We were excited to find this cute little spot as we drove through the streets of Houston.We got there just before the place was closing and had five minutes to place our order.The server was nice and we were quick.Appreciated the bread and oil, as well as the Turkish tea which was my favourite.We got the mixed platter for two and honestly was not impressed by it.It was dry and the rice seemed the easy cook rice.We had been driving all day so we were definitely hungry!! But the meats could have been more flavoured and accompanied with some sort of sauce or something so that it was not so dry overall.I would be willing to give this another shot and not come so close to when they are closing for an authentic experience.

Dear Shivika, Thank you for taking your time for reviewing us.It was our pleasure serving you.
I absolutely love Mediterranean cuisine, though I’ve never had Turkish food, I was expecting more flavor.Maybe it could be just me but it left little to be desired and did not keep well as leftovers.The meat - as I know it to be prepared is mixed with spices and herbs but I tasted NONE of that in the chicken.The rice is not basmati, maybe jasmine but I think they could use a more flavorful rice especially since the meat isn’t well seasoned.It was a very bland experience. I ordered the Chicken Adana and they should really provide two scoops of rice to balance the protein portion.I got Doogh which is a Persian drink- I forgot what they call it in Turkey, anyway, that was the more tasteful part of my meal. The atmosphere is serene and I hate that the food doesn’t match cuz I would definitely take myself out here to read had the food been good. Glad I came as I passed this place sometimes and was curious but I won’t be returning.
This place made me recall my time in Turkey ten years ago.The owner explained the dishes and served what we wanted.Nice place to have a great time with your beloved ones.
