Also had the Pide and something else idk how to spell but the food here is on point. The inside is very nice and clean and they have large tables for bigger parties. The first time I came here I sat outside on the back patio and if the weather permits it, I highly recommend doing this. It's a total vibe back there. Definitely adding this spot to my favs in Kent and will be back again.

Our son brought us to this Turkish Grill so we could try something new. He suggested some of the dishes he's had before: Hinkal, beef filled dumplings with a seasoned yoghurt dipping sauce. Lamb Pide, a novice like me would explain it similar to a Turkish pizza in content, but the taste is very different-in a good way! The bread was so tender and had a nice bite to it, with melty stretchy cheese & lamb. Lastly, chicken BEYTI; also very good. There was chicken & fresh tomatoes inside a delicately crisped wrap. I would order all of these dishes again .... but I will want to try something new again.

One of my favorite places for a Turkish Breakfast in South King County. I have taken a several of…read moremy friends there and they all liked it as well. The place gets busy with customers and other Turkish families, which is a good sign. You order up at the counter when you walk in, then you pay and they give you a number to take to your table. They will then bring over the food to your table. Don't expect for personalized service/hospitality from the staff. It's cashier style and then drop off food, they they buss the table. Favorite to order are: Menemen, Beef Manti, Chicken Bowl, Avocado Toast, (kids love the mini pancakes), Pide Flatbreads Parking: Parking lot (Store is in a building of apartments/condos)

It's always nice to try something new with food. While visiting Tacoma, I was taken to this Turkish…read morerestaurant which my sister and her husband enjoy a lot. I was always thought all mediterranean restaurants are the same, but this one is a little different for me. Everything has yogurt in it and I'm not too crazy about sour yogurt. The restaurant is in a little shopping center, there are actually quite a few places to park. The restaurant is very nice, clean and airy. It's a self order, and they bring the food to your table. The prices are around $20 a dish. My sister ordered all the dishes, pizza, chicken, wontons, they all looked delicious but the tastes are so different for me. The wontons are not as tasty as Chinese wontons and they're not soft. The chicken is tasty but not very flavorful. The yogurt is very sour and rich. I had some slices of pizza, but nothing to rave about. Anyhow, at least I know what Turkish food is like. This one is supposed to be the best one in Tacoma and my sister family love it. Like they say, it's not my cup of tea.

Everything has that deep, smoky, grilled taste that makes each bite so satisfying. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food. I tried a variety of dishes, and nothing missed, but the mixed grill plate was the highlight for me.

The music adds to the experience, giving it a great atmosphere without being overwhelming. There's also plenty of parking, which makes visiting super easy

I'm Turkish, and I know what authentic Turkish food is supposed to taste like. I kept my…read moreexpectations very low when I ate at this place, but the Adana kebab was the worst thing I've ever eaten. There was absolutely no salt, seasoning, or spice in the meat. It was basically cheap minced beef wrapped around kebab skewers. I couldn't finish it, and my stomach isn't feeling great tonight. The service was awful. They basically dropped the food at our table, and no one checked on us to see if we needed anything until it was time to pay. The ladies' restroom was flooded with toilet water, which tells me a lot about their hygiene standards. I had a good experience here a couple of years ago, but I would never eat here again or recommend this place to my friends.

