A Noe Valley Gem! The most dedicated service you will find. Staff is always accommodating, in happy spirits and so proud of what they serve. The plates are delicious, with exciting flavors and great combination of Turkish cuisine. The manti dumplings are a win especially for my 5yr old. We love the salads, the kebabs and the lamb, to name a few. Great wine selection also! And Lots of options for vegetarians too.

I’m very sorry the Turkish breakfast is no more. We enjoyed our meal (the food is always very good) but were disappointed to see the item was removed from the menu.
