Awesome food, hidden gem in CP. I was pleasantly surprised to find this local Turkish spot with my bf. We had lunch on a Sunday and it was very busy. We were able to get outdoor seating. The service was on the slower side given it was Sunday afternoon but our server was friendly and gave us good recommendations.

The guys who served us was soo nice. His name is Orhan. Thank you for serving us. Place was okay. You can have fun with Turkish Mediterranean cuisine. Some appetizers not soo good. Tarama, Armanien Beans, Babaganush and livers not good as I expected. The need to do better than now. Other courses was good. Come the place, call Orhan and have fun.

Had a wonderful lunch here. Lamb and chicken with Bulgar (ate too fast to take a picture) I had octopus as an appetizer and it was marvelous. Such a wonderful place to dine and the service is just great. Parking is a bit tough as it is on a busy street.

First time trying Turkish food. It was amazing. I will definitely come again. The food was great – the chicken was tender and delicious. The Hummus and bread tasted very good. I tried the Turkish soda (gazoz) orange flavor and I’m obsessed. The staff was attentive and friendly. Dessert was amazing, I’m not sure how to spell it but it’s with a K.

We had a great experience at the restaurant today. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. The staff was very accommodating, especially with our baby. We got the mixed grill, falafel, and Shepard salad, which were all perfect.

My husband and I have been to this restaurant on multiple occasions. They never disappoint. The food is always fresh and delicious. I wanted to leave a review today because a couple weekends ago, we went with a large group of 15 and the service was phenomenal. Our server was on point from start to finish. Thank you again for making our experience a great one!

We’ve tried Beyti Kebab which I like and specially they cut it into small pieces which is satisfying for me easy to eat. My brother liked the liver a lot and lamb tikka was really nice but little bit hard to chew. Overall nice food you don’t feel heavy after eating. Sharing is good.

Here you will find one of the best tasting Turkish food. Funny just found out I visited their other restaurant years ago in West Caldwell and that was my worst Turkish restaurant ever. Hopefully they improved. Definitely will visit the Clifside Park location again.
