Cozy place, romantic. Delicious coffee + baklava. The staff is polite and attentive, sociable. One minus, a large percentage of tips. Overall, I recommend.

Original post 2023 - Not only is the food delicious and fairly authentic, but the staff is amazing, personable, attentive, and kind. On this last visit there was no outside seating due to the rain (which is where I usual prefer to sit), but the inside was perfectly good as well. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend this restaurant for a good, hearty meal. Update March 2025: I continue to go here (6yrs now) whenever I'm in the area. The food continues to be great. On this last visit I had the labne (Silky cheese dip crowned with olive oil, mint, and olives.), the döner beyti (Beef or Chicken Döner in lavash, with cheese, herbs, and Mediterranean sauce, served with yogurt.), the künefe (Cheese arranged between two layers of Kadayıf (shredded phyllo), cooked until golden, and soaked in a sweet syrup.), and traditional Turkish tea. It was all great! Reminds me of my trips to Turkey which is great nostalgia. Highly recommend you stop by and enjoy their food and service, and support a long-standing local business.
