My wife and I recently stopped at the Turkish Delight for dinner. This little restaurant is on Northern Lights near Lake Otis. The food and service at this recently opened, lunch or dinner spot was excellent. The menu was short, but it did offer variety. We highly recommend this small, friendly, family-run restaurant. Enjoy ! read more

Another of Anchorage's hidden gems. Limited but well executed menu. Nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended. read more

Turkish drought is our go-to for date nights! The food is excellent and we are always satisfied with the service. The shakshuka is absolutely incredible-just order it, it does not disappoint! read more

Found the menu had few choices, food was mediocre, and to top it all off they overcharged my card by $10. Don't know, maybe a sketchy waiter adding an extra tip, maybe an honest mistake... Regardless of the overcharge, both the person I was with and I thought it was a pricey lunch that wasn't that good for the money and are not planning on returning. read more

We tried sever different appetizers and an entrée as well as a few different drinks and a dessert. It was all really good and we especially like the spanakopita. Our waiter and the staff was very nice and friendly. All in all it was a very good experience. read more

Just had the Adana shish kebab and it was freaking amazing. Wife had the Doner entree and it was awesome. The pita bread rocks. The setting is nice. Service was good. Beer selection was lacking but found a wine I liked. Looking forward to going back to try some other dishes and maybe for a coffee some late morning. read more

I was in Anchorage for the Alaska surveying and mapping conference which started on Feb. 12, 2018. Five of us wanted to go out for a nice dinner. Of course my to go app for finding a place is the yelp app. Nothing was available as it was valentine Day and all places were booked. Finally I found a reservation at the Turkish delight. My colleagues were little hesitant at first as it takes them out of their comfort zone by trying a new ethnic food. Wow! It was amazing food. Three of us ordered the lamp chop based on the waiter recommendation and the other two ordered the adina kabobs. The lamb chop was out of this word and you must try if you are into lamb. We also ordered appetizers, hummus, falafel, dolmas, shekshoka (egg plants dish). The latter was delicious so as the hummus. The falafel was not as authentic as middle eastern one as it was greasy. I will definitely recommend this place and I will go back again. Loved it. read more

I have never dropped a review into Yelp but couldn't help myself tonight. Turkish Delight is a hidden gem in Anchorage. Good Mediterranean food can be hard to find and tonight, we found it. The lamb chops are absolutely Devine and the shakashuka is equally good. And, the gentleman who servers us was one of the best servers we have encountered here. A+++++++ read more

Turkish delight.... you DO NOT disappoint!! Talk about great service, great food, and great health benefits! Finally nice to find a place around ANC that does Turkish RIGHT!! I usually call in and grab it to go. When I do call in, it's hot and ready when I get there, packaged to go home and I'm in and out in 5mins tops! I must say it's a bit pricey but I gladly pay it for the quality of this food! Please keep doing whatever you guys are doing! Happy to have you in the Anchorage family!! read more

Easily the best Turkish food in town. Took the lady here and was greeted by a friendly family who runs it. The babaganosh was smooth and creamy with a great cumin flavor. The waitress swapped my rice for pita in the meatball entry with no hesitation. Great rich cuts of meat, tasty tzatziki and colorful veggies. The gyro style sandwich was STUFFED. They did not skimp. Will eat here again. read more

I heard great things about this restaurant and it totally lives up to it's reviews. Our server was excellent and extremely knowledgeable in the menu. It is small but if you go a little early you can beat the crowd. By the time we left it was pretty full which speaks to their excellent menu and service. Most importantly, all I can say is Yum!! read more

Very good food straight of the rack of lamb for my Gyro. Very nice family run restaurant, it's nothing fancy and they have a smaller menu, but everything is delicious. read more

