    Our dinners were delicious. My husband and I shared the shepherd’s salad and then had the lamb kebab and the Coban Kavurma. Both were very tasty. I would have liked some warning that the green pepper on my plate with the lamb kebab was super spicy so that I could have avoided that. The kebab came with rice and shredded salad. I would have preferred cooked vegetables as we had already ordered salad. Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely return for dinner. I would also like to see lunch specials on the menu.

    Very different and interesting dishes here. All very tasty just watch out for the extremely hot pepper on the side of the meal. Food was of excellent quality.

    Service was impeccable. Food was delicious. Plenty of time between courses. Easy to hear and talk despite being almost completely full. A real neighborhood gem!

    We came to celebrate our mom's birthday there and the food was absolutely outstanding!! They even brought out her dessert with two little candles to help us celebrate her. We will definitely come back soon!
