“My eggplant dish was described as more of a vegetarian dish (which I'm not, but I was just trying to go meat-free today).”
“A nice sauce to go with these would have been good but if you know Turkish food then you realize it's not about spices lol.”
“For our entrees, my wife ordered the avocado salad with grilled chicken and I ordered the Karasik Izgara, which is a mixed grill.”

Came here for lunch, as I was in the area and was encouraged by the positive Yelp reviews I saw. The restaurant wasn't that crowded, but it was a about 1:30ish on a weekday.
I was going to order take-out, but then changed my mind and decided to stay. Note that the take-out menus are incorrect: the lunch special is $11, not $10. For what you get, the price is good and I have no complaints; I get it, menus can be expensive to print. But a little warning would be nice before paying.
I ordered the chopped salad, grilled eggplant, and lamb. Note that the menu offers you salad *OR* soup. I thought it was both, and I ordered the chopped salad and the red lentil soup, and the waitress said nothing and just brought me the salad. When I asked at the end of the meal if I was going to get the soup, that's when I realized I had missed out on the key word "or" on the menu. Once again, I kinda wish someone had said something while I was ordering.
The chopped salad is actually really good. Whatever seasoning/dressing they use is perfectly light and works wonderfully with the tomatoes and cucumber. And I like that there isn't cheese. As a non-cheese eater, nothing is more annoying to me than when people ruin a great salad by throwing in random cheese bits.
The bread at the table was also good, and I loved the smokey red pepper paste that was served alongside it. (Clearly I don't often eat Turkish food, so I don't know what this is called, but I really enjoyed it.)
The lamb was slightly uncooked (some pinkish bits), but well seasoned, and went well with the buttery, salty rice and the soft grilled eggplant (which I loved). There was so much food, I ended up packing up most of it to take home. It served as my dinner that night.
Service is fairly quick and friendly, although they won't correct you or inform you about things that they probably should mention (see above).
I wouldn't go out of my way to return, but I wouldn't mind coming back. I will say though that I tried Cinar, the Turkish restaurant down the road, a couple days later and definitely thought it was better than this place (although their chopped salad has random bits of cheese, booo).
I've eaten in this restaurant on two occasions both for lunch, and have also ordered delivery from this restaurant twice for dinner.
The restaurant is decorated beautifully. The first time I went there I was pregnant and the food was delicious and the restaurant was warm and relaxing. I recently went again and the waiters were very helpful carrying my daughters stroller into the restaurant.
The delivery came rather quickly, and was just as delicious as it was in the restaurant. The first time I ordered they even threw in a rice pudding for my husband and myself which was wonderful. I'm definite going to be frequenting this restaurant again.
Menu items I really enjoy are the hummus, Shepard salad with feta cheese, and the Adana kabobs. I can't wait to sample more items. The rice pudding is also a tempting delight.
Remember it's also BYOB!!!
Food is still great but service was frustrating and beyond slow. Very disappointed by the inconsistency in this most recent visit.
Pretty good Turkish restaurant. If you are a fan of Turkish food then you would more than likely enjoy this place. Just walking through the doors and embracing the vibe of this restaurant feels nice. It is pretty spacious, the decor is nice from wall to wall. They have TVs that are constantly showing beautiful pictures from all around Turkey, which it is easy to get lost in. Lamps all around from Turkey, always a welcomed sight 🙂
Service was great. The waitresses were quite attentive and great with making suggestions.
They have a good drink menu, they even serve Raki( Turkey's national alcoholic beverage, Yea they got one).
On to the food
The Calamari was good, I would liked for it to have been a bit more crunchy, still tasted good.
Chef salad was huge and packed with flavor
Doner Kabobs were pretty good but I felt that the amount of food on the plate doesn't justify its price. A nice sauce to go with these would have been good but if you know Turkish food then you realize it's not about spices lol.
Ordered some dessert and Coffee. Gota say I loved the presentation of the food, but the Coffee takes the cake. Served in a nice Turkish coffee set, just reminded me of the alchemist( where they talk about the crystal tea set in egypt)
Great spot to just unwind in, not my first choice when it comes to food, but I wouldn't say no to coming back here :)(confusing cause it should be)
