We ate at Mangal Turkish BBQ tonight in Sunnyvale and it was delicious! We ordered a ton of different kinds of meat and my favorite was the lamb kofte kabob. You have the option of sitting outside and grilling yourself or having it grilled for you. We sat outside and grilled ourselves and it was really nice. The meat is sold by the pound but you can tell them how many actual pieces you want of everything. Would highly recommend going on a nice day, and I think big groups or people with kids would enjoy it. Confirmed with our server that all of the meat is halal.
Amazing ambience and great food. We went to celebrate my recent promotion with some raki and had to make sure we tried as many different dishes as we could stomach!I'll definitely be coming back here. Great place to bring friends, too. Thank you to the staff for their patience with first-timers too!
We went to Mangal just about 15 minutes before closing and were literally the last people there aside from a couple of other tables. The ensuing hospitality and service from the staff was unbelievably good- from helping us choose from a wide variety of marinated meats to reassuring us about having time to enjoy our meal. Even with the sparse customers just before closing time, this place (the decor, the staff) had strong pleasing authentic vibe to it. The food was heavenly - meats flavored and succulent, bread soft and veggies cooked just right. Can't wait to get back here at a more decent time when it's busy and enjoy that full Turkish experience immersion!
Pretty good. liked the lamb chop and ground meat the most. My friend liked the shrimp and chicken thigh skewer. felt the lamb and beef skewers were not bad but a bit dry for my taste. We both loved the free rice and bread. My friend especially loved the rice. Beef liver appetizer was good but only get it if you know you like liver. Eggplant appetizer was also good. We asked them to cook the meat for us because we felt they'd do a better job for our first experience but you can also opt to cook it yourself like at kbbq places.
Good food but very over priced. Large space and has occasional dancers. Can self cook or have the restaurant cook it for you. Not sure I'd return for food but will come back for turkish coffee.. paid about $70/person!!! And disappointing portions.
Good dinner experience here, the meat selection was great and was both marinated and cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the warm bread, Turkish beer and dessert as well. The rice was nice but wasn’t served hot.The waitress who seated us asked if we had reservations, which we did, but the place was practically empty from when we arrived till we left so we weren’t sure why we were asked this question. They had run out of hot appetisers by the time we went.Overall nice experience!
Amazing food and bbq. The folks here were helpful in helping us pick out some delicious meat and gave tips on BBQing it as well. The Kofte kebabs are to die for! Soo tender and delicious! We had a great dinner here and will definitely come again. Definitely recommend!
The food here is amazing! I could happily eat just their delicious rice and hummus all year long. So far we have only tried the outdoor grilling, for which I also strongly recommend the kofte, and all things lamb. The food is high-quality, and the server is very kind. We do tend to always order more than we can finish because everything is so delicious, but the pricing is reasonable considering the quality.
What a great first experience! The food, the atmosphere, the bar, the service…all top notch. Easily one of the best looking bars in the Southbay. You pick your meat or seafood and they can cook it for you. If you’re sitting outside, you can sit at one of your grill tables and cook your own food. Mangal is going to become a regular hang out for me!
What a satisfying experience- a culinary treat! The staff treated us so well and the food was amazing. This will be the first of many visits.
