El Turco Grill is a Turkish restaurant known for its delicious and tasty food. The meat is of high quality, and the food is both flavorful and healthy. Popular dishes include the chicken kebab, lentil soup, and the recommended desserts kazandibi and trilece. The restaurant is spotless, and the food is fresh, high-quality, and delicately seasoned, evoking the warmth of a home-cooked meal. Portions are generous for the price, and the service is genuinely excellent. The Menemen (eggs with veggies) are amazing, the mix appetizers are refreshing, and the flat breads are super soft and fresh. The atmosphere is just right for a great meal, with a calm and cozy vibe. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant offers a delightful experience with great taste, warm hospitality, and a relaxing environment.
The restaurant serves tender meats made in the grill, perfectly seasoned, called kebah. The mixed grill for one person is recommended, and there are options for two persons as well. The Turkish coffee is bold, small in a small cup, but just right. For a family meal, the chicken kebah is enjoyed, and many customers plan to return. The tables are elegant and clean, adding to the pleasant dining experience.
El Turco Grill also offers takeout, with well-packaged meals that taste fresh and restaurant-quality. The baba ghanoush is seasoned, textured, and slightly smokey—an eggplant dip that is a definite favorite. Chicken adana, shaped like elongated loaves of spiced ground chicken, is a house favorite and pairs well with rice and yogurt sauce. The entrees come with grilled tomato and pepper, still warm and slightly charred, along with small side salads with lightly dressed greens. Many appreciate the extra vegetables, but the warm, soft pita rounds are often the preferred choice. Overall, El Turco Grill provides a reliable, affordable, and enjoyable Turkish dining experience in a cozy and inviting setting.
