Looks like the previous pho place died and is now a Turkish restaurant…read more Parking is available on Hastings, as well as the side streets. There are 2 entrances to the restaurant. The main entrance has several steps. Much easier to enter from the "side" entrance which doesn't have steps. The inside is nice and large. Great view of the street. About half the seating area is raised by a few steps. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. They have typical dishes such as kebabs and donairs, as well as "traditional" meal section. I tried the roast lamb. It was pretty decent. Some may consider it a bit bland, but I would say it reminds me of home cooking. Served with salad, rice, and pita. My buddy tried the sac tava (meat stir fry) and said it was really delicious. Guess I'll try that next time. Pricing is reasonable, and quality is decent. I'd come back again. Recommended.

It's especially good if you have a group of people dining with you. That way you can share different dishes and enjoy lots of different flavors. The Mixed Plate is especially good for that. I have seen from their menu online that they also offer something called Padisha's Table which requires a minimum of 4 adults ordering it, and costs $36 per person. For this visit we had the following: Beyti Sarma Small Mixed Plate Cheese Lovers Pide Lamb Durum Wrap Veggie Guvech Turkish Coffee Turkish Tea The Small Mixed Plate came with a humungous slab of lavash bread! It was crazy how big this piece of bread was. We were a group of 5 people and this Small Mixed Plate by itself could have been our lunch. It was such a huge piece of bread. Sooo good though. They baked it in the oven until it got all nice and puffy, and it came to our table piping hot. I always enjoy this Mixed Plate starter. It comes with such a nice variety of dips. My absolute favorite dip though is the Baba Ghannush. I think next time I eat at this restaurant, I will add on a separate order of the Baba Ghannush so I enjoy more of it than what comes in the Mixed Plate starter! I loved my Veggie Guvech. The veggies were roasted and baked to perfection. I'm someone who likes my food soft, so I was happy to find that the veggies in this dish were nice and soft. The menu description says that this dish comes with Lavash. I didn't see any more Lavash bread come other than the huge slab that came with our Small Mixed Plate. Perhaps they did this on purpose though. The one huge piece of bread is equivalent to several smaller pieces that you might get in other restaurants. I certainly didn't need anything more than the huge piece of bread we'd already been served, so was very glad not to see anything else come with my Veggie Guvech. If you're a cheese love, you can't go wrong with the Cheese Lovers Pide. It's our daughter's "go to" dish when we order from this restaurant. She really loves her cheese! The people who ordered Lamb Durum Wrap said the lamb inside their wraps was very moist and tender. I do recall also hearing good things about lamb dishes from this restaurant in the past, when we ordered takeout from them. The Turkish Coffee and Tea come in some beautifully designed cups. I have travelled to Turkey in the past and enjoyed a hot apple tea in a Turkish Tea cup. The cup that was used here was very much like the cup I drank from in Turkey. I never had coffee when I was in Turkey, but judging from how unique the design of the cup here was, it's probably a very traditional design for a Turkish coffee cup since the Turkish Tea cup was just like the ones I saw in Turkey. Highly recommend this place! There aren't a lot of Turkish restaurants within Metro Vancouver. This place is an absolute gem!

You can order takeout or dine-in for Saray but you can only order takeout for Noon. I saw some people walk in and be seated only to want the Persian cuisine and be turned away because no sit down for the Iranian food is offered. (Different owners, different rules and arrangements I suppose) If you can get past that and are ok with takeout the food was amazing. Portion size for the price was very well received. We ordered the Joojeh and lamb chops and both were cooked and tasted EXCELLENT. I forgot to take a picture of the lamb chops but I assure you they were done perfectly. There's a lamb above the chops on the menu which is actually rack of lamb that doesn't specifically state that in the description so if your in for a rack don't worry they have that too.

