    Our Christmas dinner was a delightful surprise. The restaurant served their regular menu, and every dish was a culinary triumph. We started with a flavorful lamb soup and a refreshing kale and pumpkin salad. The highlight was the shrimp bake—a generous portion of succulent shrimp and mushrooms, minimally breaded, which was a pleasant departure from expectations. The lamb shank was tender and satisfying, though a bit understated in terms of seasoning. However, it was still delicious. For dessert, we indulged in baklava, a new experience for us. It was rich, sweet, and absolutely delicious. We can't wait to return and savor these dishes again.

    Really enjoyed our dinner here with friends on Christmas Eve. We shared a few appetizers and starters and each had our own entree. Everything was delicious!

    Appetizers (hummus and shakshouka), bread, and the baklava were great! Traditional Pizza was fair. Entrees were a bit too salty (grilled octopus and the shank). Octopus was a bit overcooked too. The slowed cooked beef entree was good.

    Delicious food, not your average Mediterranean restaurant, more Turkish style, delicious kebabs. Dining room is very nice but the best was the service, it was excellent!

    We will never go back here. Fortunately we were not hungry. My husband ordered steak and he got these few little pieces of steak for $40. I got fish for $33 and very little vegetables. We eat out 4 times a week and once in a while this kind of thing happens but not too often.

    Great place! We tried Aspendos for the first time on the recommendation of friends and it did not disappoint. Food was creative, unique, and delicious. Portions were generous, service excellent, and at a very reasonable price point. We can’t wait to go back!
