Absolutely amazing meal! I would highly recommend for authentic Turkish cuisine and a great atmosphere. Sercan was our server. My fiance and I cannot wait to come back again. We had the rack of lamb and filet kabob as our entrees and the zucchini pancakes and babaganoosh as our appetizers. Cannot recommend enough.

We had such a great experience at this Turkish restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with a really nice vibe that made us feel comfortable and relaxed.

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a wonderful experience on Valentine day and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! 💕

We had a private party at Hunkars in the back room, and had exceptional service and delicious food! Our server helped us from the beginning, with setting up our decorations to the end with a special happy birthday sparkler - thank you Hunkars!
