First time trying this place under the new management. Ordered döner kebab sandwich. It was very good. Then tried their baklava, very good as well. Service was also very good. They have indoor and outdoor seating. There is plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. I will definitely be back to try other food.

Iskender plate

Great Turkish food, I had the best iskender in this restaurant. I will definitely come back.

Since my last review, the restaurant has changed chefs and menus. This review was right before Ramadan, and was the standard menu. For anyone who was familiar with Castle, this is the same chef and menus. To keep the review simple, most the food was tasty. My particular highlight had to have been the muhammara and tawook. The prices are a bit steep, which is where I personally lose a point.

We loved the food, service was amazing and fast. Restaurant was so clean, and also nice vibe. We were greeted when walked in , friendly staff and all were so nice. We ordered mainly chicken plates . Their Maskhan is authentic 5/5. Kofta Sandwich was 4/5 , they need to make kofta skewer bigger, but taste again DELICIOUS ! Chicken on Charcoal was good, juicy 4/5 . Hummus OOMG ! Finally we have a very nice vibe and delicious food together in one restaurant in Anaheim!!! Also, food portions like Half Maskhan can be for 2 !

As someone who misses Turkish food, finding this restaurant was such a joy. This is my third visit, and they have never disappointed me. The service is consistently excellent, and the staff is always kind, friendly, and welcoming. Every meal I've had here tastes just like home and takes me back to Turkey. The authentic flavors, quality ingredients, and halal menu make this place truly special. I'll definitely keep coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for real Turkish food.

Pistachio baklava
Amelia D.

Where do I start? I discovered this hidden gem when I went to Essential Nails for my mani/pedi. While sitting in the chair, the heavenly aroma of spices and charred meat convinced me to place a to-go order. It quickly became the norm when getting my nails done. Tonight, we decided to eat inside the restaurant. The staff was warm and friendly. We saw these beautiful dishes on other diners' tables and wanted to try them. They did not disappoint! We ended up going with a family style dinner that came with three appetizers, kabobs, rice, grilled vegetables and the fresh baked Turkish pita. They brought us some perfectly brewed Turkish tea, the best pistachio baklava and Turkish ice cream. We will definitely come back! Please support local restaurants

Bread, Muhammad'a, tabbouleh, Turkish tea

Excellent Turkish restaurant hailing from the Antakya (Antioch) region. Very attentive and friendly service. The meze, breads, meats and sweets are all made fresh in house and you can definitely tell! Everything is delicious. Meats and chicken are moist and not overcooked like I so after find elsewhere. We were in the neighborhood but would drive here for this!! Highly recommend!

The food was really delicious! I loved the tea, and the pizza was so tasty. The meat was perfectly cooked--tender and flavorful. Everything was fresh and honestly made me want to come back again!

What happened? Last time I went they had lots of Palestinian dishes that I loved. I do like Turkish food but just confused.

The owner changed . It now Turkish restaurant still offering some Palestinian/ Syrian/ Jordanian dishes.

This caught us by surprise, in the best possible way! We were looking for lunch in the area and…read morestopped by for some protein and mezes. Everything was pretty good, and the place had such an authentic vibe, with so many elements of Istanbul. The owners are Syrian, so the menu offers a mixture of Syrian and Turkish food. And we ordered a lot! And it was pretty expensive. We had babaganoush, dolma, içli köfte, tatziki, beyti, and Syrian kebab. I think the lady who served us was my favorite part of the experience. She was so lovely! We ordered rice pudding for dessert, and she gifted us a muhallebi as well. She makes the desserts herself, and they were SO good- 5/5 for the desserts! Overall, I'd give the mezes and kebabs a 4/5, but the hospitality and her kindness made the experience extra special.

