I was a bit early to pickup my takeout order, and was offered a complimentary tea while I waited. The atmosphere of the restaurant is comfortable and inviting.

We were immediately greeted by our friendly waiter and escorted to a table. The restaurant was…read morealmost empty as we had arrived at 4 p.m. and by 5 p.m. it began slowly filling up. We ordered a plate for two which consisted of paper-thin beef, chicken, burghul (and broken wheat resembling rice), 2 hot peppers that looked like a pickle (beware), and tomato. This could have fed at least one more adult or 2 cute grand kids, but we left them home with their parents. We were given a generous serving of bread with 2 different types of dips, both delicious, like the entire meal. We will definitely return and hope you'll give it a try. You'll love the ambiance and seating arrangements.

We order a couple of dips, meat platter for 2 and a Pide for good measure and 4 of us had enough food. I especially enjoyed the kebabs as they are done very well. Pide was really good as well.

Decided to come enjoy their weekend brunch which is fairly a new addition to their menu. Firstly,…read morethe ambiance early morning was very calming. Though located in byward market, this restaurant is a steps away from the busy parts. The restaurant itself has an outdoor patio & 2 different dinning areas. One seems to be more vibrant in colour the other room is dark interior with mood lighting. The brunch menu was a fusion of Turkish and parts of Middle East. Here is what enjoyed: Muhamara was our favourite, the perfect blend of cashew and red peppers. Stuffed Grape leaves were alright. Lubneh with Dukkah beats was tasty. The beets added a rich flavour to the yogurt dish. Beef lahmoujoun, the mint/dill sauce it was paired with was absolutely delicious. Turkish Egg, poached eggs with labneh. It was good but eventually the flavour of yogurt was too empowering & it needed a something to balance. I ended up mixing muhamara with it. Shakshuka, this was alright. Black seed pancakes, this was a savoury item served with tabouli. This was probably the least favourite on the table. The flavour was bland. Overall, the experience was good. The service was great! Our food arrived in a timely manner. The server did a great job at examining the menu.

The service is ok, the waiters always very nice but it's kinda slow sometimes especially when it's time to pay. We always need to grab our waiter's attention or stand up and wait next to the cash machine for someone to come and charge us. The food is very good, there was a bit of shrinkflation and around 10 or 15% price increase. But overall it's still great value and feels really high end.

Chairs are plush and the tables are meticulously set. The staff are friendly and check in often to make sure guests are being taken care of properly. We were a party of 5 and ordered the mixed appetizers and Agha Mixed platter for 5. Turnaround was quick and portion sizes were big. They take great care in the way their food is presented. The house bread is soft and fluffy and we ended up getting seconds. Food was flavorful and hit all the right spots. We ended our meal with freshly made kunefe and baklava. The complimentary Turkish tea and coffee paired well with the desserts.

The food was worth the wait though!! We got the small platter which was for 2-3 people. It fed the two of us and we had some leftover to take home as well. The platter includes salad, hummus, garlic sauce, pita, raisin rice and three types of kababs. The rice was so delicious! I'm not sure what spices they used but it was so flavourful. All the meats were really well seasoned and cooked. There was not a single thing we tasted that wasn't good. The place is also really good for bigger groups as they have larger sharing plates as well. Will definitely be back to try more things!

The interior was beautiful-they kept true to their Syrian roots. We took Pita Bell Mix for 2-3 people but I swear that mean could easily feed 5. There were so many side dishes. The food came out fast, fresh, hot and in generous portions. I would like to add out of many similar restaurants, I liked the rice. It was cooked properly and well seasoned. I am only taking one star away because the customer service could have been better. Once our tea and food were served, the waiter did not come to ask how we were. The washroom is in the basement and was clean. There is also a prayer room for those who need it.

Cute little shop that sells Turkish snacks like lahmacun (meat pies) and borek. A bit pricier than…read moresimiliar products elsewhere, but tasty. I got 2 lamb and beef mixed lahmacun ($3.99 each) and a piece of cheese borek ($5.99). The lahmacun pastry was very thin and well dusted with cornmeal, and the meat filling tasted very rich, almost buttery. It was flavourful and I enjoyed it, but it was a tad too rich for me, as I prefer leaner meats. I liked that the pastry was crispy around the edges. The Borek was cold. They offered to heat it up for me, but I decided to take it home and heat it up myself. It was filled with cheese and although delicious, was really oily and greasy. Like excessively so, in my opinion. Service was courteous. They don't have any printed menus posted in the store or available as a takeout menu. You have to go online to see their menu. Free parking in the plaza parking lot.
