Food was not worth the price!! The yogurt chicken gyro was mainly made of bread croutons that were soggy because of the sauce on top. The chicken was basically nonexistent. Would not recommend to anyone!

First time eating Turkish food so my wife and I got the mixed platter and can easily say we loved it. Great food and staff at what seems to be a family owned restaurant. Definitely earned the high ranking.

Excellent. Great folks. Excellent food. Love the appetizers and main courses. Fresh, hot, large portions. We've been going here about every other week since it opened.

Excellent food and great service. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care — the meats were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned, and the portions were very satisfying. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel welcoming from start to finish.

The atmosphere is nice and comfortable, though a bit more casual than upscale, which honestly works well for the type of food and setting. Overall, a very solid spot for authentic Turkish cuisine, and I’d definitely come back and recommend it to others.

I decided to try this restaurant because of its high Google ratings, but I was disappointed with the experience. The rice tasted spoiled, the food had an unusual smell, and the atmosphere wasn’t very pleasant. We also had to wait very long time for our meal. I’m genuinely surprised by the number of positive reviews.

My wife and I read the 4 bad reviews out of almost 200 total reviews before we went and they seamed kinda petty: too little food for the price, someone wasn't friendly enough, etc. So we decided to give it a shot.

The key is to order the appetizers and desert! We ordered to share hot Hummus with fresh hot bread and Falafel appetizers and then a beef kebab plate. I get that if you only order a main dish of beef or lamb you might feel like it's too little food for the money. But you are ordering premium cuts of meat in a restaurant; not a McDonalds hamburger.

The beef was delicious. The rice and salad was delicious. But the highlight was the the fresh hot bread with hot Hummus and the falafel. Those were incredible and a lot of food for 2 people to share, and very reasonably priced. And then at the end we had the rolled baklavah that was hot. It was the best I've ever had in my life! And I lived in the Middle East for 2 years! I've had my share of Baklavah and Kanafe. This one was amazing!

Also the guy serving us on a Saturday night was very friendly and professional.

Amazing restaurant! Just had a wonderful and delicious lunch with my loved one and WOW. We had the grape leaves and falafel and every bite was as refreshing and tasty as the last. As for our main course, we weren't too sure what to order, but our wonderful waitress pointed us in the right direction! The lamb was spectacular! Finished up with a home made desert that was simply divine!
