    Appetizers, that I lightly grazed before leaving the restaurant in a huff because they refused to serve me tap water. Read my review.
    A. Alfred A.

    Visited last night. I'd been here before and the food was delicious. This time I didn't really get to the food. I'd ordered my selection, and I would have preferred a beer to accompany my meal, but they don't serve beer. OK, fine, I'll simply have water. When the waitress started bringing the included appetizers, she brought a glass, and a plastic bottle of water. "I didn't order that" I said. "You ordered water" she replied. "Yeah, tap water." "We don't serve tap water." I was getting upset. The prices at this restaurant are not cheap (typical meat dish is around $37). And here they are wanting to chisel me for more more money? I considered taking the glass to the washroom and filling it with tap water, but decided against that. I've come to expect water and refills from my wait person. I thought: I'm being ridiculous. I should just enjoy the meal. I started eating the bread and appetizers. But, no, it was really bothering me. I put some money on the table ($10 in change. I didn't have small bills.), got up and told the waitress I was leaving. She asked me to wait while she told her chef about this. He was sitting at a table near the door, doing something with his phone. She explained to him I was leaving. I added that it was because of the water, that it was a "slap in the face"; and walked out the door. He barely looked up from his phone. I'm sorry I left so much. They've lost a customer. I'm never returning there. They didn't even offer glass bottles of water. The plastic is single use, so it fills the landfills. And there are health concerns with microplastics. Insane. When I told my wife about the no tap water thing, she said "I hope you didn't stay!" Which was a relief because I thought maybe I'd overreacted. What do you think? Update: read other one-star reviews, and several other people have been offended by the no tap water policy. Also, poor and rude service. Should also mention that with the restaurant located at a busy intersection, and next to a gas station, with a "patio", the ambiance is pretty awful.

    The warmth and politeness of the staff in this Turkish restaurant added a pleasant touch to our dining experience. To start, they served us salad and cucumber yogurt with food plus freshly baked bread. Also, we had the pistachio rolls which are perfect for their creamy Turkish coffee! I recommend getting the Bingol Mix Kebab, you will taste some of their famous meat in this platter! The lamb chops are my personal favourite!

    Food: 4/5 Great portions and very well balanced flavors. Love the ezme here, which is a little sweeter than I'm used to but so so refreshing and paired well with everything. The beyti was good but nothing extraordinary and had a smaller portion than the rest of the dishes. If you like a light creamy flavor then the beyti and yogurt kebab might be a good choice for you, but I personally found it nothing special. Personal favorites were by far the Antayka kebab and the Lamb Shish. For the savoury food lovers out there, these are for you! Came with a bit of everything and overall well seasoned and delicious. Dessert: baklava was exactly what you would expect from a Turkish restaurant. Nothing extraordinary but always a great finish to the meal! Cold baklava was my personal favorite. Overall taste was fantastic and mostly great portions for the price (roughly 30$ per dish) Service: 5/5 very fast and friendly service. We were served by multiple people who were all so kind and efficient. It was never hard to ask for something as there were always people running around. Fantastic team! Atmosphere: 3/5 plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Cute spot overall but definitely very warm and humid during the summer. It would've been nice to have better ventilation or AC.

    These guys are under new management If I could give this place a 6/5 I would. It's amazing food and friendly and fast service. They even gave us complimentary tea Just a beautiful place to eat

    It was an amazing experience, few points i should highlight: 1) better to have reservation in advance, unfortunately they won't accept reservation for two people but to prevent waiting in queue for more than two people do the reservation. 2) The food's portions are huge and one food is suitable for two people already

    Turkish soda. Once for curiosity is all I need.

    Good ambiance. Nice decor with some little details on their stone oven and flooring. Food is actually delicious , even for someone who tried Turkish food for the first time. Servers were very friendly and know their menu well. My taste bud like the food. The food portion may look light, but don't be fooled by the picture. I left with full stomach and satisfaction. We actually ordered chicken Shish and grilled meatball. But missed the photo for grilled meatball. In sum, both dishes are good. They are both full of flavour but still makes your refreshing after eating. Appetizers are also a must try. Overall, I recommand the restaurant.

    The staff are great, the taste & quality of the food is really amazing, and the environment of koz Bingol is so friendly.

    This is a Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant. The vibe is blue, like the restaurant's name…read more 1. Chicken Shawarma Pide ($17.99). 2. Adana Kebab Plate ($19.99). 3. Baklava (2 pieces for $5.49). 4. Turkish Tea ($2.00) x 2, but is free with a meal. A Pide is a Turkish Pizza. It came with red cabbage, gabage, pickles, and hot peppers. The pickles were too sourish. The chicken was mixed with two layers of cheese and a few slices of tomatoes. We ask them to hold the chili pepper. Adana is a lamb skewer. It was tasty and flavourful. It comes with a chili pepper and mixed salad, which was good. We swapped out the rice for fries, which was also good. The Baklava was just right; it wasn't drenched in honey, so it stays crispy. The Turkish Tea was the a good fish to a meal. Apparently, it is free when you have a dine-in meal. The customer service was good, except we have to keep asking to fill our water glasses. There is enough indoor seating. There is easy listening (English-language) music playing in the background. This restaurant opened in Feb 2024. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are separate male/female washrooms downstairs, thus not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. There is one high chair for little children. Review 2024-148

The waiter was really nice, he was friendly and smiling when he greeted me and took our order. My friend and I shared the meat doner with bulgur because we were not that hungry. When it came, it looked too good to eat. Presentation was well done with a variety of toppings and it was aromatic. Sadly we found the meat to be too salty for us. It was hard to eat when the bulgur and pita were running out as well. We were surprised to see that we were charged for $4 just for a cup of water each?? Apparently this is their norm but I wish I knew before coming here so I could say no to it as I had my own water with me...

    3.5 stars A friend…read morefrom out-of-town actually found this restaurant. We arrived separately, and it's a bummer that the parking lot for the plaza is so small. It's a good thing though that we were able to park on the residential street after 6 p.m. This is a fairly small restaurant with a patio. Menus are viewed by scanning a QR code. I'm not sure if it's specified, but certain items are only available at certain times. There's a chance that what you want to order is sold out or not available, so I'd recommend having a backup order ready. It was a super busy night when we went, so the food did take quite a while and was severely staggered in arriving at the table. Luckily, the restaurant was considering adding a pasta dish to their menu, and we were given one to try complimentarily. It was pretty tasty, and so were the dishes that we each ordered. The portions are decent, so if you're not a big eater, it'd be good to share dishes. The bread is so fluffy and yummy! At the end of the meal, we were given tea. It was a nice touch. However, they should specify that it's on the house. I had brought a cake and asked if we'd be able to cut it and eat it there. The server said yes, but it'd be a $5 charge per person. I understand that they provide plates and cutlery and will have to wash it, and I'm not sure what the norm is, but $5 per person seems high.
