Tiny place tucked away in a quaint commercial zone with a handful of other stores and restaurants nearby some residential housing. Seating is limited, food was excellent and I had several new dishes I was unfamiliar with. The manager said I could not choose grape leaves for my side, but I took so long to order the said that it was okay which was rather nice of him. He should consider adding an upcharge for grape leaves as a side because I definitely would pay extra for them and I am sure others would as well. I really liked the Turkish butter noodles, the carrot yogurt slaw with walnuts (I don't remember what it was called), and of course the grape leaves I was so graciously allowed to try despite it being against the rules! Definitely worth a visit if you want to try out some rare and well made Mediterranean cuisine.

My boyfriend and I were visiting out of town and this restaurant was so good! He’s from Turkey and rated this restaurant 10 out of 10! The service was great along with the food! I plan on stopping by later today!

I came for variety but got much more. I'm always leery of 5 star ratings but this place is worth it. You won't get kitschy decor or movie stars in this small Turkish restaurant located in a residential neighborhood but you will get fantastic Mediterranean food. There are only about 5 tables but plenty of take-out business. I was there late on a Thursday night after 8 pm and there were 2 families seated and having a good time. The owner and her husband appeared to be the only staff that night. I had the meatballs and sauce with the side of noodles - so fresh they must have been made that day. My son had the mushroom chicken. Portions were large enough that we had to take some back to the hotel. We had tabbouleh and stuffed artichoke as the starters. The tabbouleh was a little different than the Greek versions I'm used to but just as good. The plates came out promptly and service was good - you are only 10 feet away from the counter, so its pretty easy to communicate. The owner said they had been open about 9 months and they were pleased with how the business had grown. It must be word of mouth because they are tucked away in a little nook near a wine store and a local take-out pizza kitchen. If you are in the area or want super-good Mediterranean then I wouldn't pass this place up. There is parking. We walked about 15 minutes from the Brookline Village T station.

One of our new favorite restaurants in the Boston area! I’ve tried a lot of Turkish restaurants, but this one is easily the best — they make delicious, authentic, homemade Turkish meals. They also have a good selection of Turkish groceries and cookbooks! We came in for lunch to try their wraps, cold appetizers, and desserts — everything we tried was so good. Oh and they also have a cute little heated patio if you want to sit outside! We’ll be back soon to try their plates for dinner!

Yemekler harika!! Zengin menüsü ile herkesin gitmesi gereken bir restorant. Cok memnun kaldik!

Very good taste, wonderful service and wonderful team. We enjoyed and will back again! Thank you guys! ♥️

Delicious… All foods are really fresh and tasty. You should definitely try pide. Ambience is perfect and crews are helpful and polite. Highly recommend to go.

I love the place, ver friendly, food is great ans truly homemade. However its not cheap. For the price you pay I just wish there was a real dining experience and not a „take out“ feeling.

This place is the top place in Boston to taste Turkish foods mostly called Mediterranean. They have a really rich menu which gives you options to taste many kinds of Turkish foods like veggie food, meaterian food. Restaurant is like a boutique restaurant. Small, sweet and warm; like your home. Owners are pretty good, friendly and smiling. I have never felt away from home during our visit to their restaurant.

Amazing homemade food. Not greasy or oily, it's fresh and healthy. I stop by every time I'm in the area. Conveniently packaged if you need to grab and go. Love this place! (Vegan and health conscious friendly.)
