Grill Set

Attentive and friendly staff, and the food was delicious. The bread was great, and the beef patty kofta was well-seasoned. The Sigara Böreği were rich, and there was plenty of bread to enjoy with the dips and olive oil, perfect amount of food overall. The shrimp were huge and tasted fresh. Ending the meal with baklava and Turkish tea was a great touch, perfect for relaxing and slowing down after eating.

The first thing I have to mention is the incredibly unique free bread that is given to the table. It is a traditional Turkish bread that is huge and a nice way to compliment the meal. The portions are not that big by the quality and taste are great. I tried the combination plate and all of the meat options were tasty and juicy. The interior is huge with plenty of seats, and the staff are very helpful.

I don't usually write negative reviews--mostly because I do my homework and tend to choose places I'm genuinely excited about. This one was disappointing enough to feel worth documenting. My boyfriend and I ended up here after attempting to go to Treehouse nearby (which had an hour wait--unsurprising given the concept). This restaurant was a short walk away, which actually worked out well given how congested the area was, and we walked in optimistic. The space itself is very large, but nearly empty for a weekday evening. It felt family-owned and casual, which I usually love--many of my favorite restaurants fall into that category. Unfortunately, the experience didn't reflect that warmth. We were given a different menu than other diners, which immediately felt odd. Service wasn't overtly rude, but it was noticeably unwelcoming--almost a "why are you here?" tone rather than hospitality. We ordered hummus and feta, both of which were surprisingly expensive for the portion and quality. We were told bread would arrive automatically with the hummus, but it didn't--despite asking multiple times. When it finally arrived, it was poorly cooked and no longer served any purpose, as we were already well into the meal. Despite the restaurant being far from busy, our mains took about 30 minutes. One dish--a kebab--was fine but very forgettable for a $30+ price point. My dish, dumplings in a yogurt-based sauce, was honestly inedible. I left it untouched and mentioned that it didn't taste good. The response was simply, "Oh, so you don't want a box?" No attempt to fix the issue or even acknowledge it. What sealed it for me was the overall condition of the place. Dirty cutlery, a generally rundown interior, and a lack of attention to cleanliness made it uncomfortable to eat there. I'm not picky about ambiance when the food and service deliver--but here, nothing quite worked together. The whole experience felt very turn-and-burn, as if the restaurant relies on proximity to a popular area rather than repeat customers. I left feeling like unless you're part of a specific in-crowd, this isn't a place that's trying very hard to win you over. Personally, I wouldn't return, and I wouldn't recommend it--especially given the pricing and the many better options nearby.

I still love this place but I wanted to inform any prospective guests about the honestly and integrity of this restaurant. In short theyre very honest, hardworking people, in a industry that is challenging even on its best days. I got the wrong bill, paid it, tipped on it and left but I discreetly e-mailed the restaurant several days later. They invited me back and paid me back in cash and offered dessert. One time I left my credit card here and they offered me tea, coffee and a snack! I've been here probably about once every couple months and I thank everybody from the bottom of my heart for their generosity. I've reviewed this place a few times already but I think for a group or just a couple, the food here is of the very best quality you can probably have for the money. The service has always been impeccable and Turkey in general is home to the best food, some of the best doctors, and the nicest hospitality in the world. I strongly suggest if there are any meat lovers in the area, make a detour to visit. The meat is all very high quality, cooked over coals, and presented beautifully. Full bar too!

Kunefe
Mitchell N.

Surprised there were not that many people here during Friday lunch. Probably around 3 other tables. They have complimentary bread with oil and vinegar. It's alright, would be nice if the bread was warmed up. I ordered the Sujuk Pide and Kunefe. First time trying both and they were pretty good. Although, the Pide is much more of an appetizer than an entree. It was basically a cheesy flatbread and the Sujuk is a dried sausage. There wasn't that much Sujuk. The Kunefe was interesting. Sort of similar to baklava, but with cheese and different texture. There was a tad bit too much sugar syrup and butter.

Desserts and some food

I stopped by on a Sunday morning for some Turkish food from the menu. To my surprise, that was the brunch time. And their brunch is a fan favorite. Everyone was there for brunch. It was $35 for a lot of appetizers, entrees, desserts and drinks. I started of with a soup, which was very nice. Then I went for many rounds of food. Ezme was especially delicious. Beef pastry was excellent as well. Overall its worth it.

