Always have good food here. Recommended to us by a Turkish Uber driver when we were first in Seattle, this place gets very busy, and for good reason. read more

I come to Cafe Turko every few months, and am never left disappointed with the food or service! My personal favorites are the manti and any of the pide. I even took my mom here (who only enjoys eating Pakistani food) and she was a huge fan. We got the seven spice fries, grilled chicken pide, and Ali Nazik with chicken. The waitress was very friendly and attentive, despite it being a busy night. The restaurant owners also did a wonderful job of creating a quiet prayer area, so I never have to worry about missing prayer when I'm there :) read more

I adore this spot! We started with the beet hummus with warm pita bread and it's a must try. My friend and I both ordered the lamb kebab dish and it was on point. The lamb was so juicy and mouth-watering with so much flavor. The food is truly authentic Antep cuisine, which is a specific region in Turkiye that is known to have the best food. The service was prompt and excellent. There's such a vibrant and warm ambiance, my friend and I loved our experience! read more

This cafe is walking distance from a few tech companies like Google, Adobe, and Tableau. I have been going there since 2012 to meet my techie friends or to have great food. The cafe gets really busy during lunch time, especially on Fridays, but they have so many tables, so chances are you can get a table if you wait a few minutes. If you drive there, try to get there ~15 minutes early because parking in that area is really tough. read more

7/10: had a good time with the turkish food here, but prices felt pretty steep for what i had. would probably not come back here again unless specifically craving turkish food! we got the lamb pide for $22 and a sour cherry and lime fizz for $5. the pide was good; i enjoyed how crispy the crust was. i did really enjoy the ambiance of the place and the interior design. i can imagine the restaurant feeling very cozy had we gone at a busier hour. read more

Do not order catering from here. I ordered lunch for my team and they completely missed one of the salads as well as one of the proteins that was included in the lunch buffet (#2). They argued with EzCater that they delivered all of the items but that was a LIE. Was barely able to get a discount from them and we didn't even have enough food for everyone so had to order from somewhere else. I told them they should send the person who delivered the food to see if we received all the items since they didn't believe me. They said they couldn't bring the missing items because they didn't have enough drivers, then maybe you shouldn't be in the catering business. The food was good but the stress of trying to fight them for missing items isn't worth it. Going back to Petra, the food is great and at least they are good at responding and make sure all the items are delivered. UPDATE: The owner randomly decided to come to my office to apologize. I was leaving the office but forgot something and came back. She was waiting in the lobby (didn't say anything to anyone). Honestly it was weird that she would randomly show up and it was a very awkward encounter. She said that EzCater were the ones that were lying about the amount of refund but why would they need to lie? The entire thing was bizarre and I'd rather avoid a similar situation. read more

I came here during lunch. It was very quiet and empty when we got here and by the time we left, the place was packed, so come early or make a reservation. We ordered a hummus sampler for the table and I ordered a vegan pite. The hummus sampler was really good. I especially enjoyed whatever flavor the green was one. The pumpkin hummus and the beet hummus were ok, but a little on the sweeter side and I'm more partial to savory items. The original was also good. The vegan pite was really tasty. The bread base was balanced out well with the flavorful toppings. It tasted kind of like a Mediterranean pizza and I really enjoyed it. read more

Clean, beautiful, and good mediterranean food. The Rainbow Hummus plate is definitely a must-have. Falafels are spot on and the Turkish Lentil soup is on the saltier side, but still delicious. Their salads come in a decent portion, good enough to share amongst friends. The Beyti kebab in beef and chicken are both good, but not mind-blowing. Nonetheless, this spot has great options for those who are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free. Thanks :) read more

I love the decor, makes it so u our and Iniviting. Upon many reviews, I had to try the rainbow hummus appetizer and I'm very glad I did. The hummus, each were so flavorful, there wasn't one flavor that I didn't like. It's not too sweet or too salty and it's just so smooth. The nan bread that came with it was fresh and fluffy. It was truly delicious! I also got their Beyti. It was flavorful with the dip and crunchy as expected! I wish the Beyti itself had more flavor, but this could be due to the fact that I got eggplant instead of a protein. read more

