    I came back to this place, and it did not disappoint. I got a bowl again, but this time, I tried the beef, which was delicious. I also tried the fire roasted tomato sauce on top. It had a sweet and spicy flavor that went very well with the beef. Just like the previous time, the staff was very friendly and went on top of everything.

    Nice Turkish restaurant in Naples area. There is indoor seating, with modern decor with nice Mediterranean touches and great outdoor seating which we opted for. We started our meal with Babaganoush, very fresh and flavorful, loved their pita bread! We continued our lunch with their Traditional Doner Kebab with beef and fries, very nice, pretty light, I liked their Tzatziki sauce, fresh, great to dip in. Somebody else in our party enjoyed their Sumit sandwich is vegetarian. For drinks I got their sour cherry juice (amazing) and my husband couldn't resist their Schweppes bitter lemon soda, I drink we usually get in Europe, hard to find in US. We had a nice lunch, great service, clean restrooms, enjoyable atmosphere. I'd go back to Simit in a heart beat while in the area, their menu is nice, with great options, decent prices and the food is delicious!

    Dined here this evening with my partner and his mother. With a table of two meat eaters and one vegan, we could not have been more pleased with food, the service or the ambiance. Incredible, authentic food, in a usually overly saturated metropolitan area. Emil, thank you for guiding us in the right directions on both food and wine, we appreciate you! A must visit!

    Finally, a great casual Mediterranean restaurant in Naples! The menu is super interesting and our group of 4 had fun trying and sharing as many things on the menu as we could. We started with the Cheese Pide which is a Turkish bread that is puffy and light. We added the Armenian pastirma, not even knowing what it was, just for fun. It was a cured meat that added a lot of flavor to the dish. Another standout dish was the mixed grill. I only tried the chicken but it was tender and full of flavor from the herbs and spices it was coated with. The calamari with squid ink rice and herb salsa was also very delicious and totally different than traditional calamari. The flavor combination with the rice and salsa definitely worked. We really wanted to try the desserts but were just too full. Will definitely return and try more items on the menu!

    I had great expectations as I enjoy Greek food. I ordered to take out a Greek salad ($14.95 + 15% tip (does not let you proceed with payment unless you pay a tip). To my surprise the salad was not only small, but looked weird... with a single stem of the romaine. The salad was summerge (assuming it was dressing) but no, it was waterly. I give a one just because I want to be nice. But this place sucks from the presentation to the price.

    The pide.  Amazing. And the zucchini pancake!   (For all you white people!)

    They just keep killing it! The food here is outstanding. And an outstanding wine selection as well. Ask them to pair a wine with the food!!!

    Wonderful mediterranean restaurant. Everything was delicious the appetizers including beat root hummus, tzatziki, and babaganoush and the grouper entree was out of this world. Service was outstanding; friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend.

    Look at the photos. For those that want to read I'll make it brief since I'm so disappointed about how bad this was. Falafel plate missing falafels. No rice. Cheese Pide is an abomination. Dry and no idea how you call it pide. Mixed grill over charged for salad that's meant to be a side. Meat was dry but ok. Bread is ok and dips were probably the best thing. That's it. Look at the photos. Wish I could write a glowing review because I was excited but unfortunately had this experience.

    Chicken kobob with all the fixings
    Annie S.

    Food here definitely has that fresh flavor. It's a quaint small place with likely 10 table settings but food was flavorful. We had delicious baked hummus , chicken kobob , mixed grill which included chicken, & beef .

    The food was excellent! Service and ambience was good as well. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great food, we were on our way back from the keys and this was halfway back on our way to Tampa, and wanted to eat Mediterranean food and this came up on yelp. A good option, wish they were closer to us. Great service, fresh tasty food.

    Create your own bowl with falafel, rice, hummus, and tomatoes

    We ordered a huge amount of food and it was a mixed bag. The 3 dip trio was almost as good as I've had in other places, the babaganoush and the beet hummus were good. The two lamb/beef Döner lacked flavor and were only ok. The two create your own bowls were both good though the falafel was a bit dry. The simit filled with Nutella was good, but anything with Nutella is good. We got carryout and online ordering was easy.

