I have visited this place multiple times, & I can confidently recommend it, especially if you are looking for an authentic Turkish tea experience. Their Turkish tea with baklava & künefe is absolutely worth trying. From the traditional songs playing in the background to the beautiful atmosphere, tablecloths, & classic Turkish teapots, every detail makes you feel like you have been transported to Turkey - almost as if you are walking along ?stiklal Street in Istanbul.

I had never tried the food at this restaurant before, but last night we decided to give it a chance & ordered mant?. It was such a delicious & interesting dish, with amazing flavors & a very unique taste. It was a great surprise & made the experience even better.

The combination of the cozy environment, Turkish hospitality, traditional decorations, & delicious desserts makes this place a wonderful spot to spend time with friends or family. Whether you come for tea & sweets or want to explore Turkish cuisine, this restaurant offers a memorable experience that brings a little piece of Turkey to the city.

First time trying what felt like authentic turkish food to me. The food was good, meat was flavourful, & portion size was good for the price. The ambience & atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. However, the server was a bit rude & passive aggressive to us. We asked to switch bulgur with rice, but apparently our instructions were not clear to her. When we pointed this out to her, she did not accept her mistake, but portrayed us to be at fault. She told us that she will bring us extra rice to make up for it, but again came back with extra bulgur😭😭? Like girl why? & she showed us a weird attitude on this. I do understand that working in hospitality is tough, but even if you are mad at me, at least do it discreetly lol. Told the owner but he was very nice & apologized for the mistake. Server ruined what could have been a good experience.
