We felt we were tended to and taken care of. Great service from the staff. We were given free carrot dip and bread which didn't taste of carrots at all. tasty dish to start us off. We ordered the spicy feta and Kalamata olive dip as well as the Lahmacun pizza. Massive portions each. For entrees, we did the branzino and seafood tagliatelle pasta. For the branzino we thought it would come as a whole fish but we received a tiny piece of fish with tons of rice and veggies. To all the food items, I want to say well seasoned, cooked to perfection. I didn't feel the need to add anything to any dish - I was very impressed. My only reason for giving this establishment 4 stars is because they cut off the brunch service early and my entire reason for visiting was to indulge in the buffet style Turkish breakfast. Due to low attendance, they cut it short which we didn't appreciate but didn't let it ruin the experience.

The beautiful bar is set back in the glowingly dining room that has a painting of the Kurdish area in Turkey from where the owner comes from. Remixes of contemporary tunes gives a kind of clubby feeling inside, and the large sidewalk patio (on the side street) to enjoy the season is a completely different vibe. It's not just another variant on Mediterranean/Middle Eastern/ Persian cuisine, though you'll find familiar salads, spreads and cuts of meat. The presentations and flavors are different. The friendly (and easy on the eyes) staff will guide you through the menu. Very nice wine list as well as creative takes on standard cocktails (some mocktails too) complement the meal. Come in a group so you can sample many things; I assure you it'll all be good. Loved the calamari and the meze plate on this last visit. Grilled haloumi and shrimp were great previously.

The ceylon snickerdoodle is a soft cookie with a slight crunch on the edges and has a salty egg yolk filling. The filling tasted like a paste version of an egg yolk center of a mooncake - this was a fun concept for a cookie! The Macau rice crisp was another fusion hit, albeit a tad too sweet for me with the caramel sauce. The flavors all work together shockingly well though. Note: if you're doing a pickup order, the main door isn't open at certain hours and it can be a little confusing, but there is a designated pickup door to the side. I think this should be communicated clearer as another customer was having the same issue.

We waited 20 minutes past the reservation as the table before us was not vacated. We were given a table in the back with zero airconditioning on a hot, humid day with box fans. Everyone was sweating - horrible ambiance. Food was sold to us as family style - portion size was NOT family size and not enough for our party. Nevertheless, the food did not warrant us torder more of it- we did enjoy the overpriced tomato and the fritto misto. Skip the onion dip - not great. We enjoyed the capellacci while the cavetelli and the spaghetti alla chitarra was just ok. The gelato was the highlight of the night but honestly we couldn't wait to leave the restaurant. It was extremely disappointing to not have been consultated as to whether we wanted to wait for our original table in the main dining room instead of seating us in the back by the bathrooms. I havent seen family members in months as everyone lives on different coasts - this essentially ruined the whole experience. The food was not memorable enough to counteract the seating issue. Given that you pay a reservation fee, either put a time restriction on your tables or space your reservation times better but never use a space that lacks air flow.

While waiting for our party for our reservation, we saw multiple people unable to dine due to the popularity of the restaurant. Highly recommend booking in advance!

The breakfast burrito is 100% worth the hype. Such buttery fluffy soft eggs w a ton of cheese & the most flavorful sauces (my personal fave was the red sauce)! This thing is massive - I had half and saved the other half for later. The pastries were 10/10 no notes. Very fresh, perfect textures, not overly sweet. The tineka was a flavor bomb! The bread was phenomenal. There's some type of sweet n slightly spicy chutney(?) that really gave it a pop of flavor. The slaw that comes w it was amazing as well. The carrot cake was so moist, perfectly spiced, and the right amount of sweet. Critique: while the baked French feta was good, I think this is the most overpriced dish for what is essentially a small block of feta with some sourdough and a couple pieces of olives and cucumbers. Also, the sourdough was kinda too hard and crunchy for my liking. This is the only dish I don't recommend.
