Amazing fine dine Turkish Restaurant! It is a bit pricey but the food is delicious and the atmosphere is really lovely. Had an amazing experience and will go again!

I’ve had the pleasure of trying all three courses here—brunch, lunch, and dinner—and I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every meal. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service is impressively quick. Chef Zeki himself adds a personal touch with his warm and hospitable demeanor, which makes the experience even better. One standout for me is how perfectly they marinate their meat and poultry—every bite is flavorful and tender. And for dessert, their crusty kunefe paired with a cup of perfectly brewed tea is the ideal ending to any meal. It’s clear they pay attention to every detail, from the food to the hospitality, making it a place worth returning to again and again!

Efendi was fantastic! It was my first time and I am already contemplating what to get next. We had the adana Kabob which was delicious, the chicken breast kebob was amazing, the hummus was very tasty. For dessert we had the ice cream with baklava - their pistachio and cold baklava are wonderful. My honest review is 10/10, and that goes for everything we ate. I would highly recommend. The tea was also nice. The table next to us ordered lamb chops, which came out on a sizzler. It smelled so good, I will definitely be trying that next. The service was amazing, I believe our waiter's name was muhmad, he was extremely kind and hospitable. Overall an amazing experience!

I was finally able to try this place after passing by it all the time, it always smelt really good! Came with 6 people and got the platter and pide to share! The meats were soo juicy and flavorful and same with the sauces and rice. Loved every bite! Some of the meats were a little bit too salty (lamb chop) but most were cooked perfectly. I also got to try their pistachio baklava which was amazing, it wasn't too sweet and the pastry was fresh and crispy! I love that the atmosphere inside is really bright and lovely, a great place to introduce someone to turkish food!

The food is AMAZING! The atmosphere is nice and is kids friendly! When it’s crowded you may need to wait more than usual to ask for something you want. Overall we love it.

I've visited this place three times, and the food has always been excellent—especially the Ali Nazik, which I highly recommend! The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. However, the service could be improved, as we had to wait quite a while for the server, even to get our bill.

Had great food and dining experience. Service was a bit sub par with long time to get someone to take our order. And we weren't asked if we wanted to order dessert and asked if we wanted the bill. Hence the 4 star on that. But overall nice space and Turkish food! Pidet, Adana kabab are highly recommended. I'd go back.

Went here today as I've been craving some Turkish food. The atmosphere was nice and bright. And pretty spacious. Service was amazing and very friendly staff right when you enter. I only tried 1 dish the Iskender Kebab, with coffee,and tea. The meat was very tender and tasty. The yogurt and bread and salad were all great too.I would definitely come back here again when I get a chance to taste the rest of the menu.
