When my boyfriend and I decided to try out Marmara we weren't expecting anything as great as it…read morewas... It's in a fricking mall! We've been there once every week for the last month...... I've enjoyed the Branzini very much ( fillet it to avoid bones) Their balloon bread is amazing with the Tapenade they serve. We always get their hummus. And their grape leaves. The Shephards salad which Is mostly tomato &cucumbers w a flavorful dressing (we put on side) .. there's just something about using their balloon bread to scoop up your salad and dips... Yep, we always get a second order of the bread... It's very light and thin and doesn't feel as gluttonous. Everybody is very courteous... It's like going to a restaurant in the city... A belly like dancer surprised us on a Friday night which was fun. I don't really wanna recommend this too much because I don't want it to get so busy that I can't get in when I want to lol but seriously it's a really great experience. They do have wine, but we bring our own and they are happy to fill a glass! Enjoy

The food is delicious, 10/10. I've been here about 5 times and have never had a bad meal…read more The service on the other hand is very slow. Consistently. It takes about 30 minutes to get your food and even longer to get a check after the fact. Which is crazy because my table was only one out of 3 other tables in the restaurant. A 20% tip is automatically applied to your bill, and then still asked if you want to tip ON TOP OF THE FACT so pay attention to your bill! Part of me thinks the reason the service isn't as good is because they know they're automatically getting that tip, but another part of me hopes that isn't the case. Ambiance is nice, very beautiful and great place for pictures.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while searching for a lunch spot with friends, and it ended up being…read moresuch a fun experience. The menu is perfect for sharing family-style, and we especially loved the complimentary puffy bread (which is even better with an order of one of their dips!). Our group shared a few appetizers along with the Sultan Plate (large meat platter for 4-6 people), which comes with a dramatic flame presentation and a generous assortment of meats. Everything was flavorful and we all enjoyed trying the different varieties. The adana kebab was one of my personal favorites. We were also pleasantly surprised by how spacious the restaurant is. There are two beautiful private dining rooms near the front that'd be perfect for a party. In general, highly recommend dining here with a group!

I recently visited this restaurant and had an excellent experience.

The Turkish Mediterranean cuisine lived up to the hype. I ordered the lebni, chicken and lamb shish kebab with rice and salad, and tried the red sauce with bread, all of which were outstanding. The dishes struck the perfect balance: satisfying and filling without being heavy or leaving you uncomfortably full. The service matched the quality of the food. The staff was attentive and friendly, and our meals arrived promptly and beautifully presented. Whether you're dining solo, on a date, or with friends, I'd highly recommend this spot. The food is consistently excellent, and the overall experience is top-notch.

The employee was incredibly helpful when it came to deciding what to order. For appetizers, we got the hummus, tzatziki, and falafel--everything was delicious. They also give you a side of "mommy's sauce," and omg... it was soooo good mixed with the hummus. It's a secret family recipe made by the owner herself, which makes it even better! For the entrée, we ordered the mixed grill platter. My favorite meats were the gyro slices and the beef cubes. The beef cubes were perfectly seasoned--seriously next level. The rice underneath all the meat was also excellent and packed with flavor. Will definitely be back!!

And this…read moreis a TRUE small business that serves quality, homemade food that happens to be plant based and I will say it doesn't matter if you're vegan or not, you will not regret trying anything on their menu! I've tried the steak+peppers with mac and cheese w/ cornbread, kofte platter, cinnamon donut, almond biscotti, lentil soup, and chickpea tuna sandwich as well as their specialty drinks like the tahini iced latte. Literally all so amazing. Wish I lived closer to this place! This place is a worthy food experience, has great service and hospitable environment. Hope they stay open for long, long time :)

I don't know why so many good reviews. Went here several times and was excited to try some food,…read morebut couldn't get the menu from anyone. Only thing they seemed to have was sweets but I saw others with savory items. Secret menu? The girl at the register seemed like she was doing me a favor and pretended like there was no other menu. Desserts were ok but nothing extraordinarily different from any other bakery. Also their schedule is weird and they're often closed. Had high hopes based on all these reviews, and the decor is great, but don't see the appeal. Lots of other options around.

Personally I like the grilled peppers and tomatoes a bit more roasted, and prefer virgin olive oil for bread dipping over refined. I also didn't care much for raw shredded carrot in the dish. Everything rlse was done right and was tastrful. Deserts were delicately made. There were great options for vegans and vegetarians too, which is not always common with Turkish fare! The decore was elegant, and though it was not a white cloth restaurant, it conveys the sense of fine dining.

Walked in to a nice coffe bar area which did not seem functional .it well decorated with some antique accents keys if different shapes n sizes We were seated and a waiter took our order immediately. The place was a bit busy for a weekday. Complementary wam pita bread n ezme , sun dried tomatoes n spicy jalapeños were not bad . A paper form being warm there was nothing more to it. Got the mixed grill for two which was served with a side of soup and salad . Both sides were delicious. The grilled chicken kebabs and chops were passable though not juicy . All Lamb kebab choices were tough and chewy . This is a mediocre spot as I age v had better Kebabs in the same area . Not my kind of food.
