Today we started with the $19.99 (for 2) appetizer which was outstanding. Best Falafel we've EVER had. The Doner was amazing for our main meal. Try this place,you won't be disappointe, very authentic Stopped in Saturday for lunch around noon.  It was just us and the owner, Soner, on this visit.  Turned out Mehmet would serve us and we had the opportunity to have a nice chat with him between courses.  We ordered  the Lamb skewer, fries and salad, and Adana, rice, and salad $12.99 every day specials that come with a cold beverage (sodas or waters).  Portion sizes are appropriate and very reasonably priced. Authentic Istanbul Turkish Mediterranean food.  We enjoyed chatting with Soner and learning what else he has in store coming up at the restaurant.  Very happy we gave this place an opportunity and we look forward to coming back and trying more menu items. Restaurant has been there for a year now and is well worth the ride to give it a try if your looking for a taste of this authentic cuisine.

To start we ordered the Lava bread with different dips: - hummus - haydari - babaganoush My favorite was the haydari, it was delicious and fresh. For dinner I ordered the chicken Adana kebab. The meat was tender and well seasoned. It came rice, a side salad and mixed vegetable. My overall experience was positive and great.

The side of diced tomatoes that came with the kebab was surprisingly memorable -- I'm pretty sure those were the sweetest and juiciest I've ever had. They were probably shipped from the Mediterranean, lol. Service is truly genuine and kind. He brought us a free small side of babaganoush to try. It felt like he had read my mind because I was thinking about ordering it later in case there was still some lavas bread left. Will return!

I wanted something not too heavy and luckily found an amazing Turkish restaurant next door with great value! The owners were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a falafel with a side of frees, I believe it was only like $11 or $13. Pretty good price and I left extremely full! The restaurant has a good amount of tables with very authentic Turkish decor and memorabilia. I stopped because I was nearby but I'll definitely be back again if I'm nearby or just in the mood for some good Turkish food at a great price!

We did an appetizer taster plate with all different dips to be eaten with their big balloon bread (get seriously look like balloons when they come out). The bread is cooked in house and you just rip pieces of it off and scoop up there different dips. There were different flavored hummus ones and savory veggie ones that were all delicious. That bread was really good too. My friend got something with big, juicy, tender pieces of lamb that I should have also gotten because it was so delicious! My thin sliced lamb done was good and the meat was so well seasoned. The veggies were all fresh and blended nicely with the meat. I would have enjoyed a pita to put it on (more like a gyro I guess) and some extra tatziki sauce, which was really delicious too. The waiter was very professional and friendly and great at sharing recommendations with us. The place has a classy decor and quality feel to it, so this is a great date or business dinner restaurant.

I had two cold appetizers; the ezme and hummus with warm pita bread, the lamb shank entree, and pistachio baklava. I was so surprised at the size and portion servings for the lamb shanks, one piece would have suffice, but I got the whole meal of TWO. I could only finish half of one and had to box the rest up to go. The lamb was so tender that it literally fell off the bone with just the slightest touch.

Lale is a small, cozy restaurant with the most delicious food. I am a huge fan of Mediterranean food, but had not had Turkish food before. I ventured to try out a few new things and everything was stunning. Fan favorites for me and the table included the mixed grill (even though it says serves two, if you order appetizers it can absolutely serve 3), the hummus (truly some of the best I've ever had), and the Kunefe. The Kunefe - oh my goodness - it's like nothing I've ever had before, but our table devoured it and stated that they just found their new favorite dessert. The service is attentive and you can tell that there is a lot of love put into the food that is served to you. I look forward to returning many, many more times in the future!

The food was just as good as I remembered from a few years ago. It can be difficult to find consistency in restaurants these days, so I really appreciate that the quality hasn't changed. It's nice to have a spot like Sourdough to add variety to the rotation of mostly American breakfast spots. I ordered the Sourdough Bread Plate, which is a large portion. Even though it's listed on the lunch menu, I was still able to order it for breakfast. Their bread is incredible, and everything tasted so fresh! The ezme is a wonderful addition to add to the avocado and labneh toasts. I also tried the Turkish coffee, but as someone who doesn't drink black coffee, it wasn't quite for me. I would recommend it mainly to those who enjoy strong, black coffee, though it was a nice touch that it came with a Turkish delight! My only minor critique is that the staff weren't around very much. Our server checked in on us once, and after waiting a bit for someone to bring the check, we eventually just walked up to the counter to pay. Nonetheless, everyone was very friendly!

The servers were very nice and it did take a bit of time for our food to arrive but it was worth the wait. They have a breakfast and lunch menu. The bread was served with a sour cherry jam and butter which was amazing and not overly sweet, and paired well with the chewy slight crisp texture of the bread. Kid menu - honestly very simple but also a good portion. The server brought me a side of maple syrup for the pancake; the pancake was thick and on the drier side. The egg was cooked well, with a bit of runny yolk which I enjoyed alot. Menemen Soujok plate - a flavorful dish with the peppers and tomatoes and the soujok (turkish sausage) was peppery but very good. The scrambled eggs were wonderful.
