A chef-driven paradise wrapped in a small neighborhood vibe. Ada’s has been a staple in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood for years.

With a completely revised menu of American classics prepared with a European flair alongside Chef Ayhan’s native Turkish favorites, your senses will thank you!

We are firm believers that the freshest ingredients create the best dishes, and that things that grow together, go together. So, in keeping with that mantra, we pride ourselves on using as many local purveyors as possible to best keep our dishes in line with the true spirit of the finest cuisine the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

My family and I had a fantastic experience at Ada's. This was my first visit and I will absolutely be returning. My initial draw was the Beef Manti, which was a dish I loved when traveling in Turkey years and years ago. We enjoyed the muhammara, Greek fries, the Turkish Shephard's Choban salad, the beef manti (as delicious as I hoped!), eggplant stuffed with ground beef, and a more Italian style dish of chicken in a mushroom cream sauce. We also tried 3 desserts: the baklava, the rice pudding, and the poached pear. All were fantastic and presented a great variety of textures and flavors to share among a group. The ambience was warm and cozy for a cold fall evening and it wasn't overly loud in the restaurant (some background music at a reasonable volume). Tips/Notes: I thought the portions were enormous. 2 of us could've split one order of the Beef Manti. The salad was plenty to share. Every single person in our group had about 50% of their meal to take home. You'll enjoy the value if you have a big appetite, but otherwise would recommend starting with a few dishes to share and adding more as you go. We were seated at a high top table which I was initially worried about because they can be really uncomfortable. Thankfully the chairs / available foot rests made the seating quite comfortable, but I recommend you request a regular table as needed based on your party's physical needs/comfort.

Six of us gathered at Ada's for a lovely dinner of all kinds of delicious dishes, ranging from eggplant, to pistachio raviolis to beef entrees. The beet/orange salad was really great as was the backlava to top off the evening. We plan to go back!

As always the food is fabulous! We took friends here for the first time and they loved it. I was so happy to see the place full. Maybe because of restaurant week which I didn’t know about! Regardless it’s one of the best yummy restaurants in Seattle. Good food for the price!

Ada's is a neighborhood gem. The space is welcoming, balancing casual with touches of upscale dining. The service is attentive and friendly. The food is presented with the same care as it is prepared and tastes so good. I enjoyed the recommended tenderloin kebab, ordered rare, which came presented on a wooden handled skewer, fire roasted tomato and jalapeno, a delicately dressed salad, jasmine rice, and a whipped yogurt on pita. The staff assisted with skewer removal. The beef was perfect and paired so well in taste and texture with the set. Other diners in our party enjoyed this plate, beef also perfectly cooked to their preference, and risotto. All expressed delight and satisfaction with their meal. Last, the offerings and attention for the kids are excellent, too.
