Located in Hilltop Plaza, this Mediterranean restaurant immediately makes you feel like you've stepped into a different place. The decor, music, and even the food products they have at the counter really add to the atmosphere. We were immediately greeted, helped, and seated. The service was impeccable. Our waitress checked in on us the perfect amount. She was attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the baba ghanoush and the beef kebab platter, and both were really good! I'll admit I've had better, which is why I'm giving this place 4 stars, but overall, I had a great experience. The food, atmosphere, and service definitely make this a place I'll be coming back to!

The décor is interesting and looks like a Turkish market - Really nicely done! They weren't busy when we went in and our server immediately greeted us and let us sit where we wanted. He was great at taking care of us during our stay and explained the menu and the way they prepare food just perfectly! They had some very interesting and unique items on the menu, some I'd never even heard of before and that sounded very appetizing! I decided to go with kabob and selected an Adana Kabob, which is beef and a chicken shish kabob. The beef kebab was spiced nicely and tender, definitely not dry nor overcooked, which can be common with these thin style ground meat kabobs. The chicken was flavored nicely and very tender and moist. The rice was nice and had a decent flavor too. We also tried their hummus which was really good and it came with their homemade bread, rather than a pita bread. The bread was really good, very nicely done, tasty, and soft! Their hummus was flavored nicely and they had a spicy dip which had a great flavor too. To finish, we opted for some rice pudding and their Turkish coffee. The coffee was great! Definitely not bitter and that pudding was very flavorful too! Loved this visit and would love to return to try more items from their amazing menu!

They seemed rather chaotic when I arrived and it appeared that one very pleasant gentleman was literally juggling and balancing all of the customers! He did offer his apologies more than once because it seemed a guy like me sitting alone in the corner was almost an afterthought. He did explain the soups ... I went for the chicken soip and had already decided on the beef schwarma. The chicken soup was reminiscent of a good Jewish Deli chicken soup with enough goodies in the broth and big chunks of chicken yet the broth was the star. The schwarma was really good too. Somewhat different than others I have enjoyed but different in a good sense A small container of food tasting hummus completed the meal At check out ... well with more than one set of apologies I was an afterthought.

Actually, there is ample seating, but I can see it being overwhelmed on a busy Saturday. Before your first visit, you would benefit by looking at the menu beforehand. We were warmly greeted. You let the counter server know what you want and they make your creation in front of you. They'll ask if you want it to go or to eat in and they will serve accordingly. One coworker ordered a wrap and wolfed it down so fast - it must have been delicious. I didn't get a chance to ask what he had. My other co-worker ordered the beef and lamb bowl with a base of mixed greens, adding onions, cucumbers, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce. He also shared his hummus and pita chips with us. The hummus is exactly what you would expect - creamy and seasoned perfectly. The chips were a tiny bit oily, but I wasn't complaining. The texture - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside - made you want to eat a big bag of them. I ordered the beef and lamb bowl with a base of yellow rice. They were generous with both. For my toppings, I chose pickled red cabbage, tomatoes, and feta cheese. For the sauces, I chose tzatziki and tahini. Every forkful was a tasty, savory bite. It was all so yummy and fresh. I was eating faster than normal because it was just so good and forced myself to slow down. All the flavors complemented each other. I could have gorged myself and finished that bowl but asked for a lid so I could take my leftovers home. I can't wait to repeat that scrumptious journey. For my next visit, I will ask for less rice and more red cabbage. As an eggplant lover, I would love to try their baba ganoush (plus it's so fun to say baba ganoush). For the typical working lunch, it's not inexpensive (with can soda, mine came out to $22.38) compared to fast food. But it's worth it and you are worth it. You are getting large portions of quality food that will make your mouth sing. I'd gladly bring in a sandwich from home twice a week in order to eat here. This gem is such a great addition to the restaurant scene here. Please stop by and try their dishes. If you enjoy it - spread the word so others can enjoy it too. You will not be disappointed. I can't wait to come back. It might be tomorrow . . .

So I got the burger and fries, a s'mores cookie and a lemon cookie. I also got pita chips with hummus. While I waited I looked around because they also have a small store with different Mediterranean food like olives, feta, hummus, canned foods, and etc. The burger was a good portion. It was good but bland. I wish it was more flavor. The fries were good and so was the hummus. The cookies were ok as well. I like the food from Azar's but I'll probably skip the burger next time and get a platter or wrap, I enjoyed those before. The staff were friendly and they have a dine in section in the restaurant. Check them out!!

And I just got a salad and appetizer. I've never had Turkish food before, so take my review with that in mind...but IT WAS SO GOOD. This was the best hummus I've ever had. It was so....just, flavorful. And fresh. I could tell someone MADE it with their own two hands. The baba ghanoush had a nice smokey flavor, the lebni tasted just like tzatziki except better...vibrant. The pita was nice and warm. The dolma rolled tight and stuffed well (I really wanted more than 2, but wasn't going to be greedy and order another whole side of it...rookie mistake. Won't happen again). The salad was also strangely delicious. I mean it was just a salad...but the walnuts, the mixed greens, the dries cranberries, the feta, carrots, apple....it all went together so incredibly well. It's not something I usually order, but I really wanted some veggies and this gave me exactly what I needed. I sorta feel like I gave myself a B12 shot. This was also my first time having Turkish coffee. I'll admit, I googled how to drink it cause I was confused by the little "pebbles" that came on the side. Yeah, nah, those are chocolates. And when you take a sip of the hot, kinda bitter coffee and then eat a chocolate?! Yes, please! You know it's gonna be strong when they bring out a tiny serving of it, too. Perfect way to end my meal. (Also, your entire mouth will absolutely burst into flames if you try the coffee as soon as it's delivered. Do yourself a favor and order it with the rest of your meal, let it sit covered while you eat, and then drink it at the end. If you're new here, like I am, you're welcome.) I came in about an hour after they opened, so it was empty (more people came in as I was eating and finishing my meal). The seating was very comfortable, the wait staff was helpful and attentive. There's some cute decorations around the room that made me want to ask questions about the culture, but, again....too busy eating. Now that I'm gone and writing this, I wish I'd given them a bigger tip. My tip wasn't small, but it also didn't adequately express how much I really enjoyed that meal. I hope more people try this place out and keep it in business for a long time. I realize I ordered probably the most basic thing you can get: a salad and a plate of dips lol but man it was all just so good. Next time I'll go for a couple dishes that I'm not sure how to pronounce. THANK YOU FOR FEEDING ME!

No regrets there -- that naan understood the assignment. When I try a new Indian spot, I always go with butter chicken as my baseline. I ordered mine "medium hot" because I like spice, but I like flavor more than I like questioning my life choices while sweating through dinner. The flavor was great, portion of rice was HUGE (like... rice for days), but the spice level? Let's just say it politely waved at me from across the room. Next time, we're going full "Indian hot." My friend got the chicken tikka amritsari, which came in one of those elite takeout containers with the little compartments -- we love organization. It looked amazing: chicken, veggies, sauce, the whole situation. He ordered "Indian hot" and... same story. Delicious, but not exactly setting off the fire alarm. He enjoyed it, just wished it brought a little more heat. Only downside: dinner prices for takeout were a bit on the higher side. But overall, really good food -- we just learned that next time, when they say spicy... we need to say spicier.
