    Truly the best Turkish restaurant in the DMV! If you don't like the food you don't like authentic Turkish homemade food. Seriously, a must try, you will not be disappointed! And the service is awesome - give them a try!! Just learned it's under new ownership too, so if you tried previously, time to reevaluate!

    The food was very tasty and it was close to the parking lot. The waiters were very pleasant, especially the lady waiter, the management was very good and the food arrived on time.

    This place is under new management and the food is to die for. Chef Kadir is an expert in preparing the meat. His doner (gyro) platter is amazing. Baklava is house made and is to die for. Lahmacun as a starter is a generous portion and is full of flavor. Highly recommend this place. Attentive staff

    I came here for lunch and I must say that I absolutely loved the service and food here. I ordered a chicken wrap, it was warm and the chicken was juicy and tender. The french fries that came together were crispy and omg the sauce that came with it was so yummy, that I had to ask for it twice. Also the blonde girl basak was soo friendly, she kept asking me if i needed anything more and she was very cooperative and because it was my first time trying turkish food she explained the menu very well and also gave me some items to try so I could choose a better option. Overall the staff is so cooperative and helpful as well, the pay attention to all customers equally. Lastly I was treated with turkish coffee as a complement and baklava which is a turkish dessert, which was the best Ive ever had in the whole united states. I cannot wait to visit here again with my friends as well.
