Came here for Friday late lunch, the place was really empty. Only 1 table had guests. Decor is amazing. We ordered Shepard salad and the hummus. The salad had too many tomatoes and the hummus was cold. We wanted to order the adana kebabs but the waiter told us they were beef, been to many turkish places and adana are always lamb. So we ended up ordering some lamb skewers. It was just ok. Overall not worth visiting again, service was ok, seemed like they preparing for the dinner!

Perfect Valentine’s Day dinner at Ottoman Taverna! We had an amazing experience celebrating Valentine’s Day here. The lamb kebab was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor, and the lamb shank was incredibly tender and delicious. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding very attentive, friendly, and made the night feel special. The atmosphere was warm, romantic, and perfect for Valentine’s Day. Highly recommend for a special occasion we will definitely be back

Ottoman Taverna absolutely redeemed my fasting mood this Ramadan. Their Ramadan Special Menu came out like a beautifully choreographed culinary rescue mission — the kind that makes you forget you’ve been counting down to sunset since 5 p.m. The ambiance? Warm, chic, and classy enough that I instantly felt like my iftar should be photographed for a magazine. Soft lighting, elegant décor, and a calm atmosphere perfect for that “I’m starving but I’m still classy” moment. The special menu was the star: comforting soup, fresh bread that should honestly have its own fan club, and dishes that were generous, flavorful, and definitely crafted with fasting people in mind. Everything came out quickly, which is exactly what a hungry soul wants — no suspense, no drama. The service was kind and atten

★★★★★ 5.0 Bryan VanGilder · Feb 2026

The staff were very polite. The restaurant manager came to our table and chatted with us, which was a very kind gesture. Actually, the most important thing was that all the appetizers were amazing. Our favorite first course was hummus, followed by falafel, sigara böreği, dolma, and the main courses. We went to the kitchen to thank the chef and his team for these wonderful dishes. OttomanTaverna is truly a wonderful place with its ambiance and food. I highly recommend it to everyone.