Koftegi gives off a cozy vibe, which was what I was seeking for a weekday dinner. I arrived at the…read morerestaurant at around 6:30 PM and was able to get seated right away; not a lot of parties at the time so we took our time figuring out what to eat. Their menu has a lot of photos, which helped picture what we would get. Sarma Beyti: This is largely the reason why we came to the restaurant. My girlfriend tried this dish at another restaurant years ago and wanted to try it again; while it was my first time having it. I was truly blown away with the combination of spices, tomato, and ground beef all packed together. This also came with a salad which was seasoned but leaned to a more sour taste profile. Kebab Plate: Kebab came with hummus and for the side, I decided to get some french fries. Another great dish to alternate between with the Sarma Beyti. Noteworthy to mention that Pita Bread was included, but I couldn't remember from which dish. It was great to pair with everything else! Kunafa: This was our dessert pick to wrap up the night. The server mentioned it would take about 15 minutes to make and we were good with it. Once it came out, I was impressed with how it looked. It was cheesy and not too sweet. They also gave extra syrup on the side as well. Overall, it was a very positive dining experience throughout. As the night grew, there were more parties that showed up, which added some strain to the staff. It was apparent as the server kept apologizing for their slower service, but I had completely understood. With the level of freshness from the food, you could tell everything was crafted with attention. American Express is accepted here.

If you eat the whole bowl you will be super full, or if you save part of it you will have another meal Prolly been here at least 15x now, every time has been wonderful. Can't go wrong with chicken, fish, shrimp, or beef Vegan options available! I did like the garbanzo beans and they carry a lentil soup. Closed tuesdays ============ One of the most consistent spots for amazing and filling food! Some favs - all their meats are marinaded! #6 chicken bowl - comes with cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, white sauce, + hot sauce (but it's not spicy for me) White fish is cooked wonderfully for a nice crisp outside with tender inside Ribeye is cut a little smaller, but the flavor is there and it is well seasoned Shrimp is also a tasty contender (not huge shrimp, but not teensy tiny) and not plasticky Whether you go with a filling rice bowl, a baguette (soft and chewy), their wrap which is like a bigger version of their "Turkish taco", the taco variety which comes with soft, pliable bread.. cannot go wrong here at all. Kunufe I fell in love with, really enjoy the smaller size that's available for less guilt. Comes with cheese and a not too sweet syrup for a nice sweet, salty sensation. Hot sauce Bae loves it, it's a bit tangy for me Green olives Also a bit tangy for me , but bae loves as well Spinach feta pastry with potato I tried a sample of this and it blew my mind. I'll need to get more when I come back in. Not greasy and it was flakey and I'm drooling thinking of it. There are seats and tables available, but it gets a bit warm inside during the day. At night is no issue. The owner is always friendly and welcoming! Thank you for sharing your food with everyone!! (I swear a wrote a review for this spot..o.o)

I hoped on Yelp and she hopped on Google. Ikram came up pretty quickly for me. We both like Mediterranean food so we drove over. It's in a strip mall with a market and a nail salon. parking was very limited on a Saturday at 2pm. There was just one spot left! We walked in, and many of the tables inside were already taken. We took that to be a good sign! We ordered at the counter, paid and waited for our food. We were spliting the #6 Beef Doner Pide $16.29. Asked them to cut in half for us. Also ordered the donut once I learned that they're made daily on site. The guy at the restaurant was super helpful and warm! He recommended the sutlac (rice pudding) but we were too full. He said those are also made on site. Now the doner - it's very good with lots of beef pieces. All the veggie toppings are very fresh. Eating half was great because these are big servings. I'd love to come back!

Growing up with homemade falafel, I have high standards and yours were absolutely incredible fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. Everything else I ordered was wonderful as well.

On top of the fantastic food the customer service was great all the staff was very helpful Once I arrived I loved to see all the foods you have to offer I thought why not order more items to try. So happy with everything! Plenty of parking right out front. Thank you for taking such obvious pride in what you do. I am so glad to have found your business and look forward to coming back soon! 5 STARS ++ Falafel Chicken Döner
