The food was fresh and delicious. The prices are reasonable for north Arlington and the service was very attentive--we were among the few customers there for lunch on a Friday.

Another great experience at this restaurant. Phenomenal food. A neighborhood gem, so very seldom crowded, which I love. But the food is the star of the show, and next in line is the service!! Will definitely dine here again!

The dining experience was absolutely phenomenal! The food was incredibly delicious — from the soup to the variety of appetizers to the entrees, everything was simply fabulous. The Turkish wine was also excellent, complementing the meal perfectly. It was an ideal spot for my luncheon with my very good friend, with generous portions that even allowed us to bring food home. I didn't know that healthy could be so good!! Service was top-notch; the young man who greeted us, fixed our drinks and served us was nice and attentive. The owner even came over and greeted us. As someone known as the 'foodie' among my friends, I can confidently say I would love to return, and I highly recommend this place to others.

Our party of four shared two entrées, two desserts, and a number of appetizers, including the spreads trio, the brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and zucchini cakes. We had lamb and beef kebabs. Everything was spectacularly delicious. Service was attentive, but not intrusive. Desserts and Turkish coffee made a wonderful end to a great evening. We will be back very soon.

Lunch with an elder relative, we ordered one falafel wrap and one adana wrap, both with side salads. All wrap and salad veggies were fresh, and food was plated well. My relative enjoyed the falafel but needed hot sauce on the side for added flavor (he asked, they gave.) The meat in my adana wrap was tasty but also could have used a bit more spice. Service was very good; the lovely waitress was attentive and pleasant.
