Nomadic Kitchen - Review - Redwood City - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Everything at this casual Turkish spot is made from scratch, including the seeded “nomadic bread,” which comes warm to your table with most orders, like the paper-thin lahmacun that’s baked to a crisp and topped with spiced beef and lamb. The indoor dining area is comfortable and welcoming, with intricately painted blue-and-white tiles and decorative light fixtures overhead, but if the weather permits, definitely opt for the breezy outdoor patio. And whatever you do, be sure to end your meal with a pleasantly bitter Turkish coffee." - Gabi Moskowitz

Those Stellar ratings... I see what the hype is all about. I was a bit skeptical about the stellar ratings. It looks like it was earned justifiably so... We walked past here a couple times and thought we should give this place a try. Well this was the weekend it happened. Nomadic Kitchen is a Turkish restaurant churning out some tasty food. A mid size fast causal small business with a decent amount of seating inside. It's in downtown RWC, so embrace the challenge of parking. lol #TurkishEats: ~ MEZZE: Mezze Combination - 4.5/5 Just about everything was excellent. I could have sworn we ordered the smaller of the two combination, but we end up getting the bigger combination. Oh well, no complaints. We got to try a goo a majority of the messie menu. ~ PIDES: Nomadic Pide - 5/5 Apparently according to comments from my fellow Yelpers, this was a must try it. So we gave it a try, absolutely no regrets; like a fancy craft Pizza / Flatbread. Best way I can describe it, since I don't know what a Pide is...delish! ~ ENTREES: Kofte kebab - 5/5 This was one of the best kabobs I've had stateside in a while. The meat was tender and full of flavor. The Entrees come with rice, salad and a basket of bread. Unbeatable value for some delish food. ~ basket of bread - 4.5/5 delish! I think this is made in house, and if it isn't I want to know where they buy the bread! I'll be a regular there... Service was good, all the food came out at a decent time. We got a chance to me Hasan, the owner and chef. Nice guy, very friendly. Great experience... I'll definitely be back!

I tried the lahmacun and it was excellent. I think this restaurant has the potential to become very successful because the ingredients are fresh and the service is great. They could improve the space and the presentation of the menu to better showcase Turkey’s rich and beautiful culture. Adding photos of Turkish dishes and traditional crafts would make the restaurant feel more welcoming and full of character. The hospitality and service were outstanding.

Friendly service. Delicious food. The cucumber salad was such a treat. Way more than expected. And the kofte kebab were fresh and juicy. Generous portions at a reasonable price. Will definitely come back!

Best Turkish food I’ve had so far! We ordered the mezze combo, chicken plate, and falafel plate — everything was delicious. Friendly owner and fast service.

The food is outstanding!! I feel that the food is not any less delicious than Mazra. It feels even healthier. Very impressed and underrated. My only little suggestion is to change the design of the entrance and make it a bit modern and polished. People would flock to this place! It’s in a nice location. Great service. Just need a bit of exterior update can give a much better vibe. Interior was great and everything else was amazing!

Nomadic Kitchen is a gem for anyone craving authentic Turkish food. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel like you’ve been invited into someone’s home—warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see you. Every dish I’ve tried here has been bursting with flavor and made with obvious care. The portions are generous (read: come hungry), and the food is as comforting as it is satisfying. The only hiccup? They don’t clear tables between courses. Since everything comes out on large, beautiful plates, you’ll find yourself stacking and shuffling dishes around if you order dessert. Not a dealbreaker, but something to note. If you’re after hearty, delicious Turkish food served with kindness, Nomadic Kitchen is absolutely worth the visit—just be ready to make a little room on the table yourself.

A phenomenal place for dinner where you absolutely must try their hummus and their various pides. Recommend their mezze combination for the hummus and the dolma as my two favorites and it comes with delicious bread. The pide is served on this nice crispy dough reminiscent of pizza. The owner is also extremely kind and comes around to check in with each table. We tried their kunefe for dessert and it's quite different from other versions and somewhat of an acquired taste. It's rather sweet as it's soaked in a syrup. They have a smaller dining area inside but a nice patio on the street for outdoor dining!

This place feels underrated—don’t sleep on it! We walked in and were immediately welcomed with warm and friendly service. We only tried the Turkish coffee and a dessert this time, but both were great. We’re definitely planning to come back to try the food!

