"My only regret was not visiting sooner. Food was delicious and the folks working there were super friendly and helpful. We had a party of four and ordered the Mixed Grill for 4 and it was the perfect amount of food. The meat was delicious and so tender, not overcooked at all. I would’ve loved a bit more of the grilled veggies! We also got the babaganoush which was also great with their fresh breads. Would come back again!"

"I met up with a couple of friends after work and this spot came up as options for dinner. A quick glance at their menu and I was game. To start we had their Greek salad and babaghanoush. Both were delicious, but I think the highlight was the vessel we got it in - the dinner roll breads and puffy bread (this restaurant does any form bread SOOO well). The dinner rolls were light, fluffy, and came out warm. The puffy bread (not sure what it’s actually called on the menu) is super crispy and comes out like a hot air balloon filled with hot steam. We also got Lahmacun (flat bread with meat spread on top) - which was tasty and full of spices, even though I’m not the biggest fan of lamb. The Spinach Pide was also good, but nothing I haven’t had before - out of all the things I ordered if we had to nix one this one would’ve ended up on the chopping block. We got the mix meat to share and that was entertainment for the night as it claim with fire burning in the center and the waiter cut open the bread like an envelope to reveal the meats inside. The co-owner, Cliff, came around and introduced himself and thanking us for coming to dine. Super sweet and even gave us rice pudding to share on the house!"

"It was wintery weather so we got right in as they were not crowded. The waiter was extremely helpful as this was our first Turkish restaurant. All the suggestions were good. Service was prompt, food out quickly, attentive staff. We will return. Lots of carry out orders going out as well."

"If you’re looking for an authentic flavorful, Turkish cuisine you’ve come to the right place, we started off with the mixed appetizers and the lamachun, for an entrée, we ordered the mixed grill. It was delicious! 10 out of 10 highly recommend! The service was great, and the ambience was elegant!"

"The food here is amazing! Each dish is bursting with robust flavors. The service was kind, constantly feeding us bread. We had a great time dining here!"
