Overall, my experience at the restaurant was quite pleasant, thanks to the delicious food and cozy atmosphere. The dishes were a true delight, filled with a variety of flavors and aromas that transported us straight to Turkey. However, unfortunately, the interaction with the waitress dampened the evening. She did not show the proper attention or friendliness, making us feel unwelcome. It was especially uncomfortable when she brought the bill and emphasized the tip percentage, even though it was already included in the total. This left a bitter aftertaste, despite the excellent food and ambiance. I hope the restaurant will focus more on customer service in the future.

We love this restaurant for eat -in but please be more careful what you send for delivery. No more ordering online from here.
Eggplant with sauce was terrible , bitter! Too much oil and tomato paste! Liver was totally disappointing - over cooked almost burned.

Very every Nice. Welcoming staff and the food was amazing.
We were recommended this place and had heard several people telling us how great it was. I'm not sure what dish may be remarkable for a return but we were not impressed. My partners Turkish and we eat at the many Turkish restaurants throughout North Jersey and NYC and have had our obvious fair share of delicious experiences in Istanbul. I thought it was cute inside and expected wonderful food to follow but it was subpar and unremarkable. I didn't even photograph my food to share it. We came here after a dr. appt that had me not eat for hours. I was starving! I couldn't wait to eat my favorite dish, Adana Kebab. We ordered a shepherd salad to start and also a chicken shish. The adana lacked so much flavor I didn't finish it. It was actually disappointing and also bordering dryness. The chicken shish was also overcooked. Very disappointing meal.

Went for the Kuzu Tandir, had it here before a few years back and loved it, but of course they weren't serving it this night. Not really sure why, I guess they didn't feel like mincing the lamb or maybe they ran out of eggplant, either way, that was disappointing.
That being said, I ordered some other things, like the mixed grill and bronzini, and they were very delicious, the fried liver being the highlight. Though disappointed about the Kuzu, the food is still very much delicious here, even if the service left a lot to be desired.
Since it was close to my house, I gave it a chance several times at different times. I decided at every opportunity not to come again. The quality and taste of the food is well below average. The tea is stale, the bread is stale, the products on the breakfast plate are chosen of the worst quality and cheapest, the cheeses are sliced thinly and distributed inadequately. We asked for a pinch of parsley and a slice of lemon and said they would add an extra $15. greens need to be presented already on the breakfast plate. It is impossible to see the waiters while sitting at the table. Probably because no one wants to tip this bad management, they apply 18% tip to all customers on the bill. We will never come again.
Not welcoming. Bizarrely bad service.. staff is confused about who does what. They offer $8 regular drip coffee, without free refills. Being a money laundering operation is fine, but, that location deserves a better restaurant.
Parking: Parking lot has four spaces.
