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.
Super delish authentic turkish delights coffee and baklava. What a real treat to find on Pike Market area. Friendly service and authentic ambience.
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!
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!
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!
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.
Stopped here for some turkish delight and have to say I was quite delighted with the little treats. Highly recommend the rose flavored one, as that is the classic. The owner was also very kind and patient and gave great recommendations for flavors. 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

Food: 4.5. Came by for a lunch on a Sunday. There was a short line but it moved quickly. We ordered the Doner Kebab Sandwich and Lamb Combo Platter with Extra lrotein. Food took some time but was provided at the right temperature. My sandwich was excellent. Such good flavor even though not beef, pork, or lamb. I'm not much of a chicken person but this sandwich was so tasty. Nice flavor and texture. My brother said the lamb platter was very good. Service was very friendly. This place is more of a takeout restaurant. There are booths but not very comfortable Service: 4.5 Ambiance: 3 Value: 3.5 read more

My idea of Turkish delights is Applets and Cotlets, which I love. These are the real deal, however. They are delicate in flavor and in texture. Offered in 1/4 lbs. and 1/2 lbs., I opted for 1/2 lbs. with all the flavors they currently had. There was pistachio, rose, strawberry, walnut, peach, and chocolate raspberry. All were fabulous. I love how mom and daughter were working the counter and dad was in the back making the delights. Mom and daughter clearly love their shop and what they were doing and are a "Turkish delight" in of themselves. There are also food items available on their menu. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

I come here for the delicious lamb stew! You can get this served by the cup or bowl as well as served over rice. The lamb is very tender and has chunks of eggplant and other vegetables in there. The Turkish delights are also a big reason people come here. There is not much seating available so I usually take mine to go. Perfect warm treat while you graze the market! read more

Located at the end of pike place. Husband & I decided to try something new we would not find back home. First impression was how welcoming they were. Felt the warmth of the place, like I was at my moms house. I tried the lamb stew & the flavor and softness of the lamb was delicious! Tried their Lokum, made with honey and cornstarch. Super delicious! Thank you! read more
SUPER good. Honestly one of the best doner kebabs and lamb stews I've ever had!!! The owner also let us sample her lentil soup, and I'm obsessed- if I weren't already so full, I would have gotten a huge bowl. Must visit spot when you're in Pike Place!!! They also sell homemade baklava and a lot of differently flavored Turkish delights. Thank you!! read more
I love turkish delight! The old lady who works here was so sweet and worked hard to give good customer service. She weighed and gave me a quarter pound of rose turkish delight, and when I asked which baklava she recommended, she gave me a pistachio one. The baklava was AMAZING. Perfectly flaky and flavorful, I wolfed it down in a few bites. The turkish delight was definitely delightful! I got rose, my favorite flavor. It made a nice breakfast the following morning. So happy to see Turkish Delight in Pike Place! read more
I went back to Turkish Delight to see if they were still 5 stars and yes indeed they are truly 5 star worthy. The baklava was so delicious, sweet flaky, gooey, and just the right amount of chewiness. The lentil soup and lamb stew are also still the best that you'll ever have. read more

This in one of the best Döner Kebabs I have ever tasted. So fresh, you see your meat cut off the döner as you watch it spinning. Order it as they recommend it - such a wonderful combination of flavors. Enjoy your food or dessert and Turkish coffee wile watch busy live of Pike Place Market. The family run business marking you feel so welcome - I love them. I know this will sound funny but I will say it anyway because this place made me feel home I grew up in Sweden, and we have a wonderful Swedish-Turkish population, and this brings amazing perks of fabulous food. Turkish Delight reminds me about wonderful, fresh from the döner meats I had privileged to grew up with - thank you for making my belly so happy today. read more

Awesome small sandwich place. Must try We loved the place and the team's service Definitely recommend. read more
I've never had Turkish food before this, but I'm so glad I stopped! I got a vegetable sandwich for myself, my favorite part was the yogurt sauce. My husband got the döner kabob sandwich. He said it had a good flavor! We both agreed the pita was the best part. So good! We also got the pistachio baklava....drool. I wish I had bought more. Entire meal was fantastic and the two women working were SO nice. The place is small but we were able to sit at a booth and enjoy our meal and some time away from crowds. We will stop again next time we are in Seattle! read more

