This is the best Turkish cafe I've been in good taste traditional and customer service on point on weekends and supper time can be crowded.Everything is clean and neat the ambiance is great noisy as any traditional Turkish place must be.Restaurant is amazing as well best Mediterranean food I've had in years.

It was confusing on whether to grab a seat upon walking in or wait to be seated. There was no one at the door, only a sign above the register all the way in the back that said "Order Here."My group walked to the back, and the gentleman standing there directed us to sit anywhere we chose and gave us menus.The food came out fairly quickly and was very good.I ordered the Moussaka, Falafel, and Turkish coffee. We also shared some pita. The tzatziki and hummus were delicious paired with the pita and falafel.The moussaka came with slightly buttered and seasoned white rice on a separate dish. It did not look like traditional moussaka with a layer of bechamel sauce on top; but rather, it was a bowl of seasoned meat with sauce and bits of eggplant underneath It was flavorful and not too salty. I would have liked to see a lot more pieces of eggplant, however. The coffee was hot and strong and had prominent citrus notes.My friend did not enjoy his soup, saying it was way too oily. The service was alright. He was very attentive up until we received all of our food and drinks. After that we were left alone. We had to get his attention in order to ask for to-go boxes. We were one of two groups in the dining area. After our meal we went next door for baklava and desserts. This place was where it's at! I ordered a blackberry cake slice to eat there, and a red velvet something and a coconut cream filled chocolate baklava to go.Absolutely fantastic! I loved the blackberry cream cake. Fluffy, creamy, and exactly blackberry tasting. The red velvet thing was heaven. I didn't get the name of what it was called. Red velvet crumble outside, and a chewy nougat inside. Yum. The chocolate coconut baklava was outstanding as well. I loved all the textures going on, the flaky outside, the creamy inside, the coconut crunchy flake, and the chocolate made for a perfect three bite dessert.Overall, I enjoyed my experience here, I'd come back - especially for the coffee and desserts!

This review is for the restaurant, not the patisserie next to it. I had not been there for years and did not remember the food too well. You go and order to the cash register and then sit and wait. Pretty fast and good food. Everything is really spotless clean. I wish there would have been more atmosphere (basically we were my friend and I and another woman at a separate table) but apparently it goes by days and the day we went was very slow. Will go back when there is music, people and can check what others are eating:)

Came here for dinner. It was delicious. Then came back for breakfast. That was also delicous. Not sure what's better here, dinner or breakfast. Amazing flavors. Turkish breakfast is an amazing culinary experience. Highly recommended.

Best baklava! Had Turkish coffee, treats, and sat for a slow morning. Absolutely delish. Can't wait to come back for the beautiful desserts for an event! We need to come back to eat next door too! The owners are working with their staff and genuinely so grateful to have you. Feels like you're visiting Turkey! I went years back and it made you feel like you were right back there.

It was my first time I tried this restaurant the food was awful to much oily and it was not the same food I ordered. The food in menu I ordered it was with eggplant , but when they brought my food, there was no eggplant and it came with potatoes with so much oil I couldn't eat. I wish there was a way i could not give any star.

Absolutely delicious food (even down to the rice)! My personal favorite from this place is the kebab. Generous portions as well. You can also enjoy some Turkish beverages and baklava right next door; owned by the same family! Side notes:- Restroom available - Plenty of parking even on the weekend

Good kebab plate. I liked the fresh veggies and sauces and the grilled chicken was very flavorful. Service was very good, they had some slappin' Turkish pop music playing at the time too which I shazam'ed.
