On one side is a market area fully stocked with all sorts of specialty ingredients. They have halal meat, imported spice blends and mixes, tea coffee and candy, and snacks and drinks that looked very intriguing. I got some grape leaves in brine, Turkish coffee beans, and some authentic turkish delight (lokum) with pistachios, pomegranate, and rose petals. On the other side is the restaurant/deli counter- where soups, dips, and salads are ladled out of big containers under a cold glass case, and grilled meat and doner kebabs are prepared. It was pretty empty when I went in, but they had a large seating area, so I assume it gets busy. Today for lunch, I picked up a large mezze platter to share with my family. For the three sides, I got hummus, babaganoush, and piyaz (a white bean, pepper, and onion salad). The hummus was absolutely perfect, smooth, creamy, garlicky, packed full of tahini goodness. I totally want to go back and try some drizzled over chicken or lamb! The babaganoush was nicely smoky and slightly tangy, and the piyaz was a great balance to these two creamy dips. I also got a side of their homemade dolma, which were really interesting, they're slightly sweet and stuffed with rice, carrots, and what tasted like cinnamon or nutmeg. They also included half a loaf of fresh warm bread with toasted sesame seeds on top as part of the mezze deal. And the best part was that all of this food only cost $22!!!!! Any time I'm in the area I'm stopping here to get my fix!!

Not any more. We ordered our food for delivery. We ordered it at 3 for a 5:30 (ish) drop off. It arrived at 5:45 (not a problem at all). 3 major issues. 1) ALL of the hot food was ice cold. I mean refrigerated cold. Bread products hard as a rock and completely cold. This meant taking most items apart as they had hot and cold components, microwaving what is supposed to be got and the reassembling. I am guessing they filled the order at 3 and handed it to the delivery driver at 5:30 right out of the refrigerator. 2) An entire meal was missing. We didn't even have that many items. No one counts? No one checks? 3) One of the 2 desserts was burnt to the point of being inedible. The other was made completely correct. Of the 7 items in our order only 2 were good. One of the desserts and the cold appetizer (which was actually a little bit warmer than our "hot" food). Uber Eats gave me a full refund with no pushback, especially after the picture they asked for of the burned dessert. There are quite a few other places with an almost identical menu and similar (former) quality in my area. I will just go to them from now on. Sad. This was our go to.

I ordered online, they have a really convenient online ordering system which gave me no issue. I got their order of fried clam strips and a small platter of fried flounder, fried shrimp, and white rice. The clam strips were tasty but I have to knock them for not prepping them fresh as a fish market. I quite literally saw the box they were delivered in sitting in the counter. They weren't bad but definitely not great. The fried shrimps were just okay. The breading and meat were a bit chewy and firm, not very crisp. For the rice I was partially expecting a spanish type of white rice but it was plain steamed rice. This did work well though because my other items were a bit salty anyway. The real star of the show was the fish. This was definitely prepped in house and it was so good. A crisp, generously seasoned outer crust with the flaky meat intact and moist. I found their cayenne pepper sauce perfect for the fried seafood, very thin and vinegar forward to cut through the grease a bit. Their tartar was okay, it was one of the sweeter types which I'm not a fan of. I would try it again and get their fried fish . Everything else I'd mix up though.
