They claim to be turkish restaurant with lots of different tukish items on the menu. Owner is a very nice egyptian guy, who goes all the way to please his customers. Great service with solid food. Salads as well as appetizers are pretty good. Kebobs are also great. Unfortunately lacking on fish and seafood. More

We found this place right here on tripadviser and we were not disappointed. The food, service and atmosphere were wonderful. This is a byob, which helps keep the price down. Price for two with appetizer and desert with Turkish coffee was under $50. Restaurant has a small parking lot and plenty of on street parking. Very attentive staff- the owner... More

It might have been a better experience had we gotten off to a better start. We had a reservation for five people at 7:00PM, but when we got there we couldn't get in the door. The tiny entrance area was packed with people, and the staff couldn't handle it. Most of the crowd did not have reservations, at least the... More

The restaurant itself was nice. Eating area clean (But the bathroom not so much. The one bathroom that was working was used by both genders . Can you say ewww). Nice family atmosphere, but not for a romantic night out. For some reason it felt as if they had the AC on (This was Nov in NJ ??) and we... More

Ate here for the first time yesterday. Loved it! Had a wonderful Shepards salad, wonderful lentil soup, and an AWESOME eggplant vegetarian dish/rice w/veggies. The flavors were wonderful. Nice decor inside~I kept staring at the painted ceiling which is a map of the world and the unusual hot air ballon fixtures hanging from the ceiling. Tastefully done. Service was friendly... More

We were there to celebrate Father's day. The restaurant was full with a party going on downstairs but we were seated promptly upstairs where there were a few other families eating lunch. The waitress that served us was excellent and was constantly running up and down the stairs between the table and the kitchen. She also made some great suggestions... More

If you are looking for something different to eat - this is a good place to go. Mediterranean food is not so easy to find, and they do a good job here. The atmosphere is a bit on noisy side, and I got the sense that they tend to move-them-in-and-move-them-out. It is not a place to plan to spend a... More