It's a nice place with wonderful service. I had a delicious salad with toasted vegetables and crisp lettuce that was perfectly seasoned and surprisingly filling. Others tried the pide (Turkish pizza) which was equally good. Prices seemed a bit high but I guess everything is these days. read more

The atmosphere of this place is super pretty, it very well decorated and the staff is very welcoming- our waitress was super nice and attentive with my husband and I. Parking is street parking, we got lucky with parking right at the front! They also have a bathroom available. I got the lentil soup (super yummy!) with a pistachio coffee and my husband got the lamb meat plate. read more

Firstly, the food here was amazing. We shared the bread, hummus and something made from chick peas that was really tasty. My main was Adans Kebab with a mixture of lamb and beef. There were many other good things to choose from. Secondly, the staff was very attentive, friendly and efficient and made me feel appreciated. The ambience was great, a lot of decoration on the walks and ceiling. Really highly recommended. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Seattle. We actually learned of Cafe Turko through takeout (which tells you, the food was solid) and once we were able to dine-in we visited during Ramadan. The cafe itself is incredibly well-decorated and even allows you to pray in a back room. Everyone is incredibly friendly and the owner makes rounds to check-in on customers which is so sweet. We've tried much of the menu, but my favorites/recommendations include the Suleyman Plate, Beyti Kebab, Turkish Coffee and Baklawa (just the right amount of sweetness). read more

Took this down from three to two, they stopped including the red sauce with the beyti kebab so I stopped going for a while. I went back recently and the prices went way up like insanely up. It was $50 for two entries of beyti kebabs. Unaffordable among many other options. read more

Visit for: - Muhamarra - Turkish Coffee - GREAT Kababs - Vibe The hummus was flat - no flavor. Other than that, everything we ordered was amazing. Lamb Kofte Kababs were super juicy and tasty. Kunafeh was juuuuust right - crispy and not too sweet. Muhamarra is just like how you get it in the middle east! Absolutely must have in Fremont - the ambiance adds to the authenticity of the place! In fact, I would take someone from out of town here to enjoy their delicious food. read more

This place is so good! I think there's some items that are better than others, but that's to be expected. I'd stay away from the lamb kabobs, as they made my grandma really sick. Otherwise, the food and service is so delicious. One of my favorite places! You have to try the birds nest for dessert! It's so yummy!! Also the kebab appetizer is amazing. It's like a wrap with meat, feta cheese, lettuce, and tomato. read more

BEYTI KEBABS & MANTI @cafeturko 750 N 34th St, Seattle, WA * When we were moving out of Seattle area, we knew that there were certain places we had to make sure we hit up. One of them was @cafeturko . We would pass by @cafeturko all the time on our runs around the neighborhood, walks to Gasworks, and drives to UW area. It was always packed and bustling whenever we passed by. It's safe to say after our first visit, we instantly regretted waiting this long to check out @cafeturko . * @cafeturko is a small business that offers a genuine Turkish experience. From the decor, inviting staff, vast menu options, and delicious food - it's truly a gem in the Fremont area! * Here's what we ordered: Beyti Kebab with Beef Manti Al Nazik Mania Rose Mocktail Mom's Sparkling Strawberry * Everything was delicious! The Beyti Kebab and the Manti were my favorites . The Beyti Kebab was packed with thin beef, cheese, and vegetables grilled and rolled into a crispy lavash bread . The Manti is a favorite Turkish homemade noodle filled with beef and spices topped with a melted butter yogurt sauce . * They have so many options and I'm confident all of them are delicious! We plan on going back for their Hummus Plates, Flatbreads, and Eggplant dishes . Check them out if you haven't yet! #eatswitherinn read more

Great customer service and welcoming ambience. We got seated right away (plenty of seating) and the staff were helpful in answering any questions we had. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered it family style and I enjoyed every single dish. I would recommend this if you want to try multiple things off the menu. Would definitely come back! read more

Great food and friendly wait staff. I can't say I'm a huge Turkish food person but my family came with me as an unbiased party and they lovedddd this place. We tried a combination of different dishes, from eggplant to chicken to beet hummus. There's certainly a lot to choose from on the menu. It's taken me a while to get to this place since it opened because the menu items are a bit pricey for a more casual meal, but if Turkish food is your gig then it's worth it! For fellow cilantro haters - beware and ask for without because it's on everything! read more

