Antepian Turkish Cuisine

The food was good but the place is a little run down. It was completely empty on a Saturday afternoon. Seems like it is family owned and operated, which I love and totally want to support, however, the service component just wasn't there. Despite being the only table there, we had to walk to the register to order, then someone came to our table. The ambiance could really use a revamp.

This is about as hole in the wall as it gets, with a combination of Turkish family recipes served halal in a former NY pizza joint converted into everything they could need to serve those recipes. Prices definitely run a little high, but for a special night out with some good company, it's worth the drive.Service here is simple. It's what appears to be the owners family doing all the work, and they know both their menu and their people more than well. You might need a second to hail them when it's busy, but they got us everything quicker than expected.The food here is a realistically small but fresh assortment of appetizers, flatbreads and meats served to you in different configurations. Seeing as I generally go with a group, I prefer to order the Combo Platter which let's you taste their spread, if you don't mind sharing. Flatbreads are always good and a great appetizer, flavorful in their own right but not heavy enough to be a meal.An American classic, these hole in the wall restaurants have long been symbols of greater ethnic enclaves and wonderful opportunities for a larger audience to try the cuisine. If you haven't already, I definitely recommend trying them out!

They are a small family run shopped that just opened. We got a little bit of everything to try it out. The hummus and topping were such a great touch and was delicious. I just wished we had to flat bread for we ran out. Their pizza was very interesting and tasty. I love the flavor combo of uniqueness. Their lamb kabobs were not the greatest. It was over cooked and a bit dry. It was a bit tough to chew and I wish they had some sort of sauce with it. I'm glad we had the hummus left over to put on it but the meat was not worth getting. Their service was very slow. The boy didn't bring water out until we had to ask for it after taking our order and giving us silverware. They didn't check on us the entire meal even though it wasn't busy. I was super thirsty halfway through my meal but no water was in sight.

When Antepian moved into town with hundreds of glowing reviews (carried over from their former location in Aurora, CO) and photos showing bulgur and grilled vegetables served with their kebaps, I was excited to try it--only to be disappointed by false advertising, stolen menu photos, and more.Pros:- Authentic Turkish; no generic "Mediterranean" theme.- Kebaplar are well-seasoned, delicious, and served with actual lavaş.- They have çiğ köfte, ezme, and ayran.Cons:- Photos across their physical menu, website, and delivery apps show beautiful kebaplar served with proper grilled veggies (tomato and green chili) and yellow bulgur, but in reality you only get plain white rice and salad. When I dined in they told me this was because they'd just opened, but months later I ordered delivery and it came the exact same way. If you're gonna cut corners like this, at least be honest in your advertising!- At least one of their menu photos is ripped off from Nizam in İstanbul (with the logo crudely cropped out), which explains why what you actually get isn't even remotely close to the pictures.- Service is chaotic, awkward, and slow on busy nights.- All beverages are in cans/bottles out of a self-serve fridge; no free water.- For a new place, ambience is severely lacking and not at all on par with the food prices.

Amazing food and wonderful people! Every time we come to our store in Frisco, we stop here for lunch, we even have our "own" table lol we have tried almost everything on the menu and we are yet to be disappointed! If you're in the area you should stop even if it's just for tea and dessert!

Tried the lahmacun for the first time and we were told to dress it with onions and parsley and roll it all together. I enjoyed the burst of flavors in this dish. Not pictured but we also had the lentil soup which was also very good and washed everything down with the turkish tea. It's a small and friendly place, seems like there are regulars there and our server made us feel very welcomed with recommend dishes. 5 stars. I'll be back to try more

Delicious authentic Turkish food. Whole course was delicious, all items were filling and unique. Would definitely go back again.

Great service, amazing food...strongly recommended! We felt welcomed and I love the atmosphere and the ambiance. Thank you!

Dead on a Saturday afternoon. Literally we were the only guests. We were not greeted by staff or by the owner sitting depressingly behind the kitchen (who I made eye contact with but still he only glared at me). Food was stale. Baklava was stale. At the end their card reader wasnt working so I had to ZELLE the hostess. New experience, lol. It explains why they are so empty.

They accepted us even though it was their closing time. We loved Adana kebap. Next time we go, we want to try their lahmacun.
