Koftegi

After many opposites review online, I gave it a try on Saturday after lunch time. I was considering between doner or shawarma, then decided to order a chef plate ($50) after getting the recommendation from the waiter. It was actually good. Big portion but I think the amount of food should be more for that price. Also got an egg & cheese boat, this one is the best in my meal.

I’m having a hard time finding the words to describe the authenticity, deliciousness, and uniqueness of the recipes behind every single dish—no exaggeration. As a picky foodie I am, I’ve never experienced Middle Eastern food as authentic as what this restaurant offers. Great job, and may God bless you all with your business!

Im sorry for this. Because this restaurant is not TURKISH restaurant. Because all the people are Syrian. And all foods are not related about Turkish taste. Have to be honest for you and for all people. Of course you can make Turkish foods and kebabs but has to be Turkish taste and rules. I am Turkish and i know all the foods are not Turkish. Sorry guys I came from 120miles and i am really sad.

The breakfast platter is nice and good quality with a nice variety of options. The scrambled omelets were overcooked and rubbery. The service is a bit slow. They give you unlimited bread with your order but a tiny amount of tea with no refill which doesn't make much sense.

Authentic! Authentic! I've been looking for real Kaymak for a long time. Finally, I found a real one. All staff are very kind. You may think serving is a little slow. But it means they cook right after you order. I visited two times already. I'd like to try all the menu. The picture menu will help you what to order easily. They have "Dubai chocolate"!

Had dinner at Koftegi in Anaheim and really enjoyed it. We shared the Combination Platter between two people and it was more than enough—generous portions, everything cooked perfectly. We randomly added fries at the end (don’t ask why), and weirdly, they hit the spot. The Dubai chocolate was a standout—definitely recommend saving room for that. Service was great even though the place got pretty busy. The decor inside is beautiful too, super detailed and warm. Definitely worth checking out if you’re craving Turkish food.

This restaurant is a gem! The food is absolutely delicious! The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. The ambiance is warm and inviting. If you’re looking for a true taste of Turkey, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

Great food and service. Kind people. You can find all the authentic turkish food. After visiting istanbul I was missing most of the food and I went to this place to revisit istanbul.

Great place, Halal good, stuff is polite and friendly. Sarma Beyti is must-have food to try. Chocolate and banana dessert as well. Highly recommend!

family has been regulars here for years. we moved a little further away but still come back often enough. we've been here for suhoor, iftar, brunch, dinner, snacks. we've seen the decor and management change. it's still so good. service is prompt and helpful. decor is simple and cozy. you have to get flatbreads, manaeesh, pides whatever you heart wants to call them. no one else does cheese and spinach, and cheese and chicken (and they'll combine if you ask). my brother and i have serious childhood memories eating their unique toppings. the meat is excellent quality and juicy. wild to see the prices go up over the years. not the worst i've seen but happy to see the flatbread prices still make sense. appreciate the drink selection too, not just your typical juices and sodas. i got rose and our friend tried the laban drink and loved it.

Came here after seeing it on Infatuation's list of Best in Anaheim -- note to self: don't trust Infatuation for OC restaurants. Food was mediocre...we ordered the Chefs platter $50, doner was out of stock, so they gave us more beef that was overcooked, best thing was chicken that was juicy and paired with a great garlic sauce. Hummus, bread, salad were standard, bland. Mini lahmacuns were sour, not sure if that was on purpose, either way did not taste good. Beef flatbread had overdone beef pieces, cheesy but not much flavor to it. Tres leches was fine, nothing amazing. Bad service...slow and unfriendly, we had to ask for water multiple times. When we asked for recommendations, he just shrugged at us. After we decided what we wanted, we found out some items we're about to order were out of stock for the night. Minus one star for service. Parking free in large lot in front.

This Turkish restaurant is a hidden gem for lovers of The hummus is exceptional--silky, rich, and Paired with fresh, warm pita, it's a must-try starter. The kebabs are expertly grilled and bursting with flavor.the cheese and egg boat is flavorful The ambiance is warm and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel at home.

