Customer Reviews

Real turkish taste. I been to many shwarma and gyro restaurants in seattle, but this restaurant is one of the best, or number one in shwarma sandwich. The good thing is that the food (meat and vegie is fresh). The owner of the restaurant and his wife are very nice people and very respectful. I went to this restaurant with my family , and we love it. Thank you for your service 🙏

The lamb and beef was clearly just that. It was fresh and clearly made with quality ingredients. The plate was served with white rice, a pile of lettuce, tomato, and onions. It was a decent amount of food although it is a little pricey but you are paying for quality and location. The food came out quickly and it was hot. The tzatziki was good and served with a hot sauce that was like an herbier Tabasco.

This is a delicious spot in Kirkland for Turkish food! Came here for lunch on a Sunday and it was pretty packed, but we easily found seats. The owner and employees were super friendly, the food probably took about 15-20 minutes to be ready, and tasted amazing. The Turkey sandwich tasted so much better than it looked, probably the best Turkey deli meat I’ve tried. The iskender kabab was meat with tomato sauce, and it was also flavorful. The pide’s dough was soft, you can definitely tell it was baked fresh. Can’t wait to go back and try other dishes!

A small restaurant run by a nice couple. From the taste of the food, it was evident how fresh the ingredients were, including their homemade hot sauce and homemade yogurt. We got the iskender kebab plate (pictured), turkish coffee (not pictured), and kunefe (pictured). Everything was up to an amazing standard and tasted delicious. Will definitely be going back.

Love this place. Have come here regularly for years. The dinner is excellent and authentic. And the little square of cake with cocoa and coconut on it is TO DIE FOR. Really sweet couple who own/ run it and do the cooking. A fabulous mom&pop place.

Parents:: don’t sleep on this place. Getting my kids a chicken plate and lentil soup makes for an easy healthy lunch that can feed a few on one order. It comes with chicken, rice or bulgur, a salad and some pita. My kid goes nuts for the lentil soup too. Otherwise, this is a wonderful restaurant in downtown Kirkland with good indoor and outdoor seating, the owners clearly take pride in their food and its origin. Lots of great options, quick friendly service and reasonably priced.
