    We were on vacation leaf peeping traveling through & found this place. The complementary hot bread was so good. We ordered the luhmacun which was a large portion as you can see in photo & mixed meats. All so good! Our server was a gentleman who was very attentive. My husband ordered 2 grilled hot peppers. Our server was surprised that he actually ate both & brought him another one. He ate that one I'm not sure how. I can't handle picky food. This was a great find! Enjoy!!!

    The only thing that could stop me from continuously eating was the risk of growing horizontally, like Snorlax. But it was worth adjusting my belt a notch. I recommend the mixed cold appetizer (great with the free bread) and for an entree, the Doner Platter. I'd also recommend ordering family style as the portions are pretty big. The complimentary basket of warm crispy bread was fantastic, and might have been the culprit for why we have many leftovers for our to-go box. The food was really really tasty, this place is incredible so I'm really happy to take some home.

    This is our favorite restaurant and we always come here, even now that we moved out of state, whenever visiting, this is a must stop. It's always very fresh and delicious food, the service is amazing and everyone is extremely pleasant, and they recently remodeled and the restaurant looks beautiful! Highly recommend.

    I wasn't sure what to expect from the looks on the outside, but after passing the many outdoor tables nested under a large tent, the indoors welcomed us with many wide, comfortable booths. Service was prompt and pleasant, and we didn't feel out of place in a restaurant that was a bit outside of our normal palate. They have lots of different types of kebabs, and offer several vegetarian dishes as well. I don't personally eat lamb, so we sampled some of the other dishes. The feta/filo appetizer was quite delicious and lightly fried. I would recommend getting some of the dill dip that comes with the zucchini patties (super good!). This was an impulsive stop after a trip to a nearby park, and I would definitely recommend it. It was so pleasant that we are planning on going back and trying some of the other kebabs or fish offerings, as well as some of the teas. Please note, you can bring your own beer/wine to the restaurant!

    This place is so good! The flavors are delicious. My favorite things were the mixed cold appetizer plate and the lentil soup! I loved all the appetizers and the soup! I really liked the Turkish coffee afterwards as well! I will definitely be back and recommend it!

    Mother's Day Surprise Dinner

    On Mother's Day unfortunately I didn't get to see my daughter due to work. Our daughter surprise us with delivery from Saray with variety of outstanding food. Everything from salads, entrée, bread and desserts was delicious. We got to experience great foods from a restaurant we have never been and will definitely go to soon.

    City Kebab is a Middle Eastern kebab restaurant that opened in Hartford, Connecticut in September…read more2023. It was founded by husband and wife Uzbek immigrants Timur Rakhimov and Aziza Djalmamedova. The couple immigrated to the United States from Uzbekistan in 2010. After over a decade of education, training, and hard work, they decided to try their luck as restaurateurs. They found a space that used to be home to Hook & Ladder Restaurant (right next to Hartford Fire Department's historic South Green Station). The couple hired Turkish immigrant Hasan Korkmaz as their head chef. Together, they curated a menu full of traditional Turkish and Uzbek cuisine that is all prepared in accordance with halal dietary laws. Some of the menu items include kebabs, samsas, falafel, gyro, and mezzo platters. I recently dined at City Kebab while I was in Hartford to see a concert. I checked Yelp to see if there was anywhere good to grab dinner before the show, and Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine sounded fantastic to me. When I entered, I was greeted by the very friendly co-owner Timur, who said, "I work for my wife. She's the real boss." After being seated, I began to look over the menu. When Timur returned, he tried to recommend that I get gyro. I told him, "Oh no. I know exactly what I want. I'd like to order a variety of small plates to sample. I'm a local food blogger and I want an authentic experience." Timur was just ecstatic and quickly went to give my order to the kitchen staff. I started off first with a small "Mixed Cold Appetizer" (combo of hummus, babganush, haydari, soslu patlican, antep ezme, avocado ezme), the "Falafel" (mixture of chickpeas, parsley, onions, garlic, Middle Eastern spices, deep fried) and a small teapot of "Turkish Black Tea". Timur brought me some complimentary "Ramazan Pidesi" (Turkish Bread) as well as a glass of "Fresh Squeezed Lemonade". He said, "You need to try this!" So far, everything was excellent! For the main course, I had the "Mixed Grill" (mixture of chicken shish, beef shish, kofte, lamb adana, beef & lamb gyro, served w/ white rice, bulgur rice, Mediterranean salad). It was a symphony of Mediterranean flavors! Timur surprised me with a "Pumpkin Samsa" (pumpkin filling in crispy pastry, seasoned with spices, served w/ tomato sauce) and said, "You can't leave without trying this. It's an Uzbek specialty!" It was very tasty! Before the meal was over, he said, "Save some room. I have another surprise for you at the end." He brought me "Künefe with Dondurma" (Turkish ice cream). I had never tried this before. Stuffed with melted mozzarella and then topped with pistachio and almond crumbles, it was simply divine! I repeatedly thanked Timur for his hospitality and for sharing his culinary cultural traditions with me. I had enough leftovers for both my wife and I to have for dinner the following evening. I'll definitely be returning with my whole family. If you're looking for an authentic Middle Eastern culinary experience in Hartford, then look no further than City Kebab!