    Was visiting Naples for the weekend and decided to try something new in town with my family. Immediately loved how charming it was inside and outside, including a live violinist the night we went. We love Mediterranean food so we went all out. For apps we tried the Ajvar dip and the baked hummus (FAVE) and both were suuuper delicious. We could've easily kept ordering more for the table because both were so tasty. For entrees we ordered the salmon (10/10 super tender and really nice citrusy flavor), the mixed grill (7/10 decent portion for price, flavors were good, a little dry), braised lamb (8/10 tender and full of flavor), and the tenderloin kebab (8/10 needed more flavor but the potatoes were out of this world). For dessert we tried the kunefe which is one of my faves, but it was a little dry and missing something. Overall the service was fantastic, loved the live music, and the food was very tasty. We will definitely come back to try out other items!

    Pita and salad
    Karen J.

    We really enjoyed our lunch. We had the simit sandwich and the pita with lamb and beef and a side salad. Both were delicious.

Initially, the service was slow, and I'm not sure if it was because of how busy it was. We got our water quick but drinks and pita took a good 10minutes. It's not a quiet place, as they are busy, but worth the wait and trying the food. We ordered the Beirut platter and a mixed kabob platter. Both were portioned for 1 person each and it was so delicious. I would recommend!! We also tried the baklava, which was perfect in every bite. It wasn't super sweet or dry.

For the first couples of years we dined here at least 3-4 X per season, but have stopped coming since after Covid for no particular reason. We came back for the first time in years, and were reminded how Outstanding the food is. You start off with the puffy bread. OMG!! The best bread ever. Comes out warm. Yummy. Then we had to get our favorite appetizer. It's Chef Rachid sampler platter and has a variety of mezzes. I highly recommend this appetizer to try different samplings of Turkish food. Be aware though, this sampler is eggplant heavy with 4 different preparations. All is delicious. 2 -3 types of hummus. The original is tasty, but we loved the beet one. See picture for the different samplings. For dinner, I had the branzino special; whole fish fillet. My husband had the half chicken. Both were delicious. Honestly the food is what you would expect in a high-end "chefy" restaurant - it was that well prepared with special spices. The vibe of this restaurant is very casual, with ceiling exposed with exhaust pipe running across. Seating is tight, especially for 2 people. Though the food is outstanding, we wouldn't bring out of town guests here who want to get a Naples experience. It would be great take-out however. They opened up a takeout counter since we were here last. Good idea. It was crowded the night we came, and have always been in prior years we have dined here. In future, we may just take-out if we can't get a table. The prices are reasonable. If they upgraded their dining decor, they could probably charge more. However, I don't think they are trying to compete with the 5th Avenue restaurants. For the most part, service was very good. Sophia was our waitress and she was exceptional. One of the waiters gave us a detailed explanation of each of the mezzes. The lady at the front desk reception was professional but not friendly. She sat us in a small 2 seater when there were open 4 tops. From a business perspective, I understand that they wanted to keep it open for guests with larger numbers than a couple. However, it makes dining not as comfortable. Overall, very good experience and will definitely come back. The food really is that good.

Pleasant ambiance although the tables are pretty tight. Our server came and I inquired about the happy hour deal which was advertised as going until 5pm, and was told you must be seated by 4:45pm. Disappointing. She then made a big production of running through the specials by loudly clicking her fingernails on an iPad all without mentioning prices, and now after seeing some other reviews, they are overpriced and a money grab. No attempt at any hint of friendliness or even personality. Anyways we put in our order. We got our drinks fairly quickly and our app, the charred octopus dish, which was great. It had fingerling potato's, artichoke, olives, red sauce. Very nice. Some bread then came out and it was also nice. It took awhile for our entrees to come out.

Our waitress never came around to check on us after taking our order. It took forever to flag her down to get our check. So I'd give Vergina props for the tasty food and nice ambiance. Demerits for indifferent and inattentive service, serving entrees that aren't hot, pushing expensive specials without giving prices and unclear happy hour policy.
