This place was a surprise in a good way.
Food was great. All 3 mezze we tried were good. Branzino was fresh. Server forgot to bring salt and pepper, so it was bland. But that made me sure that the fish was fresh and tasty. Lamb was succulent without gamie odor.
Servers were friendly. There was a big birthday party going on, so they were less attentive but understandable. One thing to point out was that a server was cleaning the floor with a broom after the big group left. It’s nice that they clean right away, but got me worried whether dust would fall on my food.
Overall I would visit again.

We came with a group of six without a reservation. Would recommend to call before. We had to wait for 45 minutes to be seated. The food was great, ordered the donair plate. The staff was nice and friendly.
Would come again!

It is the best restaurant in town. Authentic, delicious, and tasty. Great service and great team. They have the best baklava I’ve ever had. I had two chocolate baklava with pistachios, which is incredible and unique.

We had a wonderful experience at this Turkish restaurant! The food was incredibly authentic—truly a taste of Turkey. The Iskender was hands down the best I’ve had in the U.S.—rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The Adana Kebab was also outstanding, full of bold spices and grilled to perfection. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Turkish cuisine!

Extremely warm and inviting staff, it feels like you’re eating in their home kitchen with the level of authenticity and friendliness. The food is so fresh and prepared perfectly. You can try something new or enjoy more familiar dishes, there’s something for everybody. The restaurant is clean and charming with top-tier service. I can’t wait to go back a million times.

Delicious authentic food made right. Even though reservations are required, the kind wait staff served us an outstanding meal! Loved the three cold dips on the fresh made pita bread. All the entrees we tried were excellent. Baklava was so good to top it all off!

Food was excellent! Service was good, dining room a bit small and crowded. Is worth it, I will be back again, we had a very nice time.

A nice addition to the restaurant scene in the Gulf Gate area. Food is great and likewise the service. My daughter raved about it and it’s the best food she has eaten in Sarasota so far. My family went here for my Father’s Day celebration and I thoroughly enjoyed my lamb chops. The grilled Octopus was done just right. No food allergy reaction for my daughters which is always a big deal. Wished the beer selection was broader, but the great food more than made up for that.

First time, and what an excellent lunch. The food, service, and atmosphere were all amazing. This is a must try restaurant if you love Turkish or Middle Eastern food in general. Everything, and I mean everything, was perfect. I would say I am a bit of a snob when it comes to Babaganoush, and wow, this did not disappoint. Please, please, please, if you have not tried this restaurant, do it… you will be happy you did.
