We had a delicious dinner. The samplings of meat were juicy and tender. Comfortable surroundings are our service was excellent.

Stopped here and sat outside on a beautiful nite. We were sat quickly and the food was delish. Got the mezze platter and split the donor dish. Plenty of food for two and the food was great. Only thing to detract was pretty under average service. A little disappointing. Nice place though, glad we stopped here.

Tasty! Healthy! Fun! Mediterranean! This is a long time favorite of mine and many friends. Love getting lamb here. The great deserts. The staff is fun. It has a nice area to eat outside on Lee when the weather is nice, and an exotic atmosphere inside for when it is not! The Baklava is to die for I am told, but I love the rice pudding. Love the Turkish coffee and some lamb chops. A friend loves the Iskender Kebap and chocolate mousse! There is a lot to choose from! Come enjoy an exotic escape from your day!

The food here was delicious, we shared the appetizer sampler, the grape leaves and shepherds salad. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive and gave us great service. We sat outside and had a great experience on the patio; the owner even stopped by our table to check on our experience.

Really great food, reasonable prices, nice ambience, and good service. We make the trip in sometimes we're craving some really good grape leaves!

Best Turkish food around. Reminds of my days back in Ankara. Thank you for the great flood and service.

Great food with great flavors. Service is a bit slow, but enough to be able to enjoy dinner

Did wine tasting with the owner My New Year's Eve. What a great experience! My blog, wine sage review, covered all the details but I have to say I can't wait to go back and eat there too. https://winesagereview.wordpress.com/2023/12/31/12943/

This is a great gem north of Coventry!! The inside is super warm with multiple fireplaces and authentic decor. I came with a big group of people, and we were seated immediately on a Friday night and was pretty empty probably bc of the rain. There's a small parking lot behind the restaurant but there's a much larger one a block away. For the FOOD! So good!!! I tried the Filet Mignon kebabs (5/5) for $22. Meat was cooked perfectly and the sides were fresh and yum!! My bf got the Lamb kebabs (4/5) but the lamb was dry.... Overall great quality food and delicious taste! Would love to try the baklava and ice cream
