The Turkish Mediterranean Cuisine is a "must-try" and you will be going back for more! We were hooked from the first bite! Every dish was bursting with bold spices, fresh ingredients, and that irresistible homemade touch.The lahmacun was perfectly crisp yet tender, the kebabs were smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the meze platter was a dream--creamy baba ghanoush, zesty bean salad, and a spiced feta dish with the perfect kick. And that bread? Warm, fluffy, and made for scooping up every last bite.If you love food that's fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable, get this place on your list now!Note: It is more of a casual restaurant. Parking is free.

This restaurant is delicious! The menu is full of Turkish favorites, Mediterranean classics and even some Italian fare (which we did not sample). The bread and dipping sauce they bring to the table is next level. Homemade and fresh from the oven. Incredible! Be sure to order hummus to also enjoy with the bread. The chicken kebabs and the salmon special get rave reviews from me! The vibes are fairly low.. Pleasant. But low. This place is more about the food than the ambiance. Better than the reverse, right?

Absolutely amazing food and very attentive service. They started you off with warmed flat bread with a pepper oil mash. I asked about the ingredients and apparently the owner does not divulge the recipe to entice people back for more. If I lived out here, it would. My mom has already said she's taking my sister and her family here. If you are looking to try a few things there is choose three or five cold app combos. The descriptions are pretty straight forward, if you're not familiar with this cuisine and have no food allergies, do yourself a favor and put your trust in anything that says "herbs", "spices" or "seasoning", you will not be disappointed in your decision. But be careful because before you know it your entree enters the chat and you can kiss any ambition of dessert goodbye. Save that peppery oil love potion for the rice pilaf and whatever flavor packed meat is coming on your plate. If you are a fan of other cuisine around the Mediterranean, Turkish is a must try. It is BYOB, so be aware if you're looking to get tipsy at dinner. We also were unable to try any of the amazing looking desserts because we underestimated portion size. I could have made a meal out of the app combos alone. Ambiance is quiet, but still bustling, I'm a fairly boisterous individual and I didn't get any wayward looks. Will def visit on my next visit to town!

Wow! This place was phenomenal starting with their homemade bread and the atom (spicy labneh). We had the falafel with hummus and chicken shish kebab that was cooked to perfection, so tender, juicy and well seasoned. Our waiter, Ilker, brought us some spicy sauce to go with the chicken that was amazing! Will definitely be back!

Excellent service. Large portions. Delicious food.Platter of 5 cold appetizers was huge and filling. Excellent bread served with it was SO yummy because it was covered with sesame seeds. We chose the following 5 appetizers and enjoyed all of them: Dolma, beans, babaganoush, labneh and spicy vegan bulgur balls. Next time, I'd like to try the less spicy bulgur balls.

What a find! It's homey, it's busy and bustling, it's yummy and welcoming. My friends and I spent my last evening in Tampa dining in. Helped by a young and enthusiastic server, we sampled incredibly tender grilled octopus, shockingly moist falafel (it's usually so dry!), and sweet and crunchy baklava. My chicken adana was tasty (maybe a bit oily) and the moist rice pilaf a welcome counterpoint. It was really fun to be inside this crowded restaurant on a Saturday night. We saw a dish get lit on fire, we felt seen by the staff, and the authenticity of the spices and textures was all there.

A bit skeptical on what to expect but so glad we went in and ordered!!! We were greeted right away. The place was welcoming and plenty of seating for bigger parties. Started with the cold appetizers which is a whole bunch of dips and spread you can out on your bread. Then we opted for the mixed grill which is lamb, beef and chicken kebabs. This whole meal is good for 5-6 people. This came with individual house salad. For dessert we shared a tiramisu. There were 5 of us in our party and we were all stuffed and going home with plenty of left overs. The food was delicious and a great experience. Highly recommend!!!

I was stationed in Turkey for 3 years and miss it. I dined here for my birthday today. I ordered the traditional Lamb Adana Kebab with hand chopped lamb, red bell pepper, spicy Turkish pepper flakes grilled on flat skewers. It came with rice and salad. Hot chai was delightful.The Ekmek bread with dipping sauce was perfect!Folks, this is the real deal. It's as authentic as I remember eating fresh in restaurants in Adana, Turkey. I'll be making this a frequent treat.
