1. Extremely loud and poor music. Then moved outside where it is less noise.2. No fan was running outside.3. Ordered Chicken Kebabs which is full of rice, bread, and a little quantity of chicken4. Worst part, charged gratuity forcefully for just 2 people in spite of poor service.5. Food is not worth the price.Wasted my money, time, and left with unsatisfied appetite.

They are thieves in this restaurant, watch them. They charge you more than their menu price. Their food is small portion, dry and awful and we got food poisoning. Also this restaurant is always empty and dirty

Great food and good service! My husband and I stumbled across this gem by chance and are we glad we did. We ordered the Royal Meat Lovers Platter with a Mediterranean salad. It was absolutely delicious and the portion was perfect for two people with an appetite. Service was prompt. Owner is a sweetheart!

The food here is excellent! You must be willing to wait though. There was only 1 waitress for the entire restaurant and she sure did hustle! The service and time was not terrible considering she was the only one. I would definitely return.

Great food, great music, great atmosphere. We came for a date night and fell in love. Everything was perfect. We came back a week later because we couldn't stop thinking about the food. We got the mixed platter and there was so much food we had left overs! It's a definite must try!

We are here for an event that they are hosting. It is 20.39. Been here an hour and 39 minutes. Not a waiter in sight to ask for even water. Finally they are bringing a meze plate. Cold dry food. Cole spongy borek. No thank you.
The food was great, the staff was super polite, I gave them five stars because they're suffering like everybody else from lack of employees. It took forever for the food to come out but we had a great time at the end of the night.

Wow, as a Turk, Gengiz Grill was a place I recommended my friends to try pre-COVID. We briefly spoke to the owner and he's been having trouble recovering and I personally felt bad for his situation as this once lively, upbeat location had 1 other table seated for a Sunday dinner our entire visit. The mixed appetizers were delicious as I remembered and served with warm pita bread. The iskender was not as good as I remembered. The doner was not cut in thin long pieces as a traditional doner meat is sliced, but rather in thick chunks. Otherwise, very flavorful. The beyti is my to go order and was as good as I remember. The owner had made kibbeh for his employees and shared some with us and they were delicious. We did not try the baklava this time around and they did not have kunefe which is what I normally like to request. Each dinner plate comes with bulgur or white rice. I always got their bulgur, but they didn't have that either. The white rice was bland. Service was very slow. With one server present and I'm assuming 2 people in the kitchen. We were a table of 9 people and some of us waited an extra 20 minutes while others shared their food to those waiting.

Great place for authentic Mediterranean meals. A quick bite or a full meal, they have great grilled meats and even vegetarian options. I highly recommend. Amazing food, staff , and owner!

One of my favorite restaurants. The food is amazing. The owner is very nice. Some of the best Turkish food I have had. I try to come here a couple days of times a month.

We (4 friends) had the mixed appetizers and the big mixed platter that we were barely able to finish as it was more than enough for us all. Very delicious too, hence the 5*. I don't recommend the baklava though.
No wonder they are out of business. Horrible!