Great option for Turkish food in the area! Easy ordering through Yelp. The hummus was delicious and they were generous with the pita bread. The tavuk chicken kebob was pretty good but a little drier than I'd like. My favorite part about this restaurant is the service and it's the reason I gave them 5 stars. I called three times while on the road (to ask about their hours, then because I messed up the pick-up time on my order through Yelp, and finally, to check on the pick-up time because the app was giving me conflicting information). This is annoying, I'm sure, to someone working at a busy restaurant. However, the employees (I believe I spoke to two different women) were friendly, patient, and helpful each time I called. I really appreciate that sort of service and think it makes all the difference. read more

Cafe Turko is a surprisingly great Turkish restaurant in Freemont. Here's what's to love: 1) Space: It's spacious, beautifully decorated with an open kitchen concept. They also have high chairs for children, who are more than welcome. 2) Food: The menu is large and delicious! We ordered the kebabs and mish mish (apricot stew) and all was amazing! The beef pide is also very tasty and a great starter. The walnut and pitaschio baklava was moist and good. 3) Service: Attentive and friendly. They also sell several Turkish goods in the front of the restaurant like Turkish delight. read more

We finally made it here for dinner couple weekends back, after multiple people recommended this place. Loved the interiors of the place, and the service was very friendly. We got the Turkish homemade aryan, and velvet sip to start off. We loved and enjoyed our drinks. Our server was very helpful, when we told him it was our first time there, he made several suggestions, helping us pick our dishes. We then got Beyti kebab with lamb, and Abdullah kebab. I liked the Abdullah kebab, the combination of lamb and eggplant is great. I loved the Beyti kebab, the meat was tender and delicious, wrapped in lavash with cheese. I must try when you come here. We wanted to try their desserts, but didn't have any space after the entree. We will surely try their desserts next time. read more

I've been sitting here so long that I almost forgot where I was...... We called on our way to the restaurant to check to see how long the wait was (bc we had a baby with us). We were told "zero" minutes and that lots of tables were open. Upon getting there less than 10 minutes later, we were told there was a 20 minute wait. But yes, there were lots of tables open. We were crammed at a two top. Three adults and a baby. We waited forever before a server came. Everyone was very nice though. We ordered the "pizza" as an appetizer and that was very nice. I ordered the mint tea and it was very very weak and tasted like water. I ordered the beyti kebab w doner, it was delicious. Highly recommend. The other members of my party order the chicken kebab and the chicken dish w Brussel sprouts. The chicken kebab was a winner but the other was a hard pass. Personally I think anything with Brussel sprouts will make the entire dish taste like Brussel sprouts (this was no exception). We ordered a few desserts which were pretty good. Overall for food, I would give it a 4 but service would be w zero or w one. Average between the two and you get my three stars. I would stick to takeout in the future. read more

Cafe Turko is a gorgeous restaurant with decor from Turkey which livens up the place. My sister and I were looking for a snack one afternoon and stumbled upon this place. We ordered an iced pomegranate tea which was perfect for a sunny afternoon in Seattle and it was unsweetened, just how I like my tea. To eat we ordered a Zeytinli Olive Pide and Kefir Cheese & Za'atar. The pide was very flavorful and the tang from the olives provided a well balanced dish. The Kefir Cheese and Za'Atar was served with warm pita which was creamy and light, all around delicious. The service was very good, they asked us if we had been there before and gave us recommendations. Very friendly staff! read more

