I don't know if it's a consignment shop/restaurant but it really makes the vibe fun and different. We got two apps to split as we weren't too hungry and there was also only one vegan entree and I am not a mushroom and eggplant fan. The Ezme was so delicious and the fresh baked pita was as perfect! The hummus we got warm, which I'd never had before but it was also very very good, although the burst of flavor in the Ezme definitely overshadowed the hummus. The only reason for 4 stars is the server seemed to have forgotten about us. We never received any plates or napkins and we both ran out of water and were waiting to get some more. Everyone was very very friendly but that took the overall experience down just a notch.

Even the table you eat at, the chair you sit on, or the cushion you lean on can be purchased. The whole atmosphere is incredibly distinctive and inspiring. Our favorites so far are the Konya kebab, the güveç, the köfte, and the Anatolian hummus. Anything that comes out of their wood-fired oven is absolutely delicious. The flavors are rich, authentic, and consistently great. The ambiance is warm and welcoming -- it truly makes you feel at home. If you happen to meet the owner, you're in for a wonderful conversation as well. Also, very close by there's a charming little book house that feels like it came straight out of an old movie. Definitely worth stopping by while you're in the area.

Got some small apps and shared a Chicken Kabob dinner. Then came dessert. Our waiter said we'd have to get up to look in their refrigerated display. It was wonderful. Everything looked just so good. We got an order of Baklava and some "cake". Both are in my picture. Damn were they good!!! The Baklava was both original flavor and chocolate. Unusual!! The cake came in chocolate, strawberry, mango, and mulberry/black raspberry. I chose the latter. As good as it looks, it tasted even better. Highly recommend heading here. There's nothing wrong and everything right with this restaurant.

Individual metal baskets of fries, no more need to open little ketchup packets and, of course, still hot and fresh. The Moroccan tea was an unexpected delight. Tasted super fresh and minty so I looked in. Surprise - no tea bag. But lots of fresh mint leaves. Best mint tea we've ever had. The traditional serving pieces really make a nice difference. The only thing that could really stand a bit of improvement is the time from order to arrival. But if the tradeoff is less quality on the eating experience then I'm happy to wait.

I've been here twice, the menu is limited, if you don't want falafel, there really isn't much else…read more Yes it's vegan, besides the eggs you can add on, but if you like falafel and homemade sauce's, pita bread, and fresh house made pickles, it is really spot on. I make falafel at home sometimes and mezze platters. I've eaten middle Eastern food in many cities and this is some of the best falafel I've ever eaten. I am not vegan or vegetarian, but I enjoy things that are whole foods and happen to be in those categories. It's only open a few days a week, and it's best eaten soon after ordering. Inside has some high tables to done in. I think the bathroom is down a flight of stairs.

I used to frequent Mediterrano in Hillsboro, NH, and absolutely loved it. When the restaurant…read morechanged ownership and then unfortunately closed during COVID, I was genuinely disappointed. About a year later, I found myself craving authentic Mediterranean food again, so I started searching for restaurants around New Hampshire. That's when I came across Ayasofia. As I looked through the menu and photos, everything seemed so familiar--it reminded me of the dishes I had loved at Mediterrano. The next day, my husband and I decided to drive an hour to Salem to try it out, and it was completely worth it. After speaking with the owner, we learned that Mediterrano had actually been owned by a member of his family and that they use the same recipes. It all made perfect sense! The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming, even encouraging us to return and meet his mother, who taught him these recipes. I highly recommend the hummus, baba ghanoush, salsa, and grape leaves--they're all fantastic. Be sure to order the lavash bread on the side, as it pairs perfectly with everything. For a main course, the adana lamb kebab is a must-try. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and full of flavor. I only wish I could cook like this--I'd happily eat Mediterranean food every single day!

