I usually don’t post reviews unless some place is exceptionally good. I went there for dinner, I must say it is one of the finest Turkish restaurants I have tried. Good hospitality and delicious food. The chicken in my dish was tender, smoked and flavorful. I would definitely want to try their breakfast menu next time and return for dinner again.

This is a wonderful place to check out if you want good turkish food. Great with COVID restrictions in terms of social distancing between guests. The food was juicy, delicious, filling and just overall amazing! I went on a weekend and there was no wait. Parking on site. Definitely check out

FAST Review: Food, Ambience, Service, Time
Food: Delicious! The Istanbul salad was pulchritudinous and savory. It was not drizzled, but bathed in olive oil. It would take high up in the salads I have had. Greens with onions, walnuts, beets and mushrooms.
We had falafel for appetizers, which was really good. Hummus that accompanied the falafel was excellent. The tahini did not take over the hummus, as most often it does.
The Istanbul Mix Grill was delicious, great combo platter. Chicken and lamb kebabs and gyro strips with rice and salad.
We also had the Cupra Dorado fish. I loved this one, well cooked, served with potatoes and salad.
Loved the Turkish coffee and tea.
The desserts were great too.
Over all delicious food!
Ambience: Well decorated, spacious and soothing colors that blended well. Only blemish was one part of the ceiling which was broken and pieces can easily fall on an unlucky customer sitting under.
Service: was great as well. She was constantly on check if we were comfortable, is we liked the food, was knowledgeable about the dishes, what the ingredients were and have her recommendations to try as well. Updated us on status of the food, when it would be coming out.
Time: There was only one family when we went in, so got to sit pretty quickly and even could choose where to sit. We were immediately attended to and the food also came timely. The restaurant got busy after we got in with another four families joining.
Overall a great dining experience. Food is expensive than other places but worth the dining experience.
What I didn't like: They charged 15% gratuity by default, and we were only three of us. I normally give 18-20% but the fact that they automatically took 15% discouraged me and I left it at that.
The bakery section had seating right in front of it. We wanted to buy some sweets to go but having to reach out over people eating discouraged us and we left without buying anything from the bakery area.

Food was ok, not very super delicious and not too bad. The reason y i gave 3 star is poor service. The quantity is not that much in a platter. Food is bit expansive compared to others. Overall nice place.
