    The atmosphere is contemporary and beautiful, the service was excellent, the Thanksgiving meal had delicious choices for meat, fish, and vegetarian, and was price fixed for appetizers-dessert. Drinks were very good as well. The background music was relaxing. Had a very nice time and will go back again!

    Make a work function reservation for noon on a Wednesday before Thanksgiving. We were seated promptly. Service was good. Appetizer and entrees were delicious. I ordered the combo kebab. At first, I was worried that the chicken would be tough to eat but was surprised by the tender and flavorful meat! The mansef always has a nice presentation. So much food and we had to take doggie bags home.

    Meyhouse Palo Alto is an excellent restaurant for Turkish Mediterranean food. The food was really exceptional. They make their own delicious creamy yogurt which they use in dishes. So if you enjoy yogurt, you will love this place and they have unique salads and excellent fish on the menu. The food is super healthy and delicious. I definitely want to go back for more. They have a full bar and excellent Turkish wines. The restaurant is also nicely designed. But it can get a little noisy in some places where there might be larger groups.
