My only oops was that they don't serve any wine, so next time, I'll come packing! Service was great, I'm pretty sure that the chef/owner did it all. It's a cute little space, definitely give this little place a try!

The food is phenomenal, they have a family combo for four that is perfect for a family of 4-6 people, the portions are so large we always have leftovers. Amazing baklava, hummus and baba ganoush.

We were greeted and seated right away. Service throughout was warm and attentive, our server checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good. They started us with warm, crispy bread and a yogurt-based dip that was quite flavorful. I ordered the lamb shish kebab platter (well done), and we also tried the chicken shish kebab platter. Both came with buttery rice, a fresh salad drizzled with olive oil, and yogurt sauce. The chicken was tender and properly seasoned, but the lamb was the highlight. Lamb can easily turn dry or overly gamey if not handled right, but this was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor even when cooked well done, exactly how a good shish kebab should be. I skipped dessert this time, though they offer a few options, and I noticed what appeared to be a buffet setup, which I'm curious to try next. Overall, a solid, well executed Mediterranean meal. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

The pistachio baklava is the best we've had in DFW. It's very light, airy, and has the best texture without being overly sweet or using too much syrup. The kunefe is also really good and is very crispy and pairs well with the syrup and cheese. Highly recommend!

The nightly performances are as rich and varied as the menu itself, spanning cold and warm mezzes, comforting soups, refreshing salads, filling pides, savory kebabs, and sweet kunefe.

This is not just dinner -- it's a multi-hour vacation. If you're looking for a quick bite, this is probably not the place for you. But if you have the time and are seeking a great meal paired with marvelous diversions, Turkish Cafe and Lounge offers a delightful escape from the ordinary.
