When you walk through the shadowed glass doors of Talulla's, an instant transformation begins to occur. Your mind and body begin to relax. Your ears pick up on the eclectic mix of music. Your eyes wonder around the walls, decorated in Turkish rugs; then the ceilings, scattered with warm, unique lighting pieces; then the floors... the dark, hardwood floors; and finally, across the plush seating areas, disguised by cushions and pillows and fabric leisurely draped around the frames.

    The lamb shank and branzino and hummus were all amazing. We also really loved the baklava. Great service and always a lovely evening.

    Incredible food and beautiful restaurant! We made a meal of apps and a bottle of wine and brought baklava home for dessert. It was exactly what we were hoping for. Service was outstanding!

    We have visited a few times and have been lucky to have the same waiter, who provides excellent service! The food was delicious and the ambiance is very relaxed.
