We went there for dinner because a different Turkish restaurant was surprisingly closed. I am so glad that we did because this was fantastic. We are a Turkish American family so we know what the food should taste like and this was 100% exactly what we would eat in Türkiye. My son had Ali Nazik which we never see anywhere in the United States. He was so excited because it's his favorite dish when we're in Türkiye. Everything about this place including the price was excellent. We will definitely be going back.

Chicken insomnia is a great sandwich. It tastes like a breaded chicken breast with buffalo sauce, cole slaw, and sweet pickled cabbage w cheese on a brioche bun. Im sure the recipe is better than that. But that is what it tastes like.

My husband is Turkish so we eat at a lot of Mediterranean places. I'm never a huge fan but I love this place. I crave their manti and soujek pide. And the food is authentic and so is the staff. Definitely worth a try! Don't expect fancy. A really great mom pop restaurant atmosphere.

This food was excellent. I don't usually think of Turkish cuisine but my parents were in town and requested it. Absolutely delicious - the Ali Nazik was superb. Baba ghannoush layered with lamb and crispy pita slices. And the chicken kabab, lahmachun, pide- we're all so great that even as we reflect back we're arguing over which was our favorite dishes. 10/10 Going back !

Excellent, excellent, excellent & authentic Turkish food. When my Turkish partner & I first entered, the decor or ambiance wasn't Turkish so we wondered iffff this was the right place and if the food was truly going to be good. But as we soon as we entered we were greeted in Turkish. We ordered the İskender, Çorbaci Sahara Kebap & lahmacun, & meat pide. Hands down the BEST tasting plates we've tried in the west here. We tried other iskenders in the area but this one stood out: the meat was thinly sliced & tender with the right proportion of bread slices underneath. The bread was drenched in the meat sauce (not dry) & the tomato sauce wasn't bland. We absolutely loved it and wished they had a branch in San Diego (where we reside). The only sad thing is it being too far away from us. 200% recommend!

Chicken kebab and iskandar kabab is amazing. Service is great and food is delicious. They offered free Turkish tea as well.

I remember watching a travel cooking show awhile back and they featured Turkish pizza. I've always wanted to try it and decided to give this place a try! I ordered the dolma stuffed grape leaves, manti dumplings, and lahmacun Turkish pizza. The grape leaves were lemony and a burst of freshness. The manti were cute and tiny, smothered in yogurt sauce and an herby oil. The lahmacun actually came in a pizza box, I added the fresh sides - parsley, onion, and tomato- to the pizza, squeezed some lemon juice and rolled it up like a wrap. Delicious! I ordered via one of the delivery apps. My order was packaged perfectly and delivered quickly. The portion of manti is huge, I had a good amount of leftovers so it's a good price for the amount you get. I will definitely be ordering from this place again! I want to try the other items on the menu.

We recently came by here because I was looking for Turkish ravioli after having visited Turkey in April 2024. We finally found at this place, it is one of the very few restaurants in LA and OC that actually offer Turkish ravioli (manti) on their menu. Found metered parking a couple steps away from the restaurant, got seated inside and proceeded to order the lamb kebab plate + turkish ravioli dish. Both were fabulous, and flavorful, so we got our craving satisfied! They only have 1 person behind the cashier counter, and he also serves as the wait staff, so the service was a bit slow. You self-serve your own water.

This place popped up on my yelp feed this morning and we found ourselves at target this afternoon and so it goes. This was our first time trying Turkish food and I didn't even know what I ordered. I was just pointing at pictures on my phone and asked for a recommendation. The service was friendly and helpful. We felt very welcomed with our six month old baby. The gentleman even filled a cup of hot water to the correct level to heat our babies milk. We got three dishes and they were all incredibly flavorful with fantastic portion size. The ambiance is cool with Turkish music playing in the background and a flower wall for my daughters viewing pleasure. We will definitely be back when we are on that side of town.

Knafeh is one of my favorite desserts and I always return to the Middle East just for this. Most of the knafehs here are a miss so it was a breath of fresh air when I found this cafe and gave us a decently-sizes plate without breaking my wallet. It's not as greasy as I usually prefer but the cheese pull is still great. Still a delicious dessert otherwise. The service took a little longer but the knafeh came out sizzling hot. So, come in with a little patience. I dined there with a friend around 7PM and it was busy. It was a very social and rowdy crowd with limited seating.
