This family-owned and truly home cooked food has a reputation that precedes it. The lovely lady who owns and operates this small and inconspicuous looking restaurant took over the cooking duties from her late chef husband.

They have intentionally kept the scale as is so as to focus on homemade Turkish dishes to appease to its loyal customers who swear by the traditional focus on Turkish comfort foods made at home.

Everything is made to order (with the exception of the desserts) and freshly made daily. There is no menu as the dishes vary daily and so the dishes are displayed on the TV monitor.

I enjoyed the dishes that were served to me on this particular day.

The grilled meats were succulent and moist and grilled to perfection. The beef and potato stew was fork-tender and seasoned well.

Chicken and noodle soup was hearty and called for on the snow day I was there.

Baklava with pistachios and ice cream was delicate, flaky and was drenched in light honey.

Very good and authentic Mexican food.
Not the Americanized stuff sold at mainstream "Mexican" joints.

Pad Thai needed a bit more tamarind sauce, but it was good. Duck salad was okay. The duck was deep fried and bit too dryand not. I prefer the juicier roasted duck.
