An incredible restaurant serving authentic Turkish cuisine, with a weekend brunch that’s not only delicious but rivals what you’d find in Turkey. Feride, the talented brunch chef, creates baked goods that are truly one of a kind.

We had an incredible birthday dinner. We’ve been coming for 13 years and the food is always great, but was especially delicious tonight. The servers were friendly and attentive. The skewers are so tender and well seasoned. It’s a great spot to celebrate a special occasion or really any night.

I'm glad that BJ's does reservations now via OpenTable. Checked in at the front desk and the host showed us to the table that was already setup. Service was good and food quality was consistent as it has been there for over 20 years.

We were promptly greeted and seated. Staff were attentive and helpful. Only hiccup was when we scanned the QR code to pay-unsuccessful after three attempts so our server completed the transaction in the customary manner.
