I am not quite sure what the difference between homey Turkish food and what is not. I am going to…read moreassume homey entails more focus on the food and ingredients rather than the presentation and other things. One glance at this place and it certainly looks homey if not rather like a one pot, buffet, fast food kind of style. There was counter full of prepared food in the back and you can pick and choose your meal from thy selection. No there's nothing created here a la minute but the price kind of reflects that. While I can't comment on the authenticity of the food, I can say without a doubt it is tasty...for the most part. Everything does indeed taste "homey" as every dish is sort of a mis-mash of different vegetables and meats in a consistent sauce. By that I mean most of the dishes have similar sauces a tastes quite similar despite it having different ingredients. The rice is a nicely prepared with fantastic texture and just the right amount of squeakiness to them all the while still soft and pillowy. The chicken is sightly dry but very nicely compensated with the great sauce that it's bathed in. Sadly this meal wasn't quite as memorable as I had hope for. Unlike the Turkish cuisines I have had in the past there wasn't one or more dishes I would recommend of you must order. Everything tastes good -- like a every day good kind of meal mom used to prepare.

Oh wow, Berlin is know for its an international city filled with immigrants, amazing architecture,…read moreunbelievable history, delish chocolates, but one hidden secret is their amazing Turkish food. It's at times better than Istanbul. It's a very much hole in the wall and I didn't expect much because it had small reviews. Let me say, this is probably one of the tastiest and juiciest restaurants in Berlin right now. Once you enter in, a tall lanky man makes eye contact but doesn't speak a word. The service was always great and the food arrived on time. Every time you ordered he would just nod his head and the food would arrive. Let's start with the basics, the hummus was silky drenched in smooth olive oil with fresh chickpeas on top. It's so fresh that it would melt in your mouth. That combination with the fresh soft crisp bread is heaven. Service was impeccable. Food was grilled fresh from the start and we had the juiciest of kabobs. Your taste buds will go on over drive! Oh my god, we got the Ali Nazek plate. Without a doubt one of the best kabob dishes on the western hemisphere. It's minced Lamb meat,on top of olive oil, yogurt and garlic. At first I said, what a strange combination, But oh my god what a delish combination. The food, the fresh made bread, the hummus all melted in our mouth. The freshness of the ingredient is unparalleled here. My partner ordered the pilic sis kabop which are delightful lite chicken cubes which complemented the lamb. For desert, some nice Turkish tea and coffee with a thin crispy wafered Baklava. This might be your new favorite Turkish addiction in town!!

But…read morewhile out in Spandau I saw they had another location and since it was lunch time I figured lets see if the other location is good! We tried one of the Turkish wines, which was a nice dry red, like most Turkish wines I've had. We also got the hot mezze plater, the humus, and the Adana Kebab, which was advertised as spicy. The plater of appetizers was fine but nothing special. Although the egg plant had a great grilled taste to it, but the rest of the items were serviceable but ho hum. The adana kebab was very good, and came with a salad. However it wasn't that spicy, but if you put some of the chili paper they grilled and put on the plate then the spice showed up. Well cooked, tender, tasty overall. The hummus was excellent. A big plus was the fresh flat bread they appear to make to order. That alone was worth a star in my good. Service was good, a little pricy for lunch but an enjoyable time.

An absolutely superb upscale Turkish restaurant!…read more * * * Not all Turkish restaurants in Berlin are doner kebap places ... Although the ratio of doner kebap places to Turkish full service restaurants in Berlin is about 600:1. When you go full service, some of what you usually get is standard you-can-get-this-anywhere dishes such as hummus. You won't have that problem at Osman's Tochter (although they do serve hummus.) What Osman's Tochter puts on their table is amazing. * * * They claim all their dishes are mezzes. This is like a Spanish restaurant claiming all their dishes are tapas. Usually tapa/mezze places serve you small dinky little portions, So you have to buy a lot of plates and build the tab in order to eat well. Ozment's Tochter is actually the opposite. They deliver more food than you would expect from the menu. Both my wife and I found that ordering two plates was enough to keep us comfortably fed - with even a little left over for the table. No complaints from Samuel C - who believes eat big or don't eat at all. * * * Nearly every dish we had was stellar. I will just mention a few highlights. 1) Taramasalata is always good pretty much everywhere. Ozment's Tochter's taramasalata exceeds the high standards you would expect from taramasalata in general. Never has saltiness been put to better use. 2) Octopus is a high risk high pay off endeavor. When it is bad, it is fish-chewing-gum. When it is good, it is shellfish's answer to steak. The octopus at Ozment's Tochter is completely first rate. Their version comes in an elaborate stew. I was mopping up every last bit of juice with my bread. 3) They serve an elaborate halvah dessert with fruit compote and a lot of stuff on it. The cook would probably disagree with me - but I think every addition they make to the halvah makes it worse. Their homemade halvah is absolutely positively to die for. It is a not-to-miss dessert. If my mom tells me I have to eat my fruit before I can have my halvah, Okay, then, I will do it. I would do a LOT to get another dose of that halvah. 4) They do an addictively good shrimp in the shell. Sadly most of the flavor is on the shell, although the shrimp themselves are no slouch. Get used to the concept of swilling shrimp and shell together around your mouth. You will have to remove the shell politely with your napkin. Miss Manners will be watching you. 5) They serve a raki, Tekirsdag Gold, that is absolutely outstanding. Note that you can buy Tekirsdag Gold in most large German supermarkets. It is impossible to get in the U.S. but easy to get in Germany. That said - raki is a set up thing. You need the raki AND ice cubes AND a pitcher of water and the right size small glass - a small narrow glass just big enough to hold your shot of raki and one or two ice cubes. If you are staying in a hotel, you won't have that. I could do this at home because I have the tall handle-less cups the Japanese use for tea. That said, let Ozment's Tochter serve you your raki the right way. And trust me, you really do want the Tekirsdag Gold. 6) One note: Ozment's Tochter will make you rethink the pita bread you are used to. Ozment's will serve you one piece of bread regardless of how many dishes you order. They will be happy to bring you more but each new pita is two euros. Plus - their pide is a more like a crusty Italian roll than what we call a pita. It has no pocket just for starts. At first I was frustrated because we were out of bread relatively quickly. We were rationing the bread for prime uses. * Then I realized ... * That nearly everything I was eating was better WITHOUT the pide than with it. That even included the supersalty taramasalata - which is pretty strong stuff. The only thing I really really had to have bread for was mopping up octopus sauce. Seen that way, the restaurant giving you one and only one pide is a sign of advanced culinary judgement rather than some form of cheapness. The cook is asking you to break your standard habits concerning mezzes. The cook is right. Do what he or she says. * * * Overall, an absolutely outstanding Turkish restaurant. Granted if you were eating in Izmir itself, you would have a spectacular view of the Mediterranean while you ate. If you aren't in Izmir and you have no seaside view and no octopus straight off the boat, Ozment's Tochter is the next best thing.
