We wanted to try something new and different. We found a place that offered traditional, homemade Turkish cuisine, which is close to Mediterranean.
I ordered the Beef Shish Kabob and my dining companion had the Gyro Plate. Both dishes came with rice and salad (with traditional Greek dressing). We ordered from the Lunch Specials, available Monday - Friday. The food was tasty and flavorful.
Situated in an old house on Washington Street off Magnolia, it's located in the Fairmount District (aka the Medical District). The decor says "Turkish & Mediterranean". Each table has a unique, Turkish table cloth. They were beautiful and added to the charm of the restaurant. Warm wooden floors and walls provided an atmosphere of authenticity and coziness.
Our server, George, was knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. The service was perfect and gracious.
Our first visit, but we enjoyed everything -- food, decor, ambiance, and service. We will be back!
For dessert, try one of the three different flavors of baklava. We had the pistachio, which had 4 pieces. It was scrumptious.
The unisex restroom was very clean and well stocked.
P.S. The baklava was devine!
