| - This place is simply amazing. Everything from the hospitality (our waitress' name was Maya), the food, the fact that it is BYOB, and possibly one of the nicest restaurant owners I've ever met (Adnan aka Hilton). We had a group of 7 on a Saturday night, and although the restaurant seemed absolutely packed, they were able to seat us within 15-20 minutes, and all of our food/drinks were received in a very reasonable amount of time. The best dishes amongst the group were the hummus, the chicken kofte, the adana kebab, and the branzino. One tip - if you order the falafel appetizer, ask for the white yogurt sauce to supplement it. After our meal, Adnan came over and asked if we wanted dessert, but were stuffed and politely declined. However, he insisted and gave us 2 orders of baklava on the house, because he just wanted us to try it. I've had many baklavas so far, however, these were one of the best. The flakiness, the juice, the flavors - all amazing. To top it all off, Hilton then gave all of us a free "I love Istanbul" t-shirt and said, "Many of our customers come back in the summer wearing these t-shirts!" Expect us to be back, Adnan. Thank you for a great evening.
