The staff isn't all that friendly but the food makes up for their lack of customer service. We had tired the chicken kebabs, steak kebabs and the hummus.

If you eat the whole bowl you will be super full, or if you save part of it you will have another meal Prolly been here at least 15x now, every time has been wonderful. Can't go wrong with chicken, fish, shrimp, or beef Vegan options available! I did like the garbanzo beans and they carry a lentil soup. Closed tuesdays ============ One of the most consistent spots for amazing and filling food! Some favs - all their meats are marinaded! #6 chicken bowl - comes with cabbage, tomatoes, cilantro, white sauce, + hot sauce (but it's not spicy for me) White fish is cooked wonderfully for a nice crisp outside with tender inside Ribeye is cut a little smaller, but the flavor is there and it is well seasoned Shrimp is also a tasty contender (not huge shrimp, but not teensy tiny) and not plasticky Whether you go with a filling rice bowl, a baguette (soft and chewy), their wrap which is like a bigger version of their "Turkish taco", the taco variety which comes with soft, pliable bread.. cannot go wrong here at all. Kunufe I fell in love with, really enjoy the smaller size that's available for less guilt. Comes with cheese and a not too sweet syrup for a nice sweet, salty sensation. Hot sauce Bae loves it, it's a bit tangy for me Green olives Also a bit tangy for me , but bae loves as well Spinach feta pastry with potato I tried a sample of this and it blew my mind. I'll need to get more when I come back in. Not greasy and it was flakey and I'm drooling thinking of it. There are seats and tables available, but it gets a bit warm inside during the day. At night is no issue. The owner is always friendly and welcoming! Thank you for sharing your food with everyone!! (I swear a wrote a review for this spot..o.o)

Koftegi gives off a cozy vibe, which was what I was seeking for a weekday dinner. I arrived at the…read morerestaurant at around 6:30 PM and was able to get seated right away; not a lot of parties at the time so we took our time figuring out what to eat. Their menu has a lot of photos, which helped picture what we would get. Sarma Beyti: This is largely the reason why we came to the restaurant. My girlfriend tried this dish at another restaurant years ago and wanted to try it again; while it was my first time having it. I was truly blown away with the combination of spices, tomato, and ground beef all packed together. This also came with a salad which was seasoned but leaned to a more sour taste profile. Kebab Plate: Kebab came with hummus and for the side, I decided to get some french fries. Another great dish to alternate between with the Sarma Beyti. Noteworthy to mention that Pita Bread was included, but I couldn't remember from which dish. It was great to pair with everything else! Kunafa: This was our dessert pick to wrap up the night. The server mentioned it would take about 15 minutes to make and we were good with it. Once it came out, I was impressed with how it looked. It was cheesy and not too sweet. They also gave extra syrup on the side as well. Overall, it was a very positive dining experience throughout. As the night grew, there were more parties that showed up, which added some strain to the staff. It was apparent as the server kept apologizing for their slower service, but I had completely understood. With the level of freshness from the food, you could tell everything was crafted with attention. American Express is accepted here.

ITEMS I TRIED: - Santa Ana Omelette: pretty decent though I didn't love the sausage portion of it. The potatoes were nice and crisp. It comes with a good portion of avocado as well. Really loved the melted cheese that brought everything together. - Latte: with oat milk, loved the latte art! Pretty standard drink. PARKING: decent parking around the District though can get busy. SERVICE: thought it would be slow because they seemed overwhelmed and short staffed. However, food and drinks came out very fast. PRICE: decently priced, it was about $6.50 for the latte and $16 for the omelette. Overall, I was not blown away by the food, though it is decent. However, the ambiance is really cute and it's a great place to catch up and vibe with a friend.

My meal came with fries and a drink. I will say my Coke Zero was quite flat and very sugary, could be something wrong with the soda machine that day. The fries were good and had a bit of paprika seasoning, but definitely lacked salt and needed a dipping sauce accompaniment. My friend ordered the falafel plate and they really pack it in there - huge volume of food. We ordered on a kiosk, so limited interactions with the staff. He did offer us a sample of their cacik and hummus. Both were delicious! He also really pushed me to take some bagged sauces (ketchup/mayo/mustard) with the fries - a good recommendation. The stall is one of many in the food hall. Lots of tables and other food options and it doesn't feel like they compete that much. Simple table decor and I believe you bus your own table here. The bar nearby serves drinks that you can take anywhere in the establishment.

I hoped on Yelp and she hopped on Google. Ikram came up pretty quickly for me. We both like Mediterranean food so we drove over. It's in a strip mall with a market and a nail salon. parking was very limited on a Saturday at 2pm. There was just one spot left! We walked in, and many of the tables inside were already taken. We took that to be a good sign! We ordered at the counter, paid and waited for our food. We were spliting the #6 Beef Doner Pide $16.29. Asked them to cut in half for us. Also ordered the donut once I learned that they're made daily on site. The guy at the restaurant was super helpful and warm! He recommended the sutlac (rice pudding) but we were too full. He said those are also made on site. Now the doner - it's very good with lots of beef pieces. All the veggie toppings are very fresh. Eating half was great because these are big servings. I'd love to come back!

I must say, it was overall a very good experience! I've since been here twice and have tried a number of their dishes; all of which are delicious and hearty! The meats are very tender and packed with that herby and smoky flavor. The rice and salad the meats come with perfectly complement each other. The pita bread is amazing too! The restaurant itself might be small, but there's plenty of aesthetics inside to make it feel unique and different. Not only is the food here amazing, but the staff here are the friendliest! The first time I came here, they offered us free pomegranate tea which was the tastiest tea I've ever had. It's literally a more flavorful jolly rancher in hot liquid form.

Came in today at 1 pm. I was pretty disappointed with my experience here. I ordered the chicken…read moreshawarma plate, and the portion of chicken was surprisingly small, just a few tiny strips compared to a huge mountain of rice. It honestly felt like the plate was mostly rice rather than a chicken shawarma plate. As well the pita bread does not seem freshly made but packaged taken out of a bag from a market. The hummus and tzatziki were also very watery and lacked the texture I expected. I tried the cucumber refresher as well, which was okay, but it had a noticeable tap-water taste that made it less enjoyable. What bothered me most was the service. When our server asked if everything was okay, I politely mentioned that there was very little chicken on my plate. Instead of acknowledging my concern, offering an explanation, or trying to make it right, he simply walked away. Why ask how everything is if you're going to ignore the answer? Unfortunately, I left feeling like I basically paid for a plate of rice. I was full, but mostly because of the mountain of rice, not because I received a satisfying chicken shawarma meal. Between the portions, watery sauces, and dismissive service, this was a disappointing experience.
