From the food to the intimate seating, the flavors were popping and a few things left me speechless - top of the list was the zucchini fritters which after one bite you can’t stop eating as they were moist, crunchy and bursting with love. The lamb chops were juicy and I could’ve eaten two plates of this - everything from the rice to the night cap of baklava was fabulous. Best baklava I’ve ever tasted so we had to order two plates - so good!!“

Overall, good food, nice place. Will be back.“

“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.“

“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 😃“

“Very nice place Delicious food“

“It’s amazing they have delicious dishes , clean space and nice stuff . My son love their kofta???“

“Incredible food, service and ambience. Great DJ and music too. Overall an amazing experience. Perfect for a night out with friends or a date night with your love.“

“Had a great dinner with friends. Great place to talk, drink and dine. Had a chance to meet and talk with the owner which was cool. If you drink wine, know that their wine list is very reasonably priced. We enjoyed the mushrooms, stuffed pompano pepper, roasted chicken with vegetables, the shaved fennel salad and the fries.“

“Great experience! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. A special shoutout to the host Soulaf she was absolutely amazing, so friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Her hospitality really made our visit even better. We’ll definitely be back! 😊🍽️“

“This is a wonderful, delicious restaurant with generous portions. The appetizers are great and the mains are excellent. I love their gyro meat, Shepard salad and assorted appetizer plate. If you enjoy Turkish food you can’t go wrong with this restaurant.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was good. Atmosphere was nice floors needed updating at the entrance. It was an automatic service charge fee on the check and we were only a party of two. Definitely a bit pricey.“