Absolutely delicious Turkish food! We love the so many of the dishes here! The Adana kebap, iskender, Sarina beyti, pide, lahmacun, kunefe! Oh my! We went on a trip to Turkey and tried these foods for the first time, when we got back and were craving these dishes, we tried multiple places in OC/LA but this place stood out among the rest! We've only ordered takeout from here but it's a must try!!!

Everything was amazing. Beautiful presentation and atmosphere. Delicious Turkish food. This place is my favorite place and staff are nice and friendly.

One of my favorite spots for Mediterranean/turkish cuisines,they do have different variations of the food and the atmosphere is really nice

After hearing so many great things about the Knefe here, today was the day we decided to try it and it was the best decision ever. Good knefe is very hard to find. Although Little Arabia has many places that serve it, I have never found the perfect Knefe until now. I called it in for pick up. The owner who answered the phone was so gracious and kind. He said 15 minutes and it will be ready and I hoped those 15 minutes went by fast. When I went to pick it up I noticed the restaurant was pretty busy. The traditional Syrian decor was the most gorgeous I have seen. Upon looking further I saw they had amazing kabobs and bakery items that included the Dubai chocolate. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The owner once again greeted me and offered me tea while I waited. It made me feel like I was back home. Now to the Knefe. Absolutely delicious. If you are in the area and just want dessert you must go try it. It was crispy with a beautiful cheese pull. The flavors were perfect. It hit the spot. Not too sweet and for me didn't need any extra syrup. I will be coming back again and again for more goodness.

This place is awesome if you like Turkish food this is the place you need to go go fresh great service.

4.5. Place was crowded on a Saturday late morning. The cheese/sausage pide/boat was amazing. Like, haven't had something that good in a minute. Absolutely worth a visit just for the pide. Adana very good and big portion. High quality meat in the iskender and very good pita. Parroting a few other reviews on here, iskender was under seasoned. Luckily salt shaker on the table. Portions are large but its fine, add the pide and take home leftovers.

Amazing food Hidden gem in Anaheim Turkish food Was visiting Anaheim and thought to find a Mediterranean place Yelp brought me here and I am so happy it did Ordered Adana kabob with babaganouj and hummus, fresh baked bread and Turkish tea. Guy at the counter was genuinely interested to help me order things I like . Kabab was tender and juicy, side dishes were super authentic Amazing food, amazing service, amazing ambiance

I was sooo excited to try this place because I've been craving authentic food like that in Türkiye. Inside decor is cute and Turkish. I got the chicken döner, içli köfte, and spicy lahmacun, as well as 2 simits to go. The service was just okay. I was sitting at a table waiting for my to-go order and they removed the table and chair I was sitting at (WHILE I WAS THERE) to give to someone else, but when I came back inside 5 minutes later they replaced it. As if they didn't want me sitting there...?? Rubbed me the wrong way with some of the employees brushing me off earlier when I asked questions. The food took a little while, but it was busy, so to be expected. It was fresh and hot, packed with flavor. HOWEVER I did receive the wrong order, but they changed it for me with no problems. It did take about 20 minutes for the right food to come though. Overall, döner is pretty good. Classic garlic sauce, pickles, and fries inside. I would say the food is on the higher end with pricing, so if you're looking for a quick lunch, this maybe isn't the place.

This was our first time trying Turkish food. The food was all delicious. Service was okay. You just grab drinks from the refrigerator. I didn't like that there were no prices listed and everything was just $2 regardless of size. I got a can of soda thinking it would be cheaper, but it was the same price as a bottle of soda. We didn't find that out until we got the bill. They gave us complimentary baklava at the end which was nice. We were here with a friend who has a garlic intolerance. Basically everything on the menu has garlic in it whether it was in the dish or the marinade, which I think is just how Turkish food is. He still enjoyed the flavors. The environment was loud during lunch with lots of Turkish families enjoying their go to spot.

Fresh, delicious Turkish cuisine with a nice interior and ambiance. Although a bit on the pricey side, the quality of the food is worth it, and the customer service was great. It was our first time here, and we really enjoyed the experience!

