"We believe in serving truly authentic Turkish cuisine, using the most authentic ingredients available. To accomplish this, we import the majority of our ingredients directly from Turkey and create all our dishes from scratch. Chef Veli Cetin, our Head Chef since 2013, has over twenty years experience cooking professionally throughout Turkey. With his and our experience, we have brought you flavors that will whisk you away to a far off land." ~ Owners, Hasan, Vural, & Jackie Oktay

My mouth is watering just thinking of the meal we had. Kebabs, with Kunefe for dessert. The waitstaff is so friendly -- they seem happy to be there, and so was I!

Our food was delicious. However, we had a reservation, and were first seated upstairs, as the downstairs was full. We were the only people upstairs, and after a good 5 minutes of no attention, my husband went downstairs to check. We were then able to be seated downstairs. We waited again, ordered wine and dinner, and waited again. The wine came with our dinner, not what we were expecting (we enjoy sipping our wine while we wait for our order). The server seemed to recognize the error when our food was served, and stated he thought we would have wanted our wine with our food. Not sure how soon we will go again.

Fabulous feel, food and service. Perfect meal on a snowy winter night. Everything was a hit! Ordered large mezze platter for 5 and each had entrees. Two went home with leftovers. Will go back again!

Love the food, quality is great and the family members are so kind. The wine they import themselves is delicious. So appreciate the chance to have middle eastern food and flavors in Burlington!
