Extremely delicious food! Their cig kofte may be the best I have ever eaten in my life and their manti is definitely top 5 for me. Lahmacun and iskender are also amazing! Service was fast and the portion sizes are really big. The ambiance is that of a cute little cafe. read more

We ordered via Uber Eats to take advantage of the BOGO offer, and opted to pick it up to save on extra fees associated with delivery. The price for two Doner wraps came out to about $20, which was a pretty good deal! The wraps were supposed to come with fries, but they only gave us one portion of fries. Is that what happens when you choose a BOGO deal? Pretty disappointing. The wrap itself was good, but dry as it didn't have any sauce, and it wasn't tightly wrapped, and felt like they skimped on the meat due to it being part of a special offer. If we had known, we would have just paid the regular price for the wraps, as skimping on portions when you're offering a deal seems dubious. read more

Pide (so good) I think I got 3 different ones. Laumacun (so good) where else sells these? Comfy seat. I liked the seat cushions on metal seats. Cute decor - doesn't seem to make sense to me but all good and nice. read more

In a sea of Persian places the Nuka Cafe stands out for good Turkish food. We arrived a bit before the lunch rush and parking was fairly easy but during busy hours may it may be a challenge. The staff was friendly and on point. I was bummed that Iskander was not available that day The Food: Aryan: This one was tasty and had the right amount of salt. Hummus: It was nicely pureed and had the perfect seasoning. The slightly bitter olive oil provided a perfect contrast to the richness. Chicken plate: The sides were fresh and tasty. The chicken was well cooked and perfectly seasoned. Lamb Plate: The sides were identical, and the lamb while seasoned well was a bit overcooked and tough enough to cost a star. Great little Turkish place that would have gotten 5 stars but for the lamb read more

Friendly service and a wonderful suggestion led to a very satisfying experience. I asked for something authentically Turkish and the Hunkar Begendi delivered. All the flavors of the tender steak, perfectly cooked vegetables, and eggplant purée added up to a delicious meal. Also the free appetizer of baba ganoush was so tasty, it should cost money. Finished off with a Turkish coffee for a 10/10 experience. Would recommend and will return. read more

Dined in here over the weekend and we were pleasantly surprised. We got their Beyti sarma which came with beef and lamb, their mix kebab plate and their cheese pide. The food took a little bit to come out but when it did it was all worth it. Everything tasted great and fresh - you can really tell they use quality ingredients. Parking was easy for us right in front of the restaurant. read more

Lamb Adana with rice and the Mixed Chicken Kebap were both very good and packed with rich, well-developed flavor. The lamb Adana had great seasoning and texture, and the mixed chicken kebap was juicy and satisfying, with each component complementing the rice and sides nicely. The staff were great too, attentive, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the meal even more enjoyable. read more

Wanted to love this place as our favorite Turkish spot in LA closed. We drove about an hour for the Ali Nazik, and although I enjoyed it, it's a far cry from the complex dish that I grew accustomed to. This much simpler version is thin strips of lamb on babagamoush and not the smokey eggplant/tomato puree with chunks of bbq grilled lamb. Service was gracious but its order at the counter. Overall, not sure the food and service is justified for the very high prices for the dishes. read more

I tried to call to check if they were for sure open before making a trip down but their phone # isn't a working number. Yelp said they were open until 9pm. I arrived on Sunday 12/21 a little before 5pm, but the venue is closed. The number they have posted on their door is (424) 443-1915 -- different than the Yelp number. Maybe next time. read more

Great food, service even better with good value. My wife and I drove from OC to try the food and we were impressed.

Nice surprise on Westwood blvd. We ordered chicken kebab, babaganush and manti. The babaganush was smoky and smooth. So good. The chicken kebab was succulent and tender. It came with pilav,(rice and garbanzo beans) and a nice salad I wouldn't order the manti again because it was tiny knots of pasta with meat feeling. I know they were freshly made- just too much pasta to filling for my taste. We had baklava for dessert. Crisp and tasty. They did not have the goat milk ice cream or knafe that day There's so much more to try we will 100% be back read more

Wow good food good customer service the restaurant is in excellent condition and its very clean plenty parking outside read more

Came here with my partner's family. Street parking wasn't too difficult to find. We got the ali nazik and manti ravioli. I might have a slight preference for the ali nazik, but both were incredible. Service was fairly quick and so kind. The place isn't super big, which gave it a nicer community feel. Will definitely be back to try some of the desserts! read more

