  • I love Turkish food and was excited to try this quaint, family-owned restaurant nestled on Ellsworth Ave in Shadyside. The dining area is beautifully decorated and they also have an adorable outdoor space in which it would be lovely to enjoy a meal on a nice day (it was a tad chilly when we went, so we opted to dine indoors). There was one waitress and while she was a little stoic in demeanor, she was perfectly polite and very attentive. We started with the pilaki appetizer, which were pinto beans, tomatoes, onions and garlic with olive oil. It was served with a round of pita bread. It was really delicious! The beans were cooked to perfection and very flavorful. The pita bread was probably the best I've ever had...the perfect level of soft and fluffy. I wish they would've given more than one pita round though, as we had a lot of extra pilaki and would have liked to have eaten it with more bread (and especially considering the price, it seems like they can spare more than one pita round). For dinner, my husband ordered the doner (gyro) kabob, which was sliced pieces of lamb served with white rice and cacik (yogurt sauce). He reported that the meat was tender and well-seasoned and the cacik was a perfect complement to his meal. For myself, I got the chicken kabob with rice and bulgur pilaf (subbed for fries, which seems like an odd side dish to serve with Turkish food). The chicken was very flavorful, although a bit dry. The portion of rice and bulgur were very generous, but a bit bland (rice, of course, is usually bland, but I had higher hopes for the pilaf). I stole a bit of my husband's cacik and mixed it into my meal, and it improved the flavor tremendously. Next time I'll order some of my own. Overall, the food is made fresh and it's much healthier than traditional restaurant offerings, and I'm a fan of that. However, in terms of taste, it was a mixed bag. And prices are high. Considering all of that, I'd say it was a 3.5 star meal. I'd definitely return at some point, but it's not somewhere that I'm going to rush back to.
