Je m'attendais à une cuisine meilleure que ça. La soupe aux lentilles, je ne l'ai pas aimée du tout : elle était acide & on aurait dit qu'elle était faite à partir de conserves. J'en ai déjà mangé de bien meilleures dans des restaurants plus simples.
Les apéritifs aussi donnaient l'impression d'être faits à partir de conserves : assez acides & pas très savoureux.
Pour le plat principal, les Manti : la viande était un peu sèche & manquait de saveur. Par contre, le Gozleme était vraiment bonne. Le pain pita qu'ils font sur place, je l'ai trouvé un peu amer.
Bref, ça ne m'a pas vraiment impressionnée. On n'a pas été très satisfaits de la cuisine.

J'aime aller & essayer les restaurants turcs ici. Jusqu'à présent, je suis allée dans plusieurs restaurants & les plats étaient très délicieux, avec des prix raisonnables. Quand on entre à l'intérieur, l'ambiance & l'atmosphère donnent l'impression d'être dans un restaurant en Turquie. Il y a une grande variété de boissons & de plats au menu. Le pain est préparé frais. Je vous recommande absolument d'essayer. C'est un restaurant idéal pour les anniversaires & les rencontres entre amis.

A very nice restaurant with very helpful staff. Yesterday, we were 6 friends & we had a wonderful dinner. It was a bit crowded so that kinda normal if any service is postponed for a few minutes but this is not a problem at all. You can get a Turkish tea & enjoy your time beforehand as well. Thank you!

Delisicous Turkish food, with great service. We did a family style thing for a birthday (9 of us) & had a feast! The food is absolutely delicious, not a single thing was left uneaten. We were all impressed with the bread, which is made fresh on the spot by one of the employees who makes them at the storefront. Can't go wrong with any of the köfte or manti. The pepper spread was also to die for.
