Loved the healthy options at this restaurant and the fact that it offers halal meat! The meat is cooked to perfection alongside a crunchy salad. Loved the decorations and beautiful atmosphere that is created here. The table cloths and attention to detail is exceptional. I really enjoyed the customer service that we received here, as the waiter and all staff were very nice. Background music isn't too loud either and creates a atmosphere as if you were actually in turkey
I am born in İstanbul Turkey. For several years my husband and I were passing by this restaurant. Today we have decided to enter and have an early supper.Time was 4pm. Except for a table of 4 the restaurant was empty. We were early for supper time. We felt lucky. We got a table for 2.Ordered a beer each, and 3 hors d'oeuvres package for $20... the lavash bread was fresh and done in the store. The hors-d'oeuvres were delicious. The ambiance is wonderful. Turkish music was playing in the background.As we were still in the middle of eating our hors-d'oeuvres the server brought our main courses. Too early.We were the only customers in the restaurant. The plates were not warm upon their arrival. Yogurt was great. So was my iskender kebab. But cold. My husband's mantı was quite doughy and just only luke warm.
As a lover of Turkish cuisine I had my eye on this place as well. Like many I was intrigued by the front display with the lady making the bread for all to see - very ingenious marketing move I've seen used at Chinese dumpling houses. Many Turkish places I've been to center around the grill, it was nice to see this place had some variety to the menu with some traditional dishes uncommonly seen at Turkish restaurants. Service was average, not particularly warm. Have to say the overall quality of the food just did not hit. It might have been because we came towards the end of the day but I was just not overly impressed by the food.
First time at a Turkish restaurant. It reminds me of Lebanese and Greek food, but I found their dishes less aggressive with the spices and oil. Instead, I felt they were more subtle and sophisticated.I went with my family and shared the combo for 4 (70$) with hummus and lahmacun. Everything was delicious. The meat had a beautiful grill flavor and weren't dry. The red rice (or couscous?) was the highlight. The lahmacun was a punch of flavors on the first bite. The following bites weren't as exciting. The hummus was excellent! It had a special after taste that keeps pushing you for more. The bread however, was a bit dry and gets hard as it cool down fast.For dessert, we had the Turkish tea (red tea and sugar), baklava, kunefe and revani. My favorite was the baklava. While I was used to the sickly sweet dessert, I gave it a chance in the restaurant. To my surprise it was the best of the three! The sweetness and crispiness were on point. The kunefe was my close second favorite.I really recommend this restaurant! It's affordable and gives you generous portions. The service wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either.
We almost had all dishes on the menu, and they were delicious every single one.Recommend “Kanafe “and tea. As the dessert.
Everything was delicious, the staff was super friendly, would recommend.
Quaint turkish restaurant with cute decor on the inside. They had a lady making fresh bread by the entrance which added a nice feel to the place. Food was good, but perhaps slightly bland. Would still go back anyway.
Well well well the experience has been good and service is still good.To the food now. There isn't that much vegetarian options, but what was served was good. We had a few different plates and starter. The lavash (bread) that is freshly made, was good not as good as pre-covid ( was more soft). The fillet minion plate was good, but was well done in some areas so it was a little dry and tough. Tasted good though but not that great that I remember. Will I order it again? Of course, I am the meat eater in the group and I seem to always order beef... so is this a negative review? No just saying how this experience was at the end of the evening. Next time, will God during the afternoon and see.We were told at the start that prices have changed. I will assume it is covid pricing like everyone is getting hit with pricing increase. That is fine but dinner for 4 with no drinks but water and tip was over 120$(10%).Will I go back? Yes I will and I know this is not MacDonalds to have the same consistency 99% of the time. But sometimes I hope I will get it and I love this place. Just tonight I wanted to give my 2cents.
My first Turkish food experience and it was a good one. Service was good, the decorations were nice and it felt authentic. Most things I tried were well cooked and well seasoned. Although I didn't like some of them, it was maybe just personal taste and I can tell the general food quality was good.
Loved this place. The breads were warm, the portions good and the service was great. Both our servers were very hospitable and a restaurant has a very cozy vibe. We had the chicken kebab and it was cooked to perfection ( tender chicken with the right amount of spices). Go for the Turkish coffee- it’s an experience
