Turkish restaurant Shish in Addison becomes Turkish restaurant Nazar
ADDISON — Shish, the Turkish restaurant in Addison, has a new owner and a new name.
It's now called Nazar, and is owned by Babi "Bobby" Kilic, who moved here from New Jersey two months ago and bought the place.
He's bringing in another chef from Turkey. They're keeping the Turkish items but also adding dishes from other cuisines.
"We're still doing doner kebap [Turkey's national dish of meat roasted on a spit], and we put no preservatives on it, we use only olive oil," he says. "But we're also doing pastas, seafood, fish, steak, and German dumplings. I used to be a chef in Germany and my wife is German."

Nazar is like going over to a friend's house for dinner. The Turkish owner and his German wife are a delight.
Fabulous healthy food with several delicious vegetarian options! Trying to decide what dish to order is impossible. The kebap is tastier & more tender than fajitas and is the meat used to make authentic gyros. They even bake their own bread from scratch - but if you want an American style gyros just ask for the flat store bought bread.
I absolutely HATE lamb - but Bobby & his chef make it so good even somebody like me likes it.
The homous & aba ghanouj are chunky - which is cool - still tastes the same. Awesome with the home made bread oooh la la.
The baklava is really delicious too - too much syrup for me so I mop it off with a paper napkin.
Nazar is a cozy setting for Turkish & Mediterranean dishes in a friendly low key yet attractive atmosphere. More on their menu here: http://www.nazarturkishrestaurant.com/
(Friday & Saturday night they have traditional belly dancers too)
