Turkish Restaurants near Charlestown, MA

“The restaurant owner’s approach toward customers was quite harsh and unpleasant. In my opinion, his communication style was unprofessional, and I actually think the business might do better if the owner were not present in the shop.

I did not feel comfortable as a customer, and therefore I will not choose to visit again. I believe one of the most important things in a business is respectful and balanced communication, and I did not see that here.

I wish the staff ease and patience in their work“

“First visit today, although we live somewhat in the neighborhood and I am already kicking myself for not having got here sooner. Red tabbouleh spicing was very punchy and vivid. Allspice in the stuffed grape leaves make them worth coming back for, not something I think I've ever said about stuffed grape leaves before. Most unforgettable was the red lentil soup with its soft rich velvety texture over two or three layers of different delicious flavors. Great first impression, can't wait to go back, solid A leaning toward A+.“

“This place is superb. The food was delicious, fresh, tasty, VERY SUBSTANTIAL (one bowl will feed 3!) and a delight. The owner welcomed us with grace and kindness and told us that if it wasn't to our liking, he would make it right. We were gifted Rice Pudding (the cinnamon....oy vey!) and Baklava. Will be back every time I go to Mass General for treatment.“

“Ate at the new location in Allston last night with a friend and the food there was amazing! Excellent fresh bread, lentil soup, and wrap. Service was generally good with a few hiccups.“

“After quickly sifting in and out of the other overly trendy Brookline Village restaurants the other day, we stumbled (again after 20 years) into Anatolia. Humble, unpretentious, tables filled with friends and families not glued to their phones, we were seated by a lively attentive and excellent waitress. The Anatolian red wine was excellent, the lemon rice soup a nice starter, I like the fried liver cubes (not for my non offal eating wife :/), and the the mantis- little dumplings with a lamb chunk served with yogurt utterly scrumptious. And the ground lamb kebab - it so outclasses the dry bland stuff in many Mediterranean style joints around Greater Boston. Finished with a delightfully light, flaky baklava with just a touch of sweetness and ground pistachios - a nice adult dessert finally! Not a showy place - solid home style cooking. Bring some friends and share lots of plates!“

“I've promised to myself to stop ordering iskender kebab at every Turkish place I go to. But I'm happy I broke that promise and got it here. Must have been the best iskender I had outside of Turkey. Turkish coffee was amazing as well. Service was great, not pushy but very attentive. Turkish music in the background and right across the street from the Garden.“

“I’ve almost tried the whole menu at Halva Kabab and honestly, everything is so good. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the quality and authenticity in their food. The kebabs are juicy, the sides are delicious, and the desserts are amazing too.

Hands down the best Turkish place in Boston. Highly recommend if you’re craving real, authentic Turkish food!“

“It’s a small cozy café with around 5 to 6 tables inside probably can fit around 20 people at Max, but it had one of the best kunefe I’ve had in recent times! I’m so interested in trying the lamachun next time and a bunch of other Turkish dishes. I’ll definitely be back.! I also felt the pricing was relatively more affordable than a lot of other Mediterranean places.“

“Coffee Turco has great coffee with rich, authentic flavor and a cozy atmosphere. The pastries and snacks are a nice bonus, and the service is warm and welcoming. A wonderful place to relax or catch up with friends. Just a little room for improvement, but overall a very enjoyable spot!“

“The food was fresh flavorful and delicious .“
