First time to this local favorite. A very friendly and welcoming restaurant was the first thing we…read moreexperienced. Then we saw all those who came after us who were clearly regulars. This was a good sign! The bread and garlic spread is amazing! But save room the portion are great. We shared a plate of Hummus with chicken Shawarma and chicken Kabob with rice. Fantastic spice and grill flavor. We loved it with the fresh hummus. Very filling! But don't forget the soup or salad prior. I got the beef which we enjoyed more than the lentil. My daughter enjoyed the beef kabobs and son in law loved his shwarma sandwich. When we are back in town this is a must stop. Prices are a bit high, but the quality and amount you take home offsets it.

I come back constantly for the bread and garlic dip. I dream of the pillowy warm bread embracing me on a difficult day. The hummus is so creamy and the fresh veggies really make me feel at home. This place is full of wonderful servers, chefs and people who truly care about the food/community they serve!

Tucked among an intersection of amazing restaurants, we finally got to check out Char!…read more While looking at some of the Artprize pieces, since Char was a venue this year, my fiancé ordered the steak fried rice and I ordered a fried noodle bowl with rice noodles and chicken. There are plenty of toppings to choose from and everything tastes super fresh. It's like Qdoba/Chipotle style where you pick what sauces and toppings you want then they whip it all together for you. First bite was a flavor explosion and continued throughout both the dishes. Yum yum sauce was on point. Service was quick and friendly. It is a bit pricey but the fiancé treated dinner on this night ;) A friend suggested their nachos which we will have to try next time. The space is shared with Gita Pita so there is a dining area that is in between both restaurants. If you felt like trying two places at once you knock that out by grabbing something from Gita Pita while you wait for your food from Char. Definitely will be back again and I'm glad to finally cross Char off my list!

First time here, and while it looks a bit like a diner, the food is fresh and homemade and…read moredelicious. We had the Chicken 65 which is essentially spicy fried chicken bites with onion and sauce, and the chili chicken which is a bit more like General Tsao's but with a twist. Both were tangy and wonderful. The lamb vindaloo, heat 7 of 10, was just right for us - liking hot but not burning. The lamb and potatoes were tender, and there was the the right amount of sauce or gravy for the rice. The chicken tikka masala was perfect, again tender chicken and just the right heat at 7. But it was so filling we couldn't finish it all. It'll make a nice leftover for lunch tomorrow! The malai kofta had a slightly sweet and certainly spicy flavor, at an 8, and we finished it all - it was so good. Topped it off with garlic naan, and some Sprites. We'll be coming back, and also doing carry out!

Everything was fresh and hot as always and we took leftovers home as they don't skimp on the portions. The place has 1980s dive vibes but that's perfectly fine because the food is so good.

Our host was super kind, helpful with the menu and had a sense of humor. Grape leaves - I believe it was cold if I remember, and it's a softer/mushy texture. The host called it "Turkish Sushi." It was good and different! Appetizers- phenomenal. Fresh, hot, flavorful. We had cheese served on a hot stone, it was beautiful. Nothing was over or under seasoned. Everything was cooked perfectly. Nice fry, nice bake, nice sizzles. Salmon was cooked just right. Calamari was fried great and had a good crunch. Feta borek reminded me of crab cheese ragoons. I love the way it's prepared though, even bites and good flaky crunch. The shell is light and wasn't greasy. Baklava was delicious. Rice pudding was delicious. Drinks were on point. 10/10 will be back again!

We landed at Ford international headed for facilities in Ada and Grand Rapids. Our assistant…read morefigured out that if we stopped in Ada, first, we could enjoy the Zeytin Turkish restaurant. Zeytin serves authentic Turkish cuisine along with other middle eastern and American food. A table favourite was the Pepper Delight. Basically, chopped red and green peppers combined with walnuts and tomato. I highly recommend both the Rice pudding and the Fried calamari. Nice big plate I had almost all to myself. The service was friendly and somewhat attentive. My friend, Darius, ordered the Chicken shish kebab and the pita was dry, cold and stale. They immediately returned with fresh, hot, moist bread. The wait for the initial order and drink refills was a bit longer. The dining area is large, yet cozy. The eatery has a very embracing, warm ambiance and it's a great gluten-free zone. The guy that suggested we stop here eats vegan. 01/26

We also got a variety of oils from the olive bar, all of which were delicious. The store was well organized, stocked, and clean. Will totally be doing a dinner night here in the future.