What a treasure this was place is! The food is spectacular! Everything at our table was delicious and the servings were excellent! THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR MEAL WAS THE CHEESE AND EGG BOAT! The egg sounded odd so I was skeptical but I'm sooo glad we order that one because the hint of egg in it was delicious. A bit from the boat is understandable! A detail I completely loved and appreciated was the PICTURE MENU!!! As a visual person, that was sooo cool! I wish all restaurants did this! I want to share how amazed I was about the complimentary naan bread that's served! I've never been anywhere who does these, let's lone how generous they are. This was my first time stepping away from the table with leftover naan break! THANK YOU KOFTEGI! Also, the restaurant interior is gorgeous! 100% going back!

It was a rare occasion for me to dine at a Turkish restaurant in the US. In fact, this was my first time experiencing Turkish cuisine outside of Istanbul. Owned by a friend of my friend's in-law-to-be, the restaurant offered a selection of traditional Turkish dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. The meats were prepared in the Halal style, and the flavors were exceptional. While it's difficult to discern between Halal and non-Halal tastes, I understand that some people have religious preferences regarding their food. The black tea I ordered complemented the meal perfectly, although it's worth noting that the restaurant does not serve alcohol. The Mediterranean-inspired decor and ambiance, along with the predominantly Middle Eastern clientele, added to the authentic experience. Overall, I would highly recommend visiting this establishment to sample delicious Mediterranean cuisine. The service definitely needs improvement. Our second order didn't arrive until after we had finished the first one completely. We were left wondering when the second order would be ready and had to remind the waitstaff about it. Their response seemed puzzled, and it wasn't clear if they understood our query. We even considered ordering something else, but luckily, the second order finally arrived about five minutes later. To better accommodate the diverse ethnicities of their patrons, the establishment may need to ensure that their waitstaff communicates clearly and with appropriate expressions.

Been to Turkey and experienced how good were foods we enjoyed, made us drive all the way to this place. We ordered Lahmajun which basically their pizza style, tasted very authentic. And of course not to forget to order my fave dish, Iskender. The meat is dry in the outside and soft and tasty in the inside. The bread is quite generous. Service was fine. And the inside decor really makes me feel I am in Turkey, beautiful and strong of country ambiance The only downside to my opinion is the price (compared to other resto I tried) quite high.

Nice decor. Very Mediterranean tradition. Indoor seating or to-go Got the Chef's Platter $47.99. They didn't have doner, but replaced it with Adana Kebob. All the meats were so good, with bbq flavor! The hummus flavor was light and paired well with the meat and flat bread. Even the mini lahmajuns (pizza like) were so good and paired it with garlic butter....omg so delicious!!! Highly recommend if you want to try different meats they have.

- Been wanting Lentil Soup for a long time, it's really good here - Lahmajo is also decent - Tea like in Istanbul - Overall everything is great, I recommend it

My husband and I got the Turkish Breakfast Tray, hummus with beef and kebbeh! The eggs lacked flavor but everything else was exceptional! The pastries are fresh, the meat on the hummus was seasoned to perfection and the kebbeh was one of my favorites. The inside is decorated very nice as well. We will definitley be back for lunch or dinner soon.

Went for the first time last night and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the chefs platter so that we could try multiple items and everything was pretty good. My favorites were the chicken and ribeye beef shish kabob. The drinks weren't on the menu but were in these refrigerators that you just go up and grab. The decorations were really nice and we didn't wait too long for food. (Went for dinner on a Saturday night) Was only able to take pictures of half the menu. Overall I would recommend and go again!

Delicious food and excellent customer service. Highly recommend getting the chef's special. The garlic butter is so yummy, I had to get three of them

If you order from Koftegi online, or by phone for pick up, have plenty of time on hand, because they are never on time. I order Garlic chicken and a Sandwich for pickup. Order placed at 1.43pm, system gave me 25 minutes for order to be ready. I arrived at the restaurant 2.25pm to pick up, i was told another 15 - 20 minutes. No apology was offered, rude people. This is the problem with this place, they are too busy serving walk ins, dont give a damn to the online or phone orders. So beware before you order from this place. They should learn to at least apologize, no manners, no politeness, just rudeness.

