The Cafe
Pescatarian and Vegan friendly place. No meat other than fish.
Place has a nice vibe and hippie style.
We ordered hummus, veggie meatball sandwich, mahi-mahi sandwich, salmon pesto sandwich and blackened tuna sandwich. Even though we had a little incident with tuna, they fixed it right away and everything was great. Mavi-mahi was the best of above.
Their limeade is phenomenal, kids also loved blackberry limeade too.
Highly recommend, they have a meat-free kitchen, any vegetarian dish prepped here will taste 10x better than a kitchen with meat.

Halva Mediterranean Grill
Regardless how many times I went, they always amaze me.
Kudos to their constant performance on food quality and taste. My favorite orders have the same taste every single time.
They have the authentic Turkish blue-collar restaurant theme.
Green salad, onion salad and ezme (sour/hot tomato salad) served as courtesy, free of charge.
Must tries
1. Cop Shish
2. Liver Shish (if you are into entails)
3. Beyti
4. Chef Style Lokum (lamb cubes w butter, 😋)
5. Adana
6. Burger (as good as a boutique burger place)
7. Kokorec (if they have and if you are into entails)
If you are sweet tooth
1. Pistachio Semolina Halva (their new innovation, leave it on top of your mouth let it melt. The pistachio, the sugar, the butter, semolina. I love any sweet but this is next level)
2. Simit Katmer ( perfect combination of cream and pistachio in a circle form of thin dough)
3. Katmer (Pistachio, thin layer of cream in envelope shape)

Rumi Turkish Grill
This place is usually not busy but there is a reason.
Food is decent, not bad not good. I had lentil soup and Pide. Don’t recommend lentil soup, it is better than any other non-Mediterranean cuisine but not good for Mediterranean ones. Pide was 6/10 we had Kusbasi/Kasar.
Service was terrible during our last visit. They didn’t even offer tap water, we have ordered soup server left it in the middle of the table. For me the biggest strike was tea ☕️.
If you are marketing yourself as Turkish Grill, act like one. Serving lentil soup and lahmacun won’t make you one. Traditionally, in Turkish cuisine, hot black tea is offered at the end of the meal free of charge and it comes in a special glass. Thin belly Turkish tea glass. They not only charge you for the tea $2 per glass, tea was terrible and came in a water glass as in the picture.
