I'm the worst when it comes to vegetables but I happily went here two nights in a row. The food is good. Not wonderful but good enough to satisfy even the strict meat eater. The chili cheese fries (we tried the vegan as well as vegetarian on two different nights) was delicious. Plus a free Foosball table in a graffiti covered bar/restaurant? No complaints. Very friendly waitstaff. Cash only.

We sat at a small table, it did feel like we were in an area primarily for tourists, but we are so it was fine. I had three small beers which were great, very refreshing. We also enjoyed a nice lunch, my sausage was good but the potatoes and cabbage were really the star of the show. So yummy! We did not get the local beer treatment here where they replace your beer when it's half empty, which was probably a good thing. I could have drank it all day.

The ratio of ingredients was a bit off too, I feel like strawberries and bananas on top of what they added would have been more filling. The matcha latté was okay, nothing special.

I had the acai power bowl and my husband had the matcha bowl. Both were delicious and beautifully prepared with fresh, healthy ingredients, and the smoothie portion was very well-blended. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the cafe is small but lovely. My only recommendation would be to increase the smoothie ratio in the bowls a bit, as they looked a bit scant compared to acai bowls I've seen elsewhere. Definitely stop by this cute cafe for a smoothie, sandwich, or any number of the healthy and creative alternatives on the menu.

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!

I love the "woodsy" vibe in here too, very cozy and welcoming with nice views of the street as you enjoy your meal. Downsides: all of the sauces have sugar added so if you're avoiding added sugar as I am, opt for olive oil instead.
