The service was also top-notch: efficient and speedy. We tried the tasting menu, and I'm so glad we did. Every single dish we tried was delicious, and we were able to try a whole range of dishes. The amount of food we got made the price worth it. By the time we were done with the cold and hot appetizers, we were already stuffed. They then brought out the entrees, which were so delicious we kept eating. And the desserts were the perfect finish to an already amazing meal. Special highlights were the manti with garlic yogurt, artichoke with poached shrimp, lamb chops with dill-potato wedges, and the baklava. I highly recommend the tasting menu if you want to try a little bit of everything - the variety in the meal was really enjoyable. I will definitely be visiting again!

Came in hungry to celebrate a friend's birthday, left sooooo full, mostly because I could not stop…read moremyself from demolishing 4-5 massive pieces of their soft, airy bread (yes, they refilled without us even asking!). Honestly, zero regrets. While the bread kept us satisfied, mains did take a little longer to come out after the apps, but the food made up for it. Funny enough, the two dishes I expected to like the least ended up being my favorites: the eggplant dip and the chicken skewer. The chicken was insanely juicy with a slight char that hit perfectly, and the eggplant dip was so creamy from the yogurt with perfectly roasted eggplant. I would go back just for those. The octopus was super soft and basically melted in your mouth, though I did wish it had a bit more of that classic bounce. The tenderloin leaned a little too rare for my preference, but it was still very juicy and not overly gamey, which I appreciated. And of course, we had to get dessert. We ordered a baklava, which was definitely on the sweeter side. It satisfied my sweet tooth, though I've had flakier, more delicate versions elsewhere. To celebrate my friend's birthday, the servers also gave my friend a complimentary scoop of ice cream and sang happy birthday to her. 5/5 for the service and the delicious mains, I'll be back!

The FOOD! Everything is very unique and well done. The flavor profiles are amazing. I loved the beef moussaka and it comes with rice to soak up the sauce. And try the kunefe for dessert!

Employees should never be treating customers that way. That's harassment, period. When I called him out on his crass behavior, he denied it and started to attack me verbally. He sounded deranged. It was pretty scary, as he approached me after I left the cashier area. The other customers-- including a family-- at the caffe noticed his alarming behavior. I felt very disgusted at his behavior and left without buying anything. I will never go back to this "CAFFE" that I noticed has recently been re-branded like a race track, for the sake of my mental health. I absolutely do not recommend this place.

The crispy and tasty fried veal really complement the whole dishes esp. when you paired with some German beer. I also like the dolma, hummus & babaghanoush. They are great appetizer.

The Girit and Kopoglu went great with the complimentary fresh bread. Both the Lahmacun and Beef Manti were super flavorful and easy to share. After this, we ordered the Trio Borek, Acili Kebap Plate, and Ahtapot. The Trio Borek was a lot smaller than I'd expected and difficult to share as a group, but still tasty. The Ahtapot (octopus) was so perfectly cooked (not rubbery at all) and the Acili Kebap had great texture and flavor. Service was quick and seamless! Would happily return for more.

Can I just tell you how awesome this place is?! Trust me, I have tried Turkish restaurants that…read morewere not the best, and let me just say this one, and its other restaurant in Sunnyvale are the bomb!! I mean, really, if you are looking for a great representation of the Turkish culture with some twists on the food and just sitting so right on your palate, you need to experience this location. Located right in downtown on Emerson lies this gem. What I would suggest, and love here are the following, and I must say, I do thank a former colleague and friend of mine who turned me onto this establishment at the one in Sunnyvale, and this person is from France and has a very critical palate, but probably not as picky as I am. So I have only gone for lunch, as I did in Sunnyvale. What I enjoyed here was the following. I really liked the spicy beef kebab with their Turkish rice and tomato and onion salad. Very good. What I really like about their presentation is the Mediterranean component, which is big for me. Technically, Turkish is located in Western Asia. Somehow it has this Mediterranean Middle Eastern twist that resonates with me, could be my Spanish/Italian roots, not sure. But I really like this place! Now if you are budget conscience, this probably is not the place for you. But if you are looking for an upscale Turkish experience, you have landed! You must try it, you will like it. Oh, that's just great, that sounded right out of an Italian movie. Lol

The coffees they make are delicious, and I've noticed how they take care of guests so thoughtfully--sometimes even right at your table. Huge applause to both of them--they're doing an amazing job!

My matcha latte looked like the matcha had never been properly whisked--there were visible clumps throughout the drink. We showed both drinks to a girl from the staff who was walking around the café.

It was an unnecessarily unpleasant and dismissive experience. A bit more professionalism and follow-through would go a long way. Otherwise, you're welcome to keep things as amateur as they were today--since we won't be coming back anyway!!!

We were seated outside in the back patio. We shared pita bread and Spanakopita. For an entree, I got the stuffed pomegranate beef with a side of fries. It was very delicious. The beef was juicy, and I love how pomegranates are added to many dishes in Middle Eastern cuisine. For dessert, we got Knafeh, which I have grown to really enjoy. It's made out of kataifi (shredded phyllo dough), a sweet cheese filling, and is soaked in a sugar syrup (attar), which is often flavored with rose water and orange blossom water. It was warm, with stretchy cheese and crunchy crushed pistachios. Great service for our group! Definitely recommend Sultana.
