My review is just for the Turkish delights :) I have visited twice this summer and have yet to try their other food items. I moved to Washington a few months ago and it has been incredibly difficult to locate a restaurant that sells Turkish delights so of course when I discovered this place, I had to plan a visit for my sweet treat craving. I don't often stop by Pike's Place because it's so crowded here, but i will say the Turkish delights have been worth the trip. They're simple and small bite sized pieces but they are satisfactory enough for me since I can't find any other options around. They offer a variety of flavors including (but not limited to) rose, peach, passionfruit, and mango. My personal favorite is probably the mango. They offer two different amounts of Turkish delight, costing up to about $16 excluding tax but can last me for a few days if I don't immediately inhale them all. I'm interested in their soup and baklava, though I'm not sure if I will give them a try since turkish delight is only on my mind when I visit lol My only negative criticism is that it tends to get busy here, which equates to a decline with an ideal customer service experience. There's either already plenty of people when I arrive or people start filling up the place after my arrival. I don't mind waiting in line BUT the lines here are very disorganized and there's no clear indication of where to order and where to purchase so I've been very p!ssed off for my last visit when I lined up to the main line (on the right) for my sweets, just for everyone else after me to get helped first because they cut in front to the other side of the counter (on the left). It's unspoken apparently but the main line is for the food/meat items.. I'm not exactly a fan of this level of disrespectful service that caters to entitled customers. It's a shame because I do want to return, when I'm in the area, for my turkish delights.. I really hope they improve.. read more

Yum, while visiting the market I stopped in to Turkish Delight for a little lunch. The lentil soup was unbelievably yummy. Thick and rich with spice (not spicy). I didn't even think I liked lentils until I tried this - I am now! Lunch was finished off with some unique variations on Turkish Delight (peach and dragon fruit) which hit the spot. Highly recommend! read more

Came here for the Turkish delights since they were so delicious the last time I came here. The experience was a little disappointing this time as there were a few of us who came into the shop and there was no designated line up to know who was next in queue. I understand that as a lunch rush, you want to focus on the Donair sandwiches but just have separate queues so different staff can serve different menu needs. I also didn't love that the Donair spit wasn't rotating so only one section of meat was heated until someone ordered. Seems a bit improper? read more

Been coming here for months now. I am yet to find a place that makes better Turkish food than this restaurant in Seattle. So authentic, flavorful and prepared with so much care. Thier menu is limited but that's because everything they do, they do to absolute perfection. My go to order here toggles between the doner kebab sandwich, chicken combo platter, pistachio baklava and ofcTurkish coffee. Every bite is heavenly.. the meat is juicy and perfectly seasoned.. the sauces are out of this world and the baklava is the perfect balance of flaky, nutty and sweet. There's a layer of pistachio inside the flakes as well and it's not just on the top. And The Turkish coffee alone is worth the stop. But what makes this place truly delight is the people behind it. It's run by an elderly woman and her daughter and they're the absolute sweetest. She greets everyone with the warmest smile, asks for your name and remembers it when she calls you.. the whole experience feels so personal and welcoming. The cafe itself is open, airy and full of natural light with views of the Pacific Ocean and the bustling Pike Place streets. Because the food is so good (and the hospitality so genuine) it's always super busy especially on weekends. Be prepared to wait in line but trust me it's worth it!!!! read more

This place is not the cleanest and was empty on a Saturday, should've known. The lady mistakenly short changed us but we understand mistakes happen what warrants the poor review is how they rectified the issue. When trying to get her attention by saying "excuse me ma'am" the daughter snapped without even knowing what our issue was and snaps "We hear you. She didn't do it on purpose." One can only assume this happens so often that you immediately knew why we were trying to get her attention. Even when they gave us our missing change, there was no apology. Next time know a simple "I'm sorry" is sufficient and goes a long way, if it's a mistake, of course. read more

