Very nice place. We drove about 90 minutes to get there. Food was very good. My only problem was the greeter. We arrived at 4:40pm and the lady said that we needed to be done with our meal before 6pm. I felt like we were being hurried to order. They never even mentioned if we wanted anything else after our meal. I would have given them Four stars just for the food alone. But feeling like we needed to order and eat quickly was a disappointment.

This was the best Turkish restaurant I have ever been to. They had wonderful service, who work really hard and are the best waiters! The general atmosphere was also really nice, everyone was happy and enjoying the experience. The food was also the best I have ever had. Other restaurants in the area cannot beat this. I will be coming back, this was a memorable experience!

Ok: eggplant saladMeh: lamb chop, namli special begendi*Pass: falafel, pitaPretty disappointing based on taste. Really quite disappointing after considering the prices and that the restaurant is so pretty.Lamb chop was terribly bland. Really needed some salt and other seasoning but had a decent grill char.The lamb in the namli special begendi was extremely tough and dry, on the level of being difficult to chew. However the cheesy eggplant mash it came with was lovely. The dish was said online that it came with a side of starch (bulgar) but i don't know if the description was wrong or if the staff forgot it.Falafel was terribly dry. Pita was ice cold and crumbly.Eggplant salad was fine. Lightly acidic and nice.I want to say that we'll be back to try other dishes but at both this price point and level of disappointment, I'm not sure we will.

I grew up eating Syrian/Lebanese, middle eastern food, and I've eaten at many middle eastern restaurants, and I have no reservations giving Namli a solid 5 stars. The food was as good as Mom made for the familiar dishes like the cabbage rolls and Tabouli. However Namli has a secret sauce that's amazing (apparently a closely guarded secret), that great on everything; I especially enjoyed just putting it on the Pita bread. Since the sauce is served with the bread and appetizers, I made the mistake of eating way too much bread! The best is yet to come, the Namil Salad with cucumber, pomegranate, walnuts, tomatoes and I don't know what else, was AMAZING! I also tried the ADANA Kebab that my friend ordered, very nice for sure. On top of the great food, the people that waited on us were very nice and welcoming. I'm sure their food is made using family recipes. When I am in the neighborhood again, I'll be back.
Food is excellent but we felt extremely rushed. We constantly had someone wanting to take away our plates when we were still eating. The other lady who is a young girl whose at the counter came and without even asking started clearing our table and food. The most annoying thing there and I hope they work on it and when we told her we were still eating she said you should have told me when I cleared . But we'll she never asked in the first place.

[email protected] atmosphere, cordial & welcoming. Clean, bright & refreshing. Generous & varied menu. (NO pork!) Questions are welcomed & polite assistance. You are in for the treat of your life. Every menu item was phenomenal. (OH, BYOB!) Minced lamb was my favorite with flavorful tender rice & choice of the freshest salads. Delicious selection of desserts. Fresh made bread. Truly the BEST of EVERYTHING! LOVE,LOVE,LOVE NAMLI! YOU MUST GO!

This was my 1st time picking up food from here and definitely my last. For example, one dish we ordered was 19.99 on their website, it was a very very very small portion, and realized was rung in at 29.99 on the receipt. Frankly it was gross and also had almost no meat in it. It was a dough based 30 dollar entree but was hardly even the size of an appetizer. None of this is fine dining food, extremely far from it. Everything else was upped couple extra bucks casually playing with prices and changing all their actual menu prices from their own website which just added up in a dishonest way. I called and asked why and didn't get the best explanation. However, what I paid close to a hundred bucks for should have been more like 60 according to your own website. Everything being 30+ bucks over what it was supposed to be and the tiny 30 dollar entree being so expensive in a place thats diner quality just felt so sleazy. Half the food went in the trash. Don't eat here. Go to efes or Evelyn's at least their prices match their website. I see all the locals and guys sitting in there stuffing their face with pita with the guts who all look like they're pregnant who probably think their so amazing for supporting local but this is just a hoodrat spot in a brunswick neighborhood. If I had Doordashed or ubereats this meal instead it would have been well over a 100 dollars for sure. No one should f*** with this place. They're raping people for diner quality food. And once I was done eating their food I had to lay in the fetal position for a half an hour because I felt like my stomach was bubbling.

Actually, it wasn't that bad, except that when you pay the bill, it is forced to add up to 18% without asking you. When I told the lady that I did not want to give medical advice, she replied, "You know, there is a medical practice in America." They misunderstood the situation. If I am satisfied, I will leave a note thanking you for your satisfaction.
