First time in. This was my introduction to Turkish food. We were greeted immediately and I felt welcomed.The lahmacun was really good. Again, first time in and it didn't go unnoticed that I had no idea how to eat it. The owner cane over and helped me all the while we were laughing. Game changer.Also tried the iskender and lentil soup.All amazing and all freshTopped it off with fresh baclava and tea.What a great start.

We've been coming here for last 3 years, but last night was awful and we will never come back again. Rude service, slow, charged us for all the food, except they never brought half of it. We had a party, so didn't pay attention on time. No hot tea or water. Rushed us to leave at 8:15pm, literally taking forks and spoons out of our hands. We ordered 8 combo beef and lamb doner plates, got instead just beef doner plates. unbelievable how good they were 3 years ago and they became today. Very sad and disappointed

Amazing. İskender was as good as the ones we had in Istanbul. Our server Melike was graceful, and very polite. This was our first trip. I am sure we’ll be back for more.

Ordered from Doorash. I loved everything about it. Chicken doner plate is amazing. Very good texture and flavors. The salad dressing and mix was well prepared. On the delivery box, it was written 'Have a lovely day'. Not a common sight. Highly recommend.

Order to go, food was alright, pita was pretty sub-par, but there was STYROFOAM IN THE SALAD?! ew

I do not go again to a restaurant where food does not have great taste, no matter how hungry i am, or how cheap the restaurant is. So far the only items i found here to meet my criteria of taste and authentic taste are:1. Lahmacun. I ask them to make it crispy (not soft,)2. Baklava. Very tasty, so much so that i asked where you get it, they said directly from turkey. Yes, and the young waitress warms it just right. Wrong way to warm would be microwave, then it becomes soggy.3. Turkish Tea and Ayran.I order these items when ever i go. Some time ago i tried their kebab, donner, did not like. In future will try again to see if improvement. As it depends on cook. And w change of cook you may see better or worst meal.Before writing i read many comments. In other comments there was a case of worker or owner there that is rude. I agree w that, i think he may be cook, probably uneducated from remote eastern part of Turkey. Recent waitress is caring and polite.

Tremendously delicious food. Go there all the time!

Great food but none of the workers were wearing masks during this time of the pandemic. Stay away if you don't want to risk getting COVID.

We visited today for the first time and enjoyed it. The food was delicious and we got our order pretty quick. The lady at the counter was very nice. The only thing I didn't like was doner combo was a bit too oily and salty. Lahmacun was very good.

DISHONESTY IS THE WORST QUALITY SOMEONE CAN HAVE . I needed WiFi for some work , the lady on the counter blatantly LIED to me saying their WIFI doesn’t work , while I could see it in her eyes that she was lying . If WiFi doesn’t work , your whole business will be stopped , including door dash and Uber eats . After I told her I wouldn’t be ordering food , as I needed WiFi , she said it’s probably working and I could try it . Just not acceptable. Now the food , I ordered a chicken kebab plate . The chicken was too dry , the salad had a funky smell . DO NOT RECOMMEND, MANY BETTER PLACES WITH BETTER AMBIENCE
