chicken, beef, and seafood.

They offer less-common specialties such as moussaka, a lasagna-style casserole with layers of sliced eggplant and ground beef topped, in Greek fashion, with béchamel sauce.

The Cassidy opened in 2014 in what was previously a parking lot, part of Sundance Square's expansion of three new buildings. The six-story building features four floors of office, first floor of retail, and six luxury penthouse apartments on the top floor. Those have got to be pretty sweet.