Happened to be in Kent area and was looking for some interesting food. Checked my trusty Yelp and…read morefound that this place served Lahmajun, which is a favorite dish I recently discovered while traveling in Turkey. So of course I had to check it out! The restaurant is quite large and there was only one other table seated. The interior looks like it could be been glamorous back in the day, but is looking a bit shabby now. Now to the food: Lahmajun: 6/5 stars! This was SO good. Perfect thin crust and very flavorful meat topping. Large serving. Highly recommend. Greek salad: 3/5. Veggies were fresh, but it was lacking flavor. Just cheese and olive oil. But it was good to get our veggies in Beef/lamb shawarma sandwich and saj (wrap): 2.5/5 Had high hopes for these, but neither were very good. It was dry. Really could have used some sauce. We took a few bites and then took the rest to go. Was much better at home with some garlic yogurt sauce we had. Baklava: 5/5. They have so many different types! I just walked up to the case and pointed at some yummy looking ones. Wish we had got a couple extra to go. Note, they do not serve any alcohol. I really would've liked a glass of wine or beer with my meal, so that was a bummer. The tap water tasted off too. Hubby got mango juice which was good. I don't live in the area, so likely won't be back anytime soon. BUT if you're out this way I'd say give the Lahmajun and baklava a try.

Went there with a group of 6 and had a huge order -- whole roast chicken, multiple kababs, qubooli…read morepulaav, hummus, desserts. Taste: some of the best chicken I have had in a while. Tender, juicy, succulent, with just a right seasoning and spice. The ground meat kababs were average. Lamb kabab just decent. The whole grilled chicken was really good -- again, tender, juicy and succulent. These guys definitely know their chicken. The pistachio baklavas were great. But the Kunafa quality has gone down. Couple of months back, Kunafa was great. This time, the cheese quantity had dwindled and replaced by some filler (cornflour-y, custardy- stuff), and an overuse of orange color and artificial essence. The butter/ghee was also almost missing. [Someday I would love to unravel the mystery of why restaurants use artificial color -- be it tikkas, chicken 65, desserts. No one likes it -- name one customer who has ever said, that a dish needs color for me to buy/eat it. The customers don't want it. The restaurant has to spend more money to purchase the color. It's extra effort to add it. It's a lose-lose-lose situation. But let's leave it for now] Portions aren't humungous but quite fair for the price. The whole roasted chicken is probably the best chicken deal in the US right now -- 20 bucks will get you a full, good-quality bird, done to perfection, along with fragrant rice. Service is very good. Our server Mustafa was amazing -- gave us great recommendations, was prompt, and overall made us feel welcome. Ambience is OK. Extremely spacious (one of the biggest per-capita restaurant space that you will ever see), and clean. The furniture and decor is a bit dated, but you might not notice it. A huge pointer for the management: please get clean the bathrooms. Bathrooms are in a very sad need of repair and upkeep, and in this day, age and location, a bathroom that smells of pee can truly tarnish all the good efforts and investments you guys are making. It's an easy fix -- $30/day and you can have someone come in deep clean it every day. Overall, highly recommended for the food!

We completed our food and were served free iraqi tea as well. I would definitely come back if in town.

I'm a newbie to Mediterranean food and these guys never make me feel bad over stumbling over words/pronunciation. Plus, they have great recommendations. Finally, people actually eat inside! Ever since Covid I've found it depressing to walk in to a beautiful restaurant, only to find the only folks inside are door dashers. I can eat inside and not feel like a weirdo loner (though half the time the dog insists we take it to go so he can get half the fries). Highly recommend!

There was a spot in Cap Hill that we used to love to order takeout from, but we live in White Center now and that is just too far. We decided to give this place a shot and we were so glad we were. The ambiance is great! Quaint, nice and colorful, and the service was so great! Our server (forgot her name but I think it started with a Z?) was super attentive, made some great recommendations and was so friendly. I always say I go to a place for good food, I go back because of the service. We had the sampler appetizer which was delicious and everything tasted so fresh. For entrees we each ordered the Mesopotamian lamb and beef with the basmati rice. Everything was excellent! The entree tasted so comforting like a grandma made it. And the simple side salad that came with it, that dressing I could eat just straight! Note, this is Turkish style Mediterranean food so you won't see the same style as say a Greek or a Lebanese style restaurant, but it was still fantastic! Note, the wine list was so different! Nothing from the US (which I'm okay with). I had the Portuguese vinho verde and it was nice and crisp and everything that I want in a vinho verde. I can't wait to come back to this place.
