Ciya Mediterranean Cuisine

"Step into a culinary journey through Istanbul at Ciya Mediterranean Cousine. With authentic flavors, impeccable service, and a cozy ambiance, it's a must-visit for anyone craving Turkish cuisine. Don't miss their mouthwatering kebabs and delightful baklava!""

"On a bustling Sunday night around 6:45 p.m., my partner and I discovered this lively spot. Surprisingly, we managed to secure the last table on the inviting back patio. Finding parking was straightforward, with ample street parking directly in front. I opted for the fries, enticed by their golden crispiness, while my partner, mindful of her allergies, chose the beef kebab. The kitchen’s flexibility to accommodate her dietary needs impressed us. My selection, the beyti kebab, was a delightful new flavor experience I’d highly recommend. The homemade lemonade I ordered was refreshingly good, albeit a tad sweeter than my usual preference. The patio setting, enhanced by warm heaters, created a cozy atmosphere. The service stood out for its efficiency and warmth. The entire staff, including the owner Hasan, who personally greeted us with hugs, made us feel incredibly welcome. Chatting with Hasan about our mutual appreciation for Turkey added a special touch to our evening. This establishment isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a highlight of Half Moon Bay, thanks to its exceptional food and the genuine warmth of its staff. Whether you choose to dine inside or outside, be mindful of the dinner rush. It’s a place I eagerly anticipate returning to for more culinary adventures."

"Sooooo we came across this restaurant and the guy was so nice and inviting! He asked us to come over and looked through the menu even though we were not planning to eat anything at the time. However, I looked at kunefe in the menu and I knew I had to come back after walking around! Ordered kunefe, and when we ordered the cashier introduced us to rice pudding that was just freshly made so we felt like we must get it! Disclaimer: they both were REALLY GOOD that my husband, who is lactose intolerant, can't stop eating both of them. The restaurant was really crowded at the time, but the crowd dies down after some time. We will surely go back again to try their dishes!"

"We stopped in for a quick bite and we were not disappointed. The appetizers plate was perfect to share with 6 of us. The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Highly recommend for great Mediterranean food."

"Best service you'll find in Half Moon Bay. On top of that, the food was affordable, fast, and tasted fantastic! We ordered two mains (Gyro Salad and Gyro Entree) and two appetizers, which came out to about $50. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the Feta Wraps were also especially good."
