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!!!!

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 !

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.

turkish baklava

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!

Super delish authentic turkish delights coffee and baklava. What a real treat to find on Pike Market area. Friendly service and authentic ambience.

Kulaly K.

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!

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!

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.

Cafe Turko was a nice little surprise in Fremont. We tried the Turkish coffee and pomegranate tea…read moreand both were really good, but honestly the staff might be the best part of the place. Super friendly, welcoming, and the kind of people who make you feel like you've been there before even when it's your first time. We didn't actually come hungry enough for a full meal, which I immediately regretted after looking around. The lentil soup is definitely happening next time, and then I saw the Beyti Kebab coming out of the kitchen... yeah, that basically settled it. So somehow we came in for Turkish coffee and tea and left planning an entire meal for our next visit. I haven't even tried the food yet and Cafe Turko already got me making dinner plans. Well played.

We have come here a few times now! The food tastes decent…read morestand out dishes are the kebabs and the muhammarah. Appetizer portions are very small for the price (especially the dolmas) and the portions in general are very inconsistent (some items have huge portions for the price and some like the family platter we expected to be bigger). The pasta with yoghurt is not very flavorful I would skip and opt for another hummus instead. Presentation of the food is beautiful and the service is amazing, prompt and the servers do a great job so make sure to tip well. Desserts are not worth the price. The ambiance is great and feels authentic to turkey. Parking is street parking and can be difficult to find at dinner time so I would come early. Overall great place for a group or 3-5, I wouldn't reccomend this for a larger group.

My favorite was the borek and the dorado. He loved his steak. A few notes of feedback for the restaurant, and an FYI for other diners: I'm pescatarian. The calamari was served with a housemate tomato sauce. When they served it, they shared that it had lamb broth in it. When I asked about it, the waiter commented that it was just broth. Broth or not, lamb biproducts not something I eat. There is a hot sauce that can be added on to the steak. It's $4. We didn't order it, yet it was brought to us and added to our bill. If there's a charge for add on, it would probably be best if customers are asked if they actually want it.

We came to Hamdi for a celebratory dinner following our recent wedding. The food was good and our…read moreserver, Matthew, was attentive, kind and made great recommendations. Unfortunately, two aspects of the experience have stayed with us for less positive reasons. First, the 28 oz. porterhouse was listed simply as "MP," and the price was not disclosed when we ordered. We only discovered when the bill arrived that it was $209. At that price, the restaurant should share the market price with guests rather than putting them in the position of having to ask. With tax and the automatic 20% gratuity, our dinner for two came to $524. More disappointing, though, was how the evening ended. We were seated directly in front of the open kitchen and had watched chef/co-owner Berk Güldal warmly acknowledge other guests taking the restaurant's kitchen tour throughout the evening. We hadn't requested a tour and actually tried to leave without doing one as the restaurant was getting busy, but our server caught us and insisted we go through. The other kitchen staff were lovely--one even congratulated us on our marriage. But when our server brought us to Berk and began to introduce him, Berk turned his back to us and would not acknowledge us. Our server waited awkwardly for him to turn around, eventually gave up, and moved us along toward the exit. What was that about? Who knows. Having grown up in and worked in hospitality for more than three decades, I understand that restaurants get busy and chefs have a lot going on during service. But if a restaurant is going to insist that guests tour the kitchen, basic acknowledgement from the chef/owner doesn't seem like an unreasonable expectation--particularly after we'd spent the evening watching him extend that same courtesy to other guests. I wish the food were what stood out most when I think back on Hamdi, because it was good. Unfortunately, what has stayed with us instead is a $209 "market price" for a porterhouse that wasn't disclosed when we ordered, and an unnecessarily rude ending to an otherwise lovely meal.

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.

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.
