    Food was delicious. We went to Istanbul recently and food is even better in this restaurant. The service was perfect. Everyone was professional and friendly. Love the exotic atmosphere under the huge tree.

    Our food was just delicious - we shared El Turco salad (yummy) and Cacik. I had shrimp casserole and the spices were just so tasty!!! Finished the meal with Turkish coffeee, which I loved (and usually do not drink at night but, like, just HAD to do it. Our server Yessie was delightful and very attentive, she brought everything in a timely manner.

    Amazing atmosphere meets great food. We had a wonderful time. Had the best traditional Turkish breakfast you can find in south Florida. The Manager Umit and our waitress Maya where very attentive look foward to coming back for many years.

    My experience at the Turkish restaurant was absolutely dreadful— the food was a little undercooked and tasteless, with the Donar being dry and had to wait for sauce for 15 minutes. Definitely doesn’t live up to the hype and I think it’s influencers who don’t have experience eating fine things in life causing the hype.
