Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The design here is completely authenti, from the carpets and lanterns to the decorative plates on the walls and all the other details. The lady in charge was very warm, and when we asked for Turkish music, they played a set of beautiful nostalgic songs that made the atmosphere even nicer. Their soups tasted like the little backstreets of Istanbul. The food was very delicious and truly hit the spot. If I come back to this city again, I will definitely return here.

Went for a company holiday luncheon, and absolutely loved both the food and atmosphere. The warm homemade bread, extensive Sampler Platter made the Combination Kabobs (lamb and beef) hard to finish, but somehow I did. The meal was finished with a hot turkish coffee. Top notch!