Hosted a party of 20 here for a Sunday lunch and the staff was so accommodating and easy to work with. We came in and preordered the week before and we got everything we asked for in a timely manner. We ordered apps of 4 dips, mixed platters of bbq, and a large knafeh (they helped slice and serve), which were all delicious. The chef even came out to our table to check on us and that was really nice. All of our guests were pleased with the quality of food and service, it really made the day special. Would highly, highly recommend (:

It's not like it looks in the photo; what arrived with the order is terrible.

It's not like it looks in the photo; what arrived with the order is terrible. There is nothing in the salad--not even a spoon.

So the girlfriend arranged double date night with our lovely neighbor and since none of us have had Turkish cuisine in Sunnyvale, she picked this amazing restaurant. Friendly staff greeted us when we walked in & the exceptional service continued throughout the meal. Our server asked about our dietary preferences then made wonderful recommendations including libation. We ordered more vegetarian choices than animal protein because the photos on the menu looked delicious. Apparently Mangal offers weekend brunch as well so more reason to return

Came for the beef liver and ended up trying a few kabobs too. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The kunafa was amazing, crispy and sweet, just perfect. Great food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Branzino
Lee K.

First time here and the experience is very good overall, but not without some disappointments. Among the highlights, the service was excellent and the menu offers a nice assortment of spreads and desserts. We were able to choose a combo of three appetizers from a much larger selection and all spreads were excellent. We had Turkish coffee and sutlac (a creme brulée dessert) that was very good. Where food fell short of expectations, the bread that was served with our spreads was super dry. We ordered lavash flatbread which was much better. We had the branzino fish plate and the food was good, but the amount of work and messiness to debone the fish wasn't worth the effort.

Fun spot to Turkish bbq - we sat outside at the grill tables so we could grill our own meat. They start you off with complimentary bread and rice to eat with the meat. We tried a variety of proteins incl. lamb kofte, lamb chops, marinated beef and lamb shish kebob, sujuk (spicy beef sausage), chicken wings and chicken kebab. Everything was good - the kofte and sujuk were are our favorite as they both were flavorful with a nice blend of spices. The kebabs were good as well but the lamb chops were a bit bland and tough. We got a side of baba ghanoush to eat alongside all the meat and that was a great addition. For 3 people we ending up spending $50+ each so definitely not an inexpensive meal but the food was good, service was great and we had a really fun time. They have few large tables so it would be great with a big group as well.

Some of the best Turkish food that I've had in a loooong time. Service was incredible. One employee (general manager or owner?) was so kind and brought us an extra scoop of rice pilaf on the house as well as complimentary Turkish tea to enjoy with our Kunefe. Food was so incredibly flavorful and fresh. We shared the babaganoush, mixed grill plate, and Kunefe. 10/10 returning the next time I'm in the area and craving some Turkish food.

A disappointing second visit after an amazing first experience…read more Our experience at Meyhouse has been mixed, which is especially disappointing given how much we loved it the first time. We first visited about 1.5-2 years ago for dinner, and it was easily a 5/5 experience. The food, drinks, and dessert were all fantastic. We enjoyed it so much that we were excited to return. Unfortunately, our second visit in October 2026 was a completely different experience. We opted for the prix fixe menu and selected a seafood appetizer and yogurt dip. We were then informed that the seafood appetizer was unavailable, and our server offered hummus as a substitute. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst hummus dishes we've tasted. It had an unpleasant burnt, bitter flavor, with what appeared to be caramelized butter practically floating on top. We sent it back, and our server offered to replace it with a salad. That salad never arrived. The main courses took an exceptionally long time to arrive. At that point, we were just sitting there waiting for food, having had only one appetizer between the two of us. The chicken was decent, but the vegetable entrée was well below average. When it came to dessert, our server asked if we'd like it prepared, mentioning it would take about 10 minutes. We said yes, but it took over 20 minutes to arrive. To be fair, the dessert--semolina with ice cream--was delicious and one of the few highlights of the evening. Service was equally disappointing. At one point, our server accidentally spilled water while refilling a glass and assured us he'd have it cleaned up right away. That never happened. There was a consistent pattern of promising to take care of things and simply not following through. To top it all off, when the check arrived, we noticed an additional $4 charge for the hummus--the very dish that had been offered as a replacement for an unavailable appetizer and that we had sent back because it tasted terrible. What bothered us most wasn't just the food or the delays, but the overall lack of attentiveness and accountability. The service felt indifferent, almost as though our experience didn't matter. It's disappointing to see such a dramatic difference between two visits to the same restaurant. We know Meyhouse is capable of delivering an excellent dining experience because we've experienced it firsthand. Unfortunately, this visit fell far short of that standard. First visit: 5/5. Second visit: 2/5. I genuinely hope this was an off day, but it has certainly made us hesitant to return.
