★★★★★ 5.0 Asad Safi · Feb 2026

Amazing Turkish restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors. The kebabs were juicy, the bread was fresh, and everything was well presented. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast. The atmosphere was cozy and clean. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Turkish cuisine. I will definitely come back again

★★★★☆ 4.0 Soknot Young · Jan 2026

Kinda bland and the salad was just lettuce. No flavor in the hummus. The chicken and rice is good for picky eaters who don’t like spice and like plain food. Really was hoping it was better. It was empty and the places surrounding were so busy but I had already place my order on uber eats. They said on app it was ready but it took 10min more after that. Place has so much more potential.

After trying it a few weeks ago, I took my wife here for a late lunch. She a tough cookie and was blown away by the flavor and the service. Rice is like mom makes, delicious by itself. Hummus is the best I’ve ever had. Adana kebabs are savory and delicious. We are picky about our Turkish food and this place checks all the boxes. Chapeau! Harika lezzet. Temiz modern keyifli. Highly recommended! Note: Adana plate comes with one skewer. I’m on a high protein diet so I paid for an extra skewer.

I just had the best döner I’ve eaten in San Francisco! 🤤🔥 If you’re anywhere nearby, I highly recommend trying it. The flavor was amazing, the meat was perfectly cooked, and everything was super fresh. Definitely one of the best döner spots in the city. Don’t miss it

The food was fantastic and the staff running the front of the house was just as great! We had a lamb gyro, a lamb and beef gyro plate, and fresh made baklava. Highly recommend!
