    We had reservations here on a busy Saturday evening. Our table was ready when we arrived and it was a cozy one towards the back. It was a packed house and my only complaint of the night was the noise, but it would not deter me from returning. We ordered some cocktails off the menu and both of us were pleased with our selection. My boyfriend's lamb shank was absolutely perfect! So exquisitely tender and seasoned to complement the flavor of the lamb... this is the sort of dish I would return for over and over. I believe it is only on the menu fridays and Saturdays. My lamb platter was also delicious and our lamb dumplings with dipping sauce were fantastic. The woman next to us said the Branzino was excellent and I saw many people ordering and enjoying it. We took home some Baklava to enjoy and when you go here do not miss out on this perfect treat even if you're stuffed... it's just as perfect leftover. This is a great spot for any occasion and I can't wait to eat here again.

    Nicely decorated, authentic Turkish restaurant. We got seated quickly for an early dinner, but they do ask for reservations, so I suggest making one just in case on OpenTable. The waiter seemed stand-off ish and a bit rude to be honest. He was impatient and didn't seem to like it when I asked the prices for the specials. It took a long time for him to actually ask us what we wanted to take our order, which was a bit annoying. The table bread was pillowy on the inside and very crunchy on the outside. The sauce they gave us also paired very well with the bread. I got the Adana kabob, which was nicely plated. I thought the portion was quite small at first, but it was a perfect size in the end. The ground lamb was filled with spices, and the lamb was marinated and cooked nicely. The rice was a miss though, it barely had any sort of flavor. For dessert, we tried the baklava which was pretty good. Overall, pretty good experience for my first time trying Turkish food!

    An interesting Turkish restaurant in Chapel Hill. Conveniently located across the street from public parking this unassuming restaurant adorned in wood and darker tones serves unique fare. With rugs hanging from the walls this restaurant is a departure from many other local restaurants. We came on a Saturday night for dinner with reservations. The restaurant was packed and the waiters stretched thin. Took about 10 minutes to get a menu (one wasn't on the table when we where seated, just a wine menu). Once we got the menu it took another 10 minutes to get our drinks and order placed. The drinks where interesting and delicious. Once the food arrived it was tasty and hearty. Temperature was on point and we left stuffed. If you are in the mood for Turkish food this is the place to go. But I am not sure I would return again otherwise.

    Came here with my friend on a rainy week day. I love the food here! Love Mediterranean food! The dishes were super delicious. Very rich, creamy, and tasty. I loved all the dishes I got here! Lamb shank was not a disappointment at all. But low key lamb shank never disappoints me at any med restaurants. Hummus was fresh and delicious. Service was great. My waiter stopped by multiple times to fill our drinks and asked for feedbacks. Restaurant was well decorated and with ample space. Loved the experience. Can't wait to come back!

    Never had Turkish food before, but now I'm a fan. Love it! Came to Chapel Hill for a meeting and dined here with colleagues. Enjoyed a couple bottles of wine and most of their shareable appetizers and main course. Loved the braised lamb shank and whole baked fish. Also loved all the fresh and colorful ingredients. Wonderful place to wine and dine in small or large groups. Would definitely recommend a for all comers! Turkish food is delicious!

    Excellent Mediterranean Turkish food & equally excellent service! The surroundings are lovely as well. The food was so good we didn't get a chance to take pics because we inhaled everything! The meat manti appetizer was delicious (we got a large order), typically order a choban salad Which was fresh & crisp, the slow cooked lamb shank was melt in your mouth flavorful,the salmon shis, & Adana Shis all perfectly cooked & deliciously seasoned. Highly recommend.

    The food was delicious! They give you complimentary bread and a sauce in the beginning. The meal itself was a relatively hearty meal that filled me up but wasn't too heavy. I think it's also reasonably priced. Definitely seems authentic and I would come back to try something different. Plus the overall setting is really cute. The only thing that bothered me about this place was the service. At first, my friend and I weren't sure what to get so we told the waiter we needed another minute. He made a face at us and grunted and then didn't come back and left us waiting for a long time to order. We were never checked on the whole meal. At the end, when we were paying, we asked if we could split the check (me and my friend) and the waiter seemed annoyed that I asked. It just feels like the people working there are overall really nonchalant/passive aggressive and we felt really uncomfortable the whole time. I'm still ranking it 4/5 because the food was good and people should try it. Just be wary of how the waiters can act.

    Ambiance and service were terrific! Will absolutely go back in the future! There are a few tables that are very secluded and would be ideal for a date night! The window tables would be ideal for a girls night out or group! They had a prefix menu and added gratuity to the bill for added convenience. The food was full of flavor, robust, and diverse enough to satisfy our entire family. The server we got was one of the most memorable experiences ever and would go back time and time again just to have amazing conversation with him. We chose to eat the meal family style and ordered basically one of everything on the menu. Attaching a copy of the prefix menu with pictures of all three appetizers and all the entrees except the salmon.

    Neighborhood gem..food very good, fresh, amazing pita all presented in an easy to eat fashion with…read morelovely sauces!

    I love Mediterranean food so when I saw this place, we had to go inside and try it. I didn't…read morerealize it closed at 2:30pm until we spoke to the owner. It is a family owned restaurant, which I love. She politely said we could still order and eat inside. It was 2:00pm. We were the only ones inside the restaurant. It is decorated with items from Egypt. Paintings of pharaohs and pyramids. A few people came in to grab their to go orders. She explained that since the pandemic, they do more take out than dine in. We tried the hummus and pita, which was delicious. She mentioned their falafel was one of their best items, so I had to try it. It came with four pieces. They were piping hot and so good. I dipped them in the hummus. I also ordered the chicken kabab (marinated chicken with peppers, onions, and tomatoes over their homemade rice. I asked for no tomatoes and the beef shawarma plate with a Greek salad and tahini sauce. The food was good. I loved the Greek salad with big chunks of tomatoes. The chicken kabab (which she did explain did not come in a skewer) was a bit dry. I dipped it in the hummus. It lacked a bit of presentation. Something that took me by surprise was that we were given our food on paper plates, with paper cups and plastic forks, even though we were eating inside the restaurant. Not sure if it's the same for all lunch and/or dinner. The owner is very nice and I truly appreciated her letting us eat there even though it was close to closing hour. I took the rest of the hummus and pita to go so they could close at 2:30pm. Overall, great experience and good food.

    It's an international store but they need to evaluate their prices on general products.read more

    Anyone been around to remember the days you had to cart yourself out to Raleigh to buy Arab /…read moreMiddle Eastern groceries? Long gone are those days thanks to this place! Excellent selection of Arab / Middle Eastern / Mediterranean / Asian goods. They have a great variety of both the standard staples, such as chick peas, bread, seasonings, yogurts, cheeses, frozen goods, and other raw or prepared ingredients, but also have more nuanced items you might not have seen in a long time had you grown up elsewhere and moved to the US. I don't have to go and order things online anymore. Additionally they have a butcher that has fresh meats that are also halal if you're Muslim. I haven't ever had their meats, and am not Muslim, but I know where to go if I need lamb or goat on special occasions. They don't really have produce beyond some shelf stable items, but that excluded, it's pretty much an oasis. Finally, the store is kept clean, well stocked, and organized. I've never been in there with items I need missing. They recently did a facelift on the front of the store and it looks awesome, very modern and inviting. The owners and their sons are super friendly, extremely kind, even offering to special order things I ask about, and are always in a helpful / cheerful mood! Would HIGHLY recommend stopping in to anyone looking for things they need, or just wanting to see what a Middle Eastern store looks like!
