Both were delicious and well portioned. The guvec (veggie casserole) had eggplant, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, and other veggies plus rice and a small salad. The delight had carrots, eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, served on top of hummus and walnuts. The food was delivered quickly given the restaurant was full on a Friday night. Good thing we made reservations, which we will do again when we return.

This former residence has long ago been transformer into an unique eatery. You can still see the…read moreformer layout, but the rooms now all connect. The entire place is covered with the evil eye charms, so you should definitely be safe here. I highly recommend reservations because they sure get busy. And while the ambiance is great, you really cannot linger for long, as there are usually folks waiting to get a seat. The menu is quite extensive and offers plenty for carnivores and vegetarians alike. I opted for the Iskender, which is crisp pita bread pieces topped with meat slices, all of it doused in a savory tomato based sauce and topped with dollops of yoghurt. The bread has little crisp edges and together with the meat and toppings gives you like a mini sandwich in your mouth. Simply delicious. The Turkish spices bring a wonderful flavor to the dish. I highly recommend it. Hat to admit it, but I have not been too impressed with the tzaziki on previous visits. It was somewhat runny and bland, but I haven't had in a while. Street parking is limited, but in the summer there is a gravel lot on the side of the neighboring building. However when it snows, parking can be a bit of a problem, so be aware.

I wasn't planning on coming here for lunch (I was walking l to the Indian buffet less than a block…read moreaway), but I noticed the sign out front that said 'Lunch Buffet Mon-Fri)' so I decided to change my plans. Boy, am I glad that I did! There are 2 distinct seating areas. Near the window there is the traditional Turkish sit-on-the-floor area. Towards the back are conventional tables (no booths). What the sign in front failed to mention is that when you order from the lunch buffet ($15), you also get to choose 1 item off the appetizer as well. (If you want to see what was on the buffet the day that I went, look at the attached pictures. There is also a photo of the appetizer menu.) This is a family-run business and service is extra friendly and fast. Note: If you pay with cash, there is a 5% discount.

They have 4 tables to sit at after ordering at the counter or they do to go orders. They have music playing which was a little loud but other than that it's a nice clean little restaurant. The menu bored is a little different than the paper menu I took pics of I ordered the curry chicken spicy and it was so flavorful. The chicken was juicy and tender. Ordering it spicy gave it the perfect balance. It comes with a little side of rice which was really good as well. Hubby ordered the lamb shawarma over rice and it was really good. Could use more lamb pieces. The tzatziki sauce was really good might ask for extra next time. We got an order of samosas which was 2. They were huge. It's a puff pastry dough filled. I'm not sure exactly what's in the filling but they were the best ones I've had anywhere. The sauce that comes with them is a little sweet but compliments them well. We also got 2 orders of garlic naan bread and they are huge pieces we could have gotten just 1. Taste very similar to garlic breadsticks. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

However -- I was quite surprised, even shocked, that they charged a 3.5% surcharge to use my credit card (using cash would not have incurred such a charge) !!! This is the FIRST TIME I have encountered such a charge in the USA. Also, there was no warning in advance. Given how unusual this is (and I stress, *unique* in my experience numerous dining experiences), the waitstaff could at the very least tell you about such a charge *before* you give them your credit card and they run it through! (I wonder, is this even legal?) An extremely unpleasant experience, and because I had guests with me, I did not want to quibble on the spot. BUT REST ASSURED: UNLESS SAMIRA CHANGES ITS POLICY I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK THERE.
