For dessert, I got a cookie, and it might have been one of the best cookies I've ever had! The chocolate was perfectly melted, and the cookie was soft, warm, and absolutely delicious.

Our server was nice and attentive and offered food suggestions which was appreciated as this was our first time. The lamb meatballs were not my favorite. If you are not a texture person then you will probably be fine. The whipped feta was definitely a favorite. Not pictured are their lamb chops with asparagus and potatoes. The lamb chops and potatoes were cooked and seasoned well! The only thing we wish was better was their bathroom setup. They have one single-occupancy men's restroom and one single-occupancy women's restroom. They do not keep up with making sure the bathrooms have toilet paper nor keep it clean. We understand it was busy but hopefully they can improve this in the future. Otherwise, I recommend especially when there is a dj!

I did not mind too much though because the overall experience was still really fun. Definitely a place I would go back to!

The customer service was genuinely some of the best we've ever experienced it was warm, welcoming, and so hospitable. The bread was phenomenal and worth the visit all on its own! We ordered two İnegöl Köfte plates to split between two adults and one child, and honestly, one plate would have been plenty because the portions are so generous. The köfte was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the rice was absolutely delicious, and the fresh salad was the perfect complement. I also ordered a side of chicken just to try it, and it was equally flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. For drinks, we tried the Turkish pear soda and the orange soda. Both were delicious, but the pear was my favorite and is a must-try! If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Turkish food with generous portions and outstanding hospitality, this is the place. We will definitely be back!

I…read morewent with the Shish Tawook two grilled chicken skewers that come with your choice of sides. I picked the hummus and salad, both of which were super light and refreshing. The only miss for me was the raw white part of the green onions in the salad, they were a bit too chunky for my taste. The chicken, though? Perfectly grilled...crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. It came with a tzatziki sauce that was more on the liquidy side, which isn't my favorite texture, so I just used it as a dip for the chicken and hummus. Heads-up: the menu on their official site isn't updated, but if you Google "Tasty Mediterranean," it shows accurate prices and lets you order online. It came out to $17.99 plus tax , which is a little pricey for lunch, but the portions were solid and the staff were super friendly so no complaints there!

There was one other couple ahead of me, and only one person working, so I did wait a bit, which was fine since I needed to peruse the menu. There are a few tables inside to eat at, but I chose one of the three outside tables. After conferring with the couple in front of me, I decided to go with the Mezze platter - your choice of 5 items. I thought it was expensive at $24, but it seemed to be the best way to try a wide variety of things. The five items I got, ranked from best to least best: 2 falafels-really good, hummus-very good, cucumber salad-good, cous cous-fine, beet salad-meh. Make sure you ask for the hot sauce - it jazzed everything up. The platter was served with a couple of pieces of pita, but there really needed to be more to dip into all the salads. The only available drinks were to purchase bottled water or bottled soda. I only ate about a third, but I will say it did not travel well. Because three of the salads were placed in the same section, by the next day all three salads were a combined soggy mess, and the only part that was still edible was the hummus. I did enjoy the food, and the worker was incredibly friendly and hospitable, but it was a bit too pricey for one lunch for me.

This place has really good food and great service. I eat here approximately once per week. The place is very clean and they always have specials as well as an extensive menu. So far I have not had anything that was bad or not cooked right. The portions are huge, the prices are better than other place around. You should try it at least once, you will not be sorry. Keep up the great work Luis. read more

The restaurant is much bigger inside than expected, very spacious with plenty of seating. We were greeted right away and seated promptly & our waitress was really sweet and attentive. We ordered water and orange juice, and for food I ordered the momelet and my husband ordered the chilaquiles, we also ordered a side of grits and turkey sausage for our toddler. The omelet wasn't quite what I expected, usually the ingredients are cooked into the omelet, but this was just an egg omelet folded in half and all of the ingredients were set inside of the folded omelet. The omelet itself and the hash browns were both lacking in flavor. The grits were lacking in flavor as well. I'm giving it 4 stars because my husband really enjoyed the chilaquiles, he said his meal was really good - so maybe the omelet and breakfast items just aren't the best things to order here? I'd visit again to give the food another shot since my husband enjoyed his food. The service was really great, so no complaints there either.
