Aquiera HalseyNovember 23, 2011Ask, the owner is friendly and very welcoming. The food tastes like I'm back in Istanbul. I always order the shepards salad, sugar boregi and iskendar kebap! The falfel is alwmso amazing!
Natalie BOctober 23, 2010My second home! Likes: cigar borek (cheese rolls), zucchini fritters, spicy minced peppers & turkish tea. Must get: doner kebab, lamb adana (spicy lamb) Dessert: warm konafe! OH and bring friends :)
Ben WatkinsNovember 30, 2012Got the doner lamb based off of tips. The meat was a little dry but the service was definitely on par. Great byo to share with big and small groups
Râna AltıparmakAugust 15, 2014Wine is not recomended with Turkish Kebab & traditional stuff. You may not like it because it's not the right drink for your meal. Asking the waiter for an advice would be great before ordering.
Jennifer HMarch 21, 2010The lamb kebab was to DIE FOR. The meat was so tender and came with plenty of rice. The owner was incredibly friendly. I will be back again very soon!

"Went here a couple of weekends ago! Gotta say overall I love this store but they need to think about expanding and making the store bigger! It tends to get way to crowded in there!!!!"

"Beautiful atmosphere and stage. Perfect for lesser known musicians and for smaller tours. Cheap/decently priced tickets, large enough space for a big audience despite being a smaller venue than most."
