Saray is where you can taste the famous desserts of the Turkish (and Ottoman) cuisine. They serve other traditional meals like doner, pilav, kofte, etc, but their specialty is desserts. There are about, I think, 30-50 kinds of dishes available as dessert. They price around $2-$5, but I put the per person info above higher because I'm sure you'll want to taste as much as you can. Maybe better go there with a group of several people. That way you can all order different dishes and have a taste from each other's plates.
A few must-taste-its from me:
Baklava, Kadayif, Tavuk Gogsu with ice cream on it, Kazandibi, Ayva Tatlisi, Asure.
