You’ve got to come try the Turkish Döner. It’s sliced seasoned meat that is so versatile.

It’s great with rice and salad.

It’s great as Iskender Kebab drizzled with tomato butter sauce served over toasted cubed bread with yogurt on the side.

Our newest creation is the döner burger - our take on a loose meat burger.

Of course we have the classic döner kebab sandwich and wrap available!

Help us get the word out - there are so many people who still haven’t heard about us!

🌙 Late-night cravings? We’ve got you covered until 10 PM!

Looking for something more exciting than the usual Friday night takeout?

🥙 Lahmacun – Think of it as Turkey’s answer to pizza! A thin, crispy flatbread topped with seasoned halal lamb and beef, tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and spices. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon, sprinkle on parsley, roll it up, and enjoy every flavorful bite.

👑 Sultan’s Delight – Fall-apart tender lamb served over a silky, buttery roasted eggplant purée. Rich, comforting, and one of the most iconic dishes in Turkish cuisine.

🥟 Manti – Tiny handmade Turkish dumplings topped with cool garlic yogurt and drizzled with warm butter infused with herbs and spices. Every bite is creamy, savory, and incredibly satisfying.

Can’t decide? Our Taste of Istanbul lets you enjoy small portions of several of our guests’ favorite Turkish dishes—including these delicious classics!

✨ Make tonight a little more flavorful. We’re serving dinner until 10 PM!

Now we’re curious...
