Food was delicious and the guy who took our order was super helpful as it was our first time!! He recommended us the filet mignon combo plate and we added on the adana kebab. my boyfriend and i shared it and it was a good amount of food! We also tried some fries which were good. Prices are fair as well.

Great Turkish coffee!! Come here for dessert--we came for baklava which was a little sweet but you could taste the real butter.

I was more than 30 times in Istanbul. Turkish food is amazing, rich and flavors, and meat melts in your mouth. Turkish cuisine is one of my favorites. Did I enjoy this restaurant? No. Save your money and time, and go somewhere else. They have packed in the disposable container everything - lamb meat, rice, baba ghanoush, ezme liquid yogurt salad, and pita bread. All mixed together and pita bread pieces were swimming in the yogurt salad. NICE! It looks like packed for a piggy. The lamb meat was dry, nothing to enjoy. Never ever again!

It was my first time trying a Turkish kitchen. I realized that I missed a lot. The restaurant is very clean with a unique Turkish atmosphere. The food is delicious. The staff is very friendly, especially the waiter. It will be on my list of my favorite restaurants in Fountain Valley. Thank you. I recommend visiting this place.

my friends and i meandered into turkish kitchen hungover tired and starving. we were ready for a nutritious meal. the man who took my order was so kind and greatly assisted me through my indecision on what to order. i decided on the chicken doner & what a great decision it was. my fiance ordered the lamb kebab & it was delicious (not chewy at all, well flavored!). my chicken doner was seasoned well and the creamy tzatziki sauce tied everything together. the cashier gave us a free little side salad out of the good kindness of his heart! it made my day. if you are craving something healthy and made with love, i highly recommend stopping by turkish kitchen.

The Turkish Kitchen was delicious. I highly recommend the liver and shawarma. I enjoyed the ramadan dinner. olives dates and dyed fruit appetizer along with the two person mixed meat plates. Finishing with baklava and pudding. Both desserts were delicious. the baklava was very similar to real Turkish style but I especially enjoyed the pudding.

Came here to for a late dinner for myself, ordered the chicken dinner with a side of falafel. Dinner was good but waited for an hour to not receive my falafel. The nice man there assured me that they were working on the falafel, after an hour I couldn't wait longer. Very disappointed, the easiest $12 they made.

I recently dined at Turkish Kitchen, and unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The main letdown was the chicken kebab wrap, which lacked the flavorful punch I had anticipated. The taste was disappointingly bland, especially considering the reputation Turkish cuisine has for its bold and aromatic flavors. Another aspect that didn't sit well with me was the service. Despite being the only table in the establishment, the wait time for my order was unusually long. This added to the overall dissatisfaction with the dining experience. Additionally, I understand the current economic challenges and inflation affecting businesses, but I was taken aback when I was charged for every sauce beyond the first one. Most places are generous enough to provide at least one sauce complimentary, and then charge for additional ones. This felt like an unnecessary nickel-and-diming approach that didn't align with the level of service and quality I expected. In conclusion, while I appreciate the effort put into Turkish Kitchen, there are areas that need improvement, especially regarding flavor consistency, prompt service, and customer-friendly policies regarding condiments.

The food was terrible. The chicken on the kebabs was dry. So dry the pita bread was dry and hard. We ended up throwing it all out. Can't remember the last time I was served such terrible food.

The entree is enough for two! The beef doner and chicken kababs are my favorite. Delicious grape leaves. Always get the Tziki! Been here 3 times. It's my new favorite place. Oh and the desserts are delightful!

One of the best Turkish / Mediterranean spots in whole SoCal region. We tried their specialty Adana Kebab and it was delicious, probably the best I’ve ever had. Generous portions and great side options as well, including chili hummus & babaghanoush. And they served us unlimited Turkish tea, coupled with baklava, the right way to end any meal. We’ll be back for sure!

I used to eat in that place every month but last time I went there it was so bad , food not tasty like before, quantity of food way less and the price is more. Before 1 sandwich could make two persons full, it was huge sandwich and taste so good , now the sandwich is very tiny , less meat , no taste, less side sauce. Need 3 sandwiches to make one person full. Size of sandwich so tiny and no taste. I think that restaurant sold to new owner and that owner is too stingy , he thought he is smart enough to make more money with bad food ,less taste food . I advice everyone not to eat there because you will spend a lot of money for not tasty food like before. I wish they did not sell that restaurant because it was the only restaurant in that area the food was tasted like the taste on our back country food.Even my kids noticed the bad and different food taste they used to taste before . Now need to search for different restaurant. Turkish kitchen restaurant erased from my list . I l expect they will close soon.
