We came in on a Wednesday night for dinner . Our friend ordered the lamb chops and was not disappointed. We ordered the El Turco mix and the food was delicious. We also had hummus and falafel as appetizers. Our waitress brought us a free custard dessert and tea on the house which were pleasant surprises. Our dinner @ El Turco was delicious & memorable . We loved chatting with our waitress and left with a great feeling of a really enjoyable dinner.

What is not to love about this place?! First, the staff was very friendly and they tend to your needs. Secondly, the food was AMAZING! The menu was clear and to the point and provided images and the staff were able to give you recommendations and made it very hospitable.

Amazing. Food was spectacular, dessert was delicious and service was amazing. We had Turkish tea with Kunefe. Omg it was amazing. The waitress recommended it and let us try it on the house! We loved it so much that we had to order a second round! It was my Colombians moms first time trying Turkish food and she can’t wait to go back! She ordered the Sautéed Chicken and loved it.

Food is amazing, we got the mixed appetizers my favorite was the eggplant with tomato. we also got the mixed grill the chicken is one of the best chicken i’ve ever tried. the adana kebab though was a bit greasy although it was good as well. the service was great we asked them to replace the gyro in the mixed grill since we dont like it and they did with kufta kebab. we also got complimentary tea which was so nice of them. definitely coming back and highly recommend this place.
