This place is great, but was to come back to do more shareable. Staff very nice and helpful. Food ready super fast. Love all the flavor and filled me up. Turkish coffee with pistachio is good (didn't expect pieces of pistachio in at first). Dessert was super light with fun mixture of textures. Not super busy during late lunch
Food was good, especially appetizers. Very good vegetarian/ vegan options. The host was really kind and helpful in explaining the menu. If you like coffee, I will recommend you to try their Turkish coffee; I personally enjoyed it.
This place never disappoints! It has some cute decor and oh so delicious food. Tried their specialty Turkish coffee and loved it- wish they had a bigger version of it though! Their Falafels are one of the best that I’ve had and are cooked to perfection. My friends ordered chicken and lamb entrees and were pleased with it. Do try their chocolate baklava- it has the perfect sweetness and texture!
My favorite Turkish restaurant in the Seattle area. The Turkish coffee is very good, lamb & chicken plates are great and so is the baklava!
The staff is very friendly.
The restaurant has lots of room for parties that forget to make reservations.
Highly recommend!
This place serves authentic Turkish cuisine packed with flavors hard to resist. We had the Muhammara which was lip-smacking, the pita served with it felt old though. We had the Green Green Manti and Ali Nazik with fire. The former was flavorful with small spinach dumplings in chickpeas. The portion size was small for the price though. The latter tasted great as well with extra couple of dollars for the fire (?). They were out of specialty Turkish coffee so we had the cardamom Turkish coffee with date dolmas. The coffee was good but the dolmas were alright. I’ll definitely be visiting again to try some other options on their menu.
The service was excellent. The food i tried was very good, finger burek and the lamb/beef kabob. The reasons i did not give 5 stars - i find it very pricy and the kataif desert was very hard. I have tried Turkish cuisine in many places and i have a good understanding what the texture should be. I could barely slice it with a knife. The kabob was a single piece of meat with cup of rice and generic salad - $27. The finger burek was $12. Again, they were delicious but i feel like they should cost half of this price
Came across several Turkish places in Seattle. One, which is not to be named, turned out to be a scam, a place Turkish people call “Mezze”. Avoid it like a plague.
This one, on the other hand, is absolutely legit. The service was amazing. Zalina was extremely helpful and brought our food very quickly. Not only is the food incredibly tasty, but it is very authentic and not some Turkish wannabe. The cooks are Turkish, servers are Turkish, Ayran is home made (and delicious), pides have real Turkish cheese… I could go on and on. I’m saving this place in my “Favorites”, and I suggest you do the same.
Will be coming back, many times over.
PS, they have a Masjid where you can pray as well. Obviously, all meats are halal.
Nothing like their Bird’s Nest 🤌
I tried their minced chicken kebab and my husband had the lamb kebab. Chicken was juicy and very flavorful but felt that lamb was a little bland for our taste and could have taken some additional spices.
The food was rollercoaster as we didn't like the hummus platter at all, but pita breads were hot and soft. But thier chicken sharwma plate was really good. It's the most softest chicken and we'll marinated chicken I have ever had. Then to the desserts, the Halwa was worstc and they didn't not have more than half of things listed. Hence overall experience was down then up and then down again.
Loved Cafe Turko, the food was awesome. The service was friendly & fast! Make sure to get your dessert, tea, and Turkish coffee---not to be missed.
Great food and vibe! Had the ali nazik and the lamb was juicy, flavourful, and cooked to perfection! Also tried the green hummus and it was great! Could have used more pita bread to go with it. Restaurant is so uniquely decorated and fun.
The food is delicious. We had the falafel salad, pistachio kebab and lamb pizza.
The quality of the meat, freshness of the salad and the flavours were all on point.
The service is a little slow cz it’s crowded. Otherwise it’s a great restaurant to try Turkish food.
Came here for dinner, it was a great experience!
While a bit pricey, this place has great flavors and the ambiance is very pleasant.
We tried the Ali Nazik with Chicken, with the Yam Hummus and Dolmas.
I haven’t had a lot of Turkish food before but overall I was really impressed.
The Yam Hummus was creamy and tasty with good portion size.
The Dolmas had really good flavor as well and were well cooked. I’d never had Dolmas before but they had a nice texture and the rice and sauce added some nice spices.
Finally, the Ali Nazik had really tasty yogurt and the eggplant sauce and seasonings were unique. The salad too was delicious and tasted very fresh.
Service was good, although a bit slow, but the restaurant was packed. Really enjoyed the experience, definitely stop by!
This place is great! Atmosphere is cool and staff is also friendly. The food is absolutely amazing, everything we ate was delicious. They have vegan and Gluten free options also.
Serves "The Ottoman Cuisine" with elements from Central Asian, Caucassian, Middle Eastern and Balkan Cuisines.
Best thing i have ever eat. i am vegetarian and i don’t have lot options outside but this place is cool. i love that place and vibe. 🕶️
Amazing dine in! Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Friendly staff. Authentic Turkish cuisine. Our family loved all the items we ordered. Falaffel my way wrap was super delicious. We also loved Gypsy’s yahni and Beyti with eggplant. We tried Revani dessert. It was good but was little dry and crumble. We will definitely visit again. Parking is difficult especially during weekends.
