Consistently good food and service here. Ali always takes good care of my crew and me. With a great menu, wine list, and full bar, it's good for everyone. Great vegetarian options as well. My personal favorite is the iskender/alexander kabob entree.
Atmosphere is cozy and homey. I look forward to coming back time and again.

Everytime i have passed by this cafe, its been closed..but luckily it was open when i walked in at 2pm on Wednesday and i directly ordered baklawa to go. It wass greatt!!!! The filo was crispy and not overly drenched in syrup which honestly wouldnt have bothered me but i liked it.
Its 4 pcs for 15$. A little steep, but i ll get it.
Will try the kunafa next time, the person who processed my transaction said its made with turkish cheese, fingers crossed its crispy too.

The restaurant lies about having beef in the meats. I do not eat beef for religious reasons and had asked the server to confirm if one of their dishes has beef in it. The server confirmed that it doesn’t. We have been to the restaurant several times after that and they have always said it doesn’t have beef. Today we planned to order takeout for the first time and noticed in DoorDash that the contents included beef. We called them to ask about it and they said their meat does indeed have beef.
This was extremely disappointing to learn. It feels misleading and irresponsible for them to repeatedly provide inaccurate information about their ingredients
They lie about meat content. The first couple of times we came here, we asked if there was any beef in the Iskender dish and they assured us there was none. The menu had stated something ambiguous like “slices of meat”. We do not eat beef as practicing Hindus, so we ordered it and have since eaten it several times. Today when I went to order takeout online for the first time, I saw beef in the Iskender description, so I called to ask about it, and they confirmed it actually does have beef. They lied about what was in the food despite us asking specifically about it.
The atmosphere is perfect for a dinner venue. The food is delicious; with crispy grilled fish and soft beef kebab. The tzatziki is incredible as well. The server was very friendly! Highly recommend!

The food was very disappointing. Falafel was so hard we couldn't cut it with a knife. We cancelled our entree order. Great service though.

Excellent food and service. Was surprised to find a fried anchovies dish, which I guess is a seasonal thing, and was great too. Did an assortment of appetizers and all were flavorful and well prepared. A kepper!

I ordered Beef Kebab well done, all 4 peaces of meet were juicy and soft and tender, but two were cooked perfectly and two others were extremely red inside, so I sent them back to the kitchen to cook for a bit more. Service is not attentive.
Dear kitchen staff, more consistent meet works be appreciated. Still gone them 5 stars.
I will come again to try lamb shank, it looked awesome.

good turkish food
Food - Mid. Moussaka could have been a lot better. Opa!'s Moussaka is top notch compared to this.
Same goes for desserts, icecream was bland, other sweets too sweet.
Service - Great!
Atmosphere - They did not have their AC running at 1pm in sweltering heat in August. It was too hot to gulp food down.

The best Turkish food in North America and some of THE BEST food I’ve ever had, don’t say that lightly at all! Excellent service to match the lip smacking food. A unique Turkish liquor they serve ultra chilled is a refreshing drink to try as well. The food you can’t go wrong with anything. A super tasty herbed tomato chilli oil they serve with amazing free bread at the table should be bottled and sold 😋

Fantastic food and nice service too. I ordered the mezze set as well as the spanakopita and the seared cheese dish, to share with three other friends. We had a perfect evening.
