    Solid gyro, was perfect snack to get us through the massive market without overdoing it on groceries, and man the fries and tzatziki were actually so amazing. Service was warm and friendly. If we lived in the area, we'd lunch here often.

    This is a brand new food stand inside Saraga. They serve Middle Eastern food for a reasonable price. And portions are huge.

    An absolutely perfect dining experience for our group of 8 on a Sunday evening…read more We had a reservation for 5:30 but our plans changed slightly and we arrived 30 minutes early. We planned to wait until 5:30 but we were told it was fine and we were seated immediately. The service throughout our meal was outstanding. Our server was knowledgeable and answered our questions about menu items. She was extremely friendly and personable. We ordered several appetizers including my favorite, Saganaki. The hummus was garlicky and wonderful. We all ordered different entrées. My choice was the vegetarian pastichio. Our entrées and all the sides were excellent. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert so we will try again next time. The ambiance was wonderful, the food and service could not have been better. We all agreed that we will be returning soon.

    Service: Amazing! I felt so taken care of and attended to! Customer service was on point…read more Ambiance: I sat outside. It happened to be the first warm day, and so I could tell I was probably the first customer to sit outside for the season. Even so, the tables and outdoor space were clean. Food: I got the meatballs and they were good! I enjoyed the feta on the inside. I felt they were a little dry and could have been more tender. The pita that accompanied was perfection! The french fries were also very yummy. The feta, oil, and seasoning were delicious. While the food was good, I'm not sure $30 for these two is reasonable.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

The pita bread was the warmest, fluffiest, pita I've ever had. Would definitely order it again. I would've liked the baklava to have more honey on it so I'll be sure to ask if ordering it again.

    Went for lunch on a beautiful day in Indy. What a surprise this was. I love Mediterranean food…read moreand this was hands down the best I've ever had. The ambiance is spectacular. The beautiful tile floors and the view of the canal is perfection. Our server was so nice. Excellent customer service. This was my first time there but I was with a local so when the waitress came up she said "Do you wanna start out with hummus & pita?" I figured it would be the ordinary hummus and pita....oh no ma'am. This was pita with marinated meat and the warmest pita on the planet. I enjoyed so much of it I couldn't eat the falafel when it came. I definitely wanna go back cause there's so many things on that menu that I would love to try. Hands-down the best Mediterranean food I've ever had.

    We really liked our dinner experience at Canal Bistro! The vibes are awesome, huge shaded patio…read moreright along the canal with tons of patrons, and the service was very good. I would come back for that alone even to just sit and drink on a cool evening. Drinks were super good. We ordered the dolma, gyro platter, and shawarma platter Only reason I'm withholding a fifth star is I think the food is a bit overpriced for how good it is. It is good, but I've just had better Mediterranean food for less. The portions are big though, so you could share plates! It is worth a visit! We'll probably be back again

    Came for the baba ganoush (baba ghanouj?) and left more than satisfied. For real, I can eat baba…read moreganoush with pita as a meal. I HAVE eaten baba ganoush with pita as a meal many times. The baba ganoush at Noor Cafe is great, and comes with warm pita slices, plus pickled vegetables on top. I was kinda more hungry than I thought, so I also ordered a falafel pita sandwich and a glass of Pinot Noir. The falafel pita comes with a lot of different vegetables and sauces, and is fresh and cool from the veg, but warm from the falafel and pita. It's also huge! This is something you could definitely split if you wanted to, or eat by yourself if you're especially hungry. I was a little taken aback by how small the dining room is at Noor Cafe. There are four tables, and one of them was filled with toys, which was adorable. Some kid came from out back to play with them, and I was reminded by the adage that the best Asian restaurants are those where some kid is playing or doing their homework in the dining room. I think that might be true! Noor Cafe is not Asian, because they offer Mediterranean food, but they're also not-not Asian because they also offer some Indian options (kaathi rolls, paneer). I mentioned that I got a glass of Pinot Noir here. Yes, they offer beer and wine! They served the red wine chilled, which is not ideal, but I'm willing to overlook that because the baba ganoush was so good.
