Always love coming here. Food is amazing every single time!
We’ve eaten here 3 days in a row while on vacation. Every single time was incredible. Our first time we had salads, which are fresh and well seasoned. The second time we tried lamb and chicken, which was just as good. Our servers were friendly and responsive every time. The third time, we came with a larger group on a busy night, but the service was still fast and friendly. Would highly recommend!!
I ordered the lamb chops with some sides for myself and lamb kabobs for a friend. I thought the lamb chops seemed a little undercooked, but I did order between medium well and medium rare and thought maybe it was just more on the rare side. The meat did not seem fully cooked, and did not have any kind of char or grill marks for an outer sear and was a little soft and mushy all around but NOT in a tender or melt in your mouth kind of way.
I ended up not having much of an appetite after finishing the lamb chops, and did not have my lentil soup or baklava. Later that night I awoke to one of the most painful and intense food poisoning experiences I’ve ever had. If I thought I could safely drive I would have tried to take myself to an urgent care. I spent hours in the restroom unable to do anything other than stay kneeled on the floor retching to the point of dry heaving. I don’t think I an ever eat at this location again, and the experience was so awful I’d honestly just recommend going to eat somewhere else. Everything was mediocre at best, got me violently sick, and the rice and veggies were so plain and unseasoned they were unappetizing.
Had a really nice lunch, the service was perfect. I will probably try something different next time but I will definitely be back and highly recommend others done here

I’ve been to this restaurant a few times already, and I always gladly come back. It’s such a cozy spot with really nice staff and remarkable hospitality. The food is always perfect—I love Mediterranean Turkish cuisine, and I can confidently say it’s pretty authentic.? All my recommendations for this place!

For the most part, Excellent food; though occasionally the chicken will be dry. Grapes leaves and eggplant are to die for. Dining in may be cramped and chairs uncomfortable but this is forgotten once the food arrives.
Parking: Essentially impossible to find street parking if you are going to dine in. Consider take-out.

These guys do tip-baiting with their delivery drivers. Very shady. They were ordering Lizard bedding, too. Which is weird. Why is a restaurant ordering lizard bedding to their space?
Had a great dinner sitting on the outside balcony. Highly recommend!

Went here with a group of friends from work. The service was exceptional. My friends never had Turkish food, and they seem to have enjoyed the food and found it fulfilling. The only reason why I’m giving it a 4 and not a 5 is due to the price being higher than the portions that were served.

Used to love coming here but seems to have gone down hill in the past year. $23 for one skewer of dry , unseasoned chicken with barely any salad, rice , or vegetables is a scam. Hopefully they can start giving better portions.

amazing, authentic food and extremely friendly service! we traveled to pittsburgh from new england and we were very hungry after a long day of traveling - this meal was so worth it.
Stopped here with a friend for a light dinner. Completely forgot to take pictures, sorry. Cute little building, lovely outdoor seating area. Waiters were attentive and kind. Hummus was standard their bread was actually a fluffier thicker bread instead of a thin pita which was a nice change of pace. Stuffed rape leaves were okay (I don't know that I've ever had an amazing grape leaf anywhere so I don't really know the standard)
The Shepherd salad has no greens in it, just cucumber tomato onion and seasoning. I had the cheese added to that and chicken kabob which really improved it. My friend had the Pasha garden salad which was a lot of greens. (We actually swapped a bit of each salad with each other to enhance them) A chicken kabob was so good so I would go back here again and try a hardier meal, or if the timing was right I totally try breakfast there.
