After exploring the beauty of Arab street, my family and I got hungry and wanted to find a place to eat lunch. After checking for reviews online, this place seemed like the obvious choice, and it absolutely was. We had a great experience from the time we walked through the door. The wait staff was extremely nice in asking us where we preferred to sit and explained the menu. After ordering what we thought was a decent amount food for a great price, we quickly noticed that based on the dish sizes, we had over-ordered. That still did not stop us from eating almost everything that was served. It was probably the best or close to the best middle-eastern / Mediterranean cuisine that I have had up until this point (I have not been to the middle east yet but have been to Greece). The manager on duty was extremely courteous and made us feel like we were part of the family. He always had a smile on his face and even helped us with getting a taxi. He definitely added to the experience and should be recognized for his professionalism. We definitely recommend visiting if you are around Arab street and are looking for a delicious meal.

It was a great experience today with group of friends. The service was attentive and friendly when attending to our table. The downside the manager in blue took a picture of us but the outcome was just the food and half of my friends faces. But we still enjoy the moment. kudos to all the service crews!

Good establishment near the mosque. The outside seating (weather permitting) has a good vibe. The food is decent but definitely not the 4.9 rating ! (I am intrigued how they managed that). It is also expensive, even by Singapore standards, but then that is tourist tax in that part of the town. All things considered, a good place for a casual evening. Food: 3/5 Ambience: 4/5 Service: 4/5

Great place. Good food. Excellent service. Came with a group of friends. The food is excellent. The staff recommended the dishes and they were excellent. The mixed grill is great for sharing. Must leave space for dessert, the Kunefe is a wonderful mix of flavours and textures. And the Turkish coffee! They can get a bit busy but the staff is always attentive. Booking system is efficient.

Good experience, wrap was decent, not worth to spent there, best dishes were Mixed Mezze and Mixed Grill, but if you are not a big eater choose only 1 of this dishes. The tea was good, lasted us the whole meal, decent amount. They also gave us a complimentary baklava. Nice touch. 200+ for 3 person.

Three of us went to the restaurant without a reservation. We had a mixed mette platter as a starter (for two). Recommended if you like hummus, saksuka. Personally, I'm not a fan of it. But the bread as a side dish was incredibly good, as usual in Turkey. After that I had a Cheesy Bread and a Mixed grill. The bread was soft and the cheese strongly aromatic. Exactly my taste. Maybe a little too oily (probably the cheese). The grill plate was extensive, for me the grilled meat is always a bit overdone. For my colleagues it was just right. The fruit juice was good again, but not as good as in Melakka. Portions are very big for the price. If you like grilled food, this is the place for you.

My first authentic Turkish food experience highly recommended by my friend. And it totally blew my mind - how hearty and flavourful the food was and how warm the staffs were. The biggest take away was the hummus & bread and baklava!!

Experienced a delicious Turkish cuisine. Their service was good. The food taste great 👍🏻 especially the lamb kebab and kunefe😋. They have different platter sizes for large gatherings. Overall it’s a nice place to hangout with friends and family which is located near to Sultan mosque at Arab Street.

Amazing restaurant! I dined here twice in 3 days. The restaurant is the closest to the Sultan Mosque so the views and atmosphere are great. The food is exceptional, great servings, presentation, and staff are friendly. I had the lamb chop and balloon bread and both were 10/10.

This must be the best Turkish food we had in Singapore. Smacked in the touristy belt of Kampung Glam and Arab Street. We had the Mixed Grill and also the Musakka, which is sliced eggplant with meat pieces, choice of chicken, lamb or veg. We especially loved the Musakka, the melted cheese with the gravy were just delicious. Add the sauce to the fragrant rice. it was just so good. As we were leaving, we were treated to their desssert, Baklava, and the frangrant Turkish Tea. Greatly appreciate the wonderful gesture. All the staff was wonderful. Served by Arif and Hifran. We will come back once we have that craving for Turkish food.

Incredible Turkish food - despite being at a touristy location, the quality was excellent and of good value. This was a popular spot on a Saturday night, given our last minute reservation, they only had slots 8pm and later. Needless to say the slight wait was worthwhile - the various breads were so fresh and done in house. Meats were succulent and well seasoned, all around excellent, there wasn’t a dish we didn’t like. Portions are generous, given the choice of would be nice to go with a group of 3+ but we won’t complain about leftovers!

Portions were enormous and the food was delicious. I spent a total of $50. Think the meat platter could have been shared with 2 people. I managed to finish all except the rice though. Would come back with friends/ family to try other items on the menu.

We have visited this restaurant many times before. The staff are always very warm and friendly, and service is great. Food is consistently very tasty. Dishes are best for sharing. Our favourites were the pottery lamb kebab and the chicken musakka. A lovely, unique place for Turkish cuisine that we highly recommend.

Meats were well seasoned and mostly tender. I usually eat my steaks medium rare, and the grilled beef here is "well done". But i found the beef and other meats to be tender and reasonably moist. Overall an enjoyable meal.

1) Food was good, we enjoyed the lamb in the claypot the most. 2) We were family of 10 and they were very nice and patience with us. 3) Location was good however, we felt they might need a slightly bigger walking space.

Delightful with the unique dine in experience with my family at Ayasofya. The Adana kebab. Hummus chicken, Falafel and Baklava are the star dishes. Restaurant has nice Turkish lamps, decors and paintings and lively vibe being at the center of Kampong Glam.

Nice view of the mosque from the restaurant The meat platter for 4 is what we ordered, great variety of prep for chicken and lamb.. comes with a buttery rice. Loved it. For sides we had a spring roll that had spinach and cheese, it’s highly recommended.. No they don’t serve alcohol but you won’t be missing out!

We found this street by accident decided to give this restaurant a go as the reviews were so good. We didn’t come out for a Turkish mixed grill (2 persons) but I’m so glad we did! Every part of the meal was exceptionally delicious and the waiters were brilliantly helpful. 100% would recommend - we forgot how good an amazing one of these is!

Loved the food here!! Mediterranean food ALWAYS slaps hard! We ordered a platter that came with different dips, a pide, grilled haloumi cheese and one mixed grill. The food was really filling! We also ordered their ice tea and it was on the sweeter side but still nice. Would recommend people to eat here!!

Place is easy to find. Touristy spot. Prices are a little high for their serving size. But it tasted so good. All types of meat are tender and flavourful. Rice tasted so good. Oily. But good, really. Extra rice cost 6$++ The pizza like spinach bread we ordered was so so. It's a little bland but cheesy. The mango yougurt drink also did not have much exciting taste on it. Turkish tea tasted like lipton. Nothing exemplary. Also, the serving was so small. Service that time lacked a little attentiveness, but it was ok for us. You need to look and wait for someone and catch his/her attention. Place has al fresco and indoor dining. Overall, it was good to try. But must splurge with its prices. Paid about 130 sgd.
