Potentially the best restaurant in Redwood City? 10/10 Delicious food and kind people, no notes. Must get: beef kabab, mezze platter with hummus, but everything is amazing you can’t go wrong.

It felt like I was having lunch at a Turkish friends house. Hasan welcomed us in turkish and explained how to best enjoy each dish. You place the salad inside the Lahmacun and eat it like a pita. Will be coming back again.

Amazing food! My wife and I got the baba ghanoush, hummus, dolma, and white bean appetizer spread. They were all delicious, and our order came with a few extra spreads than what we ordered. The falafel are delicious, the lamb kebab was amazing, and the nomadic pide was excellent. We will definitely be back.

I Always have such a pleasant experience visiting here. I love coming here for brunch. Start with their amazing mezze platter. Comes with a range of different dips and salad. So many unique flavors and ingredients! Comes with a bread basket. The lahmacun was another favorite, comes with a side of salad. We also tried a few of the pides. All dishes are easily shareable, we had it all family style. The waiters and owner are always so welcoming. Don’t forgot to order a cup of tea to complement your delicious meal!

Great Turkish food! I love the beef and onion pide (kinda like Chinese samsa or stuffed pie), and it’s cooked to the perfectly balanced texture and taste! Lentil soup is also the first time I got impressed with this kind of soup. The hint of mint added real special flavor I guess. The hosts and the owner are all very friendly and offered us samples of the appetizers. We’ve been back to this place multiple times since we discovered this hidden gem

Absolutely run—don’t walk—to this gem of a restaurant! If you’ve ever longed for the true taste of Turkey, this is it. The moment you walk in, you're transported straight to a cozy eatery in Istanbul or a seaside town in the Aegean. The meze plate alone is worth the trip—vibrant, fresh, bursting with flavor, and served with pide bread so authentic and perfectly baked, you’ll want to cry tears of joy. But wait—you must try the Karadeniz pide. It's next level. I’ve had pide across Turkey, and dare I say—even in the Black Sea region—it wasn’t this good. This chef is a master. No shortcuts. Everything is crafted with passion, precision, and pride. And don’t leave without experiencing katmer—crisp, buttery, pistachio-loaded heaven—and washing it all down with a steaming glass of Turkish tea or the bold richness of Turkish coffee served just right. The owner and team are incredibly welcoming, with warm smiles and lightning-fast service. Honestly, this place is a treasure. We’re coming back every chance we get—and you should too. HIGHLY recommend!

Super tasty food and amazing service!! The mezze with the house bread is unbelievable. My favorites from the mezze were the pink lady (red cabbage labneh) and the cucumbers which were pickled in a bit of pomegranate molasses. The kunefe for dessert was also rich and delicious. Will definitely be back!

Amazing food. We tried meme platter and each meze was better than the next. We also got two pides and they were likely the best dishes on the menu. The kebabs were also tasty, kofte was well prepared and tasty. The staff is also amazingly nice and attentive.
