I went in for a quick bite but ended up ordering a good amount of food. I got hummus, baba ganoush, sigara boregi, tabbouleh, the homemade ayran and a platter with most of the meats (meat platter maybe 🤔 idk), I can't remember the name but all of them were so delicious, well seasoned, the kofta was medium rare which I didn't expect but boy was it yummy. With the hummus and baba ganoush we got some bread with sesame seeds and made it much more enjoyable to eat them with. I'm not sure why this place is not more highly rated, the service, atmosphere and food of course is just on point. I have to come back for the coffee and pídelers.
Wonderful experience eating here! My husband and I had been wanting to try this place for a while after a couple people mentioning how good it was. We finally made it out yesterday and it was amazing! Good quality, lots of options and friendly service! Can’t wait to come back and try more things!
It was my boyfriend and I's first time having Turkish food, and it was not only delicious, but the experience here overall was so wonderful. We tried two different foods ( a kebab platter and a Turkish pizza ) and both were so flavorful! Service was AMAZING as well. We're so excited to become regulars here going forward 🥰♥️ thank you for the amazing food!
What a great meal. I have been to this restaurant twice now and I am amazed at this food. I have a daughter in law that is from Turkey and this is where she loves to eat. So I think that speaks to the authenticity of this place. Great food at every course! I recommend the gyro platter!
This Turkish restaurant was absolutely delicious. The food was high quality, generous in portion, and certainly seemed authentic. Everything we had was flavorful, fresh, and deeply satisfying. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. The decor was also lovely and added to the warm, inviting atmosphere. I would gladly come back again and again. As an added bonus, I also enjoyed visiting the market a couple of doors down in the same plaza, which made the whole outing feel like a little adventure. Being able to walk around a bit before getting back in the car was a nice extra touch. Highly recommended. I will absolutely be back.
The food is INCREDIBLY delicious! I want to eat every single item on the menu, so I'll have to figure out how to eat here more often! Everything is very well-presented. I don't like spicy food, but all items are clearly marked for spiciness, and everything was perfectly seasoned and delicious. 🤤 The service was excellent: not interrupting every two minutes, but still very attentive. I liked that all the service staff worked together and helped each other out. The restaurant was super busy, but we never felt rushed. I was shocked how busy they were in the middle of a Wednesday- they didn't have an open seat! The tables and atmosphere are fairly simple (and the restrooms weren't horrendous but could definitely be cleaner...), but the food and service definitely make it a worthwhile visit! The prices are also very reasonable: our two entrees with a side and three different drinks was only $39 after tax! 😲 I'm already looking forward to my next meal here!
Best Turkish restaurant in Cary!! Ordered two items, doner plate and chicken shish kebab. Both the items were very delicious. Neither too spicy nor too mild, just the perfect blend of spices. Was happy with the service as well. Will try different items in future.
This place is a gem. Everything was delicious. Highly recommend the pide. The liver and mezz platters were also delicious. I need to come back to try the kebab, saw some people eating it and it looked great. Would recommend walking over to the Turkish grocery store nearby if you have a wait for your table!
I almost didn’t dine here because as I got out of my car, I saw a huge sign reading, BEST WINGS in a neighboring restaurant window. I said, next time. I am so happy that I tried this restaurant. It was lunch time and there was a short wait. I liked the quaintness of this restaurant and the vibe was nice. I was seating, the menu was placed on the table. I reviewed it, I loved that it boast of two languages. I knew that I wanted to try the lamb shish kabobs! I did, they were cut into chunks and served with a small salad that included a banana pepper along with regular salad ingredients- very tasty. Loved the bread oil, looked to have sun-dried tomatoes, thyme (maybe), garlic, chili powder, I think- whatever it was made of was DELICIOUS, smile. The bread, DELICIOUS! I ate all of it. Very fresh and my palate was happy. I would revisit this restaurant with friends, it felt wry international and the ambience and guest and friendly service was deeply appreciated! Go and see for yourself. I love exploring new and different restaurants. I only took one picture because I was excited to eat. Also, the Turkish tea and one packet of sugar was lovely. Great presentation! I took my baklava out for a sweet treat later.
We visited this place for Turkish food and were pleasantly surprised. The food was very authentic - we tried Adana kebab, lentil soup, and tea with sweets, and everything tasted just like in Turkey. The service was excellent - very friendly and attentive. Definitely 5 stars! The only suggestion is to refresh the interior; a new, authentic Turkish design would match the amazing food perfectly.
