    Appetizer Platter
    Myra G.

    In town for a conference from Hawaii. My last review was 6 years ago!! My gosh, however, I know I have been back about 4 years ago with no review. Whenever I get a chance to visit family SoCal I make sure to stop here for their Lahmachun. Today, I brought my friend and her daughter. My friends been to Turkey and she loved it here as did her daughter. We ordered the Chef's Platter, Spicy Lahmachun, Falafel plate, and for dessert we had their Kunefe. Chef's Platter is enough for three women with Spicy Lahmachun, however, the waitstaff said it wouldn't be enough. So we ordered the Falafel plate. No worries because we were able to split the left overs for each of us. The food was amazing! All of it!! My friend has been to Turkey and she said the food here was delicious. Surprisingly, she never had Kunefe. So of course we had to order one to share. We were so full we knew we couldn't eat it all but we're here let's do it. We are the whole thing and it was better since we had tea with it! LOL So much for being full. The staff are very friendly and the upgrades they made to the restaurant is stunning. Had made designs that took two years. Absolutely stunning. My friend said, "You know this place is good & authentic it's all locals not tourist eating here." I'm so glad I found this place on Yelp 6 years ago. Thanks for another great experience and glad this restaurant is still going strong. I enjoy returning to visit whenever I'm in town. I make it a point stop for a bite.

    My friend's and I first time trying Turkish food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and everything came out great. The interior was really nice and aesthetic as well. Will be eating here again!

    Turkish Breakfast
    MeikaiLani K.

    After I recently visit to Istanbul, we were craving a Turkish Breakfast. I did a Google search and Koftegi popped up. I'm glad we went. The service was excellent and the guy there explained the different things on the menu. We ordered the Turkish breakfast, with the Turkish and egg scramble. We also ordered the Lahmajun, Simit & Baklava. All I know is the food was amazing. I was stuffed, but I felt i ate healthy food. Nice combination of sweet and savory. I liked the chocolate and sesame dip and all the cheeses. The restaurant made me feel like I was still in Sultanahmed, with is Turkish lamps, teas and paintings. This trip was well worth it. We will come again for lunch or dinner for the Pide and Doner.

    First time here - food was delicious, portions were big and definitely worth the price. Great customer service too! Overall, my party of 5 had a great time.

    The decor
    Ron W.

    Koftegi, "maker of meat patties" is a hidden jewel tucked away in a few miles of mini malls with dozens of restos clinging to life in Little Arabia. Most of those places have their cadre of regulars despite sticky carpet and a perpetual layer of Hookah smoke floating inside at eye level. Koftegi ain't that. It's spotless and inviting. Wander in and a pleasant fellow takes one last bite of his Falafel and stands to greet you. He'll walk you to any table you like in both dining rooms. A Turkish/Arabic loop gnawed at my Western musical sensibilities until I appreciated it's calming effect. The din of Turkish spoken here will eclipse the music and the Flatscreen showing reruns of Mucize Lezzetler anyway. As you sit down and make your nest, the Host hands you a 28 page Menu that resembles a High School Year Book. There are glossy photos of everything on offer. That'll get you salivating like Pavlov's Puppies in seconds. The Meat is all Halal, so open your Paypal. The food is healthy but it doens't hurt to be wealthy as the pricing is up-market. $15.99 for a small bowl of Tabbouleh Salad. So, don't be bashful and bring a bag that's cash full. Like good Olive Oil you get as much quality as your budget can handle. On the plus side, the food is fresh, well prepared, made to order so nothing gets parched and dried out under a heat lamp. The portions are heroic and the food delicious. No matter you'll take half of it home any way to serve as a platform for your morning eggs if you can find them and still afford them. The Menu features Turkey's greatest hits. While Turkish cuisine can be complex and elegant, this is comfort food doing it's job, making you full, happy and happy you came here. There are only a couple of authentic Turkish spots in SoCal so this is definitely worth a try. The Staff: Other than the Host, there is only one waiter. The work at the tire shop must have been slow and he landed here. Never mind, you came here to eat, and good food takes time to get from the kitchen to your plate. Here it is, now yemek! The Decor: Look Mom they shrunk the Grand Bazaar. Who goes here? Pats and Ex-Pats and the odd culinary adventurer, me. The Food: You already have the idea. The food is good here. It is. Help yourself to a huge helping of Hummus. Creamy and tangy with a wading pool of excellent Olive Oil and a sprinkle of Sumac. Juggle a thin Pita the size of a Hummer Hubcap and go to town with this. A lovely Green Salad with a light Lemony Dressing rides shotgun for the Garlic Chicken Garlic Chicken were Thighs marinated in Garlic, Yogurt and the usual suspects, Sumac and Za'Atar. The mound of Chicken chunks were grilled just right. Still moist and tasty as your secret Chicken fantasy all nestled in a warm Pita to soak up the juices. This dish comes with a mound of Rice, a Roasted Tomato, a Jalapeno should you need a treat of heat and a cup of pure lip puckering Garlic Paste to slather over everything you can reach, (except your date). The Beef Shish Kabob required a construction permit. Tender Rib Eye pieces stacked up like Legos. Cooked perfectly, oozing Beefy juices and still crispy at the edges. There are lot's of choices on the Menu as long it's Beef or Chicken. Vegans need not apply. Dinner will be ample and hardy, perfect for a cold night in So Cal. You know, when it dips to 68 degrees. It's wonderful even if it's 80 degrees in the dead of Winter. Koftegi will serve you well as it's truly guzel.

