Absolutely loved the food! This is a great date night place, offering a break from the Tex Mex and burger joint options so common around here. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered, including Turkish red wine, feta cheese appetizer, and falafel. Service was quick, friendly, and our waitress made good recommendations off the menu.

Aan out of the way Eastern Mediterranean, Turkish, restaurant that was a pleasant surprise. The food is excellent with a lot of attention to how the flavors combine. The feta roll sharpness is perfectly tempered with the tzatziki sauce. Hint, ask for a bit extra, the rolls are made from really strong feta cheese. But they are incredible. We also had hummus and tabouli as appetizers. The hummus is a bit different than the typical Greek. It is a bit smoother both in texture and flavor. As a cute touch there are a few garbanzo beans on top. There was absolutely no aftertaste, which was incredible. It is definitely made fresh.The tabouli was also near perfect. It was loaded with parsley but a bit bland for me. The lemon slice that was on top added the tartness that I love but which might be a bit too much for some. One suggestion to the restaurant, the lemon wedge is a bit too big to squeeze, you might want to cut it to make aqueezing easier.Our main dish was the lamb kabobs. Perfect. We dove in to them before I could take a picture.The restaurant is a bit more elegant than the outside would suggest. It was a pleasant surprise to be able to sit and enjoy a non rushed meal. Still jeans and a tee-shirt atmosphere but a far cry from fast food.In short, we loved it and will be going back.

Absolutely amazing! I got the Lamb Shish and my husband got the Beef Sauté and both were perfect! The ambiance and service were amazing too. We will definitely be back soon and often. Oh and try the baclava! Delicious!

My goodness so much fun. It's not just lunch it's an experience! I had the Babaganoush, the Special salad with chicken, and the Kunefe (please forgive any misspellings). Everything was expertly prepared, the Babaganoush was creamy with eggplant you could see in it, and a perfect splash of olive oil. They brought out "a little bread" which looked obviously fresh made, with the oven brown spots on the bottom that we all love. The chicken was delicious in a fun salad tossed with raisins, spinach, cucumber, tomato, carrot and a sweet vinegar dressing. I polished it off with a dessert, kunefe, which I have had before at a food festival. This one was made with mozzarella, surrounded by a crunchy shredded wheat, topped with chopped walnuts, and swimming delightfully in a sweet but light syrup. Yum! When I was done with my coffee, the waitress showed me how to traditionally turn over my turkish coffee and wait until it was cold. Then lift up the cup, take a picture and send it to the oracles using an app (convenient) called Falaaddin. How cute, and fun! The atmosphere is very tastefully done, with table cloths and classy decore, although I felt comfortable wearing casual clothes for lunch. They have outside patio tables under a pretty flower overhang. Highly recommend!Like food? I am a top 10% reviewer for Google maps, with over 28 million views by customers.

This place is absolutely fantastic! We visited on a busy Wednesday night, everything was simply perfect - the food, ambiance, and Turkish music. Despite the crowd, our waitress Duygo took exceptional care of us. She provided us with wonderful recommendations and attentively checked on us, even though she was the only staff member working at the time. We appreciate how she managed the busy crowd single-handedly while delivering exceptional service. We will definitely return and ask for her outstanding service! Thank you, Duygo.

If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food this is your place. I had the tabouli as an appetizer and it was the best I've ever had (I'm a tabouli connoisseur).
