I’m confused by the menemen with ONE egg 
Our Turkish place in town has a fab menemen on their menemenu 
, and it is YUGE. Don’t know how many eggs they use, but one portion easily feeds two.

Years ago, H & I went to a buffet (cheap sushi, etc.) in (I think) the east 30s. It was full of those fake monks.
I gotta go back and look at their website.
I didn’t notice whether or not they had a soft serve machine, but now I certainly hope they do.

there were two eggs and it was only one dish in a very filling breakfast spread for two. I think I must have removed my portion from the dish before the pictures was taken- yes there is a partial view of it in the foreground of the picture It was also the best I have had - I think from the pic there must have been bread in the dish too and also probably browned butter - the menamens I had at acclaimed spots in Istanbul were watery tomato/scrambled egg, and I did not like that
Well, if yer ever in our neck of the woods again you should try Kitchen Garden’s version. Not watery & with a very significant kick to it (though you can order it mild, too).
It’s odd they were allowed to operate within the confines of a restaurant but maybe it helped keep buffet prices down. This could give rise to a whole new business model: “Ads While You Eat": A cheaper meal in return for a polite but determined stranger who appears at your elbow every so often to offer you a timeshare, insurance, or enlightenment.
They weren’t operating. They were just eating. Fake monks know a bargain when they see one!
I would imagine they better than most!
Down here in the DC area, this is probably the most inconsistent buffet of all our choices. Even the same location can go from great to nah in a short timeframe. But it has been years since I ate at one.
Facts!

I find the info about this very confusing and am actually not sure whether its a chain or not. There seem to be lots of places with the same or a very similar name and signage., even neighborhood delis called Flaming Grill, btw here is a tiktok review of the Brooklyn one. doesnt sound like a must visit and certainly not in a nabe where you would expect good asian food.
Agree with this, but their place next door, La Vara, is now a family favorite thanks to @SteveR’s suggestion years ago.
