Turkish Restaurants near San Carlos, CA

“Probably the best Turkish restaurant in the Bay Area. Hidden away on San Carlos Avenue in San Carlos, the food is outstanding and the service is awesome. Even the deserts were incredible. With so many Mediterranean restaurants around here it's hard to stand out, but this place rises above the rest.“

“Really enjoyed Nomadic Kitchen in San Mateo! They feature a streamlined menu focused on heavy-hitting entrees and appetizers, which makes ordering easy because everything they do, they do right.

The hummus plate is an absolute must-have. It features incredibly creamy, delicious hummus topped with vibrant cabbage and pomegranate seeds. It is surrounded by a beautiful ring of rich, colorful sauces, dips, and pickles that pair perfectly with the basket of warm, homemade bread.

For the main course, the chicken kebab was a total hit. The chicken breast cubes are perfectly charred and incredibly tender. What really sets Nomadic Kitchen over the top is their beautiful plating and generous side options. The entree comes out beautifully arranged on a sleek black platter, complete with a fresh salad topped with pickled cabbage, a side of seasoned bulgur wheat, and a side of fluffy white rice. Having both rice options on one plate is a fantastic touch.

If the weather is nice, I highly recommend sitting out on the patio area to enjoy the beautiful San Mateo sun. The service was completely solid, friendly and fairly quick, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get. I will definitely be back.“

“Excellent food, drinks and service.“

“We had a fantastic time! The food was incredible, with the chicken kebab and Greek salad being particular standouts. The combo appetizer was also a hit. Clarisa provided exceptional service, taking care to explain each dish and making sure we had everything we needed. We can't wait to go back and highly recommend it to others!“

“Good food it was a plate half chicken and half lamb with rice and salad also hummus. And dessert was kunafah , it was my first time tasting it and it was good much better than baqlava. Good hospitality and very clean environment. Definitely recommend. Thanks“

“We had a nice lunch outside at Anatolian Kitchen. We shared one app and had wraps. The wraps are very large, cut in half, and could be shared by two if not overly hungry. Both the lamb and the chicken were tasty. Two of us enjoyed mocktail Margaritas and we all ended with cappuccinos. Nice service on a sunny day (but outside tables mostly in shade).“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! I ordered the lamb shank, and it came with rice and a huge fresh salad. It was absolutely amazing.

I also ordered the baklava, and it’s honestly the best baklava I’ve had in the Bay Area so far.

I highly recommend trying the baklava and, of course, the lamb shank. Thanks for a fantastic mealI left very happy!“

“Very good Turkisk food, great outdoor seating front and back, and always friendly staff. State St. has some of the best restaurants in beautiful Los Altos!“

“Hand-pulled pan-fried noodles is one of my favorite dishes. I get it at every restaurant that sells it. This restaurant had the best version of that dish I have ever had, by a considerable margin. I have never written a google restaurant review before, but the food was so good that it motivated me to write one.

It was like every ingredient was the best version of that ingredient and all the ingredients were all put together into one symphony of flavor. I was reminded of the first time I heard the Beatles.“

“We ordered the house combo and it was very tasty. It came with 4 meats(chicken,beef,gyro ,koftedes). All of the meat was juicy,tender and well seasoned. The rice. was fluffy ans delicious. The mixed green salad had tomatoes amd cucumber and was topped with a pickled cabbage and dressed to perfection. I only had a small bite of the pita because rhe meal was so filling. I can't wait to try the baklava we ordered. What a great find. I will definitely be going back to this restaurant.“
