A fresh take on Turkish cuisine takes root in West Berkeley

Divan, a new Turkish restaurant in West Berkeley, delivers on some of the cuisine’s greatest hits: pides (“Turkish pizza”), pomegranates and pistachios, plus the passion for grilled meats and eggplant, Turkey’s most beloved vegetable. But, Divan does it in a sleek, contemporary, spacious room with a full bar, without the museum-like displays of ceramics and rugs other Turkish restaurants in the Bay Area often lean on for decor.

If it weren’t for the customers who routinely line up on the sidewalk outside, most people wouldn’t ever guess that Gregory’s Gourmet Desserts even exists. “Only two persons inside at a time,” the sign taped to the door stipulates. Once you step inside, the reason for the rule becomes self-evident: The bakery can’t hold much more than that. Not “so much a store as it is a storage nook,” as I wrote after my first visit back in 2014.
