This is the best restaurant in NJ for Mediterranean food and specially Turkish food. The kebabs and iskembe corbasi were excellent. Our server Dilan was excellent! She has a charm and very good understanding of serving. I will recommend without hesitance. She made us to have a very good experience💕

I’ve tried their crispy lahmacun and cold appetizers twice so far and really enjoyed it! 🤤 Looking forward to trying some other options in the future. The setting is spacious, quiet, and accessible for any group. Sharing some updated menu pics as I noticed their prices have changed compared to what appears in other reviews.
