Lets cut to the chase. This place is cozy and calm, with a nice garden entry and outdoor seating. I was greeted on arrival by Tori, and that greeting... read more was wholesome. Yes, the place looks understaffed but it actually helped me have a better experience in a way. In fact, every table is attended by a staff member atleast twice to make sure everything is going well. If at all any, the wait time here felt better than that at other places. Let me tell you why. This is a place where you come with your family and spend time talking while waiting, and while having food. This is a place where you come with your girlfriend on a weekend morning and have a lovely conversation that makes your relationship more beautiful. Some people might say that the service is slow. To be honest, it’s not slow and one reason could be that they’ve learnt from past feedback. My order arrived in 15 minutes. I was given my drink first, my Garlic bread next and my main dish a while after. They made sure my table had something to eat/drink. I see the wait time as the time you will spend with your loved ones while enjoying a decent instrumental music on mid-low volume in the background, while waiting for fresh and delicious food that’s worth the wait. This is not a fast food centre. They cleaned the tables straight away when customers leave, even though the place is not very busy. I’ve seen lots of other places where they leave the plates on the table for hours. Overall, if you want to set your mood right, if you want to settle small misunderstandings with your close ones or just want to get some relief from the work- life stress, I would personally recommend this place. P.S: NO. I AM NOT BEING PAID FOR THIS REVIEW.

Visited again after a 30 year gap and loved it all over again. Its certainly changed but still great. Vegetarian options: Good range of vege options.

Such a lovely family-owned restaurant with both Turkish and Italian cuisines. I highly recommend visiting for wholesome and delicious dishes. They make everything from scratch including pasta and baklava which... read more is fantastic! ⠀ I loved the ambience here. We visited on a Jazz night so our spectacular dinner was accompanied with wonderful music. ⠀ ????Mezze ($30) - 4 dips served with bread⠀⠀ ????Mixed seafood casserole ($22)⠀⠀ ????Lamb Babaganush ($27)⠀⠀ ????Ravioli Scallops ($24)⠀⠀ ????Lamb and Adana kebab ($29)⠀⠀ ????Vegetarian Supreme Pide ($19)⠀ ???? Chocolate Tortino ($16)⠀ ???? Baklava ($6)⠀ ???? Kunefe ($15) ⠀ The star of the show for me was the Adana, it was some of best lamb I've ever had because it was so juicy, tender and easy to cut through! I also enjoyed the ravioli, it was impressively smooth, soft and creamy.⠀ ⠀ Even though we were so full, we couldn't stop snacking on the bread and dips because it was just so yummy! The chocolate lava cake oozed so beautifully and almost fell off the plate! It was so satisfying. I was the most excited to try the baklava and it definitely satisfied my cravings. The pastry was incredibly flakey, not too sweet and I loved the pistachio flavour.⠀ ⠀ This was my first time trying kunefe and I was so impressed. It was the sweetest dish with a hint of cheesiness and very crunchy.