We went to Saray Turkish Cuisine for Valentine's dinner and overall had a really great experience!…read more Appetizer: Cigar Börek - Crispy phyllo rolls stuffed with cheese and parsley, served with garlic sauce. Absolutely dynamite!!! Crispy, cheesy, and addictive. My dish: Alinazik Kebab - Grilled lamb over sauced grilled eggplant and yogurt, served with salad and bread. The lamb was insanely flavourful and delicious. I wasn't a fan of the mashed eggplant though (which surprised me because I usually love eggplant). It was okay, just not my thing this time. My husband's dish: Ground Beef Pide - Savoury flatbread topped with seasoned ground beef, fresh herbs, and sesame seeds. This was excellent -- super tasty and satisfying. My son's drink: Ayran - A traditional salty yogurt drink with mint. Not a hit with him Too salty and sour for his taste, but we appreciated the experience of trying something new. The servers kindly brought him a Coke instead and didn't charge us, which was really nice. My son's dinner: Adana Kebab (spicy) - Skewered spicy ground beef with rice, bulgur, salad, and bread. Fantastic!!! The beef was fresh and flavourful, and the rice and bulgur were soooo good. Service & atmosphere: It was pretty packed for Valentine's Day, so service was a bit hit and miss and slower than usual -- but totally understandable. The atmosphere made up for it, especially with the live Turkish music. It genuinely felt like being on vacation for the night, and I loved that feeling. Overall: Definitely worth the wait. Great food, great vibes, and a fun dining experience for the whole family.

Huge restaurant, looks like they host wedding/event from looking at the other reviews. On a Thursday night, only 3 tables were filled, so majority of the restaurant is empty. Service was friendly, tad bit slower and difficult to flag them down because of the large space but we weren't in a rush so that's okay. Free parking in a lot on the side. Quite a few spaces.

We had plans to go across the street for gelato afterwards though so...had to control myself and leave room in the tummy for gelato. I ordered the Double Cheese Gozleme which is said to be a "traditional Turkish flatbread, expertly hand-rolled and grilled to a perfect crisp." It came with some slices of cucumbers and grape tomatoes. I very much appreciated the inclusion of cucumber and grape tomatoes. They paired nicely with the flatbread and made it a more balanced meal. I enjoyed the Gozleme; however, I wasn't blown away by it. There was no "cheese pull" and I think part of me was hoping to see some grill marks on the bread since it was supposed to be "grilled to a perfect crisp" but there were no grill marks to be seen on it. Also ordered a Matcha Latte to go with my meal. This was OK. Not something I need to order again. They clearly specialize in food and not drinks. The Matcha Latte wasn't horrible but also, not one of the better Matcha Lattes I've ever had. I think it tasted a bit too milky, and perhaps I might have preferred it slightly sweeter. My daughter ordered a stuffed Bagel with Olives and Mozzarella. This was covered all over with sesame seeds. She didn't care for the sesame seeds and spent a lot of time scraping the sesame seeds off. No fault of the bakery's though. She knew what she was getting into when she ordered it cuz she could see it in the display case. It's not like it was an item she ordered from a menu, and that they failed to write in the description that there were sesame seeds all over it. This was just a matter of personal preference. So if you're into sesame seeds, you might not have any issues with this item. My mom ordered a Spinach and Feta muffin. I tried some of it. Kind of reminded me of a quiche. I've never really tasted a muffin like this before. Muffins are usually on the sweeter side whereas this one was savory. I quite liked it. My auntie ordered a Beef Burek and she very much enjoyed it. I had a feeling she would as Beef Burek is something I used to enjoy back in the days when I was a meat eater. Need to come back and have the cheesecake again whenever next we make it over here!

It's in an industrial park, and the place has a tiny pastry area in the bottom and an upper dining room. You order in the cafe area, and the food is sent up via number system and dumb waiter (SO cool). Service was one person and two cooks, so it's not immediate, but it's all made fresh and you can taste it. My Russian friend advised me on what to get, so we went with Khinkali and Khachapuri (sans meat). We also got what is on the menu as "jingle bread" and a beef kabob wrap. I had to get some kvass and pickles, too. I would get the dumplings, wrap, and kvass again in a second. Not that everything wasn't delicious, but my stomach is only so big and I need to try everything else on the menu. Khinkali is effectively a gigantic soup dumpling (HIGHLY recommend, but don't eat the stem!), and the meat in the beef kabob was similarly spiced. I fell in love with the lavash bread - it wasn't like anything I'd ever had. It was light, flaky, and I didn't feel overloaded with bread eating it like I do with most wraps. Kvass is slightly alcoholic, and it's technically a cereal based fermented drink, so it tastes a carby. It's a bit far for me to go with any regularity, but if I'm up around the airport, I will definitely keep it on my list of places to recommend and re-visit.
