Very ordinary Turkish food. The atmosphere and experience though is nice but I couldn't get over how ordinary the food was.
We had the Turkish bread garlic bread and it was very plain. Could hardly taste any garlic.
We had a mixture of mains. The lamb salad was very chewy, the lamb shanks were cooked nicely but the sauce was very bland and we also had a turkish casserole which was also very bland! I personally had the casserole and was very disappointed. I get really annoyed when I order something and could have Easily made better at home and that's exactly what I felt about this whole dinner.
The desserts were the best party of the evening. I had the Baklava which is very hard to get wrong in a Turkish restaurant and thought they were nice even though they'd been slightly overcooked.
Also - beware of this restaurant if you had nut alergies as they put pistachio pieces of all the desserts so we had to get 2 sent back because 2 friends are allergic to nuts!

Approximate cost: $25

Awesome, awesome food-we dined there for lunch and had to take the kids along too. Was glad they were able to offer a bit of a kids menu. It was a really lovely atmosphere and the food was divine. I think we are all going back there.
