This is a Turkish restaurant in Holland Village. Looks pretty new as I don't recall seeing it the last time I was in HV. Went there with KnA. The location is great. Right across from Al Hamra. The service was quite nice. The ambience is there. It looks pretty authentic. However, the food was just not good at all. Maybe we don't know authentic Turkish food, but we really did not like it that much. We ordered a turkish pizza (minced meat with eggplant, tomatoes, and garlic, I believe), an eggplant dip called babaloush or something like that, their 2 signature main dishes - don't know the name, but it came with all the types of kebabs they serve and eggplant with garlic yogurt and chicken. (seemed like they had eggplant in all of their dishes.) The dip was too sour. You needed to eat it with something salty. Good thing they provided bread and feta cheese. The pizza was nothing special and if I wanted pizza, I would've had italian (but it came highly recommended by the waiter) and oh by the way, pizza was part of one of the main dishes. The waiter could have mentioned that and we could have ordered a different appetizer. The kebabs were ok and the chicken yogurt dish was fine too, but nothing that would make us jump up and down. Overall, it is not worth going back to. Kev ordered their Turkish drink that tastes like anise-seed. I think it tastes like black licorice.
