This place is great for breakfast or coffee. I brought my students there for breakfast and everybody was happy. The service is fast and friendly. Prices are very reasonable and omelets portions are large enough to fill you till lunch. Their Turkish tea and coffee are great also.
Great place to have dinner with a group. Plenty of seating arrangements with live Turkish music in the background. The food was amazing and the service was fast and friendly
All of the food was seasoned perfectly, and tasted terrific. Service was not the best, we waited about 15 minutes before asking if anyone was going to see us. We never actually saw the waitress we were supposed to have but the rest of the staff was nice and accommodating which is all I really care about. All of the savory food was beautifully seasoned, nothing was greasy or overpowering. The mango ripieno was just the right consistency (a lot of other places leave them frozen solid which makes it a pain to enjoy) where it was cold yet firm, the chocolate pudding was very tasty as well. The turkish tea and coffee were nice, I didn't taste anything that special with the tea, but it did pair nicely with all of the sweet treats they have. The igloo was actually very warm. It was 30 degrees Fahrenheit and raining and I was able to have my jacket off. Overall they have very good sweet and savory foods, truly some of the best seasoned food I've had in a long time, which I love. The traditional Turkish foods like the menemen and gozleme were great, as well as more mainstream American options like the chicken burger were done very well. Although the service was shaky, the range of tasteful foods and drinks made this a 5, I'm excited to come back again in the future.
Excellent service. Food is delicious and fresh. Thr restaurant itself is large, parking was a bit difficult though, but worth it. Keep in mind there are 2 locations. a block apart.
Great service, and great food. This is one of my favorite places to hang out with friends and family. They have some amazing variety of desert selections which goes very well with their Turkish tea.
One of the best halal spots I have been and has become my favorite place to go to. The food is unbelievable good. The potato kinish is amazing. The setting is pretty reasonable. The prices are very fair compare to other expensive places. I have to give it a 5 star. The staff is very friendly. You can’t say anything bad about it to be honest
I loved it. The service was amazing, it was beyond perfect. We came here for my sister's 16th birthday and they lit up a candle on her order, a chocolate waffle with fruit, berries, chocolate sauce and a vanilla ice cream. It was so sweet. And they were so kind of my baby sis who ordered a chocolate cake, she got her oder first and it was so sweet. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a good dessert, and pasta. Their pasta was really good too, but I would say their Turkish dishes are the best, obviously. But I loved this place, it was pretty good.
Good Food. I recommend to try traditional Uyghur dish — Laghman(made with hand stretched noodles). Best I tried in New York! Rumor says Marco Polo was so impressed with that dish, that he brought it to Italy and now we know Spaghetti. Prices are good, portions are big.
