Highly recommended Turkish restaurant with modern & lovely decor serves generous portions a la…read morecafeteria-style... Tip: The friendly hostess is multi-lingual, but the chefs aren't. Pointing at the menu, with its English translations, may help. Interior design suggests a more upscale, dine-in restaurant with wait service. Instead, the hostess provides diners with a RFID card. When you order food from each station (maze and salads, pide or Turkish pizza, grill, and beyti or rolled, not flat Turkish quesadilla), and a separate drinks station, charge the amount to the card, get a pager, and pay the balance before your leave. The pager will notify you when to pick up your order. Note: after ordering, I discourage you from standing around and waiting. During my visit, neither of the two chefs were good at multi-tasking... and they'd prefer you not watch or supervise them. I ordered the imam bayildi; "fainted cleric" is the literal translation, but it's stuffed eggplant. A significant amount of olive oil is used in its preparation; lore says that when the cleric's wife tells her husband the amount, he faints. The dish is served with pilaf and a large wedge of bread, and very filling for the affordable price. I wanted to order beyti, but no chef was at the station... The grill chef's body language implied that the station was closed. In hindsight, I'm thankful I couldn't order the beyti. Portions are big. My colleague gave us the remainder of her pide. Groups will find plenty of tables, but the time to serve can be improved. If you're hungry and the restaurant is busy, the wait time isn't attractive.

Tasty, modern Turkish/Kurdish food in a beautiful environment…read more Concept: Identical to Vapiano. When you enter, you're given a card to charge and pay the balance at the end. The menu is organized by stations - salads, pide, grill, etc. Each station scans your card and gives you a buzzer that tells you when your food is ready for pick up. It's literally the exact same as Vapiano to the point where I don't understand how it's allowed! Food: First, I tried the mercimek corbasi, a lentil soup with herbs & spices and Turkish bread. This was completely delish, served piping hot and tasted freshly blended. Next, I went for the sucuk manti = Turkish cheese ravioli and chopped garlic sausage, grilled cherry tomatoes and arugula. I've never seen this item at other Turkish restaurants so it was cool to try, but I wouldn't order again because it's pretty similar to regular ravioli. Last, I had the shrimp spinach pide, so yum! The bread was chewy, toasty & seasoned, the spinach fresh, the shrimp nicely grilled & browned. At the end I was stuffed and the price came out to 20 Euros. Great value for the amount & quality of food, and definitely enough for two people to split. Service: At 5 p.m. on a Sunday, not many people were there, so the staff was super attentive & friendly. We got lots of greetings, offers for help, etc. Besides that, they have DIY spices at every station (dried herbs, garlic oil, fresh chilis, etc.) to amp up your dishes. Atmosphere: Beautiful old building (used to be a club) with classy yet modern decor. The space is huge and airy, with plenty of seating options (long tables, balcony/lofts, sofas). I left totally satisfied and can't find flaws in the food or execution. Definitely will be back to try more of the menu!

We dropped in on a Tuesday evening (around 7:30pm). Cool that you can sit at the bar next door, Egmont and order food from AKL. Oddly, they only have a menu in German but if you've had Lebanese food, it's not too difficult to figure out what you want. - Falafel sandwich (€3,30) - Veggie mesa (€9,90) - Grill teller (€12,20) - you get 2 lamb/beef skewers, 2 pork skewers, salad with chicken, pita and three sauces (garlic and hummus). A ton of meat. Definitely would come back to AKL. Tasty food, good portions and reasonable prices.

My wife and I wanted to find a healthy breakfast/lunch spot since we had been eating a bunch of…read moreheavy foods. This was the perfect spot to go. They have all sorts of brunch items that were both healthy and fulfilling. Avocado toast was solid in terms of flavor but the bread was too Soft to hold up to toppings. Although the bread was fresh it would have been better toasted. The Avocado spread didnt look freshly made but maybe I was wrong. Looked like the stuff you get from costco honestly. We also had the couscous salad which was light and refreshing. My wife had the french toast and it was the best thing we had at preps. It came with yogurt which was a cool addition to the sweetness of the french toast. All in all, it was a solid spot that we would go back. There were a few tables available when we went so we sat right down. It is off the main street where the shopping happens so maybe its more of a hidden gem. Come check it out.
