My friend brought our family to this restaurant. It was the first time to enjoy authentic Turkish dishes in a place. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was amiable. We ordered a lot of food, and everything, including a cheeseburger, was lovely. The combination of warm slices of bread and sac kavurma was a pleasant start. My friend strongly recommended lamb shank, and he was right. It was a lovely dish. Pide, which could be close to the origin of dumplings and pizza, was also good. The mixed grill had a mountain of meats. It is a pricy restaurant but a nice place to enjoy nomadic dishes.
I ordered Chicken Sàute for take out but they didn’t close the lid nicely. The bag started dipping onto my car. I went back to restaurant, manager was there, he said ‘sorry’ and gave the container to waiter to wrap it again. When waiter came back, he started accusing me that I probably shake the bag, instead of saying ‘sorry’. I said I didn’t, it was just not closed nicely. Any slow motion could cause dripping if you don’t close a liquidy food nicely. He kept accusing me that I was not holding the bag correctly. You need to learn how to say ‘sorry’ to a customer if there’s any fault instead of accusing them.
The desserts were scrumptious. Almond pudding was the best. Ali Nazik and liver fry were awesome !!!
Hi guys I invite you guys to visit this cafe and restaurant ! To start off I went during a week day on a Tuesday evening . So parking was good had a spot infront of the restaurant and it wasn't that packed. Once we arrived we were greated by the waiter who was super nice. Shout out to her; service was great . They them provided us the menus .Here I will include some tatlilar and iceceklers I enjoyed . Kabak Tatlisi, it had some pumpkin, pectin / gelatin,crushed walnuts , and it included tahini also . And my favorite Taze Sikma Limonata . Enjoy 😁my pictures from my visit .
I’ve eaten at this restaurant twice. First time was a week ago. I was invited by a group of friends. The good was fresh & tasty. The service was good. I went back yesterday with my wife. We were refused a seating in the main area though there was another couple seated there. The food tasted like it was reheated leftovers. The shawarma, especially was crisp & dry. Not succulent & juicy like the time before. My wife chose the salmon dish. It wasn’t to her liking. It wasn’t fresh and wasn’t done right.
Very delicious food, I liked Pomegranate salad, Iskender kebab so yum, the meat is fresh, not to hard, they serve the food hot and nice. We are really enjoyed and had a fun with my girls. Also we ordered a strawberry cake deserts, and they brought extra 2 deserts as a compliment to us. We were so happy! It's very nice of them!
Deserts are taste very good with light sugar, we loved it. Definitely, we will come back next time. Thank you for great service 👍

Simply delectable food, freshly prepared. I'm a big fan of Choban salad 🥗, and salep is my absolute favorite. As of the update on 06/10/2023, the food remains consistently delicious, featuring fresh ingredients. Not only do I enjoy the food, but I also appreciate the wonderful people here ❤️.
