I will start this as I always do by saying I do not give out five stars unless I am really blown away. This place was phenomenal. The best Turkish cuisine I've ever had. Considering this is the first time I have had Turkish cuisine I don't have anything to compare to. But I do know that the food was fantastic. The service was awesome and I want to come back already, even though I'm so full. Yum is casual. It has like family owned restaurant/small bakery feel. I did not get any of the bakery treats, but they looked amazing. I've told they're all made from scratch. The food itself was fantastic. We ordered the Lahmacun as an appetizer. I could've eaten just that and been satisfied. It was like a flap bread with ground meat seasoning on it that you roll up and eat. It was delicious highly recommend. I ordered Ezo Gelin or lentil soup if you will. Lots of flavors, not spicy at all, and it comes with this amazing bread to dip into it. And for the entrée, which at this point I really didn't need to eat because I was so full Beyti Kebab. It was this ground beef seasoned kebab, wrapped in thin dough that had some sort of tomato sauce on it and yogurt in the middle of the whole thing to dip in. I could not stop eating it no matter how full I got. All in all this was an amazing dining experience that I've never had as I've never tried Turkish cuisine before. I will come back to this location again and recommend it to you if you've never tried Turkish food here's a good place to start. read more

I usually am not a Mediterranean food person but this Turkish spot which opened within the past year has brought back some interest in this cuisine in the way of kabobs, baba ghanoush, and flat breads. Located on West Henrietta near the mattress store, it is part of the movement of middle eastern eats that have increased in presence in Henrietta recently including Layali coffee house down the street. Highly recommend. Mom/pop store kind of feel, very casual, and unassuming. it's definitely on the end of hole in the wall, no frills. Greatest hits to order here: chicken kabob (best in my opinion of all their meats), the baba ghanoush is a good one, pair with a turkish tea, and must pistachio/nut type of dessert from their giant counter of bakes. Meats: get the giant platter of a little bit of everything. That will feed 2 people for sure. Must get that baba ghanoush. This place advertises their Pide which is a pizza but I found these options pretty heavy on dough and oil, which is not my thing but may be good for the pizza/dough lover. Drinks: must get that turkish red tea. Its basically just good red hot tea served in a glass delicate looking cup that makes you feel like you're in some Arabian Nights royal. Dessert- I've tried almost all the baklava and nut bakes by now. Did not like the pistachio cake. Couldn't tell if it was stale or if that was how it's supposed to be Service each time is warm with the servers not being overly chatty, loud, or hovering. If anything especially at dinner, the servers look quite tired as it's usually only 1-2 people and the place is super crowded. Last order of the night is 8 pm. The food comes relatively fast actually. read more

Not a fancy restaurant but fantastic and authentic Turkish food and hospitality! From the moment we walked in the owner treated us like family. He made suggestions from the menu and from that point on the food just kept coming! Everything was delicious and we were stuffed , but we couldn't leave without taking some baked goods home with us. The baklava and cookies were as good as they looked! Definitely recommend this place. read more

Tried two different types of pide and the lebni. Everything was very flavorful! We will definitely be coming back.

I discovered this place on my business trip to Rochester and now this is my go to place every time I go to Rochester. The place is welcoming to sit and dine and the staff is very polite. Even when I do a takeaway the food is packaged well. The quality of the food is excellent. Highly recommended. The only thing I can say negative is that they pack their wonderful bread in the same container for a takeout which makes the bread soggy. read more

This place came highly recommeded to me by a self proclaimed foodie. I was excited to try it, a bit of foodie myself. When I walked in staff were busy then disappeared. i got someones attention. he just looked at me: confused. i asked "how does this work (as if to say do i seat myself, order here, there...), brief silence..i asked "are yall open?" though i could see a couple tables filled with people eating...maybe a private party i thought. He said "yes" Pause. I said, "can i eat?" He said "yes" and looked at tables. I sat at a table that had a couple dirty cups pushed to the side. Most tables looked dirty but this one wasnt bad. It took him a while to ask me for order. I only knew what I wanted because I found a menu tucked between seat and wall. Thankfully I googled the dishes I wanted so i didnt need to ask questions. the waiter didnt seem to be interested in this type of conversation. For appetizer, i originally ordered lebni but they were out, they were out of cacik too (my 2nd choice). Waiter encouraged me to get hummus and baba ganoush. Eventually my hot, fresh food came out. It was soooo good! I chalked up the initial encounter to culture maybe. But then I finished meal and set it to the side to bring half home. And I waited...and waited. I was busy with some personal things on my phone so was able to pass time as i went solo. Well, the waiter didnt check on me at all after the food arrived. I saw people cash out at register with him...so maybe i needed to stand up and do the same. I was able to get him to give me a box and let him know I'd like to pick a dessert and pay out. He said "ok, just wait". He took care of other guests..and other guests...and other guests and then he disappeared. I got the eye of another gentleman that came to clean tables. This gentleman was very nice and said "you've been waiting the whole time? I'm soo sorry". I told him the other guy said he'd help me over 30min ago. I picked a couple desserts and he added a few of his favorite cookies for free for the waiting. He told me about what ingrediants they included with pride, interest, and respect. I was the only English-only speaking person that I saw come and go that I was aware of. I can't help but wonder if the 1st man was discriminating against me. While the 2nd man was very courteous and the food was on point...and I love trying new-to-me authentic international flavors..I am not sure if I'm ok to go back...maybe just get a To-go order or maybe I'm just not welcome. I was there about 2 hours total, most of my time was spent waiting. Oh, those dirty cups ...were still at my table when I left...from the previous customers. This was simply my experience this evening. I do wish the business well and hope others do not experience the same. read more

