It was quite bustling on a Friday evening for dinner! There was a bit of a wait to get in.
Interior has been recently renovated with exposed brick and dark interior. So not at all what you'd expect from the area! There is even an actual wood burning stove in their open kitchen. You can see men rolling out dough for pides (Turkish pizzas).
Service, not sure if it's due to a language barrier / busyness, could've been a bit more attentive. Asked for water and knife and didn't receive either, but we made due. However, the man making the pides did ask how everything was when we were walking out, so I think they DO care. Just don't expect too much.
We ordered: Chicken Shish ($14) & Urfa Kebabs ($13). Grilled meats were done just right, tender and moist, not dried out like some places. Salad was fresh and dressing was just enough!
My only complaint about the food was that some elements were plated beforehand, e.g. slices of pita underneath meat and bulgur, were colder than room temp. Pita pieces were chewy as opposed to fresh and soft. I did tell the Pide-man about the temperature of the bulgur. Again, it was tasty, but just not warm enough.
If they worked a bit more on their cs and temperature, it would be a complete 5*s.
Based on the patrons, this place seemed very authentic!