The food was good. However, management needs to re-think the standards they set for employees. Upon entering the restaurant, I was "greeted" by woman who right-off-the-bat stated that the kitchen closes in ten minutes (even though the restaurant was open for another thirty minutes). A simple hello would have been better. During our dining experience, we had a neighboring table with two guests who were intolerably loud and inconsiderate to those dining around them. To paint you a picture, one of the guests had her slippers off and was "seducing" the other guest with her filthy foot on top of the other guests chair rubbing against his body. Upon leaving leaving the restaurant, they were still shouting as if others had any interest in their conversation. Therefore, I told the woman, with restaurant employees overhearing me, that she should be more considerate of those around her. Of course she was easily offended despite my appropriate tone and honest remark. But much to my surprise, the woman who initially "greeted" us took their side and told us the restaurant is now closed and to leave (even though we were walking out anyways lol). Considering that we decided to eat here as opposed to a random fast food chain or a bar where you expect to run into trash, our overall dining experience was poor. Would not consider dining here again. read more

We got to the restaurant and entered . There is a big sign stating to wait to be seated. It is e poling to claim that we seated our self.We did wait until the OWNER SON CAME AND TOOK US TO OUR TABLE AND GAVE US OUR MENU. WE DID CHANGE OUR TABLE SINCE THE ONE WE WHERE SEATED AT WAS TO SMALL FOR US. IT IS APSULUTTLY A LIE OF YOUR STAFF TO POST LIES ON REVIEW. I had a new friend with me and other customers who witnessed all this. Im not here to argue, im simply stating my experience. I will ask my friend to write a review about his experience as well, so your restaurant can attack him to.When this place open first 2 yrs ago it was really your neighborhood new restaurant to go to. By God the service has gone down. We got seated fairly fast, then our server came and brought us our menus. This was lunchtime after 12pm I want you to know. The rush was gone already. Then we sat there and and sat there and sat there and watched our waiter serve everyone else coming thru the door but us. I have been here many times in the past and send many customers to this restaurant, because I was born in Turkey and cook Turkish food myself at my house. I took a lot of new customers to this restaurant before, like I did today. I have noticed that the owner was not very friendly also his daughter and son who also work there was not very welcoming to us. I left my table after 15 min of no approach from anyone to leave the restaurant. Our waitresses approached us as we was almost was out the door and asked us if there was anything wrong. When I tried to explain to her that we where not treated with the same courtesy that she was showing to new customers who came after us, she got upset and got loud. So we defiantly left after that. This is very sad to see that they have lost 2 customers today and every one I referred to this restaurant. It is sad to see that new restaurant will tent to you with high important first when they open, but after the first yr of business will pick there customers who they want to serve first. I'm sad by this experience and would not recommend this place to anyone. I have worked in many restaurants in Europe and America this was my worst experience. To come on a review site and lie is not right. I understand that Selda the mother of the owners Murrat is not in the Restaurant and that explains why the owner was so unfriendly, we use to go because of her smiling face and not the unfriendly owner MURRAT. read more

The food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is peaceful. The flavors were delightful, and I plan to make this a regular date night jaunt. Love it! read more

A couple of weeks ago a coworker had stated that Turkish Delight's is one of his favorite restaurants in Anchorage. We decided to give it a shot and were beyond impressed. The food was clean, light, extremely flavorful and filling. I can not recommend this place enough! read more

Just enjoyed my first meal at Turkish Delight, and it was just that! A Saturday night, and the place was packed. The food and service was great, with live jazz adding a nice touch. Look forward to my next visit. read more

Donner kabob!! I love this place I went in not expecting much but the flavor of the meat is amazing!! If you order one thing off the menu two words DONNER KABOB!! read more

I been in support of this family own restaurant since they open due to I served over 7 years in different locations in Turkey. Also I know the culture and familiar with the food very well. I can honestly say ur not going to find a more Ethnic Turkish restaurant in Northern Region of USA. Their service is top class and the food is nothing to compare too in this state of Alaska. read more

Very delicious food. I was glad to find so many vegetarian options here. We ordered lentil soup, dolmas, babaganoush, falafel, turkish tea and Ayran. I loved each of those. I will definitely visit this place, if I come back to Anchorage. :) read more

Love this place!!! The lamb is delicious any way they serve it. We usually order the Donner Kebab sandwich. That's our favorite. Try the apple hot tea as well! read more

Absolutely amazing!!! The shepherd pie stew was beautiful!!! The Turkish coffee and delight are out of this world! Adorable family run restaurant! Can't wait to go again! read more

