Nazar Turkish Restaurant & Market

my recent experience at your restaurant, which, unfortunately, was quite disappointing.

From the moment I arrived, the attitude of the cashier was unacceptable and left me feeling unwelcome. When I finally received my food, it was served cold, which was very frustrating. I brought this to the attention of the staff, but rather than addressing the issue professionally, they responded with an attitude problem.

Given this experience, I would not recommend your restaurant to anyone. It's genuinely disheartening to spend money and time on a meal that doesn’t meet basic standards of service and quality.

Love this place. The Ayran doogh, the mezze dip platter and their fresh bread are so delicious. Staff is hardworking and kind. Clean atmosphere. I love the lebne dip, babaganoush, Esme salad, and eggplant dip platter that comes with their fresh bread. The kebabs are also good. Highly recommend this place!

This place was one of my most favorite to get Turkish food from. Over the years, the portions have changed and are so small. Also the food quality isn’t the same. I love visiting once in a while to get some Turkish snacks and sweets which are awesome. Do give it a try if you’re in the area and crave some delicious Turkish food.

I came to Nazar hoping for a solid Turkish meal and was pleasantly surprised by the Adana kebabs which were juicy, well-seasoned, and grilled to perfection. They had that smoky char you want, and the spice level was just right, bringing out the richness of the meat without overpowering it.

But then came the rice.

Unfortunately, the rice was a complete letdown. Mushy, flavorless, and oddly textured. Like it had been sitting around for hours. It didn’t complement the kebab at all, and honestly, I couldn’t even finish it. For a dish that's usually such a staple, it really dragged the plate down.

Overall: Great kebabs, but Nazar really needs to step up their rice game.

The problem is the nasty lady behind the counter. She’s rude and has no customer service skills at all.

The Adana kebab and long brown kebab with brown rice and mixed appetizer on the side is super good. Tried mixed grill but no flavor in lamb chop. Sometimes they have menu items for one day only that’s very delicious but never see it again sadly.
The staff is usually very busy so don’t have the nicest attitude and wait time can be pretty long. If you go late even if there’s still time before closing they won’t let you sit and eat.
Make sure you check and get the right rice packed, sometimes they’re confused and give you wrong one.
