How I heard of this place: On a visit to Bellingham a couple of years ago, my sister and mother…read moretold us about this new Turkish cafe downtown with sweet reminiscences of our visits to Turkey. We simply had to give it a try. And continue coming back. Type of cuisine: Turkish fare - from simit and borek, to cardamom or pistachio infused Turkish coffee, apricot and apple teas, baklava and lokum. We have always loved the foods, mostly imported directly from Turkey. Ambiance: Sweet and cozy, the space is full of beautiful Turkish art/craft - from lighting to seating, from merchandise to the tasty treats served, we love our bay window benches and small, tiled tables that barely hold everything we order. The brother-owners are always wreathed in smiles and humble, grateful service. The music is soft, but always a surprise - sometimes Turkish, sometimes rock, sometimes jazzy, always fun and unobtrusive. We also love the huge barrel "tables" used as outdoor seating under a covered "patio". What I ordered: I was sad to hear that they no longer make/serve their refreshing and lovely apricot tea, so I chose a sweet cardamom coffee. My sister each chose a turkish coffee and pistachio coffee. A hot chocolate for my husband and two apple teas for the children. We ordered one of each selection of baklava available - pistachio, walnut, chocolate pistachio, halva and another walnut treat. Not to mention peach and blackberry lokum. We also ordered a potato & cheese sandwich; they ran out of the bread so substituted potato borek topped with cheese for our savory snack. What I loved: Always the service; quiet, humble, spot on. The coffee is truly magnificent and fully takes you back to Turkey. The baklava is sweet and soaked in honey, just like the cafes in Istanbul, and the beautiful lighting mesmerizes each of us every time. Why I loved it: It's always a little escape entering the doors of Ashuri, and like a mini vacation in a home away from home. Cost: Average

Looks like the previous pho place died and is now a Turkish restaurant…read more Parking is available on Hastings, as well as the side streets. There are 2 entrances to the restaurant. The main entrance has several steps. Much easier to enter from the "side" entrance which doesn't have steps. The inside is nice and large. Great view of the street. About half the seating area is raised by a few steps. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. They have typical dishes such as kebabs and donairs, as well as "traditional" meal section. I tried the roast lamb. It was pretty decent. Some may consider it a bit bland, but I would say it reminds me of home cooking. Served with salad, rice, and pita. My buddy tried the sac tava (meat stir fry) and said it was really delicious. Guess I'll try that next time. Pricing is reasonable, and quality is decent. I'd come back again. Recommended.

This place is hideous and they know it. Let me explain…read more I ask for a chicken shawarma at 5:30 pm on a Friday, the place is empty. I pay for it and they send me to the toppings counter to select what I want in the shawarma. I tell him what toppings I want and then he says ok, " have a seat" .?? I guess he will bring the sandwich to my table? Wrong. I sit at a table and then when it is ready they call me to come and get it. .? They had me sit at a table so that I would not see what they put in the shawarma. You know how they normally cut it off a big hunk of delicious smokey meat on a vertical cooking thing? Not here. The meat is from a metal drawer and once assembled it gets squeezed flat in a grill like a panini. Ugh, never again.

There were large chunks of tender beef, veggies, and sauce. I believe the man said both garlic and tzatziki sauces were in it. Anyhow, the wrap was delicious! You can customize the veggies you want - I went all in, although next time I may skip the pickles. Service is friendly and the place is bright and clean. Don't know if it makes a difference, but when I was there, there were at least 2 families of middle eastern descent dining there. A little but of street cred maybe? I highly recommend trying out this place!

Just stuck with some tried and true favourites, but came with some friends who hadn't tried it before. The huge slab of piping hot bread definitely raised their eyebrows just as it had done for us when we came in previously. I suggested we all share a small order of the Mixed Plate appetizer, so we did that and there was still plenty left over for me to bring home. My favourite dip in the Mixed Plate is the Babaghannush. I love it so much that I decided to have a separate order of Babaghannush as my main entree! My daughter ordered her beloved Cheese Lovers Pide again, while our friends ordered their own Cheese Lovers Pide as well as a Greek Salad and an order of the Lamb Chops. This is a great place to introduce people to Turkish food.

This place is located within Saray Turkish restaurant and is TAKE OUT ONLY! This set up is…read moreprobably going to cause issues because it's pretty confusing. You can order takeout or dine-in for Saray but you can only order takeout for Noon. I saw some people walk in and be seated only to want the Persian cuisine and be turned away because no sit down for the Iranian food is offered. (Different owners, different rules and arrangements I suppose) If you can get past that and are ok with takeout the food was amazing. Portion size for the price was very well received. We ordered the Joojeh and lamb chops and both were cooked and tasted EXCELLENT. I forgot to take a picture of the lamb chops but I assure you they were done perfectly. There's a lamb above the chops on the menu which is actually rack of lamb that doesn't specifically state that in the description so if your in for a rack don't worry they have that too.

Two men were cooking and serving, both were engaged and seemed to be enjoying making the food. They had smiles on their faces when they saw how much we were enjoying the food. Good Job Guys! This is a small restaurant in a strip mall offering seating for maybe 8-10 people. Does a brisk takeaway business with the donairs.

First, the couscous is not the usual couscous we've all had. This is Lebanese couscous, which is so different as to be unrecognizable as "couscous". It is so very good, I could have a whole meal of that and be happy. I generally prefer baked falafels, but this fried one was great; crispy on the outside, and soft and green on the inside. I've avoided dolma in the past, as I had it once years ago and it was terrible. But this dolma was good enough for me to stop avoiding it in the future. People were very nice, and it took less than 10 minutes for my order to be ready. It's a grocery store with a deep selection of many items, such as spices, pastas, canned fish, .... (see photos). I enjoyed this enough, I came back again about a week later for another Sampler Plate meal. My only slight peeves are, I wish there were a bit more to the salad (which isn't even listed as one of the sampler items, so a bit hard to complain!), and that the pita had some whole grains in it (I find white wheat boring).
