Lamb grape leaves excellent but served cold. I’ve always had them hot, and I think the flavor would come thru even more. Bread on the wow scale 5 helpings for a table of 4. Everyone had the Gyro platter except me. I had a platter of pureed eggplant mixed with cheese cover with a mixture of vegetable, bites of lamb, and there was a sauce that was flavored heavenly, also served was a delicious appetizer platter that was cleaned clean! I’m definitely coming back on my next trip thru. Moderate to pricey but well worth the flavors.

Always consistent, always wonderful and always so full when we leave here. This is an amazing Turkish restaurant and well worth the visit. I wish I could keep it a secret but the cats out of the bag. This is a special place to visit. The Chicken, kabobs, kufta, salad, bulgar and many other dishes, all amazing and right down to the tea and kunafe sweets.

Absolutely delightful. Fast, courteous, attentive staff. Descriptive menu that doesn’t overwhelm you. The atmosphere is perfect for date night or family dinner. Highly recommend any of the sampler platters (appetizers, main course, and dessert). A wonderful experience.

The absolute best Mediterranean restaurant in America! It is a “weekly must have.” It’s evident that their authentic recipes are made from only the freshest ingredient! I simply cannot get enough of this place. I just finished eating and I’m already looking forward to coming here again and again and again.

Stopped here on a whim on our way home from a road trip and so glad we did! had the Gyro kebabs and the lamb kebabs- SO GOOD. The tomato dipping sauce that comes with the bread is out of this world. Service was excellent too! Will definitely return if I end up in the area again.

The food was good. The falafels were amazing, the best we’ve ever had anywhere. You could tell they were made fresh with fresh ingredients. It seems like their meals were very freshly made. Our family enjoyed our meal very much. The portions are good. The price is a bit expensive for us. They had good service. Only complaint was that they all stood in a line behind the counter and watched us while we were eating and it felt a little bit uncomfortable.
