That atmosphere overall was great. Customer service was great. Everyone there seemed very nice. Location was easily accessible to stop in and go. Worth checking out if you are in the area.“

“Burası adeta gizli bir mücevher! Bu restoranı bilen ve burada yemek yeme şansı yakalamış insanlar gerçekten çok şanslı. Her şey inanılmaz lezzetliydi! Özellikle ahtapot o kadar yumuşak ve lezzetliydi ki hayatımda yediğim en iyi ahtapot olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Ayrıca patlıcanlı karides güveç tam anlamıyla nefisti. Kalamar, girit ezme, ege güzeli, eksi mayalı istavrit tek kelimeyle muhteşemdi! Restoranın sahibi ve çalışanları ise gerçekten çok sıcak ve misafirperver. Kapıda sizi güler yüzle karşılıyorlar ve yemeğinizin sonunda sizi yine aynı samimiyetle uğurluyorlar. Böyle bir deneyim çok nadir bulunur. Kesinlikle herkese tavsiye ediyorum! Bu restoran, hem lezzet hem de atmosfer açısından unutulmaz bir deneyim sunuyor.“

“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.“

“I ordered tray of Konafa with Keshta and was delicious. I recommend this انا طلبت صينية كنافه بالقشطه وكانت طعمه جدا.“

“So good and fresh, very tasty, clean place The rice is buenisimo“

“Went in late and felt so bad about coming so close to their closing time and Cris and Sandra were so kind to cook up Falafel and hook me up with my late dinner. I was having such a bad day and they were so kind and made my night!!! Shout out to them, they deserve a raise. Truly exceptional service and food 10/10 recommend.“

“I'm so glad I finally decided to come and try this restaurant.
The staff and the owner were the absolute sweetest and kindest, I felt right at home as if they were my uncles and brothers. The owner made me get free rice pudding on the house and I got to try their lentil soup as well, which was very cozy.

The owner let me try the hummus and as someone who is picky about hummus, their's had such a nice zing to it. It was thick and smooth, coated my mouth and gone in seconds.

As for the shawarma, it was amazing. I got the chicken to eat there but got a mixed platter to go. Every single item in the mixed grill was phenomenal. The beef kofta was great too. I loved the char on my chicken shawarma more though. You can't go wrong with any choices here.

The rice needs to have its own paragraph however. The owner asked which rice I would like to try as they have two kinds: Yellow rice or lentil rice. I asked for both and was blown away by both. I could not choose which one was better because both were that amazing.
The salad was great too. Perfect pickles and fresh lettuce.

I will say my only feedback is the food did start tasting a bit too salty as you keep eating. So make sure to have water or a drink to help cut through the build up of saltiness. Or maybe I came on a day where all the food tasted a bit more on the salty side, not sure.

All in all, I'm glad I finally chose to go here. This is a spot that you can never go wrong eating in. It's fantastic and dare I say, the best shawarma and Egyptian food I ever had!“

“Great food, very good service with a smile 😃“

“Let me tell you about this little Turkish spot in Westwood...

First off, I drove from Southern Bergen to come here. THATS how good the food is!

Not to mention, the owner is hilarious and will roast you if given the opportunity!“

“I tried it and the food is exquisite, I recommend it 100% ✌️🥰“

“Our group of two couples were astounded by a lemon pizza special shared by the table as an appetizer. The unique idea of lemon on pizza seemed unnatural but was literally astounding. I couldn't believe how delicious it was with an undercurrent of salt punctuating the white pizza. A ceviche special was equally mind numbing in its tastiness. The paella was perfect. We had no room for dessert but will be back“

“Such a great space and the servers are so dialed in.
My wife and I went back for the 3rd or 4th time last night and we had such a lovely time. The drinks came out so quickly and the hostess was very sweet and gave us a very personal compliment.
I did the pasta w filet and my wife had the ny strip. We did crab cocktails and blue point oysters. Martinis, old fashioned’s, gelato and sorbet finished off with espresso martinis. No complaints. The staff handled the busy Saturday evening w no issues. Will return again and its great for groups.“

“My kids and I love this place and keep going back. The food is consistently great and the staff is always so nice, patient, accommodating and helpful.“

“Jap konsideraten dhe rekomandimin me te larte per Nana’s Kitchen ne adresen 1809 Hone ave, Bronx NY per varietete e shumllojshme te ushqimeve tradicionale Shqiptare, per te cilat une se bashku me nje grup shokesh prej 15 vetash shijuam fundjaven e shkuar. Gjeta pas 23 vjetesh ku pergatisin ushqimin ne taven e balte, e po ashtu provuam mish qengji te pjekur, pace, qofte te zgares, sallate fshati e buken qe ne shqiptaret e duam shume qe e pergatisnin vete si dhe u embelsuam me bakllavane plot shije. Sherbimi ishte shembullor dhe lokali ishte i dekoruar me shije duke ruajtur traditen Shqiptare. Falenderojme pronarin Landi Kodra per kenaqesine qe na dha per disa ore ne restorantin e tij. Se shpejti TV Alba Life do te sjelle edhe nje kronike me te plote rreth ketij restorani dhe pershtypjet edhe te klienteve te tjere.“
