Taksim Turkish Grill

Sooooooo good! The stuffed cabbage was to die for. And the service was even better.An absolute great place to stop and get good food.

I was at a weekend course next door at the Seminole State College Lake Mary/Sanford campus and had a short break for lunch. I wanted something not too heavy and luckily found an amazing Turkish restaurant next door with great value!The owners were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a falafel with a side of frees, I believe it was only like $11 or $13. Pretty good price and I left extremely full! The restaurant has a good amount of tables with very authentic Turkish decor and memorabilia. I stopped because I was nearby but I'll definitely be back again if I'm nearby or just in the mood for some good Turkish food at a great price!

It's an excellent lunch spot to try something new in Sanford. It is a locally-owned restaurant, and the food is delicious.Two people were in the open kitchen area when I first walked in. Turns out they were the only employees at the time. Regardless of the short staff, we were greeted, and the owners (I assumed) were kind and friendly. The restaurant is casual; just a heads up if you expect something more. The menu is simple and has excellent options. My husband and I opted for the combos. I had the Doner (Gyro), and my husband had the Philly Cheese Steak, both with fries & canned soda. Both were delicious and tasty. We also ordered the hummus, and it has been one of the ones I have had.Due to the short staff, we waited a bit for our food, but it was no big deal. The lady checked on us a few times to ensure we were all good.I will return to the restaurant to try one of their entrees and kebabs.One tip: they had a sign about a discount if you pay with cash.

Wow!!! What a find in Sanford! Authentic small mom and pop shop with delicious food and friendly service!Don't expect fancy, this is anything but! However, if you want delicious home cooked food served with a smile this is your spot! I thought the food was very good, nice portion sizes and lots of flavor. I wouldn't say this is traditional Turkish but more towards street food/halal! Enjoyed our last minute find and will def be back for more! Oh and do yourself a favor... get the baklava! The best I've ever had! (Ate it too fast to take a pic)

Stopped in for lunch, had the islander kebab. Pretty good. definitely has that Mediterranean feel as you walk in or the café style dining but nonetheless nice .Will go again.

As we entered the restaurant it took a while for them to even great us until we said something. Then we ordered and my chicken gyro had bad chicken on it I had to spit most of it out and was hard in some areas. It seemed as they seasoned and cooked little like 15 times over and over again. Nasty (and I despise calling food nasty but this one was). Then another person came in to get food and we had to scream for them to come out and attend to that customer. Then the numbers did not add up. We are thinking they are charging hidden fees to done in.

You walk up to the counter and place your order and they bring the food to your table. Everything was very good and fresh and delicious. There are some things on the menu that we're already looking forward to coming back and trying. Like stuffed cabbage!

Absolutely delicious! They have a great lunch special! Everything is under $10 on their lunch special menu! Pictured here though is their Chicken Adana Kabob plate! So good!

Very good food. Great friendly staff. We ordered kebabs .....delicious and tender.... I wish they had it on Miami

What a pleasant surprise this place was. Ambiance is basic with small traditional trinkets. The food and service were 11/10. A passionate worker, who I think was an owner, asked how hungry I was. They suggested the gyro meal. I was surprised to see this beautiful plate. And trust me when I say it tasted as good as it looks. Everything on it, as it comes. Would dine here again!!!!
