    Manti: Homemade dumplings. Dough stuffed with ground meat, onions and spices. Served with garlic yogurt sauce, topped with spices
    Sarah K.

    Stopped in a little after 1pm on a Saturday. We were the only table until one other couple came in closer to 1:45. The service was good, she was very kind, brought Turkish tea after the meal, and even packed our leftovers for us at the table. We started with the CIGAR BOREK, very delicious. Then we shared the KUSBASILI PIE and MANTI. Both were good. If we lived closer, we would probably return.

    Beautiful restaurant. A date night restaurant. The food came out slow, so allow extra time, perfect for chatting and relaxing. The food was delicious. Cooked for and by people of the region. The lamb kebab was excellent. No rushing of the grilling process resulted in a not jerky like exterior. Anatolia special was nicely prepared and paired. Everything went well together.

    Loved it here! Just happened to stop for lunch before catching a flight to JFK. The food was all delicious, the options were so many and the portions were very good. We tried a salad, the mixed maze plate, and the lamb chops. All was phenomenal. The service was even better, they were all kind and thoughtful Fun ambiance too. Love it here and will definitely stop again before my next flight!

    On a whim, stopped here for lunch. On the outside, the restaurant is unassuming, but the inside is very plush and the decor is cool without being ostentatious. All of this is nothing, though, compared to the service. Alice was as kind as could be and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The food was second to none, and although I know it's not for everyone, I would suggest the Calf Liver appetizer. The grape leaves were great as well as the bread and tzatziki. We also had cheese wrapped in phyllo which was delightful. For the entree I had the lamb combination plate with bulgur. Excellent! Finished the meal with, of course, Turkish coffee. Try this place out - you won't regret it.

    We went on a rainy Saturday afternoon and waited a few minutes to be seated. No one was standing by the door when we first came in. Our dishes came out fast and even the gratis Turkish bread was really good. The lamb andana was kind of salty and gamey. I highly recommend the mixed appetizer. We were also given complimentary Turkish tea and baklava. The leftovers didn't warm up well so definitely best to eat the meal right away.

    DO NOT GO HERE! The staff discriminated against us because our party of friends included our Black friend and our LGBTQ+ friend. Why do I say this? Because I was here a little over a week ago (all party members were South Asian) and received amazing service. My best friend (South Asian) also came here with her family and friends (South Asian) in the past and received great service. We were both shocked at the horrible service we received today, when our party was comprised of South Asians as well as our Black friend and our LGBTQ+ friend, both of whom received subtle looks from patrons and staff alike. We made reservations for a party of 5 and were seated quickly. The waitress came over AFTER we had to flag her down but we chalked it up to them being a bit busy. We ordered an appetizer and entrees, and waited for OVER AN HOUR for our appetizer, which never came. The appetizer was a mixed app of hummus, babaganoush, pita, and other cold dips, which should not have taken OVER AN HOUR to bring out. The waitress who took our order never checked up on us or offered an explanation for why we hadn't received any food, and the one we did manage to flag down (AFTER AN HOUR) seemed less than interested in helping us and gave an attitude. We spoke to her about the appetizer and waited an additional 10 minutes with no appetizer. Overall, it was horrible service from staff that didn't seem to care about service because gratuity is automatically included in the bill. They didn't seem to care about serving our party overall and ignored us for the most part, only coming over when we flagged them down. The horrible service coupled with the looks my LGBTQ+ and Black friends received are enough to make me never come back here or ever recommend it to anyone because of their discrimination!

When we sat down, we were served pita and tzatziki sauce. It was good! We ordered off of the lunch special. I had the Kubideh Kabab and my friend had the boneless chicken Kabab. The kababs were not dried out and they were very tasty, well seasoned, and not salty! With the lunch special, you get a choice of lentil soup or salad. I went with the soup and I'm glad I did! It really hit the spot since I haven't been feeling very good lately. We shared an appetizer of falafels. To be honest, it was a bit too dry for me. The service was great and our waitress was very nice. She gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and order. The restaurant is quiet overall but there isn't a lot of seating available. There's a shared parking lot but it's crowded. The food was amazing but I don't like looking for parking when I'm hungry. Just kidding. I'll stop by again!

We had already looked on the menu online and knew what we wanted to order. However, they gave us a pre-fix menu and stated that we could only order from the Mother's Day menu. It was 1 appetizer, 1 entree, soda or tea for $55 per person. If you look at the regular menu prices, this exceeds what it cost for 1 entree and 1 appetizer. We got the cheese rolls, liver, & mixed appetizer which were all shareable portions. After we were done with appetizers, it took over an hour to get our entrees. The waiter checked in and it seemed that he never gave the kitchen our orders or completely forgot about them because the food was luke warm. We got the lamb chops, chicken shish, & branzino. The chicken and tender and juicy. The branzino was light and flaky. Everything was well seasoned and the rice & salad were also tasty. The lamb chops were over cooked and a bit dry. Overall, I would say don't come here on a day you know will be busy. You may not get to order the dishes you want, experience poor service, and deal with an overpriced menu. For $55, they should have included a baklava for dessert or something.
