Amaaaaaazing food, wow. Hands down some of the best middle eastern food I've had. The bread was also super fresh, made in-house, & could be eaten on its own. The owners also came over with Turkish tea afterwards! Got the family platter which is great for 4-5 people & a solid price.

Honestly, the quality here surprised me. The meat was seasoned perfectly & those red onions actually tasted fresh. The bread was easily the best part though toasted just right on the outside but still soft enough to soak up all the juices. Definitely has that authentic feel.
