“Delicious food and amazing service. Can’t beat the lunch special. Excellent!“

“Consistently quality, with outstanding flavor. Honest, authentic dishes, and delicious desserts. BYOB.“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Yemeni Restaurant hit all the right spots — full 5 stars! The food was outstanding: tender, perfectly spiced mandi chicken, rich saltah stew, fresh haneeth lamb, and the best honey-drizzled malawah bread. Everything tasted homemade and full of flavor.
Service was warm and quick — friendly staff who explained the dishes and kept everything flowing smoothly. Atmosphere is cozy and casual: simple décor with welcoming vibes, great for a relaxed meal.
Perfect authentic Yemeni spot — great value and generous portions. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Middle Eastern comfort food in the city!“

“Stumbled into this place this afternoon and had easily one of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had. I can’t believe how delish the chicken schnitzel was and I’ve walked by this place so many times. Such a cute spot and the food really was that good.“

“We’ve been loyal takeout customers for a long time, but dining in at Cinar was a completely different experience—in the best way. The atmosphere is refined and inviting, the service was attentive and professional, and the food was genuinely exceptional. A flawless 5-star experience across the board. We will absolutely be returning to dine in again and again.“

“Very tasty food, great service, cozy atmosphere.
It's BYOB but the waitress (Elif i think) made sure to bring all we needed for the wine and checked on us multiple times throughout the night to make sure we were good.
A great representation of Mediterranean food.
Will definitely be back!“

“We either ordered the wrong things or it was an off night for this restaurant because our experience was nothing like what other reviewers say. Restaurant was so noisy that we had to shout to our table companions all evening. The imam bayaldi was oversalted and underflavored and pine nuts doled out as if they were diamonds. The shrimp was hard, dry, overcooked, oversalted and flavorless sitting on a bed of gloppy watery tomatoes. Half the lamb kabobs were ok and half were nothing but gristle. Servers were very pleasant, and helpful with wine selection but the wait for our dishes seemed interminable. What was good -- very good --the rice with the lamb kabobs, the rice pudding and the coffee. But too much money for bad (sorry, but that's what it was) food. As I said, maybe we ordered the wrong dishes or maybe it was just an off night.“

“very fast customer service“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing meal! I would highly recommend for authentic Turkish cuisine and a great atmosphere. Sercan was our server. My fiance and I cannot wait to come back again. We had the rack of lamb and filet kabob as our entrees and the zucchini pancakes and babaganoosh as our appetizers. Cannot recommend enough.“

Not to mention, the owner is hilarious and will roast you if given the opportunity!“

“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.“

“Our group of two couples were astounded by a lemon pizza special shared by the table as an appetizer. The unique idea of lemon on pizza seemed unnatural but was literally astounding. I couldn't believe how delicious it was with an undercurrent of salt punctuating the white pizza. A ceviche special was equally mind numbing in its tastiness. The paella was perfect. We had no room for dessert but will be back“
