It's small and cozy and cute inside with pictures of Istanbul all around to celebrate the namesake of the place/food. We arrived about an hour before closing and there was only one other patron inside so we were seated and greeted quickly. It's simple here but they have all the usuals and my friend and I each got a chicken gyro made fresh. Nice portion and it was yummy. I want to come back and try the baklava and Turkish coffee! They also have kebabs and hummus that looked wonderful. If you love this type of food - come support this business that's really in a bad spot due to the ongoing road work. It's worth it!!!

The meat lacked flavor. The hummus was THE WORST hummus I have ever had - the olive oil drizzled on top had an awful taste and the hummus itself had no flavor. The best thing about this place is that the pita is hot. Save your money and go somewhere else. The staff seemed uninterested and were slow. The drink machine was off and needed to be turned on (they had already been open an hour and this had yet to be done)

The chef flatly refused to make a sausage pizza for the special, telling me I could only choose between pepperoni or Meat Lovers.

We were greeted by a helpful employee and the owner. They helped us decide what to order. We ordered the grilled chicken platter with a side of falafel. We made the mistake of not expressing that this meal was to-go. Another customer walked in after we ordered, placed his order (a wrap) and got his meal on a tray within 5 minutes. He ate in the restaurant and by the time he ate and left, our food still wasn't ready. It was only us and the customer that came in after us and ordered a wrap, so it wasn't busy. When we did get the food, it was tasty, hot, and tasted fresh. The food and the service was good, just express if you want to-go upfront and if you're eating in, prepare for the possibility of a wait. Update: We last went here a couple of months ago. We passed by on 6/22/25 and they are now permanently closed. Hate to see that! Hopefully they will be able to reopen at another location.

If you get a bowl its kinda Subway style so you just choose your toppings and you can watch it be made. The owner is really nice, she is always friendly when I come in. I got egg plant, cucumber, chicken , onions, sauces, and etc. At first I was disappointed at the amount of what she was scooping, but in the end it was a good amount and was filling. The bowl was tasty and I really enjoyed the eggplant. The garlic sauce and hummus was good as well. I'd definitely return. Check them out!!

The lamb shawarma was tender, but it lacked flavor. The toppings-to-meat ratio was acceptable. I'm most disappointed about the lack of flavor for the price...I have had shawarma all over the planet during my travels and understand the differences in style. I might consider trying them again because I really wanted to love it. After all, it's one of my favorite meals.