Fantastic place. The takeout order was accurate and packaged with care. I do appreciate when a takeout order is arranged so items aren't spilling or leaking. Will definitely be back again. Staff is friendly and polite.

Amazing and delicious, definitely order a little bit of everything! Made fresh and with so much love, you can definitely tell all of the ingredients and recipes are authentic! The flatbreads were so good it was crazy! coming back to try more next time!!

This was my second visit to Köftegi. My first experience, about five months ago, was quite poor as my family and I waited for our food for 30 minutes before leaving. Today, I decided to give it another shot with some friends. We placed our order at 6:15 PM exactly. I asked the waiter about the wait time, mentioning our previous experience, and he assured us that only two tables were ahead of us, with the restaurant being only 4-5 tables full. After waiting for 25 minutes with no food, I approached the waiter again, reminding him of our last visit and asking him to ensure our food arrived soon. However, after another 40 minutes passed, I called him to the table to check the status. I informed him that I would leave if our food did not arrive within five minutes. Unfortunately, even after this, we did not receive our food. We waited for about 45 minutes for three simple dishes: two pides and one lahmacun and had to leave at 6:55 pm.This experience was, unfortunately, even worse than the first. I cannot recommend Köftegi based on these experiences.

Great pides! Just like Turkey! Enjoyed it so much especially the one with soujouk! Will be back for more.

The knafeh was sublimeeeeee. Best thing on the menu, but everything else was very good too!

Staff are usually very patient and kind. I haven't been here since before the remodel so new decor looks very present and beautiful. Always craving for a kashkaval and Turkish soujek pide from this place. My mom loves the pide with just the kashkaval cheese, mostly for the bread that is used. You can tell it is made fresh and with care. She even saves it for breakfast next day. I steered from my usual soujek and ordered the ground beef and egg pide. Slightly dry but I think it's just cause I miss the cheese. Will always return to this Turkish spot for my usual and attempt to try new things.

I recently visited Koftegi and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. After an hour wait to get a table, we were seated and placed our order promptly. However, guests who arrived after us were served their meals well before us. When we inquired about the delay, our server ignored us multiple times. Finally, when we managed to get their attention, we were told that our breakfast order would be served after the other guests big meals This explanation was not only frustrating but also completely unacceptable. We were starving and felt that our order should have been prioritized based on the time it was placed, not the type of meal. The poor service and lack of consideration made what should have been an enjoyable meal extremely unpleasant. I hope Koftegi will address these issues to ensure a better experience for future customers!

Wow, I stumbled upon Koftegi through a friend and it was like finding hidden treasure! The menu photos alone had my mouth watering, and boy did they deliver. I started with the grape leaves and it was like tasting them for the first time. The flavors were so fresh and authentic, it transported me straight to Turkey. Next up, the Cheese and Spinach Flatbread. The balance of buttery soft bread with a crispy crust and just the right amount of cheese was heavenly. I loved that it wasn't too cheesy, just the way I like it. But what really blew me away was the orange soft drink with real pieces of orange that melted in my mouth. The perfect amount of sugar to wrap up my senses. Koftegi was a refreshing and delicious experience. The food was filling without leaving me feeling too full, and the flavors and textures were perfectly balanced. If you're looking for a taste of Turkey in Southern California, look no further than Koftegi!

Very tasty Turkish cuisine. Lentil soup, gozleme, and all the other food is excellent. Polite staff. Many tables. Beautiful interior.

Under new ownership this place is a top rating eatery. The food is mostly Turkish. Lots of delicious baked savory pizza like but with a better twist. Cheese boats and pies some with pastrami or eggs or both. All yummy clean and fulfilling. They serviceTurkish breakfast all day. It includes eggs, variety of small savory and sweet breakfast items like cheeses and Carbor molasses and Tahini with hot Turkish tea and bread baked in shop. For Lunch lots of grilled meats including Chicken , meat cubes and minced meat and much more. There is also variety if appetizers that are vegan. Many desserts are on display . I suggest trying a variety of dishes especially the chef plate which has a little of everything enough for 2. Service is excellent but sometimes slower when crowded The interior is upgraded and looking like part of a muesum!