Party of 6 on a Tuesday 8:30pm. Ambience - 3.5/5 - place was decent, restrooms were very far (two doors and long hallway down the middle) Service - 4/5 -- service was fairly speedy, although our items arrived at different times. Staff was courteous and accommodating, and we were able to split the check between five cards! Kuzu Salata ($16) -- 2.5/5 -- I was originally going for the Feel Good salad ($13), but the waiter asked if I was vegetarian (I'm not) so recommended this salad instead. When it came out, I was quite disappointed. I really wanted to love this and the portion size was very filling, but there was just a small cup of lamb and the vinegar/yogurt felt very sour and acidic. Not sure if I didn't blend it properly, but my teeth felt a bit sour and uncomfortable for well after the meal. We were all a bit tipsy from a beer @ Fremont Brewery earlier, so I didn't do root cause analysis to pinpoint the source for this acidity. I just poured what was provided with the salad into the salad. I tried a bite of friends' items, like the pizza and a falafel sandwich like thing, and they weren't particularly great either, although I appreciated the cheesiness of whatever cheesy sandwich thing I ate. read more

Cafe Turko is the perfect lunch spot in Fremont. We started off with the beets hummus and pita. I honestly don't like beets but that was the best hummus I've ever had. Plus, the pita came out warm and crispy. The perfect appetizer. We also got the Tavuk shish kebab and Grilled chicken durum. Both were so delicious. The chicken was tender and well marinated. The rice was nicely seasoned and the wrap was a perfect combination of flavors. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the Mintaide drink. It was a sweet in an artificial way and tasted too similar to actual toothpaste rather than fresh mint. Overall - would come again. Also, the interior is so beautiful read more

We LOVE Cafe Turko! It can get busy if you visit the restaurant, but the service is always lovely. The hummus sampler is fantastic and they can accommodate gluten free folks very easily! Al Nazik with Chicken is one of our absolute favorite dishes--it hits the spot every time! We also order delivery from time to time and I swear, it tastes as good as when you visit the restaurant! Great family owned spot! read more

Actually way better then I expected even though what I got looked nothing like the beautiful photos. Since everything is took of course it looks smaller and uglier but it tasted awesome! The chicken biriyani was amazing and the rainbow plate of humus was great. So far this is the best Mediterranean place with best price ever seen in Seattle. read more

Came here on a late Saturday afternoon for some snacks. We ordered an Orient Express Platter ($19) with Hummus, Wholesome Aegean Musakka, Kefir cheese and Za'atar, Süreyya's Homemade Pickle Plate, and My Mom's Dolmas, and of course extra extra pita. All of us enjoyed every mezze in the platter. I enjoyed the hummus and the pickle the most. The pita was alright, not as fluffy and soft as I liked. We ended up ordering one hummus ($7) and one pickle plate ($6) to go. All together we paid $57, which is kind of pricey. The extra pita we ordered was charged by piece, each $1.5. That definitely elevated the total amount we were charged. The food was good, the service was good, but the price was a little unexpected. read more

I've been going to Cafe Turko for authentic and quality Turkish food for 5+ years now. While the prices have risen a fair amount owing to Seattle's growing tech population, the taste and quality have remain unchanged. The only negative experience I'll call out from a recent visit was the slow service. Recommend: Ali Nazik (eggplant or chicken), Beyti Kebab (chicken or eggplant), rainbow hummus read more

Incredibly busy, loud, and expensive. On top of that, my dish came out pretty dry. I know most people want to get the basics of a review quick so there's your quick take. 2 stars instead of 1 because the location is nice and the restaurant has a decent vibe. If the prices were about 20% less and the food was more consistent, Id love to come back but for now I'll pass. read more

Amazing customer service and very delicious food. We loved our experience there. They played the music we wanted and were very nice to our group of friends. Would definitely recommend and come back again. read more

I am very sure I wrote a review of here! It was some time ago. I was so impressed with the warm service and food & drink selection. I just finished my pharmacy review and yelp offered me places to review & here popped up. I have no idea why a previous review is gone-- however to be reminded of such a great place means I will go visit them soon. read more

The place is attractive and fun with colorful interior everywhere and beautiful moroccan lamps. I ordered the zaatar flat bread appetizer, but don't recommend it after trying. It was chewy, bland, and not worth it. My main dish was Ali Nazik the Fire which came with eggplant, lightly flavored rice and a side of salad. The dish was very basic and missed the distinctive flavors of middle eastern cuisine. The only thing I liked was the refreshing rose ice tea which I enjoyed. Overall, my experience was average. I'm a vegetarian so not sure if this can be a good pick for the non vegetarians out there, but I doubt if I'll go here again. read more