If you've ever been to Turkiye, you know their hospitality is legendary. And their cuisine is a source of national pride. Nomadic Kitchen is straight out of Istanbul. Think of flavors like toasted sesame, pomegranate, smoky red peppers, grilled meats. Even things you recognize like hummus and baba ghanoush hit differently. Turkish red wine is rich and fruity, and strong tea is served in traditional glasses. Not only is the food delicious, but the owners treat you like family. My husband and I went for a Friday evening out, early enough to still find a table for two. What surprised me was the number of patrons coming in with reservations! There were at least three different parties of 5-6 in the time it took to eat our meal. Lesson learned: if you want to eat here Friday through Sunday night, get a reservation. In winter, the outdoor seating area appears to be closed. The inside of the restaurant is a little spartan, but don't let that deter you. It's a young restaurant in a small space. Let's show them some RWC love so that they can upgrade to a bigger venue!! Last thing-- the olives have pits!! Be sure to check before you chomp.

The food was amazing. I got the Kofte Kebab plate and the nomadic Pide bread. The meat was seasoned so well, and the sides were so flavorful. They included a refreshing salad with vinaigrette which was a nice palette cleanser. The bread was crispy, and the toasted sesame was so tasty! Would recommend!

Wow what an amazing new addition to DT RWC. My family came for dinner around 6pm and had a nice big table outside. We pretty much ordered one of every meat, one meat filled flatbread, and the giant sampler platter and that was more than enough to feed all 11 of us. The platter was outstanding, beautifully platted, definitely IG worthy. We had no idea what we were eating but it was all delicious, especially with the house bread. Service was friendly and the indoor space is beautiful as well. My only complaint was that the bread baskets did not look the cleanest, a little sticky with old residue within the weaving.

Excellent food! I really didn't expect this high-quality of food at a casual dining spot. The kofte was tender, juicy and so flavorful. It came with five pieces, rice, another grain and salad. everything was delicious, I just wish that the salad had a little bit more acidity in the dressing. The Nomadic pide was also very flavorful and had a nice crisp. It was really great with the different dips from the mezze combo too. Got the mezze combination with four selections: hummus, ezma, tzatziki, and cucumber salad. They were served with small portions of the other selections, which was a very nice surprise. The cucumber salad was pickled, which I didn't mind since I love pickles, it was just not what I expected. I especially loved the ezma. I would get everything again. I'll definitely be back. Five stars because I would hate for them to close. Service was good and the owner/chef was very friendly.

Amazing food and service! We love the pide and mezze sampler. We tried everything and it was more than enough for 3 adults - easily fed 4. Their bread is so delicious, too. My husband ordered the falafel plate and it was also very good. I like how much more low-key and you can have a great conversation.

Let's say I'm glad we tried this place! Amazing nomadic pide. I would say that's their signature thing and it's a must try. I'd definitely go back for this thing. Dolma is classic and delicious. It's a rustic Turkish vibe. On the Main broadway in Redwood City in the middle of big variety of fancy and unique restaurants. This one is refreshing and affordable. Service is great!

I can see why this restaurant has such high yelp reviews! The food is really good and very reasonably priced for the Bay Area, Service was friendly - pro tip, apparently you can go from both this restaurant and the Vietnamese restaurant next door as well when seated outside?! My mind was blown and this is quite helpful the party wants different things at dinner. We tried the mezze combo as well as different meat skewers (lamb, beef, chicken) and all were perfectly cooked. Each skewer plate also came with two types of grain plus a salad for less than $20! Good deal for yummy meal! There is pet friendly, umbrella covered outdoor seating with heat lamps.

Yum! Just incredibly YUM! Ordered babaganoush and nomadic pide. Realized we didn't even take a photo because we absolutely demolished it the second it landed on the table. Service is great! The owner is so kind and informative. Staff are very attentive. Great spot! Will definitely be coming back as our go to spot!

Solid Turkish restaurant on Broadway in Redwood City. Had dinner with four college friends last night. We shared a couple of mezze combination platters with Turkish bread (messy but tasty) and I shared a lamb kebab entrée with the other meat eater in the group (the lamb was good, the rice even better). The stars of the evening, however, were the desserts. Both the Kunefe (pan fried shredded dough with sweet cheese) and the Katmer (thin sheets of pastry layered with Kaymak clotted cream) were superb! Service was good. Bathroom was tiny but functional. Parking was not easy to find on a Friday evening, so I parked in the Century theater parking garage a couple of blocks away (free for first 90 minutes). Happy to return for the dessert!

