Ottawa Foodies

This is one of my favourite restaurants. After three visits, I have had nothing to complain about, and can only rave about the food.

Their Turkish Coffee is amazing, and as it is rare to find somewhere in Ottawa that serves it, it is a welcome change from "regular" coffee.

Dishes are typically meat-heavy, as is to be expected. Very authentic. Their Kadayif (dessert) is to die for, and the Keskul (a cocunut flavoured pudding type dessert) is very good as well.

My friends and I discovered this gem of Ottawa cuisine - and we've been back since - and I plan on going again soon!
We love the cacik and the hoummus dip - the best we've ever had - it is heavenly!! We just need to have more pita - there are 6 of us going and they serve it with 1 pita - we are hungry gals !
I adore the chicken dish - forget the name - but it's savoury, with a tomato base...and lovely rice, salad and those potatoes - omg - we rave about the potatoes to everyone we know! Incredible!
I've had the rice pudding-like dessert and love it - with coconut there - so good - the baklava I tried it and it's lovely too! The tea is lovely...tried the coffee...but that is an acquired taste!
Oh my - I think I need to go soon - I'm craving that chicken dish and potatoes....mm mm mmm!
I love this place - the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing...not too fancy, not too casual...there was live music the time we were there....great touch!

This is definitely my new favourite in town!! I love love LOVE this place. The food is heavenly. The atmosphere is relaxing and romantic. The service is excellent. I took my mom there for dinner once and we ate for 2 hours! It was a really wonderful experience.

When I went with my mom, I ordered the lamb shank and my mom ordered the chicken and lamb kebab. We also ordered the Turkish tea and baklava. All very very yummy!!

This place is amazing!!!

I have literally taken everyone I know here! Its a great little place. Nice decor and really friendly service.

For appetizers I always get the Spinach borek! Soooo good. And for dessert you must get baklava. Now there is baklava... and then there is Turkish baklava. Sooo delicious. Moist, sweet and nutty. Unlike lebanese baklava which is mor dry and very nutty.

For main's ... the Pirzola (LAMB chops)! The LAMB chops are amazing. Hands down the best entree in the restaurant. For chicken lovers you must try the Sultan or Sultan Pilic. Also very good. But my recommendation would be anything with lamb in it. The turkish know how to do lamb right.

This is the best baklava I've ever had! It's sweet but not too sweet. The honey made the dessert nice and moist. And it went super well with the Turkish tea. Simply delicious!

My friend recommended the lamb shank to me on my first visit to the restaurant and I have been hooked ever since. I have stolen tidbits off other people's plates, so I've "tried" several other items on the menu, but this is still by far my favourite dish. The lamb was cooked just right, so tender, so flavourful. It was delicious. A wonderful meal like this only cost $12.00!!

This Turkish restaurant serves spinach börek here which is very similar to it's Eastern European counterpart - burek.
