What a treasure—this was the best Turkish food I’ve had outside of Turkey. The kebab and Mecver plate—a vegetarian patty—were outstanding, especially with the garlic yogurt sauce and red onion salad (more like a pickle accompaniment). Highly recommend!
Finally got to try it out yesterday and we loved it! Friendly staff, clean place and most importantly fantastic food! We had the sampler, chicken donner & steak kabobs. All was delicious including the carrot salad! Would definitely recommend and we will be back!
Ask for Tanja to be your server. She was awesome!!! We were excited to try Ugly Restaurant, as we love Turkish food. These folks did not disappoint.
Tanja brought us some pita bread and carrot salad to start. That was complementary. We had a couple of cocktails from the bar, which were very good. We next had the Cigar Borek, which were little cheese rolls with a spicy tomato dip that was outstanding!
We then ordered the beef doner wrap, which was just delicious! The beef they use for this is really tender and delicious.
We cannot wait to return to this lovely Ugly Restaurant. :)
Fantastic and authentic Turkish dishes!
WOW. My husband and I shared the sampler meat dish, then delicious Desserts.
Food was delicious. Plenty of dishes to try. Server was super nice. Ambiance is pretty casual.
Turkish fare, pretty good!
Good food at fair prices
Pita is wonderful, beef and lamb doner is good, adana kabob is excellent. I recommend going.
Shared the mixed grill. It was delicious! The meat was very tender and well cooked. Brooklyn was our waitress and she was fantastic. This is a very comfortable place to have a wonderful meal. We'll be back!
This place gave me the worst food poisoning of my life. It is my sincere recommendation that if you aren't interested in 9 hours of the debilitating discharge of bodily fluids from every orifice, that you avoid this place at all costs.
If you look at my review history, you will see that I do not typically write negative reviews, as it is my preference to give business the benefit of the doubt for a single bad showing. However, this review is a matter of public health. While other reviews suggest many patrons have dined here and been fine, I will never risk it again. Make your own decisions on if this deters you or not.

Amazing food! We loved this place !! Food was Amazing!! Especially as someone who is Persian!
We went for lunch. Food was delicious. The owners are from Adana so realize the food is from that region if you're used to food from another region of Turkey. For example, we're used to eating mantı with sumac, not mint, so we requested that. The waitress was super friendly and helpful. She tried to speak some Turkish with us. The atmosphere was calm and quiet. We met another Turkish family there and that was fun too.
I absolutely enjoyed the food. I had the dumplings. They were soft, and the texture was pleasing. I had the baba ganoush and was delighted! Oh, get the cheese cigars, you won't be disappointed! Service was very kind and attentive. They made you feel welcome there :). The atmosphere was pleasant enough but didn't really stand out in any way. An excellent experience overall.
The food was great. We just came back from Istanbul and we found this Turkish restaurant that was pretty authentic.
The young blond server was kind of careless. Maybe she had a bad day but she definite lacked in customer service.
We talked with the owner and he took care of us, everything was perfect afterwards!
I highly recommend this place, the food was very tasty and authentic Turkish.
This place is amazing! Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. We started with the hummus, followed by the Mediterranean salad and chicken guvec and I’d recommend them all. Even my kids, who can be picky, loved their burgers. I don’t usually dine out often, but this restaurant is on another level. It’s definitely worth the visit!