Turkish restaurant during the day ... Rowdy party bar at night a great time…read more We got a plate of grape leaves and a chicken Kebab and falafel dinner. My husband was particularly excited by how the rice was made. The grape leaves were good and the dinners came with the red cabage and salad. Delicious. I also got the Raki, because I was having Turkish food, but all the cocktails sounded very good. We did not sit in the bar, but they sounded like they were having the time of their lives in there. At one point Rod Stewart came on over the speakers and you could hear them shouting "ROD!!!" I was like, shit - Turkish food AND the regulars love Rod Stewart? Sign me up! If we lived anywhere near here, we'd be back.

What a stunning experience after a long bike ride!…read more After spending the day biking, this place was exactly the kind of place I wanted to end up. The moment we walked in, we were greeted immediately and seated, and the service was wonderful from beginning to end. Our waitstaff was pleasant, attentive, and made the whole experience feel welcoming without being overbearing. We started with hummus and some lamb, and then I ordered the chicken kebab entrée. Now, let me be very clear: I am NOT a chicken eater. But this chicken was so phenomenal that I told my friend the only way I would want to eat chicken again is if it's prepared and seasoned exactly the way this was. It was THAT good. The portion size was generous but still thoughtful. I really appreciated that because by the end of the meal, I was completely full--and honestly, I'm glad my plate wasn't overloaded with food just for the sake of having a huge portion. Everything felt intentional. The greens and onions that came with my meal were fresh, nicely prepared, and seasoned well. Nothing on the plate felt like an afterthought. I also ordered a drink that reminded me of a Shirley Temple, and it was really good, refreshing and exactly what I needed after being out biking. One of my favorite details about the restaurant was the open kitchen. Depending on where you're seated, you can see the chefs working, which adds another layer to the experience. I love being able to see the people preparing the food I'm eating. It makes the meal feel more connected and gives you an appreciation for the work happening behind the scenes. Between the food, service, atmosphere, open kitchen, and generous portions, Kismet really delivered. I left full, satisfied, and already thinking about what I would order next time. I'm absolutely looking forward to coming back!

Traveling within about 5 minutes on the way to visit a good friend, and it happened to be right around lunch time, the opportunity finally came. It's a casual place, lots of 2 and 4 top tables, but what caught my eye when we went in was the cooler full of amazing side options. Then you look up and there's a beautiful oven and a dough station. This is looking great. We sat and ordered lamb kebab and doner kebab. A couple minutes later, a large (~11x17?) wooden tray appeared with a piping hot lavash bread and a plate of dill yogurt sauce. If the meal had stopped there, I would have been a happy camper. We had just had a few pieces when the kebab arrived, each with a pepper, tomato, some red cabbage, and onion. Both meats were authentic and delicious. My favorite way to eat my doner was with a bit of the bread, a bit of the dill sauce, some onion and cabbage, and a bunch of meat - a mini gyro, if you will. We took away about 1/3 of the generous portions and ordered a large mixed plate (all 10 of the sides) and baklava to take to our friend. It's a bit of a drive for us, but any time we're anywhere close, we're going to be back for sit down (if it's mealtime) or takeaway if it's not. I highly recommend you do the same.

Alibaba is probably the oldest Turkish restaurant in the Albany area, and it recently got a nice…read moreupgrade -- from the furniture to the serving plates and menus. The place feels much more modern and inviting now. Our family especially enjoys the beyti kebab, the güveç, and their pide. I haven't tried the pizza yet, but since their pide is very good, I imagine the pizza would also be solid. For me though, the real highlight at Alibaba is the mezze. In Turkish cuisine, grilled meats and kebabs are almost always enjoyed with a variety of mezze. They might technically be sides, but they're a big part of the whole experience. These days there are several Turkish kebab places in the area, but none of them offer a wide selection of fresh, house-made mezze like Alibaba does. At many places you're lucky if you find one or two options, often just a basic ezme. At Alibaba you'll find around ten different mezze and each one tastes distinct and freshly made. Every time I tell myself I'll just take a little... and somehow I end up filling a big mezze plate. Honestly, even when we grill at home, our motivation is picking up mezze from Alibaba to go with it. I'm not sure if it gets the credit it deserves, but don't skip the mezze here -- you'd be missing out. In fact, start with the mezze and figure out the rest later :))
