We arrived early, around 4:30 pm, and managed to secure a table without any hassle. However, it’s worth noting that reservations are highly recommended. We opted for the platter recommended for four people, and it was an absolute delight. The portion was generous, and the quality of the meats was exceptional. The flavors were simply unreal. My parents, who have visited Istanbul, described this restaurant as offering a very similar experience to being there. The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will definitely be returning in the future.

What a wonderful experience. Everything is homemade and you can taste the difference. I went out of my comfort zone and ordered the yogurt drink and Paprika Lamb Beyti, based on the owner's recommendation. The dish was flavorful and had a great texture. The yogurt it came with was also wonderful. The yogurt drink was tangy, creamy, and filling. I finished the meal with baklava and turkish coffee. What a wondeful experience, I will be back.

As soon we walked in we were greeted by the owner. Sat us himself, brought us water and menus and told us the specials. The food was absolutely fantastic, we ordered 4 different dishes plus coffee and tea. All the food was brought at the same time, hot and fresh. Had a wonderful time, will definitely be dining here anytime I find myself in Philly.

Made a stop for dinner while visiting Philly, First of all the stuff were really friendly and professional so we had lamb, Lamb Chops, and meatballs. We really loved their food except the lamb chops btw... there was no seasoning at all we hope they gonna take a look after it…. but overall, the food was really delicious.

Service was excellent, the waiter was superb. I had the lamb chops, the lamb hummus and Kunafa. All were good. Prices are a bit on the higher side. Will come again if I’m ever back in Philly.

Food was excellent, and service was attentive and friendly. We started with lentil soup and börek, both were great, but the soup was my favorite. For entree , we ordered the lamb Adana kebab and Turkish grilled meatballs. Both were delicious, and the portions were generous. For dessert, we tried baklava and tea. Overall, we loved the quality of the food, the authentic flavors, and the cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend!
