Wanted to have a Sunday brunch & this was highly recommended from a mutual & we all went to try it out. We were not attended to on time but one of the waitress came through, she was as beautiful as she was pleasant. She helped us understand the meals (first time in a Turkish restaurant). We had the Turkish breakfast & Ottoman. We enjoyed it. Ambience was perfect as well. I wish I got the waitress' name, she made the experience memorable for first Turkish meal. Whenever I am around, I will surely return.
I was pleasantly surprised when I first walked into the restaurant. Huge restaurant, beautiful decor & it was packed on a Friday night, which is wonderful to see.
The food was delicious, everything we ordered tasted phenomenal. The steak was tender, the lamb was buttery & melt in your mouth & the chicken kebabs were juicy!
Our waitress was also very sweet & attentive. She took the time to explain the dishes & gave great recommendations.
I would highly recommend making a reservation, we waited about 45 mins for a table.
Delightful restaurant. We are glad that we found this restaurant & gave it a try - food is delicious, & service is so friendly. Highly recommended.
Go with an appetite & indulge from the whole menu - from starters all the way to tea & dessert.
