    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.

    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

    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.

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)

Now I will be craving the delicious Aleppo hot sauce knowing I have to brave a nightmare parking lot. It's a teeny tiny parking lot with odd angles and bottlenecks with a surprising amount of restaurants sharing it. Makes zero sense. After circling three times I dropped my wife off and parked across the street risking getting towed. There's a ton of construction so hopefully more parking is on the way. That said, food is outstanding. Service was also perfection. Cuisine here is from Syria so there a lot of interesting dishes I haven't seen before. We started with deep fried spring rolls stuffed with akkawi cheese imported from Syria. Expensive but order it. I ordered the "khashkhash" kabob plate which was 4 grilled kefta kabobs served on a surprisingly spicy sauce of tomatoes and Aleppo peppers. It was served with a mound of buttery rice sprinkled with Aleppo peppers and a cabbage salad. Honestly the best kabops I've ever had. Absolutely loved the flavors. I devoured the whole plate while eyeing the parking lot across the street for tow trucks. Portion could easily be shared. My wife went with the Gyro flatbread. I scoffed saying "this isn't a Greek restaurant" but the joke was on me because I was envious. House made flat bread topped with gyro, tzatziki, pickled onions, tomatoes, feta, sumac, and Aleppo peppers. I took a few bites and retracted my previous scoff. They had a large list of mocktails. I had the Vimto Mojito and my wife had the margarita. Both creative and flavorful. Lastly I tried the "Ashta" for dessert. It's an Aleppo signature per the menu and is a pudding like dessert of clotted cream, pistachio, strawberries, and honey. It's simple yet satisfying. Took me a few bites to acquire the flavor but I loved it more with each bite. My wife didn't care for it. They moved by Angel Stadium from their Brookhurst spot. Great place except the parking. Reservations are odd too. $25 penalty PER PERSON if you miss your reservation. It was definitely motivation to find parking.
