I guess I don't like Turkish food. I would probably give it a better rating if service was good but when you sit for anywhere from 5-10 minutes before you are given a menu in a near empty restaurant and another 10 minutes after you set the menu down before your order is taken and then when you finish your meal you are asked if you would like to have dessert or coffee and you answer yes and are ignored and forgotten (the 2 waiters were leaning at the bar directly behind me chatting away and my waiter never came back to offer me the dessert menu. The waiters never check on you to see if the meal is ok, don't come around to fill your water glass and never bother to see if there is anything you need. I started to wonder if it was because I was a woman dining alone but I watched and once they serve the meal you are pretty much left alone. I can forgive forgetting because it's very busy but when it's not really busy and I did say I wanted to order dessert and they just didn't bother... I eventually just turned around and asked for my bill.
The food was basically non-descript. I was expecting more robust flavours or at least subtle and complex flavours but the flavour of the dish was basically salt and pepper and some tomato, maybe a hint of ginger, if there was more than that I couldn't tell. I had the Sultan's delight and the photo showed the meat sitting on a generous portion of creamy eggplant, I doubt if there was even a tablespoon worth on my plate, The best thing on the plate was the rice, perfectly cooked. The salad was ok too but hard to botch up a salad with lemon juice and oil dressing. I give them credit for serving the salad separately as my main arrived on a heated platter. There are several reviews from people who have more experience with Turkish food but I think if you have no experience then it would be better to try their take-out lunch or their location at the Crossroads Farmer's market, at least then you wouldn't be paying a much higher price for the food.
