Tea with Mint
Kevin He Zhong Q.

Was craving some Turkish Pide which is a Turkish flatbread usually with meat, cheese and sauce and saw this place offered it so wanted to give it a try. I tried my first one in Seattle at a place called Miss Cafe and really enjoyed it. This restaurant is located in a large plaza so there was plenty of parking. Upon walking in it was pretty busy on a Sunday around 11:30am, we were seated immediately. As we were leaving, there were plenty of people waiting for a table. Food I was hoping to order a combination juju boat but the waitress taking our order mentioned the beef is out of stock so therefore we ordered the Juju chicken pide. The flatbread was cooked nicely, the dough was thin, every bite didn't feel too heavy. However the chicken was really dry and didn't feel like there was enough sauce/cheese, ended up putting some garlic sauce on top and it made it a little better. We also ordered the combination platter which came with lamb Kofte, beef/chicken kebab and two sides. We chose hummus and salad as the two sides and it paired well with the plate. The beef was a little dry but the Kofte and chicken were pretty good. They also served us two flatbreads which was nice for wrapping the meat and dipping in hummus. The hummus tasted very fresh and clean with delicate flavors, wish it had a little more tart. Side salad was simple and fresh with olive oil and lemon juice. The Kebbah was piping hot but didn't have much flavor, think it needed some sort of sauce. Overall, the ingredients tasted very fresh and minimalistic but definitely can do with a bit more seasoning or sauce for flavor. Service was friendly and not overly attentive. The servers didn't offer any water or drinks. Almost every table had tea so we flagged down someone to place an order after ordering our meal. There was a little mishap with our order but the owner came over to the table and cleared up the misunderstanding and asked us if we needed anything. Didn't seem like they had a lot of staff for such a busy morning. The space felt very clean and very lively with the lunch rush.

Breakfast Turkish Breakfast Tray  Actually, Syrian way
Abo I.

The food reminded me a little bit of back home the service is the Syrian way phenomenal people should always ask for sarry The music of Fairouz playing in the background that designed the ambience I drove all the way from Las Vegas for that place. It's worth every mile I drove

Outstanding food and exceptional service! Every dish was delicious, and the staff were warm, professional, and attentive. One of the best dining experiences I've had. A special thank you to Abu Wasim and Tasneem for taking such great care of us and making us feel truly welcome. Their kindness, attention to detail, and excellent hospitality made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended, and I look forward to coming back!"

Appetizer Platter
Myra G.

In town for a conference from Hawaii. My last review was 6 years ago!! My gosh, however, I know I have been back about 4 years ago with no review. Whenever I get a chance to visit family SoCal I make sure to stop here for their Lahmachun. Today, I brought my friend and her daughter. My friends been to Turkey and she loved it here as did her daughter. We ordered the Chef's Platter, Spicy Lahmachun, Falafel plate, and for dessert we had their Kunefe. Chef's Platter is enough for three women with Spicy Lahmachun, however, the waitstaff said it wouldn't be enough. So we ordered the Falafel plate. No worries because we were able to split the left overs for each of us. The food was amazing! All of it!! My friend has been to Turkey and she said the food here was delicious. Surprisingly, she never had Kunefe. So of course we had to order one to share. We were so full we knew we couldn't eat it all but we're here let's do it. We are the whole thing and it was better since we had tea with it! LOL So much for being full. The staff are very friendly and the upgrades they made to the restaurant is stunning. Had made designs that took two years. Absolutely stunning. My friend said, "You know this place is good & authentic it's all locals not tourist eating here." I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp 6 years ago. Thanks for another great experience and glad this restaurant is still going strong. I enjoy returning to visit whenever I'm in town. I make it a point stop for a bite.

Every time I get my nails done I always come here after. Sometimes even I don't get my nails done I just come and eat here. The food is amazing! It's consistent and always fresh. The service is top notch! And the ambiance takes you back somewhere.. it's a family own restaurant and everyone is so welcoming and very homey... I recommend you try this place! I rarely make any yelp review but this one it worthy of a review!

First time here - food was delicious, portions were big and definitely worth the price. Great customer service too! Overall, my party of 5 had a great time.

Turkish Breakfast
MeikaiLani K.

After I recently visit to Istanbul, we were craving a Turkish Breakfast. I did a Google search and Koftegi popped up. I'm glad we went. The service was excellent and the guy there explained the different things on the menu. We ordered the Turkish breakfast, with the Turkish and egg scramble. We also ordered the Lahmajun, Simit & Baklava. All I know is the food was amazing. I was stuffed, but I felt i ate healthy food. Nice combination of sweet and savory. I liked the chocolate and sesame dip and all the cheeses. The restaurant made me feel like I was still in Sultanahmed, with is Turkish lamps, teas and paintings. This trip was well worth it. We will come again for lunch or dinner for the Pide and Doner.

