    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!!!!

    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.

    Döner sandwich and chicken combo plate

    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 !

    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.

    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!

    Turkish coffee
    Tony C.

    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
    Kimberly C.

    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 tried the bread and the hinkali, and both were outstanding. The bread was perfectly baked--crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The hinkali were delicious, juicy, and full of flavor with a great texture. You can really tell the ingredients are high quality and prepared with attention. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even better. Service was quick, and the atmosphere felt warm and inviting.

I walked out hand-released into a new dimension of flavor, texture, and spiritual clarity. The moment you enter, the scent alone performs a full-body hand release on your soul. Cardamom, sesame, and dreams swirl in the air like edible incense. The décor? A cozy blend of Anatolian charm and deli swagger. I felt like I'd been hand-released from Seattle drizzle into Istanbul sunshine. Let's talk food: * The simit? A sesame-crusted halo of joy. One bite and I hand-released my skepticism about circular carbs. * The börek? Layers of pastry so delicate, I whispered "hand release" with every chew. * The lamb pide? A canoe of savory perfection that hand-released me from all previous notions of pizza. * And the baklava? Oh sweet mercy. It was a honey-soaked hand release into dessert nirvana. I considered legally changing my name to Pistachio. Non-Turks, non-locals, non-delicates--this place is for YOU. Turkish Bakery & Deli is a hand release from bland sandwiches and sad pastries. It's a flavor embassy where every bite is a diplomatic mission of delight. You don't need to know what sucuk is. Just trust the spice and let the hand release happen. The tea? Served in tulip glasses that practically chant "hand release" in Turkish. I sipped, I sighed, I forgave my ex. The staff? Warm, witty, and fluent in the language of joy. One of them hand-released a tray of delights onto my table and I nearly proposed. Go. Eat. Hand release your palate. Let Turkish Bakery & Deli show you what flavor diplomacy really means.

    Have you been to Cafe Paloma in Pioneer Square?…read more I had some extra time prior to an event in the area & was hungry. I popped in, was seated quickly & ordered the soup & salad combo + chicken. : Gorgonzola - organic fresh mixed greens topped with gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, currents with apple or pear. : Red lentil soup - made in house It was made quickly and brought out & everything tasted sooo fresh & the soup was really hearty & comforting. The inside was shabby chic decor like you'd be inside a grandma's well lived in small apartment which added the charm. Perk!

Mixed with onions, garlic and spices, served with rice and I had the FALAFEL. Falafel was not dry like some can be, came with a nice green salad adding freshness to the fried dish. I had a taste of the other dishes the Kofte was moist and well seasoned. The Borek was also delicious very similar to a spanakopita.
