The food here is tasty, I just wish it was a little bit more spiced. The proportions are huge, and the meat is fresh. Customer service was great too! Highly recommend!

My family and I went there in a Friday evening. It wasn’t too busy since they have 2 rooms for seating. We the Istanbul Salad and Sheppard Salad to start off. For the main meal we ordered the Mixed Kebabs Entree, Chicken Gyro Entree, Lamb Shish Kebab Entree and Beyti Kebab. For dessert we had the Pistachio Cake. The salads are as expected, like most Mediterranean salads it’s Balsamic and/or Vinaigrette dressing. As for the main dishes, the chicken gyro was too dry so I had to use some of the yogurt. On the other hand the lamb shish kebab was too chewy. We had to ask for a steak knife for it. On the plus side the lamb wasn’t too gamey at all. The mixed grilled was similar to the chicken gyro, the different meats were on the dry side like it was overdone. The dessert was light and not too sweet at all. So it was very good. Overall, the food was okay but I definitely won’t come back. I’ve had better Turkish food around here. I’ve had food in Istanbul before and it definitely was not this texture. Also of note, they do not serve water here. So bring your own water if you don’t want overpriced drinks.

Food was good but service a bit slow. Our mixed grill order didn’t come with the main order, we had no choice but to get it packed as takeout.

Omg!! This place is truly a little Istanbul. It was our first time trying out Turkish food in Philadelphia, we just came back from our vacations to turkey in December, we were missing Turkish authentic kebabs so much. So glad, we made a decision to try out this amazing place!! Totally recommend it, so satisfying, most authentic Turkish taste.

“Turkish cuisine is, to my mind, one of the most exciting and accomplished in the world.” Read that quote again. It is about taking a lunch to enjoy the life of adana kabab before ending the work day with a bang. Take a lunch break here and enjoy.
