We decided to go all in on the menu, and honestly, that's the reason I'd come back…read more We started with the cheese borek and lahmacun. The borek came out hot and flaky, with that perfect balance of crispy outside and soft, cheesy inside. The lahmacun was thin, slightly crispy, and packed with flavor the mix of lamb and spices hit without feeling heavy. Then came the Istanbul Mix Grill, and this is where they really stand out. You get a full spread lamb chops, Adana, chicken, kofta, gyro and everything actually tasted amazing. The lamb chops were juicy, the Adana had a nice kick, and the chicken was tender and well seasoned. Portions are generous easily enough for two. We finished with baklava, kunefe, and Turkish coffee. The baklava was solid, but the kunefe is the one you don't skip warm, cheesy, slightly sweet, and fresh. Paired with the Turkish coffee, it was the perfect way to end the meal. Service was fast, and everyone was genuinely friendly. They didn't just take orders they actually helped guide us on what pairs well together, which made the experience better overall. Price wise it's worth it. Not overpriced for the amount and quality of food you're getting. The vibe is casual and family friendly, but still flexible you can come here with friends to hang out and talk, or even make it a solid date night spot. What stood out most is that there were no weak links across everything we ordered and that's rare when you try this many dishes. If you're coming here, don't play it safe. Get the mix grill, try a couple appetizers, and finish with kunefe especially with the ice cream on top!

The Kebap is excellent, and the owners are kind people, but I had high hopes for their falafel and…read moreit is literally the worst I've ever had. In fact, I think I've made it better myself. No spice, no heat, no substance- they were over fried dry balls of cornmeal. While I was there, someone came in and ordered a box of falafel. I was amazed and feel like I'm missing something. However, their lamb and chicken and adana were on point and reminded me of my visits to Istanbul.

Keep an eye on the dishes parading out of the kitchen. Just one picture on this visit, we arrived absolutely famished. Tonight's dinner we started with the meat Manti. I'm a sucker for dumplings and these little packages topped with garlic yogurt, chili oil and sumac are hard to stop eating. Mains were our favorite -the grilled lamb chops-don't be afraid to use your hands. Definitely leave room for dessert, the warm Kunefe paired with Turkish tea are great to share and nicely finish off your meal.

It was a busy and cold Saturday night, but after greeting the owner (manager?) in Turkish, they were able to squeeze us in. We had a delicious shepherd's salad and some lahmacun. That was more than enough for both of us and both were excellent. Service was great, prices were fair and we got our fix of a taste of Turkiye and we were on our way. Definitely recommend.

Lamb Beyti $27 (ground fresh baby lamb, grilled on skewer and served wrapped in lavash and topped with tomato sauce and greek yogurt) - the warm lamb with cold yogurt made a nice combo. The lamb was on the hard side which I didn't mind. The yogurt goes well with the bread from the babaganoush as well. Would come back for this and to try other things.

From the outside, it doesn't look like much; in fact, it looks like a bit of a dive from outside. But when you walk in, you are transported. The design of the restaurant is so special - community tables, pillows, tapestries, waterfall features, tiles, and belly dancing. The food was a little inconsistent. We shared many dishes: Bastilla (baked layers of filo dough, eggs, chicken, almonds, sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered sugar); hummus (chickpeas, tahini, crushed garlic, lemon juice, sprinkled with paprika and olive oil, served with pita bread); Spanakopita; salad trio (eggplant salad, cucumber and tomato salad, and carrot salad); lamb tagine (stew of lamb, onions, and roasted peppers topped with honey and served with rice); Moroccan chicken with harissa cumin sauce; mujaddara (cracked bulgur wheat cooked with lentils and caramelized onions); and mint tea. I wish they didn't serve bottled waters, and the food was mostly good but not the most consistent. Our mujaddara wasn't served with the yogurt sauce listed on the menu, and the lamb with the tagine was incredibly fatty, making some of it inedible. The mint tea was really really really sweet - like syrup! I also wish the bastilla had a little less powdered sugar (I like on the dish, but it was A LOT of powdered sugar), and it was quite dry. But the eggplant salad, carrot salad, hummus, and mujaddara (even without the yogurt sauce) were great. I would happily have eaten just those dishes. They were busy - it's a popular place - but service was also a challenge. It took us almost a half hour to get the check and pay. I had to ask for the bill twice and then it still took a while to get it, for it to get picked up, and for it to come back to us. It's pretty bad if I'm considering walking up to the bar to get the check and pay. I loved the ambiance and the character. I loved that you can't tell how amazing it's going to be inside when you see the outside of the building - it's a surprise for sure. Our experience was that the food was a bit inconsistent, but it certainly was a fun meal.
