    Appetizer trio of pink sultana (beet dip), babaganoush, and stuffed grape leaves.

    I haven't had Turkish food before, so I came into Vourla with a completely open mind. We dined there mid-afternoon on a Sunday (January) and were the only occupied table. To my surprise and delight, all of the food was phenomenal. We began with an appetizer trio of pink sultana (beet dip), babaganoush, and stuffed grape leaves. My entree was lamb shish kebab, which came with rice pilaf and a small salad. The lamb was tender and wonderfully marinated in fragrant spices. I also tasted the lamb chops which were excellent. Everything served was fresh and flavorful. It felt pretty healthy too, with lots of olive oil and colorful veggies. Left without feeling heavy. We finished with Turkish coffee and unpictured milk custard (custard was just okay - like rice pudding but without the rice and a little artificial coconutty tasting). Service was admittedly lukewarm. Staff was not overly friendly, but our table's needs were taken care of just fine. I would definitely dine here again.

    Delicious Mixed Grill Platter for 2!

    Always satisfying! Keep coming back for more here. Service is excellent our quick fix for middle eastern food in town. Mixed grilled platter for 2 was perfect. Pictured below

    Food was good, service was ok. Would consider going again. Octopus char grilled was a bit firm but flavor was there. Pasta was simple for those who want something less traditional, Branzino flavorful and light, and lamb chops were a favorite. Portions were big. Service was ok not very attentive. Had to ask for settings, and water at the end of the meal because we weren't checked on. When someone else came over they asked if we wanted bread after the entree were out. casual dining attached to the mall.

    Really poor quality doner kebab
    Jeff S.

    Vourla is located in the Coastland Center Mall, so I was a bit worried that the food would resemble something you'd find in a food court. But actually, it was a very solid place with some outstanding dishes. First I have to mention the staff, who were excellent. Our waiter in particular was extremely pleasant and very knowledgeable about the menu. He provided top notch service throughout our visit. The menu has a very nice selection of Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine. For appetizers we got the zucchini fritters, oregano and feta topped fries, muhammara and the falafel with hummus. For our entrees we got the Adana kebab, lamb kebab, chicken doner and a fattoush salad. The food was very good overall with a few exceptions. I especially like the lamb kebab which was one of the best I've had in recent memory. The Adana kebab was also quite good. However what boggles my mind is that the same kitchen that made the delectable lamb kebab and beautiful Adana kebab also prepared an absolutely terrible chicken doner kebab. It was seriously the worst doner I've ever had flavor-wise. And on top of it, the texture was too soft and the temperature wasnt nearly hot enough. I seriously think it was microwaved, but that's just my suspicion. The other items were all pretty good. The fritters were nice, a bit oily, but tasty. The falafel had good flavor but it was slightly overdone. I also want to mention that while the fries were good, they forgot to put feta on it. Not a huge deal, but definitely a mistake on their part. Most of us left satisfied with the meal, but my kid who got the doner kebab was bummed out about hers and having taste it, I totally sympathize. I'd definitely avoid this dish if you're thinking about visiting. All in all, I'd give Vourla 4 stars. It's almost a 5 but that doner kebab was utterly horrendous, no two ways about it.

    Delicious Mediterranean food, located in coastland mall food court. The interior is large with tables and booth seating. The servers were kind and quick! We tried several items: Muammara- lovely walnut based spread. The pita bread was warm and soft. Mixed Mediterranean Olives- great mix; personally thought priced on the high side for quantity. Char-grilled Spanish Octopus- perfection!! Lamb and Beef Doner (GYRO)Kebab- tasty; portion size slightly skimpy Feta Cheese- fluffy with good flavor. I would have preferred in chuncks. Great place for Mediterranean fix!

    Mixed Grill Platters for 4.

    We went there in a group of 7 and we absolutely loved the food. The flavors were super good. We had 3 sampler consisting of 3 items, olives , babaganoush, and tzatziki. We also had the Shepards salad (which was awesome) and their pita bread to start with. I ordered the grilled octopus, and it was the best octopus outside of Spain! For this reason and that reason above all, they get the rating. We then ordered the mixed platter, and the kebabs, grilled meat, chicken, shish kebabs with grilled vegetables and fresh vegetables were so great. We finished off with a kunefe desert, which was superb. We took my mom, her husband, and aunt along with a family friend and the absolutely loved it. The restaurant was pretty and the staff super sweet. I would recommend this place and will definitely be back, the chef and staff are doing an amazing job.

    The Mousakka was not that great and brute were the kibble. It was an underwhelming experience.

Dining outdoors was such a nice touch, especially with the live violinist playing throughout the evening, it really elevated the atmosphere and made the night feel special. I will say, if you're sitting outside, you may want to bring or use some mosquito repellent (I left with a few bites on my leg), but it didn't take away from the overall experience. The lasagna I ordered was absolutely delicious, rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The staff was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made us feel well taken care of all evening. To top it off, they surprised my friend with a complimentary slice of pistachio cake for her birthday. It was so good I would've ordered one for myself if I hadn't already been so full! Definitely recommend for a special occasion or a lovely night out in Naples.

The drinks, while a bit pricey for some of the options, were on point as well. The service was just OK - they were not at capacity by far and we had to wait quite a bit to order another round of drinks or pay the bill. The negative experience - apparently they do not clean the chairs. Please check before you sit down. My new dress is basically going into the trash because I sat in a pool of olive oil or who knows what else someone decided to wipe on that chair and the entire back side of my dress is one huge greasy stain!! Thank goodness the restaurant is located in a mall and I was able to go to a store to purchase a new outfit. We made our server aware of the situation but all we got was a quick apology and no other effort to make things right. Overall, just disappointed in how they handled this situation. I walked out of the place in a bad mood, lost a beautiful new dress and had to spend another $70 on a fresh outfit - sorry the food was good and all but not worth this aggravation.

An open kitchen concept that is bright and roomy. Not my favorite decor in the world but extremely nice service! I craving something fresh & healthy after a holiday bonanza of food - we decided on Mediterranean cuisine and knowing Amfora is consistently delicious, we landed here! Their Grand Mezze platter offers creamy greek cheeses, hummus, baba ghnoush, and marinated peppers and olives. Really great offering! Then we split the Beet Salad with poppyseeds, walnuts, goat cheese, and pomegranate dressing - YUM! The blue crab gnocchi with saffron sauce was to die for (although I didn't understand the corn in there!) They even provided a scrumptious, decadent piece of their homemade tiramisu for my bday dessert - CHEERS TO 29 (again)
