    Chicken combo platter
    Pooja P.

    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!!!!

    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 !

    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.

    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.

    The Turkish delights here were the perfect consistency and so delicious! The service was really friendly and let us get a box with 2 of each flavor of Turkish delight so we got to try them all. The baklava was also amazing! There isn't much seating inside so if it's busy you're definitely not going to find a spot to sit but can grab and go!

    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!

    Wonderful food, Turkish delight, and coffee! The family that owns it is wonderful too! I got the lamb combo platter and it was tasty!

    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!

    Doner Sandwich

    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.

    We love this place. The main reason we come to Seattle. So delicious! It is a simple "mom & pop" type shop with the BEST food. It is a hidden gem. Right near the end of Pike Market area across the street from the park. A MUST STOP!!!

    Semra Q.

    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.

    Does anyone know if this place offers gluten free items?

    If you don't get the bread, then you'll probably be fine. It's a very old fashioned place so I don't even think the owners know what that is. Very tasty food though.

I'd never had Turkish food before and was pleasantly surprised by our experience here. Our waiter recommended ordering quite a bit to share, so we ended up with about 5 small plates and 3 larger plates for the table. Everything I tried was fantastic, especially the Kereviz, Tavuk Pirzola, Pide, and Borek. The flavors were different from anything I had ever had, and they were all very good! My husband ended up eating most of the steak as we were all full, and he really liked it. I had read some not so great reviews about their steak, but it turns out they had changed farms about a week before we dined there, so it seems like that was successful. I tried a bite and it was delicious. The drink offerings were good. Their cocktails were interesting and well balanced, and I enjoyed a Turkish wine. In terms of service, our server wasn't very knowledgeable and couldn't answer several questions we had. There was also a disconnect among the staff, as multiple servers asked if we wanted another drink after we'd already ordered one with someone else. My biggest note was the noise level. Between the loud music and the sound of other diners, it was nearly impossible to hold a conversation, which was a bummer since we were hoping to catch up with family. On a positive note, one of the owners noticed my mother-in-law had been given a fork for her ice cream, brought her a spoon, apologized, and even gave us a kitchen tour. It was a nice gesture. Hamdi exceeded my expectations and was a hit with my mother-in-law. I'd definitely return, but probably just with my husband next time, since it's not the spot for catching up with a group.

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.

    This is worth a review!!…read more Situated across from our hotel, this caught our eye upon arrival and we Missed having dinner here by minutes but went for lunch on our way to the train station. Its influence is Mediterranean in the best possible way. Exclusive menu of options that offer you the "best of" experience. We started with hummus platter which was so yummy. Not smooth like Lebanese but perfect nonetheless. We also enjoyed the Gorgonzola salad and Paloma pita and a side of two falafel. Made to order and seasoned perfectly. Food came quickly and the service was just right. We sat outside and enjoyed the cool morning and just watched people wander by. They have a good wine list and other drinks but we just had water. Also, the chocolate chip cookie got two thumbs up from the Cookie Monster. The restaurant has plenty of seating and had Friday night Flamenco. We were $80 out the door which felt a bit steep but it was the best food we experienced in Our short stop in Seattle.