I remember watching a travel cooking show awhile back and they featured Turkish pizza. I've always wanted to try it and decided to give this place a try! I ordered the dolma stuffed grape leaves, manti dumplings, and lahmacun Turkish pizza. The grape leaves were lemony and a burst of freshness. The manti were cute and tiny, smothered in yogurt sauce and an herby oil. The lahmacun actually came in a pizza box, I added the fresh sides - parsley, onion, and tomato- to the pizza, squeezed some lemon juice and rolled it up like a wrap. Delicious! I ordered via one of the delivery apps. My order was packaged perfectly and delivered quickly. The portion of manti is huge, I had a good amount of leftovers so it's a good price for the amount you get. I will definitely be ordering from this place again! I want to try the other items on the menu. read more

Knafeh is one of my favorite desserts and I always return to the Middle East just for this. Most of the knafehs here are a miss so it was a breath of fresh air when I found this cafe and gave us a decently-sizes plate without breaking my wallet. It's not as greasy as I usually prefer but the cheese pull is still great. Still a delicious dessert otherwise. The service took a little longer but the knafeh came out sizzling hot. So, come in with a little patience. I dined there with a friend around 7PM and it was busy. It was a very social and rowdy crowd with limited seating. read more

We recently came by here because I was looking for Turkish ravioli after having visited Turkey in April 2024. We finally found at this place, it is one of the very few restaurants in LA and OC that actually offer Turkish ravioli (manti) on their menu. Found metered parking a couple steps away from the restaurant, got seated inside and proceeded to order the lamb kebab plate + turkish ravioli dish. Both were fabulous, and flavorful, so we got our craving satisfied! They only have 1 person behind the cashier counter, and he also serves as the wait staff, so the service was a bit slow. You self-serve your own water. read more

This place popped up on my yelp feed this morning and we found ourselves at target this afternoon and so it goes. This was our first time trying Turkish food and I didn't even know what I ordered. I was just pointing at pictures on my phone and asked for a recommendation. The service was friendly and helpful. We felt very welcomed with our six month old baby. The gentleman even filled a cup of hot water to the correct level to heat our babies milk. We got three dishes and they were all incredibly flavorful with fantastic portion size. The ambiance is cool with Turkish music playing in the background and a flower wall for my daughters viewing pleasure. We will definitely be back when we are on that side of town. read more

Great and authentic Turkish food. Lahmacun and Iskender was super delicious as good as any that you might have in Turkey.

Was excited trying Turkish restaurant food for the first time but Nuka service could be better. I was not greeted and the employee tersely answered my questions. He didn't seem to want to be there. He also didn't greet those who entered after me. Not all prices on the menu board are current. For instance the lentil soup is actually 50 cents cheaper. One star deducted because pictures or description of food would really be helpful. Good thing I read other Yelp reviews and did my research on unfamiliar food! I liked the simple unassuming interior, black and white with a splash of burgundy seat cushions. The easy listening style music in I'm guessing Turkish was soothing. **beef kafte platter with salad, rice and pita. My made-to-order Kafte looks like koobideh except it was denser, drier and salty. The brown rice with peas was seasoned well and I LOVED the salad - a large portion of lettuce, tomatoes, & cucumbers with a fresh tangy dressing like Italian but lighter. **Lentil soup - I would come back just for the lentil soup! It was blended, so comforting and sublimely seasoned. **Yogurt and bomb garlic paste available by request. Small but varied menu. I would also wanna try the Pide, a flatbread pizza. Sandwiches, sides, soup, coffee and dessert also available. Prices are good. Quality ingredients. A few tables outside but Westwood Ave traffic is often noisy. Parking - street meters, or I may have parked in the Starbucks without qualms because it's a big lot. The next time I get lentil soup I'll give an another entree a try. read more

That manti which can easily be called as turkish ravioli unbelievable biiiiig portion! Really biig!

Chicken insomnia is a great sandwich. It tastes like a breaded chicken breast with buffalo sauce, cole slaw, and sweet pickled cabbage w cheese on a brioche bun. Im sure the recipe is better than that. But that is what it tastes like. read more

We went there for dinner because a different Turkish restaurant was surprisingly closed. I am so glad that we did because this was fantastic. We are a Turkish American family so we know what the food should taste like and this was 100% exactly what we would eat in Türkiye. My son had Ali Nazik which we never see anywhere in the United States. He was so excited because it's his favorite dish when we're in Türkiye. Everything about this place including the price was excellent. We will definitely be going back. read more

We have eaten here twice and we love it! We are new to Turkish cuisine and our first experience at Nuka was delicious. We immediately wanted to return. We enjoyed the cheese and egg pide, Ali Nazik, and the falafel was the best falafel since...L'As du Fallafel in Paris?! We are glad to have Nuka Cafe in our neck of the woods. read more
