My coworker had the craving for Turkish food so we ordered from Istanbul for dinner, I enjoy the almond pudding, the coffee was an espresso shot , the. Bread was fluffy and their dip was yummy. I had the chicken kebab , the portion was average , rice with salads and 5 cubes of chicken. We had it delivered to the hospital, fast delivering on a weekend. I looking forward ordering another dish next time .

Came here for lunch on a weekday. I could eat just their eggplant appetizers (both babaganaush and sautéed one) with the delicious pita as my meal and be completely satisfied. Its absolutely perfect! We also had one of their grilled meat but its the appetizers that I remember most.

I was craving some lamb chops, so I decided to look for a place where I could fulfill that need. They were well grilled and soft enough to be cut and eaten easily when served. The spices were great, and the combination is amazing when mixed with the bread they serve and olives. The Turkish music playing in the background was very nice and smooth, I did enjoy it. Although I was well served, I didn't like how I got charged a gratuity(20%) even though I was alone. Also, specify which size you want, because you will get served large automatically.

Our new go to place when in the area. Great lebne, and various eggplant appetizers. Best shepherd salad with super fresh vegetables we've had in a while. Lamb Adana is great and juicy, and awesome liver. Service is super friendly as well.

Celebrated a party for 11 people and was highly satisfied with the service! The waiters/waitresses were extremely helpful and took care of the table the whole time. The food was okay-tasting. We ordered a bunch of family style dishes and the portions were good for the price. I would come back again for a casual meal.

Ordered: Small Shepherd Salad (~$10) + Cheese (+$2): fresh tomatoes, green peppers, cucumbers, onions, parsley, and dressing 2 Mixed Grill Cover Bread (~$63): assortment of chicken kebab, shish kebab, adana kebab, gyro, and lamb chops over rice, tomatoes, and peppers baked inside Turkish bread Half Hummus/Half Babaghonush Appetizer (~$8) Kazandibi (complimentary): brown top pudding Turkish Tea (complimentary) Aya's take: If you're looking for Turkish food, look no further! We stopped by for lunch around 2:30pm on a Sunday - right before they started to get busy and had to turn people away. We started off with the complimentary Turkish bread which was light, airy, and baked fresh. I loved the freshness of the Small Shepherd Salad. It's so simple yet delicious. We were asked if we wanted the cheese on it or on the side - that made me think that cheese was included. Had I known it was an additional cost to begin with, I wouldn't have ordered it. We got it on the side and barely touched it. We were pretty indecisive about appetizers so I'm glad we were able to do Half Hummus/Half Babaghonush. Both were well-made and just delectable with the fresh Turkish bread. The real winner here was the Mixed Grill Cover Bread. Note, if you do want the mixed grill to be baked in the Turkish bread which they open at the table in front of you, you need to order a minimum of 2 orders. So for 3 people, we had 2 Mixed Grill orders so they were able to make it in the Turkish bread. I think it's well-worth the unique experience, having them present it at the table, and to try the variety of meats! I have to say all the meats were tender, buttery, moist, and full of flavor. The gyro meat was thinly sliced, crispy, yet soft and delicious. I loved all the mixed meat options - my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Our waiter, Ersin, was amazing! He was super attentive the whole time, flexible to our requests, and even offered us Turkish Tea & Kazandibi (a Turkish dessert) that I've never had before. We thought we were ending on a high note with the Mixed Grill but this was just next level.

Not enough words for how amazing this place is! They have great and friendly staff from my experiences coming here. The highlight of this place is their huge bread they serve you with olive oil and a yogurt sauce when you first sit down. I've usually gotten the adana kebabs and a pide here. Their lahmacun is also highly recommended.