    One of The Best Turkish & Syrian Food in California. Authentic Mediterranian Food. Service is So Great!

    Yasmine A.

    I love this place! Their cheese pastries are everything, and I'm obsessed with their breakfast platters, simit, za'atar... basically everything on the menu!!! The service has always been great, super friendly and attentive. Sure, it can take a little longer sometimes, but that's only because everything's fresh and baked right from the oven, which I actually LOVE. so good!

    Tres leches
    Jennifer H.

    Came here after seeing it on Infatuation's list of Best in Anaheim -- note to self: don't trust Infatuation for OC restaurants. Food was mediocre...we ordered the Chefs platter $50, doner was out of stock, so they gave us more beef that was overcooked, best thing was chicken that was juicy and paired with a great garlic sauce. Hummus, bread, salad were standard, bland. Mini lahmacuns were sour, not sure if that was on purpose, either way did not taste good. Beef flatbread had overdone beef pieces, cheesy but not much flavor to it. Tres leches was fine, nothing amazing. Bad service...slow and unfriendly, we had to ask for water multiple times. When we asked for recommendations, he just shrugged at us. After we decided what we wanted, we found out some items we're about to order were out of stock for the night. Minus one star for service. Parking free in large lot in front.

    Hummus bel lahma
    Remon A.

    This place serve absolutely the most delicious Mediterranean food. They make their own pita bread to die for. Their baklava is a dream come true. I have tasted baklava from all over the countries, his home made baklava is a PAR! His baba ghanoush is something else!!! I defiantly recommend it. I also love their friendly staff.

    Cheese and suju' Pizza
    Mira R.

    Excellent customer service. Sari and Mohammed were amazing hosts.. always checking if we need anything. They served us tres leche cake on the house and it was super yummy. Food was good, kibbe, fatté and cheese pizza with sujuk, sfiha and lahmajun were so yummy. Syrian, Arabic, Mediterranean ambiance. I would highly recommend this place. Family friendly.

    Freshly made pita bread
    Maryam A.

    So tasty and full of flavor! We come here all the time and the food is amazing! It's one of my favorite brunch/ lunch spots. My favorite things to order are the foul plate also known as fava beans and baba ganoush . Also love the cheese boats. Service is excellent! Oh and I can't forget about the tea.

    Zaatar with vegetables and labna
    Amoon A.

    Where can I start if I can give them ten stars they deserve it, service is beyond great, love the decoration inside takes you to a historical like museum gorgeous, you can take really nice picture's inside, wasem came to greet us and went over the menu with us and gave us some recommendations which I liked, when the food started coming and everything looked and tasted so so so good yummy while we are eating the Chef owner her self came out and made sure we are enjoying her delicious food. Of course we had to order desert the knafah that came out hot and fresh and the pistachio cake wow I'm drooling now lol I will go back soon. I highly recommend Koftagi

    Sarma Beyti and salad
    Missy T.

    Atmosphere: Transported! Felt like a cozy corner of Turkey. The decor and vibe were truly charming -- warm lighting, traditional touches, and Turkish music in the background set the scene beautifully. Food: Sarma Beyti - Juicy and flavorful, but price tag at $35 didn't quite match the portion or experience. Salad - Sadly underwhelming. Fresh, but no real punch of flavor. Kibbeh - Mild and a bit flat. If you're used to the bold, spiced flavors of Syrian/Lebanese kibbeh, this might feel a little muted. Service: Fast and friendly. Food came out quickly, and the staff was welcoming without being overbearing. Final Thoughts: Come for the atmosphere and a taste of Turkey. Might skip the kibbeh and salad next time, and hope for a more balanced price-to-flavor ratio.

    Definitely order the boat - we chose minced meat! Other favorites were the foul (fava beans) and the kefte and beef kebab.

We had the chicken and steak shawarma plates, the tabbouleh, the steak shawarma wrap. All were terrific, my personal preference was the chicken. Truly a good spot with tasty food and generous portions! We had one little mixup with one of our orders and it was fixed easily without question. They made it right completely. That speaks volumes about their customer service. Great spot, highly recommend!

    Overall it wasn't bad here, I just think the fries were a miss. The portions are huge though,…read moredefinitely had enough for multiple meals. It wasn't quite as good as I expected from the reviews, but it's decent for the amount of food you get and that rice! Premium Mixed Grill Plate -- 3/5 I liked the chicken the best out of the three. The beef kebab just tasted like regular ground beef to me and the lamb was overdone, which was a bummer. But the rice? Amazing. It was so fluffy and flowery. I would come back just for that rice. Shawarma Loaded Fries -- 2/5 I probably should have skipped these and just gotten another plate. It was kind of a sticky mess and the combo just didn't really work. You get a great portion of beef shawarma, but the raw onion, shredded cheese, and pickle slices felt like a really unusual combination. I usually love pickles in my Mediterranean food, but this just wasn't it for me.
