Nice atmosphere and good service. We ordered the lamb pide which was baked right and super delicious. We also got the Turkuaz dish and the lamb cubes were so chewy.

Amazing flavors, plus you get to sit on a cushion on the floor to eat, what's not to love?

One of the clean Turkish food in the town though the lamb kofta didn’t taste like fresh I think it is frozen.!
Other than that the food was 3.5/5

I wasn't planning on coming here for lunch (I was walking l to the Indian buffet less than a block away), but I noticed the sign out front that said 'Lunch Buffet Mon-Fri)' so I decided to change my plans.

Boy, am I glad that I did!

There are 2 distinct seating areas. Near the window there is the traditional Turkish sit-on-the-floor area. Towards the back are conventional tables (no booths).

What the sign in front failed to mention is that when you order from the lunch buffet ($15), you also get to choose 1 item off the appetizer as well. (If you want to see what was on the buffet the day that I went, look at the attached pictures. There is also a photo of the appetizer menu.)

This is a family-run business and service is extra friendly and fast.

Note: If you pay with cash, there is a 5% discount.

1st, your atmosphere is wonderful, but exuberant fellow patrons made conversation difficult. WORTH IT every way! My husband, son & I savored every morsel & the wonderful food eased our spirits. And I just found a word re: our table person, Shahada, royalty. She is radiant.

This is an attractive, waiter-served Turkish restaurant, where you can sit on cushions on the floor or at tables. They have some clearly labeled vegan items. I had a falafel gyro that was quite good, and my friend has a hummus plate that he loved. For my gyro, they needed to sub the feta and tzadiki for hummus--for which they charged me extra.

Absolutely my favorite spot in Bloomington every time I’m here. The owner and his family are extremely nice and comforting. Couldn’t ask for better service, and all the ingredients are fresh and quality.

Love the food and the sitting area but only compliant is the atmosphere. It's a silent and awkward and the lightening is too bright. If they had a little more ambience we would definitely be regulars. Please get some music playing and turn the lights down!

The food was delicious! We stopped in for Sunday lunch and had sarma (grape leaves), lamb pide and dish turkuaz. Every bit of it was hot, fresh and tasty and our server was knowledgeable about the food, friendly and provided excellent service. Would highly recommend!
