What a charming Middle Eastern restaurant. Loved the carpets hanging on the wall. The food was delicious, not too spicy, and just the right portions. Our waitress was very attentive and we enjoyed eating as Turkish music played. Rather pricey but well worth the extra dollars!

Best baklavas I’ve ever had! Turkish coffee was really rich and my entree was awesome and filling! Hummus was a must for the appetizer.

Delicious Turkish food & excellent service. We inhaled everything before remembering to take pics. We had the large portion meat manti appetizer, mixed appetizers, lamb shank, salmon shish, adana kabob, kurban salata,,and everything was perfectly cooked & flavorful. Highly recommend.

We sat outside so atmosphere was dependent on the street. There was live music outside on this Friday evening, which we loved.

What a lovely place. The restaurant itself has a lovely feel to it. It’s very beautifully decorated. The service was active enough to keep our wants to a minimum, while at the same time letting us enjoy our meal at our own pace without rush. The food was superb. All of our food was spiced perfectly, and they did things with eggplant I didn’t think were possible. I had a lamb roast that was melting off the bone. We will absolutely be going back.

Amazing visit. The food was not overstated in other reviews. Flavor freekin town. The house sauce served with the bread was universal. It was like Franks hot sauce. Man I put that ish on everything served. The skewers were a sampler of Turkish spices. Lamb shank is enough for two with the puréed eggplant. Ask for Janan to be your waitress she is attentive and steered us to the right alignment in food options.

Absolutely delicious! We had never tried Turkish food before, and now we don’t know how we could have gone without for so long. Everything was cooked to perfection. The meat was so tender that you did not need a knife. The flavor was superb. Everything was hot and fresh. At first we thought the portions were small, but we actually left feeling full. Service was great. Everything was just fantastic.

An amazing dining experience! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and I will surely be back again and again. The ingredients and focus on each dish is what makes this place stand out. I love the flavor and how everything pairs well together. The hummus was delicious and the bread was fantastic. The entrees are expertly prepared and the service was top notch. The kunafe for dessert was the ultimate finish to a great meal.
