My wife and I were in town for the Georgia -Florida football game and sought out Turkish food. This restaurant came up on Trip Advisor and was highly rated. I agree with the ratings. The ambience and overall restaurant looks nicer than the pictures. It's comfortable and has a good vibe upstairs. The food was delicious and the service from our waiter Sez was excellent. The two of us split a babaghanoush appetizer, a spanakopita appetizer, a Greek salad, and a lamb kebab. We look forward to returning.

Small plates with lots of personality and incredible flavor! The servers were knowledgeable, attentive, and helpful. The manager stopped by to welcome us and share some insight into the food and wine, which made the evening even more enjoyable. Fun atmosphere, great people, and excellent food. Probably my new favorite spot near the Marietta Square! Not inexpensive, but well worth spending a little extra for a great evening out.

This was a great experience and we will definitely be returning! We got the hummus as an appetizer, which was world class. Their fresh pita had a smoky flavor to it that added a lot to the pairing. I had the Chicken Tawook and my wife had one of the pasta dishes. We ordered it spicy and it was excellent. We had the Tiramisu for dessert, which I would highly recommend. I enjoyed the environment and thought the music and noise levels were ideal for the experience. Our waitress didn't seem to know much about the food or have much opinion on it, but the rest of the experience was great. We really enjoyed their original cocktails. I want to go try their happy hour.
