Been on my list for couple years and finally checked out this place over the weekend.The food was delicious, the flavors were fresh and inviting.The adana kebab was the pick of the lot. The kunefe was made to perfection.They had a good selection of hookah .The ambience was a bit loud and a bit outdated but other than that everything else was top notch.

Such a lively atmosphere - belly dancer, DJ, dance floor with patrons and staff dancing. Food was good. Waitress steered me away from something I was going to order and recommended the ground lamb. An enjoyable night!

Chicken kabob is very dry and salty. Then the side of cabbage is salty too. We could not eat anything other than the rice!

One of the horrible place. Worst Management. Owner is greedy for money I think. I made reservation and went to celebrate one of family person birthday. They demanded to spend atleast $50 per person to dine in inside restaurant if not we will be seated in patio where they stored all their extra chairs and tables. Seriously.Food : We ordered Feta Salad which came with a big slice of frozen Feta slice couldn’t even cut after using the serving knife.Ordered Falafel they gave us uncooked, been a Mediterranean restaurant they don’t even know the falafel is cooked or not. When we asked about the dish they literally took the plate and brought back with a blackened deeply fried falafel. Not sure if they chopped the falafel from the plate they took or the new falafel.Hummus was goodBlueberry mule is good.Hoookah is good.Waitress service is good

We were seated in the enclosed outdoor patio. The music was so loud we requested to have it turned down twice. They did for a short period of time then blared it again. We couldn’t even talk amongst our group. Also be aware it is more of a hookah bar than restaurant…so if you don’t mind not being able to see your friends or talk to them due to loud music and the haze of smoke..then you will be fine.

This is a hard review to leave because I'm a pretty plain-jane, not so adventurous eater. ? And they were out of the only salad I liked, so the chicken kebab was recommended. No surprises, I disnt eat the cabbage or other veggies it came with, but the chicken had a good grilled flavor and the rice was quite flavourful even though I had to pick out the chick peas. ? Mom ate every bit of her feta salad. They were very accommodating to help make the meal a special birthday event for a family member, so there was plenty of room for our large family.

Extremely expensive and they charged us gratuity for 3 people. Due to a Turkish event we were forced to order from a special menu however the event didn't happen. It was just a scheme for charging $50 per person and gratuity separately. Drinks were not great. Food was dry. Overall experience is okay. Wouldn't recommend or visit again.

We tried this spot last Friday for a friend's bday and what a secret. The food Was delish ! We were busy talking we forgot to take a lot of pics. Some tried the whole fish branzino, it was savory and nicely seasoned. The appetizer platter we tried had a variety of dips and the bread and oil was nice as well. I had a taste of falafel and Greek salad. The icing on the cake was the belly dancer and live DJ who got us all moving on the dance floor. Let's say excellent vibe and awe bday turn up spot. Live music on Friday and Saturday. What's not to love , try it out you will get a 2for1in thr burbs

Good part: Food unbelievably good and tasty. Staff very friendly.Bad part: They won't change the coal for hookaah for the price that pricy.

We usually come here for hookah, tea and knafeh. Emreh is super nice and welcoming. They’re super friendly with our dog and always go above and beyond. We either sit in the patio or outside open area when the weather is nicer.

I had a disappointing experience at the restaurant on Friday night. After ordering a drink and briefly leaving for the restroom, I returned to find my full glass missing from the table. When I approached a waiter, they seemed indifferent and didn't apologize. It took an hour for them to replace the drink, but by then, I had already started my dinner. When I requested to remove the replacement drink from the bill, another waiter unexpectedly cleared my unfinished lamb dish. The situation escalated when they charged me for a drink I never touched, leading to a heated exchange. While they eventually removed the drink charge, the overall service and rude behavior were unacceptable. I advise against visiting this place if you value a respectful dining experience.
