The interior is clean and nicely decorated, with nice lamps along with clean tables and chairs. They also have outdoor seating through the breezeway. The staff were really friendly. The person who seemed to be the owner personally checked on us multiple times, and offered nice suggestions for entrees based on our tastes. The other servers as well were really nice too. My favorites of the entire meal were the manti (Turkish dumplings) and the chicken soup. The manti were small beef dumplings served in a delicious tangy yogurt sauce with some sort of spicy oil on top. They were very filling. The chicken soup was rich, with chicken, carrots, celery and parsley. It had a nice lemon note as well. The entrees - the kabab and the guvec - were hearty and had good flavor. The guvec was really hot (temp wise) because of the clay pot. Kunefe rounded out the meal. Could have used a bit more nuts but otherwise great. Great little spot for dinner!

The ambiance was very welcoming, with Turkish music, but not too loud. The decor is very nice. The whole place smelled amazing and made us even hungrier. The food was amazing. We had never had Turkish food before but it has a very Mediterranean feel. We shared a sampler of the dips that came with delicious peda bread, and also shared a tenderloin beef shish kebab which came with orzo pilaf rice and grilled tomatoes and sliced onions. Everything was so delicious! The service was impeccable which is not easy to find on the beach. We also tried the Turkish beer. It felt like very good value for the food and the whole experience. We live in the neighborhood and will definitely be back.

Both were so utterly delicious, and served with well-seasoned fries, which I LOVED. We were also given a bread basket to begin and that was heavenly as well! I want to give it five stars so badly, and I think they have the potential to get there! The sign out front didn't match the name online, so we circled around trying to figure out if it was the right place. When we got inside, we deduced we should order at the counter, but there was no menu board and only one single menu sitting at the register. I didn't know what some of the menu items were, and there were no descriptions so I had to either google them or cross them off my list. These are all pretty simple fixes that I think would go a long way in the customer experience. I definitely plan to be back, the price for the mouthwatering meal was unbeatable! Hope they can figure out some of the little things to get people in the store and coming back!

The menu is a melange of Russian, Turkish, Uzbek, and generically Mediterranean offerings. To start, we had the Mediterranean-leaning "combo platter" with baba ghanoush, hummus, and tzatziki ($16) and the Russian-leaning herring with potatoes ($15; "tomato, cucumber, carrot, mushroom, cabbage, kimchi"). These were so-so. The baba ghanoush and hummus were both extremely smooth, almost whipped in consistency, almost unpleasantly salty. (We love salt and don't shy away from it at all -- but this was excessive.) I personally love a few chunks of eggplant in my baba ghanoush (like a beautiful Jordanian version I had earlier in the day from a stand in Aventura Mall) and a lot more tahini in my hummus, but of course these are stylistic differences / preferences. Tzatziki was very garlicky. The combo came with sliced cucumbers and a bit of pita -- but not anywhere near enough for our family. We did end up eating the surfeit of spreads with our main courses, so all ended well. Herring with potatoes was nothing like the menu description. Instead, it came with, yes, just pickled herring and roasted potatoes (and a huge, huge mound of thinly sliced raw onion, a few sprigs of parsley, a sprinkle of dill, a sliver of lemon). The baby potatoes were nicely roasted, but the pickled herring was quite mediocre, a touch mushy, and almost certainly not prepared in-house. The only distinctively Uzbek dish we tried was the Fried Lagman ($19; "stir-fried hand-pulled noodles in a mix of beef and vegetables, served with eggs"). I can't speak to its authenticity, but it was made with well-textured noodles topped by tender, well seasoned beef, bell peppers, grape tomatoes, and very thinly slivered omelette. The progeny who ordered it enjoyed it very much. Beef shawarma ($19; "cooked on a vertical grill, served in pita bread with tomato, cucumber, lettuce, yogurt sauce, and spices, with French fries on the side") was beautifully presented, a generous portion of thickly-sliced meat wrapped in a very thin layer of flatbread (lavash and not pita?) with a crisscross grill pattern. The Beef Kebab ($24; served with french fries and tomato sauce) was moist and tender, well seasoned. I think the slightly bland tomato sauce was meant for dipping, but the beef didn't need any accoutrements. Fries were fair, either undersalted or not salted at all. I wish we'd held on to the ketchup that had been served with the fries that came with the shawarma. The grilled branzino ($38) was nicely prepared, a medium-sized (about 1 lb) fish beautifully grilled and drizzled with reduced balsamic, served with salad, rice and a side of lemon. The skin was crisp, the fish fresh. Note that food is brought out as it's prepared and some mains may come more quickly than others. We didn't have a huge problem with this as our manners free family is under orders to eat food when it arrives, while it's hot, rather than to wait until everyone's food arrives. Also, we generously poach from one another's plates, and the last one to get her food hadn't been all that hungry for dinner to begin with. The eat-it-as-it-arrives policy turned out to be a good one since the lag time between arrival of the first main and arrival of the last was about 40 minutes. The first few to receive their meals would've had to eat their food stone cold. Sim Sim doesn't serve alcohol, but does have a beautiful tea service and hookah, and allows diners to BYOB without corkage. (All the Russian diners around us seem to have gone the BYOB route and ordered a hookah, which we also didn't see advertised in house.) It's in a strip mall as most restaurants are in this part of Florida, but has pleasant-enough outdoor and indoor seating areas. The outdoor seating is beach style. Think: white plastic chairs and tables. There was a single low wooden Uzbek style dining table on a platform outdoors and perhaps one indoors as well, IIRC. Our wait staff was very pleasant. One server gently pushed salad and Uzbek bread on us, which we declined, but sort of wish we hadn't after watching nearby diners who were probably of Uzbek descent. We're dining with vegetarians on our remaining days in the area, who wouldn't have enough protein options here, but do wish we had time for a return visit. Bookmarked for our next trip.

The Turkish Breakfast isn't just a meal; it's a generous, beautiful spread that feels straight out of Istanbul. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and high-quality. It truly felt like a special, heartfelt offering. I came for this, and I'd come back just for this. The classic pairing of Baklava and Turkish Coffee was the perfect finish. The baklava was outstanding. The coffee was rich, strong, and prepared perfectly. It was a sincere, satisfying moment that tied the entire meal together. I left feeling genuinely happy and impressed. If you cherish authentic flavor and heartfelt food, you simply must try this cafe. Five stars is not enough!

Food was excellent all around, service was great, and everything was very clean. Free bread arrived warm, homemade, and very fluffy inside with crunchy crust.

Falafel is usually hit or miss for me, but I would get this again! We shared a mixed grill platter so we could try some of everything. Surprisingly, my favorite was the chicken! Perfectly cooked, well marinated and grilled with a slight char. My hubby liked the beef/lamb patty best. It also came with one lamb chop, a grilled tomato, a little side of marinated cabbage, and a grilled jalepeno on a bed of tomato flavored bulgur (think like a Turkish spiced rice pilaf?) everything was truly cooked perfectly with nice spice. We also tried the lentil soup - it tasted almost creamy with a light tomato base and everything blended together (with a tiny bit of texture left from the lentils.) Also very good. The server was extremely accommodating, even offering extra grilled tomatoes when he saw us sharing the scraps of one! So glad we found this place and certainly will return!
