Pita was awesome, really fresh and tasty. Lemonade was also very good. Almost nothing else was even decent, including the service. The place was empty when we went, around 3pm on a Sunday, but it took a good few minutes for the staff to come over to the front desk and seat us. We were clearly visible by a few of the staff that were standing by the brick oven, but it took a bit for anyone to come over. We ordered two appetizers and a salad, but the salad never came. What did come was calamari and “Mediterranean shrimp.” The calamari was chewy, but it was tasty, and the marinara sauce that came with it was also good - it had some hints of warm spices you might expect in Turkish food. The Mediterranean shrimp was described as “blackened, seared shrimp, Parmesan crusted, with balsamic reduction.” Picture shows the shrimp with precisely zero blackening or spice and not even a hint of parmesan - seemed like it was just lightly floured and fried. Not sure the liquid on the plate was balsamic reduction; the shrimp was just wet with something that tasted more like general Tso’s chicken than anything else. Could have just been a bad day, and there’s definitely some potential to be had with the environment, but it wasn’t a good experience at all this time out.

The food was wonderful, very little wait time to get a table. Food came out quickly. Very reasonable price for the quality and quantity of food you get. We got our entree before our salads, drink refills were slow, and they ran out of what we ordered for dessert so had to select something else. But overall it was a lovely experience.

We visited the place three weeks ago. I forgot about writing a review. When I think about it today, I feel like I need to write about the fantastic experience we had here. Fantastic food, friendly service, beautiful environment. We ordered an Adana Kebab and chicken combo for two. Meats are tender and properly seasoned. The lentil soup is flavorful. Pitas are baked in the near bar, fresh and aromatic. Service is very friendly, answering my questions about foods and culture. It is a great experience. Highly recommended.

Amazing! They've earned every star. We were greeted at the door. Customer service was great.. our server was very friendly. She recommended items off of the menu being as though this was our first time here. All recommendations was amazing. We have not one complaint. Not to pricey either and they are BYOB We will definitely be returning soon. Keep up the great work
