Straightforward Turkish specialties, always robust and authentic, in a vibrant neighborhood place with an attractive waitstaff. Service is done with flair and since a recent renovation the setting is quite glamorous. It's large, so although it's busy you can usually get a table at short notice. Definitely my go-to spot!

What a find!! In a small strip-type mall on River Road in Edgewater, Tosun checks every box. The food is authentic Middle Eastern, of high quality and tremendous value. A four kebab platter for two with sides and bread and bread and salad was just $85 and there was enough left for lunch for two the next day!! It's BYOB, so there's even more savings there. Highly recommended!!