Was in the area with my family and we had wanted to try out Nomadic Kitchen for a little while now. I'm glad that we did, and good thing we made a reservation! Hasan and Whitney were so kind to not only us, but it seems like they have many regulars that enjoy Nomadic Kitchen! I'm not as familiar with Turkish food, but after my visit to Nomadic Kitchen, I'm definitely a fan. Different dips with their own unique flavor in the mezze combination, flavorful dolmas, and crispy pides kicked off a delicious meal. I absolutely loved the beef kebab plate - juicy, tender steak with different rice/grain accompaniments and salad, plated beautifully. Parking is a bit hard to find on a Saturday evening with the main lot being worked on, but despite that, I wholeheartedly recommend visiting Nomadic Kitchen for the great service and food!

Came in at around 12pm for lunch with a party of 2 with no reservation and was seated immediately. We've been wanting to come to this spot forever! Last time dinner was all booked with reservations, so we tried at lunch time this time and were happy to have a meal here. The food is phenomenal, so worth the hype! The lahmacun is my favorite on the block! I also highly recommend the esme, it was my favorite among all the mezzes we got on the sampler plate. Everything was delicious! The space is super clean with a light and airy feel. Service was very fast. Would love to visit again!

The owner creates all his dishes himself. He imports spices just for this restaurant. The largest Mezze you must get. It is a large plate and good for a few people. There is no restaurant like this in the entire area and maybe even for a 500 mile radius although claiming LA might not have something close is pushing it. For the educated palate longing for something new, different, original, and so pleasing, you must try Nomadic Kitchen!

I rarely write Yelp reviews, but I had to for this one. My friend and I were craving Mediterranean food and stumbled upon this gem with 5 stars on Yelp. We came on a Wednesday around 4pm and had the whole place to ourselves. The restaurant had a cozy vibe indoors, but we decided to eat outside since it was a nice day We ordered the Kofte Plate, and WOWW, it was juicy, flavorful, and super filling. Each bite was seasoned perfectly. We also ordered Hummus, and the owner/chef Hassan generously let us try a few other sauces on the same plate, which were all delicious. We can really taste the care and authenticity in everything he makes For dessert, we planned to get 2 Kunefes, but Hassan suggested to switch it up and try 1 Kunefe and 1 Katmer instead, and I'm so glad we listened. The Kunefe was fresh, crunchy, and perfectly balanced with syrup (not overly sweet, but just right). The Katmer (thin pastry with pistachio filling) was something I've never had before and it was very delicious I've tried a couple Mediterranean spots, but this is hands down one of my favorites. The flavors, the hospitality, the authenticity 10/10 food and 10/10 service. It reminded me of when I visited Turkey. This place truly deserves the 5 star rating. Will definitely be coming back!

Everything was good, but I liked the Kofte Kebabs the most. The kebabs were made with ground lamb, beef and herbs and came served with a salad and two starches: one is a red bulgur pilaf and the other is a rice pilaf with şehriye - a toasted, orzo-like pasta. The kebabs were juicy on the inside and well cooked. I preferred the bulgur pilaf over the rice pilaf because it had more flavor and spices. The mezze combination was fun. I liked how it was laid out on the plate and my favorite was the Pink Lady: a mix of red cabbage, labneh and spices. Overall the meal was really fun and I liked it a lot.

One of the best hummus and kebabs I have ever had! Such fresh food, solid quality, and great vibes. The owner was very sweet and explained all the dishes to me. The hummus and kofte kebab were to die for, and you can ask for fresh pita on the side (instead of the bread). Will def be back, no wonder everyone recommends this place!

