Small town vibe, authentic food. Food was great except fried calamari that was one of the worst I've ever had. Cigar, babaganoush, adoner, and doner, and sides/sauces that came with them all on point. Calamari on the other hand. Wow never had such dry, rubbery, and overcooked calamari. Did tell waiter at some point but he didn't do anything about it (would've just wanted an acknowledgement anyway).

5 stars, but parking is a nightmare! When I eat at places like this I often compare them to their country of origin. This place is quite close to eating in Turkey. The cold sampler plate will give you a good representation of many dishes, and they were all very good. The combo plates are plentiful, full of flavor, and the meat is well cooked. The cigars are good, but I’ve never seen anything like that in Turkey. They keep the black tea flowing, and no, you don’t need sugar....

Wow, some of the most delicious Turkish food I’ve ever had. The kababs were exactly like the ones form turkey, every dish had so much flavor. Service is excellent and the restaurant has a gorgeous river view, can’t wait to be back
