Recently visited for the first time prompted by my clients recommendation. Waitress was charming and the food was fresh and delicious. The lamb in cubes, which was a first for me, tasted better than steak. My fb urged me to try it and when I finally succumbed I found to be outstanding.

I ordered the takeout from the Grubhub for the HOOP5 deal, and to my surprise, the calamari was the best thing Ive ever had. Would recommend it.

A lovely Turkish food place that recently opened in town. So far we have almost tried all their dishes, their appetizers mixed platters are great and I believe they have the most delicious Donor Giro I ever tried in a Turkish restaurant in over 20 years.