Sometimes you serendipitously run into amazing people doing great things. Today was one of those days at Nomadic Kitchen. I'll focus on the review, but encourage you to chat with Hassan (owner/front of house) when you invariably eat here. His story is inspiring and the outcome he has created speaks for itself. Nomadic Kitchen is a casual, authentic Turkish restaurant where the menu may not look unique, but the preparation and flavors are exemplary. Indeed, you will see most of the same menu items at other places including take out stands. Don't be fooled. The food here is at least one level above. Tbh, I came in to have pide but got distracted by the lahmacun and went with that instead. I enjoy the uniqueness of Turkish spices and this did not disappoint. Light crisp flatbread with lots of spices and some ground beef and lamb. A simple salad and some lemon to wrap inside the flatbread was tasty! As the restaurant was emptying at 1:30 on a Monday, Hassan brought me a small sampler of his mezzes to try. Actually there were ten of them on the plate. To top it off, he insisted I try some of his special bread. After tasting these, I stopped eating my lahmacun and wished I had just ordered mezzes! The bread was pretty great - light, crisp on the outside, fluffy inside and perfect for mezze dipping. Apparently it is a style of bread only made during Ramadan in Turkey that takes three days to ferment. He makes it everyday for his customers. Everything here is homemade and he makes dozens of different mezzes depending on what ingredients are fresh. He uses butcher (premium) cuts of meat for his kebabs and kofte. Service was prompt, friendly and generous. Pricing was more than fair for the quality of food. The dining area is not particularly special - it is a casual place - but it is comfortable and bright. You aren't coming here for the ambiance, you are coming for the food! My mistake was eating solo. Going with group would allow you to try much more of the menu. Highly recommend Nomadic Kitchen. Go there with some friends and order lots of mezzes with bread and whatever you are in the mood to eat. I suspect every item on the menu is prepared with care. Try it!

This is easily some of the best and most authentic Mediterranean food I've had on the Peninsula. The pictures speak for themselves! ​The Mezze Platter was a standout. It wasn't just hummus and pita; it was a thoughtfully curated plate with a wide variety of tastes--pickled items, savory beans, different creamy dips, and even sweet figs. It was a perfect start. ​The Kofte Kebab was hearty and satisfying. The meat was perfectly cooked and spiced, and serving it with two types of pilaf and a bright, fresh salad was a great touch. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Service was great. I like the vibe! Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

Never disappoints, ordered the beef kabob this time. I do not think you can go wrong with any dish on the menu here. Their sesame bread is the best bread I have tasted at any restaurant and reminds me a lot of old-style Chinese shao-bing. Lots of childhood memories from China brought back at a Turkish restaurant in Redwood City downtown of all places! Complimentary black tea after the meal with a blend of three teas grown on the owner's farm. Super aromatic and fragrant with just the right amount of astringency to help clean your palate after the grilled meats. The portion size is just right and you never feel hungry or stuffed. Great mix of healthy grains, salad and protein. I could eat this every day for lunch and be in tip top shape. There's a reason the Mediterranean diet exists... This restaurant is my current #1 pick for restaurants anywhere in the world that I have visited. I can't bold text on Yelp so I will say it again: #1 restaurant anywhere in the world. Forget the Michelin stars and overpriced flashy spots, just come here, enjoy the food and have some Turkish tea with the owner after your meal. I hope they keep up the excellent work!

This family owned restaurant is located in the heart of Redwood City downtown. There are plenty of parking spots available around this establishment. They offer indoor and outdoor dining. We were greeted and seated by the friendly owner upon entering this restaurant. We ordered the mezze combination ,chicken kebab, Turkish coffee, and Turkish tea. The mezzo combination was a huge platter of hummus, olives, yogurt, pickled cabbage, pickled cucumbers, garbanzo beans, pickles, and pomegranates. It was nicely plated and garnished. It also came with a basket of warm housemade bread that we really liked. The chicken kebab was tender and juicy. It was also well seasoned. The rice and salad went well with the kebabs. The Turkish coffee is pretty strong and the Turkish tea was fragrant. During our meal, we chatted a bit with the kind owner. They had been in business for only three months. We can tell that they take pride in their cooking. We will be back to try their pides and falafels.

Nomadic kitchen has a great selection of dishes in Turkish cuisine. Owner/chef is such a friendly person which makes the visit a really nice experience. We tried lahmacun and icli köfte at our visit. Lahmacun was crunchy and tasty. However, it was a bit oily for my taste and arrived cold. They let us customize icli kofte cooking style so we tried one boiled and one fired. I think boiled version better - fried version was unfortunately broken. I think the part that needs most improvement is the service. Food was quite delayed and so was the check. It is a small venue but they are struggling to keep up with the high demand. All tables were full when we visited so they had a lot of customers to deal with, experience might be different on a weekday night.

