    This was a first time experience. The place is a two story vintage house converted into a Turkish restaurant. They have outside and inside sitting. I opted for inside sitting. The inside sitting is divided by room so it is not your typical restaurant seating. It is a cozy experience. The food was well presented and seasoned. Though what I ordered was good, I could not get an outstanding experience because my plate was more room temperature than my taste buds expected. The other two guests' plates were steaming hot or hot as they should be, but mine seemed to have waited for the other two plates to be done so it got room temperature cold. I ate it anyway since it had good flavor regardless. I let the waitress know after the fact, and to my surprise, she brought a dessert to take home and apologized for the inconvenience. I was not expecting anything, I was just letting them know so they can prevent this small mistake from happening again since it can affect the food experience. Now, the desserts are very good as well. They show you a tray with many desserts and explain to you each of them. Our table chose two different desserts. They were good and unique. So, if you want a place to just eat desserts, this place has you covered. They have small food plates, big food plates and a variety of desserts. Beside the food temperature of my plate, I still will recommend this place. I will surely visit this place again. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

    It started as not good as no one was there to seat us despite a reservation , we called through the kitchen as we see people there . It took 15 minutes before someone came to the hostess table . It was a good thing that the good was superb delicious . The lamb chop was well cook and tasty. The filled dates salad was so good as well . And the free bread love it

    Amazing experience overall. The service was very quick and the staff made excellent recommendations. The grilled eggplant was our favorite dip. Our group ordered the lamb shank, beyti special and Mediterranean Sea bass and everyone was very happy with their choices. There were also vegan options for one in our party. We will be back, hopefully on a night it’s not raining so we can sit in the patio.
