I highly recommend Hunkar Restaurant. It’s my go to Mediterranean restaurant. The staff is so friendly and the food is flavorful and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the Shepard salad and zucchini pancakes as an appetizer. I promise you’ll be craving those zucchini pancakes; they are so good! Oh! And if you are an adventurous eater try the fried liver. It is my go to for an appetizer or main course. Speaking of main course, the shish kebabs are prime! Tonight I tried the Hunkar begendi with chicken and… boy was it yummy. If you aren’t convinced this is a great restaurant, you truly are missing out.

This food was amazing..the hummus was excellent and didn’t taste like any other hummus I’ve had. I’ve had hummus in Greece and Israel and this hummus beats that hummus hands down. The food is SUPERB and the best part of the restaurant was the service. The owner and his sons were bringing out the food and kept checking on us and even gave us a complimentary appetizer. Definitely will be back again!!

Good food and service! First time I ordered from this restaurant; I ordered the Erik Bamya which is an entree that includes pieces of lamb with baby okra in tomato sauce that comes with rice. The tomato sauce is very acidic and flavorful. I did not like how the rice was not proportional with the entree serving. It was a small serving of rice. They gave me a lot of good quality bread which was hot and crispy at the time of pick-up. I enjoyed that. The staff was friendly, helpful and quick to serve when I walked in. I will give this place another try in the future.

On a Saturday night, we had a little gathering for 2. I must admit that I didn’t anticipate it being so fantastic! I can now guarantee that you will adore the hummus because they add something different from the traditional one. All of the components on our mixed grill were lovely, delectable, and a good size. Our waiter, Ugur, was such a nice and helpful guy; request him to brighten your night. We will very definitely come back.

I had my baby shower here yesterday. Me, my family and friends had such an amazing time. The food was top notch from appetizers to main course. We were in their private party room area, if you have an event coming up definitely call and speak to Sercan to book your event. You wont regret it. The view is amazing, service is amazing, they provide you ipad and speakers so you can enjoy the music you would like and dance! I cant even express how grateful I am to have my very special day at their restaurant.
