If you want real authentic turkish food and a family friendly environment, come here. It seems like this place is still a hidden gem. I used to come here all the time 10 years ago The food and service is still amazing as before. The owner is very kind. We had a large party on a friday night and the place was mostly empty, lots of take out orders though. I think it's because it's just outside the edge of downtown Petaluma. If you love turkish coffee, he is a master at making it. We ate family style and shared combo plates and appetizer combos, dolmas, salmon and ciggeretos. It was the perfect place to catch up with friends and enjoy a perfect meal. I am glad this is still here.
Come here to enjoy the food with good company. To people that complain about slow service, outdated furniture or overpriced food, this isn't a fast food junk place! The food is fresh with quality and made with love. When things are cooked fresh they take longer to prepare.
awesome spot, great value for some amazing food. lunch special was great.

Mediocre Turkish food. Maybe just the best in the area. We ordered takeout by phone and there was literally no customers at lunch time on a Sunday. Had a wait a bit longer than quoted. We split a real doner combo plate $38 between 2 people. It came with every type of meat, salad, and pita bread. The sauce was the best thing lol. Skewers were both kind of dry. The lamb/beef doner (basically gyros) and kofte were the better meats. At least nothing was salty and relatively healthy. Small/medium sized, hole in the wall looking restaurant. There's indoor and covered outdoor seating. Order at the counter, self serve, open seating. Free street parking. I don't recommend

We ordered a little of everything so our kids could get the full Turkish food flavor palette. Everything was delicious and the owners were very hospitable.

Has the feel of being back in Turkey with local small Cafe charm. Their Donor is the closest you will get outside of the country. Good size portions and variety just like you would see in Turkey! Food so good you won't need salt. Comfortable seating outside and inside. I love the smell of this place

Shared the real doner combo plate with my beautiful wife. We got a side of rice and everything was absolutely delicious. This place is a hidden gem.
Everything I've tried has been excellent—both meat and vegetarian options. The staff are very friendly and kind. The atmosphere is cozy and authentic. The portion sizes are great. Check it out!

I have changed my mind from 2 to 5 stars! I think their chicken was just under salted, but otherwise the flavor of the kofte and chicken are wonderful! Perfect portions! Left not feeling overstuffed, but definitely satisfied! Sauces and salads are amazing. Glad I gave them a second chance. I wonder if they would consider doing a German-Style Döner Kebab?

Never go to this restaurant. You will be regret. The worse restaurant in Petaluma.

Absolutely 5/5. This is an owner-operated spot where quality comes first — and it shows. The food is made with care, so yes, it’s not “fast food,” but it’s worth every minute. Portions are extremely generous for the price, making it a fantastic value. Some reviews calling it slow or pricey are missing the point: you’re getting top-tier flavor, freshness, and quantity here. A true gem.

The food is really good here. They have Turkish coffee as well.
Service is a little slow, but the guy is also running a one man show.