TDLR: food and staff are a true delight ! Food is well balanced between meat, carbs, veggies, and sauce. Can't wait to go back to try the lamb & Turkish delight desserts ! Walked by this place one day and was drawn in by how good it smelled. First time visit, we got the döner kebab sandwich and the chicken combo plate (they ran out of the lamb), a cup of lentil soup, and a yogurt drink. Lentil soup was thick and slightly sour. Never had a lentil soup like it and it was delicious! A perfect appetizer to start off the meal. Yogurt drink was also slightly tangy and salty. Plate comes with rice topped with chicken, plus a side of salad with raw red onions, tomatoes, and hummus, all topped with yogurt sauce. Could mix all together and eat like a bowl OR eat each part separately. I also recommend buying an extra pita bread to enjoy the side salad and hummus in. There is some seating along the wall but not much. Probably fits about 3 groups of 4. Workers were mom and daughter and were some of the sweetest people I've ever met. You can tell they really care about their food and their customer service. Highly, highly recommend ! read more

Looked like they were going thru some construction so there were only 2 booths towards the back available. We got the Turkish coffee and everything smelled so good. The mom and daughter were very welcoming and you could tell they served good food. They had a couple regulars come in including some firefighters so that speaks volume for being a good place to grab some food. read more

2 Wonderful, warm, women served us Lentil soup, Baklava, and Turkish coffee. All were SUPERB. Lentil soup was like straight from a farm feeling, the Baklava was sticky, gooey, and not too sweet. Turkish coffee with a tad added sugar was perfect. AND, even if none of the dishes were good, the 2 women working would make us go back to give them business. Just wonderful. We went 30 minutes before closing and next time we will go early enough to try the Lamb stew which sells out fast. I've past by this place a million times, I apologize for not coming in earlier. It will be a 98% stop in whenever walking Pike Place Market again. read more

This little treat blew my mind. It was flaky, soft, and had a slight crunch! You could really taste the pistachios and I mean that in the best of ways! The woman that worked there was extremely welcoming. The service was quick and efficient. The ambiance felt like a small café to get a quick bite and some coffee. I wish I had tasted the other dessert because if it was anything like this it would have blew my mind as well. Of course, this is off of pike place market so I was expecting mind blowing flavors and I got it. If you're passing through pike place definitely stop here just for this! It is seriously worth every flaky piece! read more

Not a bad place to have a Turkish coffee! They make it really sweet and strong, so be ready! The restaurant felt a little cramped, some of the empty tables were a bit dirty and appeared a little neglected. However, the coffee was good! I might try this place next time I'm in Seattle...hopefully they'll clean their tables by then! read more

An unforgettable find at Pike Place. This family-run spot has been around for 40 years, started by the mother and now shared with her daughter--and that legacy shows in both the food and the hospitality. The lentil soup is exceptional--rich, fresh, and layered with spices that truly come alive with every bite. Easily one of the best I've ever had. The chicken gyro was equally impressive--simple, fresh, and deeply satisfying. What makes this place stand out even more is the atmosphere. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming--it feels less like a restaurant and more like being invited into a friend's or auntie's kitchen. Wish I had a picture to post. But was finished to last bite, realized I did not take pic:) A true gem. I'll be returning every time I'm in Seattle. read more

The owners are all so kind. Their world-best lentil soup and lamb stew are well-known for a reason. It's the most tasty Turkish dish I've ever had. Also, they have the best and freshest Turkish delight! read more

locally owned, chicken combo platter was yum and the turkish delight was really good. food came quick

The first time I ever went, years ago, I didn't know they had only taken cash at the time, and I didn't have any with me. The older woman behind the counter, I guess she took pity on me, ended up giving it to me for free and asked that I come back to pay for it when I have cash. I was astounded, and absolutely did so, and she seemed to be astounded that I actually came back. It's an experience I will never forget, and although I can't come here much at all, I still hold this place dear to me because of that interaction. Their rose Turkish delight is my favorite and it's the real deal. read more

Living in Seattle means regularly taking guests to the Pike market downtown. It's not my favorite thing to do by any stretch of the imagination. HOWEVER! This is my place of choice to show visitors. Turkish Delight does well what so little restaurants in Seattle event attempt, a minimalist high quality menu. They only have a handful of things (though solid variety) but all of them are excellent. Their lamb stew, lentil soup, and chicken kebab are all are top tier and give everyone something to try. The family that owns Turkish Delight are also a long time staple in the community. So for an authentic, downtown Seattle experience, Turkish Delight is one of the best choices. read more

