I was pleasantly surprised coming into this establishment, at first I was a little bit unsure about the prices of some items but the portions that they give you for what you pay are so worth it, the wraps are huge and guaranteed to make you full. As well as the Turkish delights here are amazing and not overpowering, if you’re a big coffee person id also recommend the Turkish coffee. Overall the food combined with the total atmosphere of the place I would definitely recommend anyone around the santa cruz downtown area to come check this spot out. If you’re a fan of Turkish food then you need to come here!

The food was good and there was a variety of options to choose from. The wraps are 12″ which are quite filling, and come in a half and a whole option. Aside from that they offer boxes, sides and other main dishes, with beef/lamb and chicken being their main meats. The chicken wrap I got tasted great, with a mixed of vegetables, meat and fries.
The staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is unique and inviting.

After wandering past several food options, we decided on Arslans because it had shaded outdoor seating. The menu was on the smaller side and we weren’t sure what to expect. Once we got the hummus brought to our table, we knew we were in good hands. Some of the best hummus I’ve had in awhile! They served it in a container where extras could be taken home, but we finished it all and left no crumbs. I ordered the chicken dinner plate. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the chicken in my picture, it was so well seasoned as well as the rice. Made for a tasty and flavorful meal. They did miss the request by one of my party to leave off the yogurt dressing in their wrap, and it was beach town prices. Overall glad we happened upon Arslans and really enjoyed my meal.

We tried the beef wrap and the beef kebab plates, both came with garlic sauce and a yogurt-based sauce that paired perfectly with the smoky, juicy, and flavorful kebabs. The meat was well-seasoned and cooked just right, with a nice balance between tenderness and char.
For the price point, it was a hearty and satisfying meal that left us full and happy. We also tried their lentil-based soup and tea, both of which were excellent, comforting, flavorful, and a great complement to the main dishes.
The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, and the service was quick and efficient. Overall, a great spot for a delicious, filling meal at a reasonable price. Would definitely come back!

This place is so good it’s actually insane, the whole wrap is the size of your forearm for $17 which is great when you take into account it can easily feed two people. The half wrap is $11 and still a great size for one hungry person. The quality of the meat and the fresh salad inside is spectacular and the sauce is some of the best I’ve had! Staff is super nice and attentive and the place is cute and always clean. I would HIGHLY recommend you come try this place if you are looking for a good wrap and great food!

This place is super cute. There’s room to eat inside or outside on a quiet street in Santa Cruz. My husband had the donor wrap but half size which was plenty for him. I had the Istanbul salad with beef/lamb meat on top. I skipped the red cabbage. They even gave me extra dressing when I asked for it because I’m on keto at the moment. So the extra fat was necessary The sauces are super tasty! The Turkish coffee is very nice too

A friend and I went here today for lunch to celebrate her birthday and had the best experience. The food was fantastic and really reasonably priced. The man working there was extremely friendly and kind as well. When he overheard us discussing her birthday he brought us baklava to celebrate and we were very touched. This was my first time here and I will definitely be back, 10/10 experience!

Three of us had lunch on a Sunday. This is counter service. There was no wait when we arrived. The menus is small The food has an interesting take and is unusual. We were offered tastes for which they get big points. We enjoyed our meal. The prices are fair so we felt comfortable trying food with the understanding that the food is unique. Some dishes were better than others. I wasn’t fond of the soup. The Turkish delight was really good.

This Mediterrean place offers a variety of mid eastern foods, with almost everything available as a wrap or platter. We enjoyed doner wrap, hummus dotted with paprika and fresh pita, several orders of falafels, salads, and delicious lentil soup. All delicious. We topped it off with 2 hand crafted Turkish delight, the rose and chocolate gluten fre and the pistachio sugar free LIKY offered friendly efficient service

Nice halal restaurant in Santa Cruz, especially since there’s few options in the area.
