It was our first time here last night. We recently got back from Turkey and wanted to try this place as we loved the Turkish food there especially the way they make their kababs. Place is classy with soft Turkish music gives you the feel of turkey. The server was extremely friendly and assisted us with options to suit our tastebuds. We ordered the assorted pide which was baked to perfection and melted in our mouths. The kabab was also authentic, finely cooked to perfection and extremely delicious. Would definitely visit here again, brought back our memories from Turkey.
Excellent food and service! I visited there couple of times and this place exactly represent Turkish Cuisine. If you visit on weekends , you can get a chance to find delicious İskender and doner. However, make sure you have a reservation, coz friday,saturday and sunday is very busy.
This place has the best kebabs and seafood. The restaurant doesn’t look good from outside, but the interior is amazing with traditional Turkish design. Service is a bit slow, but i love the food and definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to try real Turkish food.
Initially, we stumbled upon this spot looking for a place that we could get a Turkish coffee. Well, we got it. It was good. We keep going back for it. One day I had a sweet tooth, but not for baclava. Try the kunefe she said. So i did and it was really good!
Went back again to try the food. Gavurdagi salad was nice and refreshing. I'm not a fan of lamb, but everything else I've had there, I'd go back and order again. Pides, poultry, kabobs... the burek cigars left me feeling a little...meh. But overall very clean, nice friendly staff and decent food.
Their homemade 'ayran' -which if you don't already know is basically yogurt blended with water to a watery consistency- will quench your thirst for the whole day!
Mentioned to the manager if they had a rooftop patio, it would be fantastic!

One tends to bunch all Mediterranean cuisine together and the result is a predictable assortment of dishes. Pasha was a welcomed experience for authenticity and an education in Turkish cuisine. The restaurant was still quiet early in the evening which only added to the enjoyment.
As part of the starting appetizers we were treated to freshly baked Turkish bread straight out of the oven and a small dish of marinated black olives. The lentil soup was smooth and flavorful. The warm zucchini fritters served with yogurt were a delightful starting point before the main dishes.
I went for the Special Beyti Kebab as it was my first choice although other substitutes would have been very satisfying I'm sure. It is made from ground lamb flavored with garlic, hot peppers, parsley and grilled on skewers and wrapped in a lavash bread served with particular sauce and with rice. More flavoring to the rice would have enhanced that central part of the plate but the main part of the plate was quiet filling. Others at the table chose the Pasha sautee with Tender slices of lamb, sauteed with fresh onions, green peppers, tomato sauce and mushrooms served over fries and garlic yogurt. Actual potatoes would probably be a necessary ingredient to this otherwise satisfying dish.
For beverages, I opted for carrot juice. I was warned that it is not what it sounds like. The real drink is actually Şalgam. It is typically made with the juice of red carrot pickles, salted, spiced, and flavored with aromatic turnip (çelem) fermented in barrels with the addition of ground bulgur. It is very different if you never had it before but I wanted to try it because that's what it should be about.
For dessert, I kept away from the usual baklava and was very pleased with my choice that I highly recommend: Kunefe. It is made with cheese pastry soaked in sweet sugar-based syrup. It comes to the table nice and hot and is very flavorful. I had some Turkish tea with it.
All in all it was a lovely discovery that I was pleased to discover.
