Turkish Restaurants near Webster Groves, MO

“Another winner. Rob and I ate a late lunch at Balkan Treat Box in Webster Grove, Mo, today. I have known about this place for awhile, and finally got here, today. This delightful, friendly to all, little restaurant boasts a James Beard nominated Chef, many times over. One taste of the Browned butter hummus, and grilled bread, and you won't wonder why she ROCKS those nominations. Layers of flavor explode in your mouth. Sweet, salty, citrusy, and smooth as silk tastes. Developed flavors that keep revealing themselves with each savored bite. We loved it so much, that I ordered more to bring home. We split that "baby beer"a "Pocket Pivo". Crisp, clean brew made locally, and highly recommended by the order taker, and cashier, Dylan. He and I played off each other very well, and he loved that I said, "YAY" to everything I loved. 🤣🤣🥰 Our server, Hope, suggested as first timers that we try the hummus. She couldn't have been more right about it. Hope also suggested that we pick something from the left column on the first page of the menu. We selected the Lahmachun with spicy beef. There was plenty to split between us. Again, another explosion in my mouth of earthy spicy, sweet, herby, coupled with that fabulous woodfired bread. Hope suggested that we splash the juice from the accompanying lemon wedge on the Lahmacun. It gives balance, and a slight acidity to the meat. Perfectly balanced. This food represents the best of Boznia, Turkey, Croatian, so many more cultures full developed by the Chef's traveling far, and wide to understand the cultures behind the foods. The restaurant offers meatless, and meat full choices to please all desires, and needs. Adding to the experience is the wonderful music, a combination of those cultures, that is piped through the restaurant. I cannot wait to come back here. ( The Balkan Treat Box started as a food truck, which is still in operation, and now boasts two brick and mortar locations, too.) It's the stuff dreams are made of to me. I would LOVE this type of restaurant in my area of Saratoga Springs,NY. 🥰“

“Amazing food - best Persian-style cuisine in STL so far and some of the best anywhere we've traveled. Saffron chicken kebab was beyond tender and so flavorful. Their version of biryani was delicious, too, and the gyro was solid. The sambosas were a great starter, and even the fries that came with the gyro were good. We'll be back to try more dishes soon!“

“Amazing food and excellent, attentive service. My new favorite place to visit.“
