For the first time in a long time, it was quiet enough in a restaurant for us to hear each other. Just as we were leaving live music began, but it seemed to be for a private party and,it was pretty delightful, too.

We started with the Turkish Cacik (Tzatziki) and the Organic Greens Salad. Both were made with very fresh, high quality ingredients and were delicious. For my main course, I had the Turkish Style Grilled Meat Ball (Kofte). They were cooked just right and the arrabbiata sauce (a Turkish type of marinara sauce, but better) was special. We look forward to going back to try more of dishes on the menu. We were impressed.

Our server was on her game, and the food was excellent. Think neighborhood gem flying under the radar. We’ll be back, Turkish family in tow. Can’t wait to bring them in.

I had the sea bass special and my husband had the lamb and beef wrapped in pita and sauce dairy free and he loved it! Spacious restaurant with a full bar. I had the Ottoman Lemonade and it was yummy. Highly recommended this neighborhood gem.
