Cafe Sabah

Whenever I discover a Turkish restaurant around here I get so excited because I feel like there's not enough Turkish restaurants and Turkish food is pretty AMAZING. This gem was such a good discovery and will be one of my go-to spots for delicious Turkish food. The restaurant has plenty of seating and space inside with a extensive variety of Turkish dishes to choose from. What we ordered: Lahmacun, Beyti, Chopped Meat Pide. Everything was made fresh to order and took me back to my last trip to Turkey. Fresh and crispy, the Lahmacun is a must-order and the Pide was one of my favorite. The Beyti was very flavorful but be warned that it is a bit on the spicy side. I'll definitely be back for more! This restaurant seems like the perfect place to dine on any occasion. If you're looking for a delightful Turkish spot, this one is it!

Very good experience overall: large, airy dining room, friendly staff, quick prep of tasty food. The kitchen was heavily staffed even at 2:30 p.m. (we came in for a late lunch), and they cranked out our meal in less than 20-30 minutes. The food was hot, well-seasoned and all of the meats in the mixed grill were to our liking for the most part (beef steak was not very tender, but it was sirloin/a low fat cut = somewhat to be expected). Our favorite items were the lamb chops, Adana and chicken kebabs. Lahmajoun was crisp at the edges, and the topping/seasoning was delicious. We also tried the baba ganoush and pita - the eggplant was lightly smoked, and nicely balanced with peppers. Pita was good, not great. It's not made to order, but they do a serviceable job of reheating it. Save room for dessert - they have a wide variety in the pastry case (Kadaif is hard to find locally).

I'm in town for a family vacation, and we wanted to try this place out. Ordered the chicken shish kebab, lamb shish kebab, hummus, and soujouk pepperoni pide. Taste-wise, everything tasted fine. The rice was actually really good, and I liked the chicken! But the salad had minimal dressing, we were given the cheese pide instead of the pepperoni, and the hummus only came with 1 piece of bread for the entire container. Despite the mess-ups, they were very pleasant and gave us a free water bottle. Food took about 35 minutes, which I would consider middle of the road for time prepared. If I was a local, I'd probably come back.

Came here with group of friends and really liked the food. Was disappointing with service being extremely slow, we came here pretty hungry and the wait time was too much. Even our appetizers came out late. Appetizers- Veg flatbread was good, appetizers flight was great. The bread came out so cold, wish it was warm. Main course was a hit with us, everything was spot on- Eggs, Meat and soup. Deserts were soo disappointing, nothing seemed good, we tried 3 of them.Great place for Mediterranean food scene in Renton, much needed infact.

10 out of 10!! The food the service and the decor! I recently went to Turkey an fell in love with the food. When Cafe Sabah popped on my radar I knew I needed to try it. I walked in and saw all the Turkish lamps and just knew that I was going to have a great experience! Our server was so friendly and kind enough to humor me when I told her my travel story. But the food!! Everything we ate was just like when we were there!!! Super authentic and amazing! We had a smorgasbord! We had the mixed appetizer, the mixed grill, and french fry's and the cigar rolls. You must go!! I will be back very soon!!

Great Turkish food with more choices than the typical Middle Eastern fast casual place. Lots of pide (stuffed flatbread), appetizers, even menemen and manti. I associate the latter more with Afghani food, but this place could be regional. I would come back and try that dish if they had a vegetarian version. We ordered the mixed appetizer plate (your choice which was great!), menemen, chicken shawarma for my son, and a couple of desserts. The food was very good. The dips came with thick Turkish bread. I love pita but also like to try different bread styles. It was really nice to try some things that are rarely on menus, even on Turkish menus. We would love to come back and try more of the desserts too because what we tried was so good.

We had the best Mediterranean lunch at Cafe Sabah during our trip to WA. The staff immediately greeted and seated us at a booth in the middle of the restaurant. For a party of 3, we wanted to try it all and ordered a little of everything. Shepherd Salad (5/5) - refreshing salad that paired well with the hearty meats; I loved the pomegranate salad dressingHummus (5/5) - delicious creamy smooth hummus Moutabbal (4/5) - roasted eggplant with tahini and yogurt was tastyMix Grill Kebab (4/5) - great dish to share between 2-3 people. I enjoyed the variety of meats we were able to try. Lahmajoun (4/5) - side comes with tomatoes, onions, and parsley, the lamb flavor was strongChopped meat pide (5/5) - small chunks of beef on a Turkish flatbread Turkish Tea - strong black tea

We are back and Loved everything we had here again. This time we tried a few different items. Menemen- tomatoes with eggs and onions and some bread. So refreshing and filling. Would have this any days for breakfast or lunch. Kind of like scramble eggs with chunky tomatoes. Lahmajoun- like think crust pizza with a thin layer of minced meat. Top with pinions cilantro tomatoes and lemon juice. Love! Not too heavy nor greasy. Rice pudding- not too sweet. Nice texture and adding ground cinnamon is perfect. Still amazing: Cheese pide- like plain cheese pizza without the red sauce. Lentil soup- Different spices than Indian lentil soup. Not spicy but refreshing and comforting like a leek and potato soup. I truly believed the quality of their ingredients made a difference. Nice family owned restaurant. Will be back for sure!

Looooved the food here, it tasted just like home! We ordered so many things from the menu to try for the whole table. Other than the manti lacking some flavor, I could recommend everything. The place is huge with lots of seating. We came for brunch on a weekend and it wasn't crowded at all. The staff were nice too. Can't wait to come back!

I'm so glad this restaurant is in the Renton Highlands neighborhood! I don't have much experience with "Turkish" cuisine, but the Mix Grill Kebab platter was huge and so delicious! I loved the presentation of the platter, too!Very friendly service and the chef/cooks were all nice and hospitable, too.There's plenty of seating inside the restaurant and there are cool lights hanging from the ceiling that gives that Mediterranean vibe. Definitely a must try restaurant!
