We had dinner at Alihan’s on a weeknight, and the place was very busy. If you are planning to go for dinner before a theatre event you are best to make reservations! They are always busy in show nights. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was great. There are lots of vegetarian options available, and it’s easy for vegans to eat here too. Lots of flavour!

Honestly wasn’t sure how what to expect , but we were so happily impressed! The food was delicious and it was a very enjoyable patio. The fresh bread they made was also so ridiculously good it was hard to stop eating to not ruin your appetite. Zee was our server and she kept checking on us to see if she could get us anything and was quick to something we asked for.

Stopped in for lunch on Saturday before a show at the Benedum. Service was great. Food was amazing. Highly recommended. I ordered the chicken adana kebab. My wife ordered the doner kebab. We both had Turkish Tea. Also served with warm bread and a dipping oil.

I have been to this place numerous places and tried almost everything on the menu! food is always good, especially all the cold appetizers, kabobs, and desserts. The service most of the time is lacking tho. staff are extremely friendly and nice, but it happened on a few occasions that they forget the order, bring the wrong drink, etc. I would give a solid 5 if they improve the service and have more upbeat music 😉

Delicious food. We had the mix cold appetizer plate, lentil soup and falafel. Great vegan options. BYOB if you want. I had the cucumber lemon water which was yummy. We shared the baklava and Turkish coffee which was very tasty in a beautiful coffee cup. Our server was fantastic very attentive. The atmosphere is small but intimate. We went before a show and timing along with location was perfect. We would go back.

The service was excellent! Was greeted and served by attentive staff. I ordered the tabbouleh and really enjoyed it. Then I ordered the lamb kabobs that i thought was good. They said it was one ifbthe more popular dishes. I think that is why I settled in 4 stars in that it was just that.

I used to come to this restaurant. I think the quality of food is degrading here, but the prices keep getting high. We wasted couple days ago $107 and tip here. When we come to a restaurant, we expect the food to be cooked and fresh. The house salad for the 3 of us was got from Walmart bags and they put it in the plates! The Kunefe, for 3 also, had little sweet taste. It used to be incredible in the dish, not this wooden thing. I don’t think it was fresh even. I won’t remove this bad review unless I receive $50 back. We were very disappointed. Not visiting this restaurant again.
