Otto

Excellent food! It was fresh and flavorful. The multi colored plates added to the vibrancy of the place. Lots of interesting artwork on the walls, another feast for the eyes. A good variety of canned soda/juices as well; try the sour cherry juice. Overall, we were very happy with our choice.

Otto Eats catered our 75-person wedding in June 2025, and we recommend them in the strongest terms! We had a difficult time choosing a caterer since we were looking for something to fit both our budget and our larger vision for the role food would play at our wedding, and many of the other options we tried failed to stand out. All it took was experiencing Ali’s hospitality and incredible food during our tasting to make it clear we had found that special vendor we were hoping for. Throughout the planning process, Ali was extremely fast and detailed in communicating with us whenever we had questions or needed to make adjustments. On the big day itself, the Otto Eats team brought their food truck and arrived early to set up. The food was fresh and delicious, from cocktail hour appetizers, to

Amazing Turkish-style food! We had the shawarma wrap and the shawarma chicken bowl—both were super flavorful and the chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The owners were also incredibly friendly and welcoming. This spot is right in the heart of Charlottesville, VA, and is definitely a must-try!

Otto Eats is a fantastic spot in Charlottesville for authentic Turkish and Mediterranean food. The menu has something for everyone — meat lovers, vegetarians, and even vegan options — and everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The döner kebabs are a standout, packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned, and the falafel is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices are very reasonable given the quality. The atmosphere inside is warm and lively, with a casual, friendly vibe that makes it great for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners. The staff are welcoming and attentive, and even when the place gets busy, service stays smooth. I also love that Otto offers catering and a food truck — it really shows their dedication to sharing

I fell in love as soon as I walked in the door. As someone who loves culture, I could feel it instantly here. I got recommended an amazing bowl and chocolate baklava(first time having it and it was amazing!) Had a great convo with the host and enjoyed the food. 10/10 recommend