Second visit here for a lunch on weekend afternoon. Wasn't very busy so we got a table outside without problems. We ordered a pide and the chicken kebab. With a lemonade and an Ayran. The pide was great with the sausage, perfectly baked and good amount of cheese. The chicken kebab was delicious, grilled to the point and the rice and salad were also nicely seasoned. The complimentary bread was as also good. Will come back to try more options. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

I Always have such a pleasant experience visiting here. I love coming here for brunch. Start with their amazing mezze platter. Comes with a range of different dips and salad. So many unique flavors and ingredients! Comes with a bread basket. The lahmacun was another favorite, comes with a side of salad. We also tried a few of the pides. All dishes are easily shareable, we had it all family style. The waiters and owner are always so welcoming. Don't forgot to order a cup of tea to complement your delicious meal!

Love this place and have been several times! Owner was very hospitable ad don't be afraid to ask for recommendations! The lahmacun is my absolute favorite item here, followed second by the quality beef kebab. The appetizer platter is also quite nice and a solid choice for a group to share. Manti is off the menu but also something I haven't found in the states until coming here. I prefer mine with more red sauce instead of yogurt and they are open to customizations. The outdoor seating is lovely during the day for lunch.

Absolutely delicious! Can for a lunch with the husband and was really glad we came. We shared a babaganoush (comes with bread) and the lamb skewer plate. The babaganoush tasted perfectly and the owner was also nice enough to give us a taste of the other appetizers, which I appreciate because I love tsaziki. The lamb skewer was cooked to perfection, medium, delicious, and plentiful of food. My favorite though.. was the dessert, Katmer. I almost didn't get it, but am SO glad I did. Thin layers of dough with a pistachio layer and this unique butter/cream called kaymak (made in house). I 100% recommend this place for lunch, a snack, or dinner. Great appetizers, skewers, Turkish coffee or tea, and so much more.

solid turkish food and friendly service. nice ambiance on the no cars part of broadway. babaganoush was super eggplanty to my delight! i asked to do a half chicken and half falafel plate, which they accommodated. the chicken was nice and juicy, but i found the falafel a little dry with a harder than expected exterior. it also did not come with any sauce. the rices and salad were all great though. overall, i'd recommend if you're in the area!

I have been coming here for over a year now and let me tell you. These guys DONT MISS, easily the best Middle Eastern food in the area without a doubt. I highly recommend the beef kebab, extremely tender yet very flavorful with a side of Dill Taziki. I also recommend the Nomadic Pide. The service is 10/10 every time and you must have their food!

3.5 STARS As much as I enjoy outdoor dining, what I don't enjoy are exhaust fumes. Sure, it may add to the sensory experience but that's not the kind of *smoke* flavoring I want in my food. So yay for Peninsula cities having streets closed off for outdoor dining! RWC is one of them. Opening in late June 2024, Nomadic Kitchen took over Kasa Eatery. Same owners as May's Vietnamese Restaurant next door. They're open for takeout, delivery, indoor dining, and dog-friendly outdoor dining (street is closed off). I've been on a Turkish food kick lately so wanted to give Nomadic Kitchen a try before heading to Stanford Shopping Center. Unfortunately, we had a different dining experience than the current 5 star reviews. Not bad but mid - off day? We arrived Sunday at lunchtime to a quiet resto with two tables occupied. Their service model is confusing but more on that later. M E N U Turkish cuisine: Apps (hummus, ezme, falafel, etc), pide (flatbreads), kebab plates, and dessert (kunefe and rice pudding). Bottled drinks available. No alcohol. F O O D * Complimentary Pide // 3.5 Stars Good chewy crust with a nice toasty flavor from the sesame seeds. Would have been great if served warm. * Lamb Kebab: Herb marinated lamb skewer w/ rice, bulgar, and salad ($20) // 3.5 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/38wjmc8r --Requested medium rare - Lamb Kebab: Well-spiced but on the dry side (cooked medium/medium-well). - Rice: Fluffy, separated grains but not hot, served room temp. - Bulgur Pilavi: The tomato bulgar pilaf had savory sweet flavor but mushy. - Salad: Fresh, crisp lettuce with carrots and cabbage with a delicious olive oil vinaigrette. * Kofte: Grilled ground lamb and beef w/ onions and herbs ($19) // 3.5 Stars: https://tinyurl.com/z2cukx3y - Kofte: The flattened meat balls were tender but like the lamb kebabs, on the dry side. - Rice, Bulgur Pilavi, and Salad: Same as above. S E R V I C E Fast food service - we received our order in less than 10 minutes. I've never had kebabs cooked so fast before. Room for Improvement (no bearing on my rating): Is it fast-casual or full-service? Upon arrival, I saw number placards on two occupied tables so I asked about the ordering process. I was told you can place your order at the counter or they can come outside to take our order. To make things easier, I ordered at the counter but wasn't asked to pay and was told they'll bring a number placard out. After receiving our order, we never saw our server again and I had to go inside to pay the bill. But, a very kind lady from the resto next door (May's) came by to refill our water glasses and offer TT water. I later found out the owners of Nomadic Kitchen also own May's Vietnamese Restaurant next door. A M B I A N C E Casual, no frills with about six tables indoors and eight tables in the front patio (only some tables had shade). P A R K I N G Street parking. Difficult lot parking on that Sunday. Garage across the street. Overall, I'm the outlier and thought the food at Nomadic Kitchen was just ok esp when you can get kebabs at a handful of other places within walking distance. 3.5 stars rounded up for a new local small business.

