The food was excellent and so was the service. I will be sure to go there anytime I'm in this area. The babaganous was different from what I usually have had,but was okay. That was the only thing I would rate as just okay. Everything else was excellent!

Lovely little place with outdoor seating alongside the river. Turkish music being piped softly overhead. Nice ambiance generally. Issue was with the food. I ordered kofte, well done. It arrived pink inside. I returned it asking for it to be cooked longer. It came out only slightly less pink but still pink. I ate one small piece out of 4 and took rest home to cook myself. The bulgur was flavorful as was the beet salad, but portions were quite small for price. My husband ordered...

The food is extremely good and I can’t provide any negative comment surrounding taste. However, the service is extremely slow. I’ve been here a few times now and the main dishes take on average 40-45 minutes to reach the table. The restaurant seems to be entirely staffed, so I am not sure where the issues stem from regarding timing.
