This place is surely one of the best place to eat in the area. Whenever I go there I am incredibly glad. They hold their very high standard service and the highest level of dishes they provide. You will be always satisfied with this restaurant. Very recommended.

Was really excited about this restaurant as my husband is Turkish. However, I ordered last Sunday and never got my meal. They appear to be closed, but my payment still went through. I haven't been able to get in touch with them. Please don't order from this restaurant!!!

I paid 60 bucks for this meal and not able to get in touch with anyone from thr restaurant. they basically stole my money. was very excited for a Turkish restaurant around the cormer as my husband is Turkish, but will not go here once it reopens because i dont trust them.

I came in for lunch around 12ish, there was no one in the restaurant, I was a little nervous, but once I smelled the food and noticed some of the desserts I was sold, had the kofte wrap and Turkish yougurt soup.I definitely will be back for lunch, the lady working at the counter was very nice as well!

Seems like a new addition to Court Street, right across Trader Joe's. Their outside sandwich board sign said "eggplant casserole". I did some shopping, got goodies from Damascus Bakery and then returned to Sumela To Go. I asked if they still had the eggplant casserole and if there was meat in it. Woman said yes - lamb. I wanted something either vegan or vegetarian. So my spouse and I, being hungry for a midday meal, opted for two orders of Kuru Fasulye (white beans and rice). Buyer beware: Here is what we got for $12.99: 1. We didn't buy any bottle, can of water or soda, etc. We sat at a table. Surprised they didn't offer glasses of water. Most places just do so. 2. The plate came with small mound of rice (I believe it was less than the amount in a small chinese takeout container of rice. 3. The amount of beans was about two ladle scoops worth. 4. A small amount of salad (like half a cup). 5. A small mini cup of yogurt and mint (about 2 tablespoons). 6. 3 mini (really mini) triangles of pita. Imagine smaller than a single Doritos chip, less than ¼ of a real pita (I put all 3 pieces together to see). 7. A mini garnish plate of a few pieces of pickled vegetables for two people. 8. A mini garnish of dry hot pepper flakes. Overall rating: Chintzy and cheap. The beans were not anything special, sort of bland. Honestly, a plate of rice and beans with the few dashes of salad, yogurt and pitas was pretty disappointing for $13 dollars. The internal décor was nice. But we won't be going back. Perhaps that was why the place was empty on a Sunday afternoon.

Thid place is closed. Really sad to see inaccurate information on their website.

Don't waste your time coming here. The food is less than desirable and the service is worst. Prices are very high, especially considering the quality of the food.

I ordered the chicken gyro platter, its usually good, this ones taste wasn't the same as the others, nonetheless I finished my meal, BAD idea within 30 minutes my stomach was hurting alot and straight to the bathroom I go, next time if you feel something wrong just throw it out.

I celebrated my graduation this evening in this great restaurant. Well we passed a sensational evening and the venue was surely one of the reasons for this happy celebration. The waiters helped in a gorgeous style, the cooking was very good and my guests were so cheerful. We shall definitely return for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Excellent, delicious food! Clean environment. Best of all its Halal.
High quality delicious Turkish food! Really fresh ingredients. I loved the chicken soup and the chicken Adana wrap. Wrap was grilled to perfection. Great portion sizes. Highly recommend for delivery or takeout! Delivery came in less than 20 minutes.

One can only expect a chicken gyro to come on a pita, right? Well that's what I ordered but definitely not what I got. I got more like a burrito with chicken in it. For such a simple order on my first try of Sumela, I was disappointed and won't be back. Ordered a chicken Gyro with white sauce and onions only to get a Gyro with sautéed yellow onions no white sauce and on a wrap instead of in a traditional Pita as they normally come. Had a few bites and just tossed the rest very disappointed.

Finally. We have an actual gyro in the neighborhood. There are a lot of places that claim to serve gyros, but this is what I'm talking about. Sumela has the thin slices of browned, tasty meat carved off straight off a spit. So flavorful. So good. The rice, babaghanouj, and bread are all excellent as well, but I would recommend getting the salad with your meal, otherwise it seems like you've got a gigantic container of meat. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, unless you don't want heart disease. While the lunch special is still pretty pricey, it's nice that the "small" is plenty of food for anyone at lunch. I will be eating here embarrassingly often.