I've never had turkish delight before and coming here was my first time to buy some. A little cafe that has some food, turkish coffee, and dessert. The turkish delight is a bit pricy but it is worth a try! Every flavor I got was so delicious. I got a turkish coffee ( a bit bitter and strong coffee taste not too sweet), raspberry, Mango, strawberry, lychee ( the fruity ones were very good!), pistachio (has little chunks of pistachio and was good too). You can mix and match different flavors to try different ones since its all measured by weight. They sell turkish coffee grounds too. I got a can for about 10 bucks but realized its cheaper at a turkish grocery store near me. However if you can't get ahold of a grocery store then this is your best bet! read more

Turkish Delight is a MUST. This delightful specialty shop makes the most delicious Turkish delights and baklava. I love bringing these home with me. The turkish delights have soft and delicate flavors--exactly the treat I imagine that Edmund indulged in while with the White Witch in Narnia. This shop has been open since 1982 and I am beyond thrilled to be back after the pandemic to find them still here and thriving! The owner is welcoming, friendly and kind. Make your walk all the way down to the very end of the street when visiting Pike Place. Enjoy a lovely treat with coffee or grab a nice kebab or shewarma here. delights: 1/4 lb for $6.25 and 1/2 lb for $12.50 They are wonderful gifts. read more

My friend came back from a visit to Turkey with Turkish Delight to share, so I had to check them out. Doner Kebab Sandwiches are awesome. Cut straight off the cooker. Turkish espresso is STRONG, will wake you up. Highly recommended. read more

Came in on a busy Sunday afternoon. Seems like a small shop and the older lady took our order quickly. Since this is at the pike marketplace, you're probably going to be waiting in line for a bit. The Turkish expresso was great, but reminder that there're grounds at the bottom of the cup. Baklava was amazing, and the Turkish delights were definitely worth the wait. Firm in the container but melts in your mouth and the flavor comes through. Wishing I bought more read more

Turkish delight store is in the Pike Market place, steps away from the main entrance. I'm glad I tried them. Customer service is super friendly. I learned that they are a family business and they prepare all of their own food. I tried lamb stew and it was delicious. I also highly enjoyed their baklava, it was super rich and delicious. Even if you are not hungry, you must come for baklava. I learned that they make their own Turkish delight dessert. They gave me a couple samples. It was so good, I bought a big box for my friends. I highly recommend this place. read more

Oh my dear God. The lentil soup. The pistachio baklava. The Turkish coffee. The woman who runs the place. The vibe of it all. I'm a pretty picky eater (I like to cook and I tend to cook my own over going out for fear of spending on disappointment) but I went rogue today and I AM SO GLAD I DID. The spices! The flavors! The smile that the woman who runs this heavenly bodega put on my face! I think I've died and gone to heaven. I think I'll die and go again next week. read more

Turkish Delight is one of my favorite restaurants down by Pike Place market. It's a great hard working family-owned restaurant and I've been coming here since I was kid (20+ years). The owners still remember me! I try to visit here every time I'm back in Seattle (very nostalgic). NOTE: They accept cash only!!! FOOD: Few items to choose from... Böreks ($7.75) - Savory pastries are so flaky and baked to perfection! My favorite is the Chicken & Mushroom! They do sell out quick! Döner Kebabs ($11.75) - It changes daily but it's either beef or chicken. I have yet to find a better tasting sandwich elsewhere! They also have variety of Turkish Delights in different flavors and baklava too. There are many overrated restaurants with long lines nearby. Do not skip this little gem! read more

Overall, a great place to stop and grab a bite. They seemed to be understaffed when we went so the wait time was longer than expected. The lentil soup was good and fulfilling but nothing too exciting. The Turkish coffee was great and not too sweet and the lamb wrap was good but the meat was a bit chewy. read more

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.
