Highly recommend their tasting menu. The kebab, shrimp and eggplant were the highlights. Super complex yet delicate flavor. We will be back!

Exceptional food, service and hospitality dining experience!
We had a corporate dinner hosted at the ground floor, which can be satisfied partly of 18. There is an upper floor with buyout or minimum expense options, giving more private and party or event if needed.
Menu options are group-diner. 3-4 courses family-style shared for appetizers (3 dishes), and OYW entree and dessert. Vegetarian is also available.
Fine food and fresh ingredients for the dinner overall. I am very impressed by meat cooking-level remained in perfect condition for a multiple orders at the same time for our party ( 7-10 orders of lamb chops). The overall serving pace is running smoothly and well timing management. All crews are friendly and very happy to help.
Restroom condition is clean (all genders). A luxurious brand amenity “Aesop” is applied.

Hidden gem!!
We don’t rly eat Turkish food but decided to explore this neighborhood restaurant because they had an extremely affordable tasting menu. And we were so pleasantly surprised!!
Everything was delicious, unique (Turkish Californian fusion) and you can’t beat the price. So happy to have discovered this place and would definitely recommend the tasting menu. Love the veggie-forward menu as well! The bf who hates veggies loved them all.

Edit: went there a second time and brought friends, who all loved every dish! We shared a few mezes and each had an entree this time. Definitely recommend the panisse, beets, lamb chops, and all the desserts were great. The risotto was the weaker dish but everything else was amazing.

We came here with a large party of 10 people to celebrate my partner's bday. We all ordered the 7 course meal, the lamb carpacio to share and 3 bottles of wine.

Overall, I think the 7 course meal is an amazing deal! $55 for a ton of food and variety. The food was also delicious. The addition of the lamb carpacio was also a great idea since we were curious about this dish and it did not disappoint.

For the wine, the sommelier was entertaining, knowledgeable and very responsive. I highly recommend following his suggestions, as they were A+.

The only thing I would recommend to the restaurant to improve on the experience is to remind the customers what each dish was when it is brought out. The servers placed the dish down on our table without any information, and since we didn't have the menu in front of us anymore, we kept asking what is this dish?

Alright quick confession: I walked back and forth looking for the door a little too long before I realized the sign was an arrow pointing me right to it, but the unintended silver lining was when I did find my way inside and saw how warm and cozy it was it felt like I’d discovered something amazing. The restaurant itself is really beautiful, but it’s not just for show; the food was phenomenal, the cocktails and wine selection were great, and the staff was excellent. Highly recommend, whatever the occasion.

We had a fabulous dinner here. We opted to skip the 7 course tasting menu and choose off the regular menu. The Panisse, the chickpea fries, were so yummy! We also had the Trio dips and pita, lamb carpaccio, and lamb chops that were so good. We didn’t care for the Patlican (eggplant), which was a bit bland compared to everything else. The presentation was stunning, and the service was great. The server was very knowledgeable about all the ingredients and which dishes had dairy in them. We had a fantastic experience!

I tried dips/mezes and the manti. The food significantly differs from its local/authentic taste. Why would you add carrot to the manti sauce?

The food and atmosphere were amazing. Very put together but also felt laid back. We went there with a large group of friends and had the tasting menu. The lamb and beef dumplings were divine!

Had a work dinner here and was reallly impressed. The pot pie was a standout but everything had a delicious twist and didn't dissapoint. The only thing I didn't love were the Turkish donuts.

A nice surprise! Very affordable pris fix at $55/pers. The crunchy shrimp was my favorite, but everything tasted delicious. Nice ambiance too!
