This street is also lined with multiple bakeries, bars, and places to eat so you won't have an issue here. The lamb shish hit the spot. The meat was well marinated, the pepper was spicy, the rice was fragrant, and the fries were crispy. Before all that, the server brought out some bread and ezme (classic sauce made of tomatoes, peppers, and herbs). Honestly this would've been a hovering 5 stars if the Turkish coffee came out hot, but it was cold so kind of ruined the perfect rating for me. Either way, stop by it won't disappoint!

I'd figure if this is where all the locals are eating then it has to be good!! As soon as you sit down, they put a plastic sheet in front of you. This is basically your plate. It's definitely different compared to all my previous eating experiences. There are chili, pickled vegetable, and basil in front of you. The locals just use their hand to pick it out and eat it. I didn't have any tummy problems afterwards and I have the weakest stomach in the world. Long story short: The kebap is awesome!! Ate here in March 2014.

We ordered a salad that had onions, peppers, walnuts, tomatoes and pomegranates.. I don't recall the name of the salad.

The restaurant is beautiful, especially the surrounding garden situated outside. The service was spectacular. Order the mixed platter. Really enjoyed the lamb beyti, perfectly seasoned and cooked.
