The servers are like Tetris pros & pack every surface space with food! The food was delicious & not as heavy as I usually feel when I have gone out to breakfast. Everything was warm & even magically seemed to stay warm while sitting out. Absolutely delicious. I recommend 😊
We had a wonderful meal at this Turkish restaurant! The grilled dishes were cooked perfectly-flavorful, juicy, & absolutely delicious. The portions were very generous (sultan grill for 2), so you definitely get great value for your money. The staff were warm, friendly, & made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!

Franchement, je suis très déçue de mon expérience.
Nous avons commandé des côtelettes d'agneau, mais elles étaient pratiquement crues. Nous avons demandé qu'elles soient recuites, mais elles sont revenues dans le même état. Ma cousine étant enceinte, il était impossible pour nous de les manger.
Lorsque j'ai signalé le problème à la gérante, elle m'a répondu : « On ne peut les faire cuire une troisième fois pour vous alors que à ce moment là ils ont tout ramasser » » J'ai trouvé cette réponse très décevante & peu professionnelle.
Au final, j'ai payé 120 $ pour des pommes de terre, de la salade & du thé, puisque nous n'avons pas pu manger la viande.
Le seul point positif de notre soirée a été la serveuse, qui a été très gentille, attentionnée & professionnelle avec nous.
Je ne recommande malheureusement pas ce restaurant.
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.
Excellent food, service & atmosphere! Really nice to have a new spot in the east end that is worthwhile. Definitely need a reservation though! Will be going back, definitely recommend!
Quelle belle découverte ! Tout était excellent, la nourriture, l'ambiance & le service. On s'est régalés du début à la fin. Un gros merci à notre serveuse, Tanina, pour son accueil, sa gentillesse & son sourire.
Je recommande !
Trés bon restaurant avec plusieurs varietés de choix. J'ai essayé plusieurs restaurants turc & je trouve que c'est le meilleur. Le service est impeccable. Les deux fois que je suis allé, on était servi par Meriem, elle est vraiment excellente. Je recommande fortement ce restaurant surtout pour le service & le bon accueuil.
