Delighted to have discovered this gem of a Turkish restaurant! The food here is absolutely fantastic, with each dish bursting with authentic flavors and aromas. From the succulent kebabs to the flavorful mezes and mouthwatering desserts, every bite is a delightful journey through Turkish cuisine. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful dining experience. Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur of Turkish cuisine or new to it, I highly recommend this restaurant for a memorable culinary adventure.

This was my first time. I was near the neighborhood and was looking for restaurant recommendations. I also saw it in Rock Star Eater’s channel. I had the lunch special. The food was delicious. I loved the lentil soup, the rice and the red sauce. The bread was freshly made. Will definitely go again, I need to try other dishes.

I am going to give 4 stars based on my 3 visits. Sadly the last one the food was a disappointing. They are open late which is great to find a place in Orange county. Our first visit was late at night & great. My second & best visit was lunch time over the summer, It is the best value & I would highly recommend, Their lunch special is the best You get to have some soup & sides. Our last visit, I ordered the Iskender, My wife ordered the Doner. being a big fan of iskender I was very disappointed. I am not going to call it Doner. It must have been all the left pieces. This was small pieces of meat, More like Kavrulmus et. Should never leave the kitchen. We were in a rush I had little to eat & took it to go. The owner is amazing I had to let him know when I was leaving he wanted to make me ADANA which I had there before & should have just ordered that. We had to leave but it tells you how they handle a problem how great of an operation this is & the reason for 4 stars. I just wish I had a good iskender but would stay away from that next time. Not knowing what the kitchen might send out.

Truly amazing and deliciously cooked kebabs with amazing side dishes. Their babaganoush is perfectly made, and it comes with fresh pita bread and dipping oils. The meats tend to be a bit well done, so ask the server to prepare them juicier.

This is one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. I've had a lot of Mediterranean food, but this place is no match. The food was exquisite, very large dishes, we didn't finish and had to take a doggie bag. The personnel are very friendly with the owner greeting you a regularly checking up on your table for anything. He is very passionate and it shows. Definitely 10 stars!!! Don't miss out if you are in the area.
