I followed their recommendation and tried the Doner Wrap and the Börek, and both were fantastic! The portions were very generous, and the Doner was unlike any other I've tried -- full of flavor, perfectly seasoned, juicy, and with an amazing authentic sauce that really stood out. The Börek was also excellent -- so tasty and flaky that I ended up saving some for breakfast the next morning! I'll definitely be back. It's such a joy to support this lovely couple and the wonderful small business they've built. Highly recommended!!!

A delicious meal from a fantastic couple! After slogging through moving the last of my folks'…read morefurniture from the family house, I rolled up to the Exxon parking lot on a chilly afternoon, and was thoroughly re-fueled by the food and the warmth of Sabit and Sumeyye running their Turkish Couple food truck. The 30" bazooka (zurna durum) filled with chicken doner, lots of their special sauce, all in crispy lavash -- was a meal for lunch and more later. The Turkish coffee was hot and tasty while I waited, and a gorgeous Turkish delight and baklava rounded out the experience. I can't wait to try the doner wrap and the rest of the menu. Lots of other Turkish dishes to try. These folks are awesome and deserve wide recognition for their care and quality of food. Worth a couple minutes of waiting for fantastic food. Go direct to them rather than Doordash and you will save and they'll avoid the cost of commission. Call ahead and they'll have it ready!

Dined here last night and absolutely loved the vibes. We were able to walk in on a Saturday night…read moreat 5:30pm (despite there being no online reservations available). We ordered: - the honeydew mocktail (this was so good, I haven't had a mocktail that I enjoyed so much in a long time now) - the assortment of dips (delicious and paired so well with the bread) - a side of toum (this is an essential for me at any restaurant) - the ottoman rice (my family's favorite) - brussel sprouts - cauliflower (our server's favorite) - Adana kepab - the small lamb shoulder dish (really good) - branzino (sooo good and cooked perfectly) - pistachio soufflé (like a chocolate lava cake but with pistachio inside--soooo fab) We absolutely loved everything that we ordered and the bread that they served the food with. The service was so attentive. The vibes were really nice and not overly fancy. My family and I thought it was one of the best Turkish/middle eastern meals we've had in a while (and we thought this was much better than Zaytinya). Overall I cannot wait to return.

Came here to meet a friend for happy hour/dinner. Unfortunately she was running a bit late so we…read moremissed happy hour foods but I got myself a drink while waiting for her at the bar- which wasn't the most comfortable set up (slightly cramped) but bearable. I got the Thyme to Bloom and it was good! We got the Mucver, Hummus, and Grilled Chicken. The Mucver texture wasn't my favorite but the sauce it came out with was yummy. Hummus and grilled chicken were good- not the best I've had but decent. The vibe was nice and I liked the decor. I'd come back to try their happy hour!

They start you off with a basket of bread and an olive spread to go with it. I then ordered the dolma and the halloumi appetizers to start. They were delicious and simple and savory. The dolma especially had a nice, subtle, but almost tangy, flavor to it. I went with a falafel wrap (which came with fries) meal, and this was very tasty falafel. One of the better falafels I've ever had. This food filled me up quickly, so I turned down dessert. Next time, I will be more adventurous and try something more traditionally and uniquely Turkish. All in all, a great place worth checking out for food lovers.

We got the octopus, and it had like four chopped up pieces for $28, as you can see in the photo. The branzino came out lukewarm and potato was cold. The plate consisted of 60% salad. The sampler tasted like store brought, roasted cauliflower tasted super bland. If you want to pay high price for way below average food, then this is the place. It was also a Saturday night and only four tables occupied.

The space itself was cozy, and the wall decor made it feel warm and comfortable, perfect for a nice dinner with friends or family. The lamb skewers were so flavorful with generously-sized chunks of lamb on the skewer. I was so curious about the noodles and I'm glad we got the chance to try the gambian soman. You can tell the noodles were hand-pulled, they were so bouncy and absorbed the flavor of the meat (we got lamb) and the bell peppers so well. For dessert, we had the honey cake, which was also amazing. The cake layers were a little crumbly which complimented the cream layers in between, and the sweetness was perfectly, which I usually am cautious about when it comes to food sweetened with honey. I did end up coming back two days in a row because I was craving the lamb lol

Even though Eerkin lacks on the side of ambiance but it more than makes it up for it by the…read moreuppercut its food delivers. I have been to almost all the Ughyur food spots in the DMV and Eerkin is simply my favorite for several reasons. The food is served piping hot. Like pipe down hot or whatever you say... and it is darn delicious. This time around I went there on a date and even though the date went horribly wrong because the girl was telling me if I want to be with her I have to stop wearing shorts but as soon as I took a bike out of this Thawa Lamb Shank her voice became mute and all I could hear was the storm caused by the flavors in my mouth. Everything here tastes amazing, from the soft and chewy hand pulled noodles to the dumplings and the pilaf. I love this place. 5/5 I won't mind having more bad dates here.

Came back for lunch yesterday with a couple of friends. I had the Musakka a la Turk, one friend…read morehad the Vegetable Musakka and the other had the Turkish Omelet. The Musakka dishes are served with a side of rice pilaf and the Omelete with a side of fries. Bottom line - all three of us found the entrees to be bland. In fairness, I have only had Greek Musakka before, but I expected more seasoning and flavor, and my friend (the vegetarian) noted that they didn't get a hint of Bechamel - only mozzarella. I tend to agree the entree was heavy on the mozzarella and light on other flavors. We agreed that the rice was very good, both in texture and mild flavor. The french fries also were very good. The service here continues to be beyond excellent. Really good service. If I could give 3.5 as a score, I would, because the service was exceptional. But this is the second time I was here and both times found the entree to be bland. Maybe that's how Turkish food is - if so, please let me know, but I doubt it. The restaurant, which is very attractive and comfortable inside, has been around for 45 years and has an average Yelp score of 4.2. So obviously, a lot of people like it. I just call it like I see it.

Servers were watching a soccer game on the TV while we ate, and they failed to bring us water. We ordered the Korma Chop, pearl noodles, and cold skin noodles. All three dishes were mediocre at best and they brought out the cold skin noodles only after we had finished the Korma Chop and pearl noodles despite it being an appetizer. The noodle quality was subpar with no chew to it in all three dishes. In the end we had to go to the cashier to pay our bill because we couldn't get any of the servers' attention. Needless to say, we won't be coming back to this restaurant any time soon.
