    The waitress was super warm and friendly and the food delicious! After dinner we order the pistachio espresso which was unique and lovely, and we were presented with a complimentary dessert! A poached pear which tasted like it had been poached in lightly mulled cider (which I very much enjoyed) , and a scoop of a creamy ice cream type dessert which my husband loved. This is just a consistently great place! Highly recommend!

    Traditional and modern Turkish cuisine in this family owned business. The wait staff was very helpful and attentive. Reservation is recommended. This evening there was a large family gathering which added to the noise level. Shared the red lentil and the gozleme soup and had shrimp kovourma and moussaka, all of which were generous servings that made lunch the next day, and finished with a recently discovered milk baklava. Will definitely go back!
