7 months agoI loved dining here a lot. The food served is wonderful, I've never had Turkish food before ,and this was quite a good introduction to it. The Lahmacun was amazing , and we loved the Pita bread a lot too. ( And actually went and ordered it twice ) P.S - They also have us complimentary Turkish Tea ,which was delightful as well. The service was great too ,and the people here were very polite and helpful.

7 months agoUpdate 1 - March, 2025 - Still 5 Stars: Placed an order through their website for an Iftar dinner in the afternoon but set the delivery time for right around Iftar time. The order was delivered exactly on time and everything was packed well and exactly as ordered. The adana kebab was a bit on the salty side and the calves liver was beef liver instead. Overall a great experience although I hope next time I order, the Adana wouldn’t be as salty. Original review: If you enjoy authentic Turkish cuisine, you will love this place. I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere there. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. It’s as if we dined at one of the restaurants in Istanbul! It was difficult to find a parking spot but overall a great experience.

7 months agoAmazing experience at this Turkish restaurant! The staff were warm and welcoming,and very active. and the food was full of rich, authentic flavors. Our order was a bit delayed, but they kindly served us FREE plate of Baba Ganoush and Hummus and fresh bread while we waited and even gave us complimentary TEA afterward. One of the best parts? They offer all sauces in big bottles and trust me, that’s rare these days! Definitely worth visiting again.

7 months agoWe have dined at this restaurant a few times. The food and service are consistently good every time. The saute spinach is my all time favorite, so is their bread. Chicken and beef kebabs, and grilled branzino are moist and flavorful. The only complaint is the lamb chop, it’s too dry in our opinion.

7 months agoThe menu is packed with delicious traditional dishes. I started with the mixed appetizer platter, which included hummus, baba ghanoush, and ezme. All fresh and full of flavor. For the main course, the **Adana kebab** was perfectly spiced and grilled to perfection, while the lamb shank (falling off the bone!) was rich and tender. Don’t skip the baklava for dessert. it was sweet, flaky, and the perfect ending to the meal.

7 months agoI order here all the time, both from this location and the Bay Parkway one. Food is always great quality and the staff is super nice. They messed up my order last week for the first time (in years mind you), but when I called in and explained my problem the manager and cashier were both super understanding and offered to remake the entire order for me free of charge. Love a place that takes responsibility and helps their customers. As usual - will be back !