We began our dinner with dessert, as Santa would! When you walk into "AsEvi", the first thing that greets you are two dessert counters loaded with goodies that look almost too good to eat! We selected an assortment of treats from the delicacy of desserts. The dining room is simple with booths along the wall and some tables in the center. The restaurant appeared to be family run, friendly and it was a bit difficult to get the attention of someone to serve us at times. The food however, made the slight inconvenience worth the wait. Delicious grilled meats (beef, chicken, doner sausage), fresh salad and amazing flavors! Be careful of the jalapeño, they are SPICY! Well seasoned and piping hot French fries. We would definitely come back for all of the foods! Satisfying. Savory. Scrumptious. read more

For Mother's Day, my wife wanted a Turkish breakfast. She was recalling a previous year where we took the kids to a small cafe that had a Turkish menu. That cafe has since gone, but I was delighted to find Aş Evi since my own attempts to make her a "Turkish-inspired" breakfast were... unsuccessful. We were the first customers of the day and felt very welcome. Our hostess was patient in explaining the menu items to us and we decided to go with the larger of the two Turkish breakfasts. It was a massive array of food -- like a plussed-up version of the Turkish breakfast we had years ago. The breads were warm and fresh, and the cheeses and dips were plentiful. Due to our seat across from the bakery case, we knew we'd be taking some items back for the kids. So we picked out some treats before paying our check. I'm so happy that a place like this exists in Rochester. High quality, authentic food and a family-run friendly feel. read more

Aş Evi (2) is located in Henrietta, NY and is the second location of this restaurant. It's run by a family from the Karadeniz Region of Turkey and offers the same wonderful selection of food as their first location plus a huge selection of dessert. Both locations, in my opinion, offer amazing food that is on par and even better than many restaurants in Turkey. When you walk in, you feel like you're eating at a small restaurant in Istanbul or Ankara. Whenever I'm missing Turkey, I come back here and instantly feel at home. This was the first time trying this location and I ordered my favorites, the lahmacun and the beyti kebap. Both were amazing as always. We ended the meal with the baklava, which is also lovely and paired well with çay. The family of the restaurant is lovely and truly feel like my own family after all of these years. I highly recommend a visit. It's well worth the hour drive from Buffalo. 10/10. read more

What a great find! My husband and I stopped in on a Saturday night. Our server patiently answered our questions about the menu and was very attentive. Dinners came piping hot. My chicken kabobs were delicious and my husband enjoyed his Kiymali Pide with Ground Meat. The rice is yummy and worth mentioning. Servings were large so we needed take-out boxes. We also took a delicious dessert nibble home- sweet dough balls soaked in honey. Prices were reasonable and the small dining area was spotless. 4 stars because water is not served. You can purchase bottled water from a cooler filled with canned and bottled beverages. The "feel" is like a small diner, but very warm. Like mentioned, when you walk in, there are two dessert cases filled with tempting baked treats and chocolates.We will be back! read more

Only got desserts at this location. Still worth it. Go to the Irondequoit location for the full experience because the food is incredible.

So delicious I'm in a full food coma - just couldn't stop eating! Fantastic mixed grill - all meat really tender and well spiced, and delicious Turkish dumplings. Absolutely huge portions too - definitely recommend. read more

Food was ok but service was less than stellar, and the price point was ridiculous. I was looking for a Turkish breakfast place that was similar to one I went to recently in Pittsburgh. When we walked in it was empty and I thought they were not open but after a while an employee who was talking on the phone realized we were there, and we tell him we are here for breakfast. He points to a table and we sit for a while with no menus no water nothing. There was no one around. After 15 minutes we get some plates and silverware. And then maybe 10 minutes later food starts to come out. He asked if we are sharing and we say yes. The quality of the food and bread was good, it was a traditional Turkish breakfast with some eggs as well. No one really checks in and we have to find someone to cash out and get some boxes. The total cost was wild. It was $25 per person, so our bill was $56 with tax just for some bread, eggs and dips. I was not planning on spending this much on breakfast to be honest. In Pittsburgh it was $24 for TWO people and we had excellent service and more food. I should have looked this up before hand but it was so strange not to get a menu or anything at all and then pay a surprise amount. It just felt a bit weird and I left feeling like the experience was just not worth it. read more

The people, who work here are very good and have outstanding character. I love doing business here & highly recommend Evi. read more

Ate dinner there on 4/9 with 3 relatives. We shared the Manti, Sac Kavurma, Mixed Grill, and Lahmacun (3 pieces), plus one Ayran and water for everyone. They loved everything. I did, too, although the manti and ayran were not my favorites. I was a little surprised that water was not included but was served bottled for a small price, but no matter. It was an absolutely delicious dinner for about $100 before tip. Highly recommended. read more