Quick lunch during the week, food was good but hoping for better given the reviews. I would still default to Mazra down the street for similar food but everything here was good enough to warrant trying!

We will be back! Best Turkish food I've had in a very long time. It was authentic and you can taste the quality of the food. We sat on the patio and it was such a pleasant experience. Hassan was great and very attentive.

Incredible Turkish food right here in downtown Redwood City. Service is excellent, chef makes everything fresh it's outstanding. Highly recommend this location. A wonderful family owned restaurant. We added a few pictures to the meal to display the great food. This is a great spot for a family dinner or a date night.

The food is amazing -- flavorful, authentic, every bite a delight. The bread is freshly baked -- comes out of the oven every 20 min. We hade the mezze platter and the lamb pide. The owner/chef Hassan made us feel so at home. He introduced the mezze samplers in detail, including some of his custom creations that do not have official names. We'll be back soon!

My husband has been raving about this place since he first tried it a few months ago. He's invited friends to dinner here as well. Finally tonight I had the opportunity to try the food at Nomadic Kitchen. It did not disappoint. My husband and friend ordered the chicken and beef kebob. I decided to order the Mezze Combination along with a side of falafel (came with 4) as my dinner instead of a usual entree of kebob etc. They have lots of mezzes to choose from and you can order the combination plate with choosing 4,6 or all. I opted for the all so that my husband and friend could also have some. The kebobs were enjoyed along with the mezze sampler. Husband and friend devoured the kebobs. I enjoyed trying each flavor of my mezze plate with the bread provided. I could easily share it even though that was my dinner. We even had left overs. Next time we will try the lentil soups and share a mezze combination! So good.

Literally the best Turkish food in the entire bay. Can not go wrong with this place. Perfect beef and chicken kabobs with salad and rice. . .. ..

Several fantastic experiences during a 1-week stay in RWC coming from our home north of SF. Had long chats with the owner on how the restaurant came about, and the food was super tasty. Went there 3x during our stay. Loved it.

The service was great!!! Very simple yet flavorful food! We only had the maze combo, lentil soup, pide, and the falafel plate but they were so flavorful and just right. It's a very casual place you can have a quick bite or a full meal.

I have a confession to make. We were gonna try this place a few weeks ago - but when we got there it was real empty so we decided to go somewhere else. Don't make the same mistake! Came back again tonight and the food was all fantastic!! The portions are generous. The nomadic pide was delicious. And everything on our mezze was excellent as well (including the bread!). I had a drink called ayran which is like a Turkish lassi. If you're looking for Mediterranean food - forget about the other places in the area. Nomadic Kitchen is the best of the bunch!

This is for a takeout dinner. We had a delicious Mezze sampler of very interesting and less-usual items. And 2 different pides, both very good. Both on the phone when ordering, and in person, the staff was very welcoming and helpful. The decor was fresh and attractive. I think we'll be back.

This is a casual restaurant with fair prices. The owner, Hasan, was very friendly, excited, helpful and knowledgeable about Turkish cuisine if you need help deciding what to order. The Mezze Combination Medium (your pick) was delicious! My husband loved the Lahmacun and I loved the Hummus and Falafel. They serve Efes, Turkish beer, if you would like to try or reminisce about your travels to Turkey!