The decor

Koftegi, "maker of meat patties" is a hidden jewel tucked away in a few miles of mini malls with dozens of restos clinging to life in Little Arabia. Most of those places have their cadre of regulars despite sticky carpet and a perpetual layer of Hookah smoke floating inside at eye level. Koftegi ain't that. It's spotless and inviting. Wander in and a pleasant fellow takes one last bite of his Falafel and stands to greet you. He'll walk you to any table you like in both dining rooms. A Turkish/Arabic loop gnawed at my Western musical sensibilities until I appreciated it's calming effect. The din of Turkish spoken here will eclipse the music and the Flatscreen showing reruns of Mucize Lezzetler anyway. As you sit down and make your nest, the Host hands you a 28 page Menu that resembles a High School Year Book. There are glossy photos of everything on offer. That'll get you salivating like Pavlov's Puppies in seconds. The Meat is all Halal, so open your Paypal. The food is healthy but it doens't hurt to be wealthy as the pricing is up-market. $15.99 for a small bowl of Tabbouleh Salad. So, don't be bashful and bring a bag that's cash full. Like good Olive Oil you get as much quality as your budget can handle. On the plus side, the food is fresh, well prepared, made to order so nothing gets parched and dried out under a heat lamp. The portions are heroic and the food delicious. No matter you'll take half of it home any way to serve as a platform for your morning eggs if you can find them and still afford them. The Menu features Turkey's greatest hits. While Turkish cuisine can be complex and elegant, this is comfort food doing it's job, making you full, happy and happy you came here. There are only a couple of authentic Turkish spots in SoCal so this is definitely worth a try. The Staff: Other than the Host, there is only one waiter. The work at the tire shop must have been slow and he landed here. Never mind, you came here to eat, and good food takes time to get from the kitchen to your plate. Here it is, now yemek! The Decor: Look Mom they shrunk the Grand Bazaar. Who goes here? Pats and Ex-Pats and the odd culinary adventurer, me. The Food: You already have the idea. The food is good here. It is. Help yourself to a huge helping of Hummus. Creamy and tangy with a wading pool of excellent Olive Oil and a sprinkle of Sumac. Juggle a thin Pita the size of a Hummer Hubcap and go to town with this. A lovely Green Salad with a light Lemony Dressing rides shotgun for the Garlic Chicken Garlic Chicken were Thighs marinated in Garlic, Yogurt and the usual suspects, Sumac and Za'Atar. The mound of Chicken chunks were grilled just right. Still moist and tasty as your secret Chicken fantasy all nestled in a warm Pita to soak up the juices. This dish comes with a mound of Rice, a Roasted Tomato, a Jalapeno should you need a treat of heat and a cup of pure lip puckering Garlic Paste to slather over everything you can reach, (except your date). The Beef Shish Kabob required a construction permit. Tender Rib Eye pieces stacked up like Legos. Cooked perfectly, oozing Beefy juices and still crispy at the edges. There are lot's of choices on the Menu as long it's Beef or Chicken. Vegans need not apply. Dinner will be ample and hardy, perfect for a cold night in So Cal. You know, when it dips to 68 degrees. It's wonderful even if it's 80 degrees in the dead of Winter. Koftegi will serve you well as it's truly guzel.

My friend's and I first time trying Turkish food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and everything came out great. The interior was really nice and aesthetic as well. Will be eating here again!

I love this place! Their cheese pastries are everything, and I'm obsessed with their breakfast platters, simit, za'atar... basically everything on the menu!!! The service has always been great, super friendly and attentive. Sure, it can take a little longer sometimes, but that's only because everything's fresh and baked right from the oven, which I actually LOVE. so good!

One of The Best Turkish & Syrian Food in California. Authentic Mediterranian Food. Service is So Great!

Tres leches
Jennifer H.

Came here after seeing it on Infatuation's list of Best in Anaheim -- note to self: don't trust Infatuation for OC restaurants. Food was mediocre...we ordered the Chefs platter $50, doner was out of stock, so they gave us more beef that was overcooked, best thing was chicken that was juicy and paired with a great garlic sauce. Hummus, bread, salad were standard, bland. Mini lahmacuns were sour, not sure if that was on purpose, either way did not taste good. Beef flatbread had overdone beef pieces, cheesy but not much flavor to it. Tres leches was fine, nothing amazing. Bad service...slow and unfriendly, we had to ask for water multiple times. When we asked for recommendations, he just shrugged at us. After we decided what we wanted, we found out some items we're about to order were out of stock for the night. Minus one star for service. Parking free in large lot in front.

I like to try new coffee shops on Sundays and unexpectedly found Knafeh Cafe today. I didn't get to…read morestep inside because I had my dog with me, but my partner went in to order my Dubai strawberry latte (half sweet) and picked out a few pastries. The young man who took his order was very polite and made great recommendations based on his favorite flavors. Everything was delicious: texture was amazing, VERY fragrant, and not too sweet. Although, It might've been too sweet if I didn't order the drink half sweet. I'm not sure how much everything cost because i didn't pay for it but i assume it's expensive as they use real, quality ingredients. My latte tastes pricey, probably $8 My photos don't do the items justice. I'm most excited to come back for another latte and their rice pudding (it tastes like roses!).

my boyfriend was homesick and craving knafeh, and this place was so good it made him emotional :')…read more we each had a crispy knafeh slice, and they kindly offered to heat it up for us. it tasted exactly like what you'd get in the middle east, and my boyfriend said "that was copy paste of what i get back home" -- the highest compliment! we initially came to try the same qatayef, but they were sold out, so we'll definitely be back. can't wait to try more of the menu!

For the sandwich, they slice it in 2/2, and then fill it with all of the meat in my case beef or you can do beef and chicken or just chicken. Ask for a sample to try and see which one you like. They also do a falafel, however, I found it to be a little bit on the dry side but flavorful. They also do a wrap or simply a plate. They also have some specials where they put the meats and sauces over french fries. That seems to be very popular. It's actually kind of like a Chipotle in the way that you order at the counter and pick which ingredients you want. If you like sweets, they have homemade delicious rice pudding among other Turkish treats. Some of these items sell out early so show up right before lunch to have the best selection. This is a go-to place for me at least every two or three weeks and never disappoints! They are extremely consistent and they have great service with friendly staff.

It didn't take too long for assembly and preparing, service is quick! First look, the portion is quite huge. I was only able to eat half my sandwich lol. So I got to save the other half for another lunch! The flavors were pretty good! The peppers were pretty strong in spice, which was a pleasant surprise as well. The pide is essentially a sandwich, so the bread was also perfectly toasted. Overall, very solid spot! I never had something like this before, so it was a nice place to try.
