Easily my favorite place in Nutley now, I'll be back for more Turkish tea, a whole pot if can be—and to try their Kazandibi dessert. An amazing breakfast selection till noon & lunch menu after till 4PM. Looking forward to many more visits!

We were in the area to see Cherry Blossom Festival in the local park. We originally planned to eat at our favorite restaurant Istanbul in Clifton NJ. We got hungry and looked for close by Turkish restaurants, found this place. Absolutely loved the ambiance, food and the service. We are hooked for life. Try the Calamari for appetizer, lamb shish kababs for main entry. Food was authentic and cooked to perfection. We will be back.

Stumbled onto this delightful family owned Turkish restaurant. Very clean and inviting atmosphere. The staff is wonderful. I was transported back to Instanbul with one taste of the lentil soup, the hummus was fresh and delicious and the lamb chops were prepared to perfection.
