I've tried many dishes there, but some were disappointing. The staff were friendly, especially Asel, who really enhanced the welcoming atmosphere. I've just learned she won't be working there anymore, & now I don't see much reason to return.
Food was good but not enough meat on their main courses. You only get one kafta kebab when your order a plate. Also turkish food usually comes with Bulgar wheat not rice with chick peas. Overall very good but at this price point you need to give clients for meat. Thank you!
Simple, tasty, & small cozy restaurant that serves authentic Turkish dishes. We ordered: beef Gözleme, Sadj Lamb, Avesta salad & the best of the best, Manti. All super fresh & served very quickly. We ended the night with an authentic Turkish tea. I would definitely come back to try other dishes.
Première visite.Je suis complètement séduit. J'ai mangé le Mati, un genre de ravioli au beauf traditionnel avec sauce yogourt. Pain fait à l'ordre & thé turque. J'ajoute cette adresse dans ma loop. Merci Khadija 11/10 pour le service impeccable & amical.🫶
If you're familiar with Turkish cuisine & have a strong craving for it, it's best to avoid this place because they serve a modified version of Turkish food. I ordered an iskender which is my favorite & I barely recognized the dish when it was served. The meat was thick & firm, there's salad next to it which has no business being there, no grilled tomato & chili, & no trace of butter. Dare I say that it's the worst iskender I had so far. It's much more disappointing because the waiter told us that their chef is Turkish. Aside from that, this place is quite overpriced & you're definitely not getting your money's worth. Great location, ambiance, & okay servers but the food missed the mark big time. Take some time to see the reviews from Turkish people who have been here.