    Came here for the first time on a Saturday night and it was really busy. We made a reservation but…read morestill had to wait a bit to be seated. It's tiny inside but clean. We got the mixed cold appetizers which tasted really good with their bread. The mixed grill was very good, their lamb is one of the best we've had. I hope they consider adding iskender to their menu in the future. Unfortunately we didn't experience the best service when we were there. They didn't give us menus so we looked it up on our phones, and we had to flag the staff down to take our order after almost 15min. We asked for water refills and yogurt sauce but received neither and no one came to check on us. We didn't want to wait longer so we opted to skip dessert.

    Let me talk about the kebab -- the quality of this place has significantly declined over time. When…read morethey first opened, they were truly making authentic Adana kebab. The chef was from Adana, and he used to prepare lamb meat properly with a zırh (traditional curved knife). But those days seem to be long gone. During my last two visits, there's been a noticeable drop in flavor. It seems they've switched from hand-minced meat to machine-ground meat, and they've started mixing in beef as well. The kebab, which used to crumble with rich texture, has now turned into something more like a cheap supermarket meatball. Despite charging above-average prices, this decline in quality is unacceptable.The kebab was served with both rice and bulgur pilaf, but both had clearly been sitting for a while. The rice, in particular, seemed like it had been cooked 2-3 days earlier -- it was far from fresh. It might still appeal to Turkish customers who have never actually had proper kebab even in Turkey, but to anyone who knows what Adana kebab is supposed to be, this is a joke. I assume most of their customers are foreigners who don't really know what to expect from a real Adana kebab -- so they've taken the easy and cheap route. To make things worse, during my last visit, one side of the kebab was burnt. And the chef, like a typical trickster, had placed the burnt side facing down on the plate, trying to hide it. That's just shameful. And finally -- here's a photo of the cooked tomato they served. Completely white and unripe. Really, chef? You didn't notice when cutting it? You didn't see it while cooking? Or even when plating it? If good tomatoes are hard to find (which they're not -- they're just coming into season), then don't serve them at all. If someone asks, you simply say "It's not the season, and we couldn't find good-quality tomatoes, so we chose not to serve any." But you don't serve pickling-grade, pale white tomatoes on a plate. Also, the place is now covered with signs saying it's alcohol-free -- seriously, there are nearly ten of them across the entrance, exit, and walls. When I asked the waiter about it, he explained that the restaurant is now a "halal establishment." But here's the strange part: since the place opened, I've been there around seven times, and every time I brought my own alcohol, the staff gladly served it to me at the table. Surely they didn't just now discover that alcohol isn't considered *halal* in their religion.
