| - This Turkish restaurant in the heart of Overlea is intriguing from the outside. Modern art on the windows, traditional art inside, a nice seating area and professionally dressed servers. However, our experience tonight had good elements and not so great elements that really left us with mixed reviews.
They have a varied menu with many traditional meat options. Their drink selection is primarily Turkish specialties and a few types of pop. Considering I hate anything carbonated, I ended up just drinking water and a glass of Turkish tea (which they supply free of charge). Personally, I quite enjoyed the tea and should have ordered it earlier; however, my dad thought the taste of the tea was relatively bitter-sweet (literally) and was not bowled over by the experience.
For our mains, we both ordered house/restaurant specialties. I ordered the sautéed vegetables with chicken. The dish overall was quite good except I felt the chicken was dry and tasteless. My dad had their lamb beyti and quite enjoyed it.
For the majority of the meal, servers were very attentive and courteous; however, when it came time to pay for our meal, all the servers disappeared. It took us 20-30 minutes to find and call over a server to get the bill for us.
Overall, I highly doubt I will return to this location; however, there was nothing significantly wrong with our experience. It just didn't 'wow' us.
