Not to be confused with the excellent Turkish Grill on Queens Blvd or Bar 43 across the street. I’m sure the food here is great but I think they could have chosen a more distinctive name and put up a nicer sign.

Michael B, I believe you can get pomegranate syrup at the Sunny Market on 46th Street and 43rd Avenue, which is Turkish. Don’t know about the limes, though –
