★★★★★ 5.0 Jenny Teng · Sep 2025

A very humble looking restaurant from the outside but inside is very cozy and clean once you enter. The friendly hostess made you feel comfortable even as a first time guest. Owner/chef cooked up very delicious Turkish food and the portion is generous. We will certainly come back again.

Wow. The restaurant created a dish called "Kebap Sushi". It is a specialty dish, Turkish Kebap presented like Sushi. We enjoyed it a lot. The place is a cozy restaurant that you can enjoy your time with your family. A must see place for Turkish cuisine lovers.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jane Sh · May 2025

I give to this place 3 stars because the prices were high and did not match the place, as the interior needs updating and the place also needs repairs. The dishes and plates were plastic. This place apparently works mainly on take-out orders. The furniture is old, the hall smelled of fried fish, which was apparently fried for visitors, and the zucchini pancakes that I ordered also smells like fish. We also ordered meat dishes, they were not bad, doner and kufta wrap. I do not recommend sitting and relaxing with friends in this place, only food here is take-out.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica K · Jan 2026

Amazing!!! We ate there last night and I can't stop thinking about the chicken chops and red lentil soup. We also took home a baklava and it was probably the best I've ever had. Not too sweet, nice texture, phylo dough wasn't too scratchy. The servers which I assume were also the owners were also so nice and attentive. I can't wait to go back there to eat again! Highly recommend!!

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Amy Zaniewski · Jan 2026

This food is outrageously priced. I should’ve known when the website didn’t have prices. I ordered two gyro chicken platters and a feta salad. This was $61!!!! (For pick up) Absolutely insane price. The feta salad was disappointing. A huge block of feta with 4 olives and two slices of tomatoe. The people who work here are so kind. But for that kind of money it is not worth it at all. Will not return!