Breakfast platter- 10 Zaatar bread-10 Meat item-10 Tea- 9 Everything was really good. Decorations are beautiful and very unique.

My first time here it's a very good experience... owner is so good and we were served with the excellent Turkish dish. I love their food esp the Kunafa (dessert)

Honestly no service only one guy working register and coming to every table to take orders and food wasn't no flavor and not everything you see on pictures come down. Waiting for the food was bad they brought down one thing and the other food brought it down 20 minutes after they brought down the next dish was the simple breakfast platter. Just all around bad honestly.

This place is a gem! We had some friends visiting from Canada and one of them were originally from Turkey. I mentioned to him that I've never had Turkish food and he found this place and it didn't disappoint! Everything we ate was amazingly delicious. And according to my friend it was authentic. The service was fast and kind! They were on it! Is very much family style eating, which I love. Can't wait to go back!

The food was delicious and full of flavor. I had combination dish of chicken, kabob and beef cubes. Their fatoush was the best I ever had. I'll definitely go back again when I am in the area.

First time to dine here The cheese and zaatar was served hot and so yummy The lentil soup was on the smokey taste compared to the other ones I had Service was friendly Restaurant is clean Dessert was yummy too(forgot to take photo) Will be back to try other items in their menu.

I visited this Turkish restaurant and was absolutely thrilled! Excellent food, attentive staff, and a cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

Food is ok 6/10 trying Ali nazak, pide laham ajeen Service 0/10 i called and book table of 6 and when we arrive on time they already give our table to another customer. Place is small. I would never go there for horrible experience even when sit on the table it took them an hour to being food at least being appetizers to make up for giving up our table despite our reservation.

This is more a late night cafe for those who want to smoke hooka. We ended up there after a concert and because the place we were going to was closed. So we walked to this place and even though we were very hungry but nothing tasted good except the persian pizza which was ok. The positive was that we certainly laughed a lot since our server did not even carry a paper to write down our orders and would ask the orders from only 3 people at a time. And after all that they end up having the orders wrong. First and adt time there ever.

Best manaeesh and spinach pockets in the oc! They fill the pockets generously and top their pizzas generously as well! The dough is beyond any dough I have ever tasted. Recipe is ON POINT. My favorite is the cheese and zaatar. Please go try this place out you will love it!

Food is amazing . Love the simit . The chicken there is amazing . I recommend you try the big cheese boat and the think spicy lahmajoun. Breakfast items are yummy .

We went for a casual lunch to Koftegi after running errands and to my surprise it was such a great experience As we entered the restaurant was bustling with people We were seated within a few minutes After placing our order our appetizer came in followed by main course The portions were huge The food was delicious and I loved the ambience Definitely going to go again 4/5

Best food great service I usually go there once a month I don't live near by, I love the kebe nayi definitely recommend

We decided to try out this cute this Turkish place after looking around to find some food Turkish food. The place was small and cute with Turkish type decor that made you feel as if you're in Turkey. Beautiful paintings, Turkish chandelier etc. We were seated right away and ordered various things starting with the Beef Juju boat which was ok. The kabobs, the beef shish and chicken were delicious!! I didn't like the doner and the kofta Pattie's as it tasted gamey and you can smell the lamb. But everything else was delicious! Now comes time for Kunafa, didn't know what to expect since we love Knafhe cafe but wanted to try this out and omg!!!! Get it! Best Kunafa ever!!!!! Knafhe cafe does not compare to this places Kunafa! It was hot, not too sweet, Cheesey deliciousness. I will always come back here for the star of the show and looked as good as it tasted! Can't wait to come back here!!

Certainly! Here's a shorter 5-star review for Koftegi in Orange County: Koftegi is a hidden gem! From the warm welcome to the incredible kofte, this place is a must-visit. The menu has options for everyone, and the service is top-notch. Don't miss the baklava! A true Turkish delight in Orange County. Can't wait to return!

The most delicious food served by the most wonderful people. The sarma beyti is my favorite thing here and I get it every single time I come (and it's as delicious each time).
