Shared the mezze platter and picked hummus, baba ganosh, dolmas, labneh, and olives very good! The hummus was the best! Also shared the mixed grill it was all very good

We, unfortunately, did not have the pleasure of having dinner here, but we did enjoy a lovely dessert with coffee! ☕️ Turkish coffee with revani, Süreyya’s “No Guilt” Baklava and Kataif with Turkish pistachios!Absolutely delicious! Our first time trying real Turkish coffee and homemade baklava ? The staff made very helpful suggestions for choosing dessert and how to enjoy our Turkish coffee ☕️The only downside was we tried the milky-yogurt drink and neither of us liked it ?I would return for dinner—everything looked delicious ?Within walking distance of a neat Seattle attraction—the Fremont Troll check him out!

I hate giving a local business only 1 star. But, I feel so disappointed. I spent $81 on food- Muhammara, Olive Pide, Grilled Chicken Pide, Falafel and Hummus, and Katiaf. The portions were extremely small for the price, and poorly packaged for to go. The pita was not freshly made and a store bought pita from the frozen section would have been better. The Katiaf was flavorless. It was unclear to me if the Grilled Chicken Pide had any form of chicken on it. The olive pide was fine but very small. The falafel and hummus was $17 and only 4 small pieces of flavorless falafel.I never would write such a scathing review for a local business, but this truly might have been one of the worst meals I've had in Seattle.

Grabbed a to-go order of a few vegan dishes: a unique and delicious lentil soup w fluffy pita, amazing salad with the best eggplant on earth, order of satisfyingly nutty halva.Would go back every day. Totally blew off the hinges on what I expect from a restaurant kitchen.Items all well-labeled on the menu so we could easily decide what to enjoy.Hope you guys are here forever!

They catered lunch on a Monday when they were closed and it was amazing! They recommended the amount of food to order based on how many people were attending and it was the perfect amount. Everyone loved it and was giving many compliments. Delivering it was needed and they had no problem doing it.

This has been my go to Turkish/Middle Eastern restaurant for years. The beyti kebab is one of my favorites. The rice is also so fluffy and flavorful. The only thing is that the prices are quite expensive and the portion doesn’t reflect that. But overall, pretty good.

Went to Cafe Turko couple of weeks back. The atmosphere was good, and the server was nice. We have been seated quickly. However, the food was mediocre, small portions and tasteless. For someone coming from middle east, the food is nothing like what it should be, and prices are exaggerated. Moreover, unknowingly we paid the gratuity twice (we weren’t told that it has been already added to the bill). Bottom line is: We paid almost 100$, left hungry, dissatisfied, and most of all won’t be coming back! ??BTW: omelette, falafel, tahini never mesh together! Next time, please serve them separately!
I saw a waiter drop a piece of food and patted it with a napkin and served it to a customer

I loved the Turkish food here at Cafe Turko. The rainbow Hummus is a must here, different flavors, each one with its unique identity tastes amazing.The portion size for the entree was a little small for the price but the quality is amazing.The Turkish coffee was amazing and the glasses were super cute in which they were served.I highly recommend this place.

We have been a regular at Cafe Turko for many years now and I must say the food is just spectacular, the service is exquisite and the environment is very authentic and cozy.We also ordered catering multiple times and we were delighted each and every time about the quality of their service, the price, the food, and the options they provided. Ms Sureyya also made multiple recommendations based on our guests and her recommendations worked perfectly. She also provided detailed instructions as how to reheat which food at what temperature and how long before serving. We were extremely happy with the variety of food choices and based on our guests’ dietary restrictions!Adana, Mousakka, Spicy Chicken Kabab, Rice, Muhammara, Eggplant and Yoghurt appetizers, salad, pita bread were all wonderful and our guests have asked for recipes for all of them!Thank you Cafe Turko!Vegetarian options: Beyond appetizers like Hummus, Muhammara, there are many wonderful options like Falafel, Mousakka, various Eggplant and Cauliflower dishes as well as many wonderful vegetarian salad options.Dietary restrictions: We had guests who were vegan and had allergies to nuts and gluten and Ms Sureyya made wonderful recommendations and provided delicious options accordingly.
Bringing two out-of-towners to Cafe Turko turned out to be a regrettable decision. On this Sunday evening, it was immediately evident that the establishment was running on fumes – understaffed and malfunctioning kitchen equipment. While such things are not uncommon in the restaurant industry, what truly soured the experience was the lack of communication. Instead of managing expectations, the staff opted to hide the truth, all while shamelessly cramming in more diners continuously through the door. The result was a very unpleasant ordeal for my guests: a diabetic left with low blood sugar levels, a wait exceeding an hour and a half for our meals, and an absence of any semblance of service or care towards our table. Attempts to flag down a waiter were close to impossible, with the burden of responsibility dumped onto the guests. Suffice it to say, the evening left a bitter taste in the mouths of both myself and my guests.
