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.

I usually don't do reviews but this place deserves it! The atmosphere is so welcoming & cozy, while the food is warm & comforting. The meats aren't dry, the falafel is one of the best I've ever had, & the bread is so soft & delicious.

The service is also amazing, they're really kind & charismatic! Especially Latif, you're awesome!

This place fed me a lot during my university year!
I highly recommend to others!!!

Had the lamb & the Adana. The lamb was alright, didn't really bring the flavour out enough. The Adana was well seasoned.

Best Turkish I've ever had! The combo came with some AMAZING sesame bread, can't wait to have it again. The salad was alright but I loved the kebab & the fries were also perfect! The upstairs got a bit smokey but otherwise loved this place!
