Urfa is a city in Southeastern Turkey, deeply rooted in history, so its unique cuisine is an amalgamation of the cuisines of the many civilizations that have ruled in Urfa. Dishes carry names in Kurdish, Arabic, Armenian, Syrian, and Turkish, and are often prepared in a spicy manner. It is widely believed that Urfa is the birthplace of many dishes, including Raw Kibbé (Çiğ Köfte), which according to the legend, was crafted by the Prophet Abraham from ingredients he had at hand.

Many vegetables are used in the Urfa cuisine, such as the "Ecır," the "Kenger," and the "İsot", the legendary local red capsicum that is a smaller and darker.
Urfa is a big user of clarified butter, made exclusively from sheep's milk.
At Urfa bistro we will try our best to use local products to create dishes as same as prepared in Urfa.

    Great table service and advice for meal selection; the meal was outstanding. Try the house made Kunefe for desert, you will not be sorry.

    Everyone in my party of four enjoyed their food very much. Two are vegetarians and one is gluten-free and everyone had plenty of choices for what to eat.

    Service was exceptionally attentive. Four of us ordered several dishes to share. The waiter actually asked the kitchen to give us an extra lamb rib so that there would be enough to go around! The spanakopitas were my favorite.

    Great food. We had the lamb chops and the lamb sautée. The lamb sautee was cooked so well. The lamb was so soft, not hard or chewy. The appetizer platter was a great starter. Excellent outdoor seating is also available..

    This is a hidden jewel of a restaurant in Los Altos!! Delicious food and FANTASTIC service. You can always tell an “owner managed” place because everyone seems to pay attention to the little details. This place offers great outdoor dining options and a larger space inside for larger gatherings. We had an assortment of appetizers which filled us up enough where we couldn’t make it to the entrees but everything we had was spectacular!! Will go back again for the entree la and desserts next time!!
