    Pita and hummus - excellent
    Ashley L.

    Came for dinner. Our family shared pita and hummus to start, which was the best I've ever had. The pita was fresh and soft, and the hummus was creamy. So much of the menu appealed to me, and I don't go out for Mediterranean often, so it was super difficult to choose a meal (family style would have been ideal but with Mediterranean we couldn't have more diverse preferences). So I ended up opting for two small/lighter dishes to have my own tasting: the mini eggplant roulades and soup (I tried to order the chicken meatball on the menu, but they only had butternut squash). The mini eggplant roulades were just DEVINE. So unique and so fresh. The soup was really good - since it wasn't on the menu I had no description when ordering - it ended up having some curry spice which isn't my favorite (specifically cumin) but still enjoyed it. Our server was really friendly, originally from Turkey and was receptive to my parents' excitement over our upcoming trip to Istanbul. We weren't rushed on a weekend evening. The restaurant was really nice and pleasant atmosphere. A little more upscale than I was expecting. I would absolutely love to go back here and try more of the menu. Although I know the struggle would be real to not repeat the eggplant roulades.

    Burrata salad
    Benito P.

    Cute place and amazing food. Friendly welcoming staff with great food recommendations. Had fresh burrata salad to start, with a lovely glass of Doremi Saperavi red wine. Moved towards their Spanish Octopus main course. Had to try their Oda Adjaruli Khachapuri but was too full to finish. Had to also try a dessert and had their Kazandibi pudding, which reminded me of my grandmother's tembleque. Definitely have to come visit again. Worth the visit.

    Baklava
    Janely A.

    This was my first time trying this place out. I've been craving baklava so I gave them a try and I will say it's pretty fire. So good! I'm glad I placed two orders b/c they do run kinda small. Overall great customer service & will be coming back.

    I was excited to try this restaurant but it left me wanting more. We split the meat platter which was mostly good except the steak was overcooked. The dessert we order had too much cheese that it taste more cheesy than savory. Looks pretty though

    Adjaruli khachapuri- SO GOOD
    Katrina M.

    YES YES YES!!! Oh my Oda was so amazing, the food was divine and the service was fantastic. The Adjaruli khachapuri (Georgian cheese and egg boat) was phenomenal. Even writing this review makes me want to go back and get another. The atom was so good as I love yogurt dips. This one had a kick of spice, but I wouldn't say it was too spicy at all. The meat in the sultans delight was fall apart to perfection. Lastly, the kunefe was just as I hoped it would be, and even the leftovers tasted good cold. The dim candlelight vibe made it classy and romantic. The servers were so kind and surprised me with a candle and treat on my birthday. I will be back soon and completely recommend it.

    I had such an incredibly lovely meal here. Alec couldn't have been kinder and more solicitous; the interior is hip but neighborhood-friendly, the food is familiar but adventurous-adjacent. Ok, the food. Absolutely delicious and fresh and healthy and novel and made with care etc etc. This is a gem: they want you to love it, everything is superlative from service to food to atmosphere.

    Spinach pkhali
    Jen S.

    We only got takeout here, but since I spent about 5-10 minutes waiting to pick it up while the host dealt with a reservation issue, I had a chance to look around a bit and soak up the ambience. Inside, the restaurant is a warm and inviting space with wooden decor and comfy-looking seats. As for the food, it was surprisingly good. Not that I had low expectations, but my order -- falafel and shepherd's salad -- was not especially adventurous. Still, Oda delivered a tasty combination of flavors, serving the crisp falafel in a thin layer of smooth hummus and chopped parsley, and tossing the vegetables in a light coating of olive oil and pomegranate reduction. I also tried the spinach pkhali, which others had recommended. I was not as impressed with this dish -- it's served cold, and the spinach part was a bit overpowering for my tastes -- but everyone else finished theirs, so I guess I was in the minority. As far as northside restaurants go, this probably ranks in my top 10. Worth a return visit for sure.

    Ordered the Adana. Was good . Only reason not 5 stars is because I am used to a little more flavor in the meat.

After coming back to the city almost a decade later, I knew I wanted to have a meal here. The best way to eat a meal here is to share all the dishes with friends. Sage Gimlet (5/5) - I started my meal with a refreshing sage gimlet that was a strong but well balanced cocktail. Roasted Bone Marrow (5/5) - I 100% would recommend getting this appetizer to start off the meal. The marrow was perfectly roasted and paired so well with the jam and salad. Roasted Beets (5/5) - If you love beets, get this salad. The flavors were so well balanced and I really liked the fried balls of goat cheese. Agnolotti (5/5) - This pasta was amazing!! The short rib and bone marrow with the fresh pasta still makes my mouth water. Scallops (5/5) - These scallops were perfectly cooked. The crispy prosciutto was a tad on the salty side. I honestly love the energy and the flavor bomb this restaurant packs. I can't wait until I'm back in the city and can dine here again.

This dish was truly unique. 5/5 Grilled Halloumi Meze - delicious cheese with olives and garlic bread. 4/5 Stuffed Eggplant - savory and creamy dish which actually might be even better served hot. 5/5 Calamari Meze - Excellent and tender. Not chewy at all which was nice. There were a ton of olives which I didn't think complimented the calamari. Overall, still 5/5. Mushroom Tava - mushrooms were cooked perfectly and were delicious. One of my favorite dishes of the night. 5/5 Stuffed Mushrooms - this dish fell flat on flavor and had more of the typical mushroom texture. 3/5 The Hunkar entrée initially was extremely salty.

After 20 mins and us asking food runners 3 times to get us a waiter we finally got assistance. We ordered the meze platter to start and very clearly stated, no nuts. The waiter said "we only use walnuts", we responded, no nuts. The food arrived and 2 of the 4 dishes had nuts on them, when I pointed it out to the waiter, he said "they're only on the top"! It was as if he was trying to be funny? Or sarcastic? Anyway, decent food, poor service.