Fascinating menu - not a zillion choices but everything was quality. Yes, their hummus had a few secret ingredients that set it apart from anything you'll get in a store. Spanikopita appetizer was also exceptional - hot, flaky, and flavorful. Our party of 4 had a great table (reservations not a bad idea) and two ordered the doner kebab sandwiches. Having lived in Germany and sampled countless kebab sandwiches, these were way above average with plenty of meat and tasty sauce. The meatballs on rice were tasty but the kefte was amazing. We finished off with baklava which was perfectly done. It's a family affair, nicely decorated, with prices a little higher than lower 48 but worth it. read more

This restaurant offered delicious and flavorful food. The server discussed multiple dishes with me and suggested the stew special which was exactly what I was looking for. I will go again if I'm back in Anchorage. read more

Noticed Turkish Delight driving home and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. The restaurant is clean and the decorations lovely. The service is very friendly, but best of all, the food is delicious. I tried the chicken kabob, my friend had the lamb chops. Both excellent! The baklava is wonderful. Turkish Delight is now on my list of favorite restaurants in Anchorage. read more

Excellent food! Nice atmosphere - a great alternative to the normal fare in Anchorage. Service could have been a little better. Server did not ask if we wanted something to drink when we were seated and it was difficult to get his attention in the busy restaurant. We did finally get drinks and had a very nice dinner. Will definitely go back. read more

We walked in the door with our small children, with open tables right in front of us, and the owner told us they were too busy and wouldn't have anything for 45 minutes. I looked at the open table and back at him and he just said, "Sorry Ma'am" read more

I love the location and atmosphere of this cute little restaurant. The wait was well worth it and everything is tastes so fresh. For the vegetarian/vegans out there, there are not a bunch of options but the falafel sandwich (served with a salad) was quite a delight! read more

Today was the first time I've eaten here I had the Donner Kebab and it was absolutely excellent never had an Gyro near as good as this. Definitely plan on coming back and trying this restaurant again. read more

Enjoyed everything. We shared the spinach appetizer, lentil soup and beef/lamb entree. We will definitely return! Delicious!

Food is FANTASTIC we started with the BABA CANOUSH (Roasted eggplant, puree seasoned with garlic & extra virgin olive oil) with pita bread, I had the CALAMARI strips in white wine with capers, the wife opted for the MURATTI's KOFTE (Seasoned meet balls over rice with a salad). Save room for NICKS famous Baklava for dessert. Try the unique ELMA (apple flavored) tea. Not only will we be back but we will bring our friends, family and visitors. Early is best 4 ish, it gets crowded latter. read more

I had the Iskender Donner Kebab and Dolmas. Both were absolutely delicious. The service was also very good. I am looking forward to future visits already. read more

What a wonderful surprise! Great food, great service, and right here in midtown Anchorage. You just have to try it! Five Stars!!

Wow, great food! Home made Dolmas and the lamb we had was amazing. Great Turkish coffee to follow up and we were happy. Definitely give this place a visit. read more

Visiting AK and wanted a vegetarian choice. The atmosphere was casual, I sat at the counter and watched them cook. Excellent falafels and lentil soup! Highly recommend. read more

Smaller restaurant that offers very good service and excellent freshly cooked food. Hummus with warm bread was outstanding. Chicken kabob was nicely char grilled and very tender. Limited menu but what they serve is top quality. read more

Fantastic meal all around, from the appetizers to the lamb. And the service was great. And the price was very reasonable. A great meal at a great price! read more

The food here is really good and I would probably give it five stars for just the food but my experience today bumped them down to 2 stars. I went in at 11:15 and was literally the only customer in the place and my lunch did not come out for a half hour. If it took a half hour to make it, that is one thing, but they were already cooking to-go orders when I arrived and I overheard one of the cooks say "I'd better start the kofte" (that I had ordered) 15 minutes after I put the order in. The person who sitting in your restaurant need priority! Especially since I came in alone and probably don't enjoy just waiting around by myself for a half hour! The server did not come back to my table until the food arrived, to check on me or assure me it was coming soon. There was a lunch special I overheard the server telling another group about right before I left (apparently there were only a few of the specials left) but I was never told about it. I would recommend this place for phoned in to go orders, but don't bother eating here in person. read more