Holy Moly this place is outstanding!!! My husband says 10 stars, if that's possible. This family run spot has everything- great food, great customer service, and a sense of community. It was refreshing to witness the friendly staff engage with everyone who came in. The service felt like you were at home. Even though they were clearly busy, they took the time to engage with everyone. The food delivered the same level of energy as the amazing family. Fresh and full of flavor, this was the best meal of our whole trip. So much so, we had to go back to thank them. I was skeptical of a place in such a tourist spot; however, the reviews convinced us to try it. We were not disappointed. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. read more

Don't support. If you believe BLM and are an ally. I went last week at the suggestion of a market local. the service wasn't great and being black I am sensitive to differences in treatment. first time you get a pass. went back today and same thing. happy welcoming to all the lighter complexioned people and reluctant acknowledgment of me. right in front of me they welcomed others who came in after me or were outside the store. So of course I turned around to walk out and they like why are you leaving don't leave so I called them on it and got oh no no we love you we love you. their behavior did not match their words. the older woman in particular. watch what they do. Not what they say. black people are not welcome. Never going back. read more

Just like in its name this place was such a delight! Definitely recommend adding this place to your list if ever visiting pike place! The service was so nice and friendly. Semra is so heartwarming and welcoming as she makes conversation with every person while taking their order. I got the doner kabeb sandwich and it was full of flavor and super filling! Bonus points for being HALAL. It's so hard finding halal eats in pike place - this place will not disappoint! Seating is limited most people were standing and eating in the shop but great for a grab and go situation. read more

What a delight to find terrific Turkish food in the pnw!

This is one of the Market's best food treasures! Try the chicken shawarma. Everything here is homemade and delicious. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The desserts are a treat to watch and also enjoy like the baklava. And do try their great turkish coffee. Be ready to wait for them to prepare it. They were generous enough to offer a second pour. read more

The food here was great, but the most impressive part was the Turkish coffee or as they call it Turkish espresso.

They truly take care to ensure that they serve you the same coffee they would be proud to serve their family. read more

A pleasant surprise in downtown Seattle. We loved our vegetarian wraps and the lamb stew (albeit a bit too sweet). The old lady was extremely friendly and even gave us some Turkish delights for free. Oh their pistachio baklava was as good as the best ones we had in Turkey. Will def come back! Tip: grab food to go then eat at the Overlook public area with the best ocean view! read more

Warm greetings from the owners made me feel instantly at home--especially as a Turkish American ordering in my (limited) Turkish. The lentil soup was vibrant and zesty with a perfect hint of lemon, the baklava crisp and fresh with generous nuts and a pistachio dusting, and the cold ayran yogurt drink was heavenly on a hot day. After the Pike Place crowds, this was the perfect retreat. Thrilled to return after first visiting 35 years ago--still amazing, still made with love. We'll be back! read more

After seeing this restaurant on my first full day in Seattle, I knew I had to try something from them. I ended up getting there the next day for a late lunch. The line moved relatively quickly and those with more complicated orders moved off to the side to wait while their orders were filled to make room for the next customer. There was an older and younger woman working and when I got up to the counter I was helped by the older of the two. Both of them seemed very friendly and I know that I received excellent service when ordering. I ordered a small cup of the lamb stew, as I do love lamb and hadn't had any in a while, and it wasn't long between placing my order, paying in cash (they take card as well but I try my best to use cash when supporting local/small businesses), and then receiving my order to go. The restaurant was clean and fairly quiet with those dining in and those getting orders to go, but it was such a lovely day I wanted to go find a good spot outside they do have seating inside and roll up windows, great for how sunny it was at the time, but I wanted to be completely outside). I ended up at a public bench not too far away and finally dug into the stew. It was fresh, flavorful, hearty, and hot! One of my favorite things I had in Seattle. Very meaty, with each morsel of lamb being nice and tender. I highly recommend stopping here for some flavorful food. read more
