Amazing Turkish food served here. The owner personally serves and manages this place. Had a good experience visiting this place. Plenty of vegetarian options too and great taste.

Homemade Ayran and Turkish Coffee was great. Plenty of beverage options.

Kunefe and Baklava were amazing to close out our dinner.

Wow! Cooked to perfection. Healthy, savory, delicious options for vegetarians (and everyone). Feels like you are in someone’s home and they really care about what they are serving you. Loved the simplicity of the Turkish Pumpkin dessert (got without whipped cream). Thank you, Pasha!

The food was good, the service was not, the guy treated us like he is doing us a favor by letting us eat at his restaurant, arrogant behavior, but the decor of the restaurant is nice tho.
