We tried Seven Hills a couple weeks back for lunch. Seven Hills is a
relatively new Turkish restaurant and market in Nashua. I really wanted
to try their donner kebab because I enjoyed it so much when I was in
Europe. It did not disappoint! However, the owner said that he could
not locate a bakery for the special Turkish kebab bread. I don't recall
what the name of the bread is but it is the same or similar to some Gyro
bread. e.g. as served at Steve's Greek restaurant on Newbury St. The
restaurant has an odd narrow multilevel configuration. There's a bar
with tables on the first floor, an outdoor patio (probably will open
this weekend because of the good weather), a store downstairs, and IIRC
a banquet/function room on the lowest level. The Sigara Boregi meze
appetizers were great. They are akin to Mediterranean spring rolls
filled with cheese, potato or meat. One interesting dish was the
Iskender Kebab which tasted and looked like more of a pasta dish but was
actually kebab in tomato and yogurt sauce on top of a pita bread. They
also feature an omelette bar which we didn't try. Lastly, they serve
Turkish coffee and homemade dessert. The coffee comes with a toothpick
with a small blue evil eye on top. The owner (who is very cordial -
btw) explained that it is a Turkish tradition to ward away jealous
bystanders!
