Authentic Turkish food and atmosphere.. I really enjoyed their Lunch Menu.. The food overall is delicious but you have to select your type that you like.. Fresh bread and delicious soup to start with.. The place is authentic and traditional providing a great experience.. Price is competitive and good. Service is so great and staff are friendly and welcoming.. I would recommend this place if you would like to try Turkish food and experience..

This place is one of best Turkish food in town… the place is low key, but very charming. It has indoors and outdoors dinning. They have limited space outside, but inside the fit about 20 tables, for parties of 4. The have a good deal for lunches, see picture. The food was very tasty, fresh and authentic. Service is bilingual (English and Turkish), and attentive. The service was very fast. Bathrooms were gendered and clean. You should certainty safe space for the dessert and tea!

Favorite Turkish place! Plenty of choices available and always fresh food. You can pick anything in the menu and won’t regret it! We always opt for fried liver (Turkish style) and mix platter which will feed 2 or 3 people. Great customer service. Thank you for the warm welcoming as always! Desert? Look and tell yourself!

Such a cute place with great service. It was the most delicious Mediterranean food I've ever had. We ordered Mixed Grilled for two people and it was plenty of food.

Delicious Turkish food that is high quality consistently . And it's so close to home I would not go anywhere else for Turkish food. ambiance is not the draw here but the food and value is!!

This place never disappoints whether for lunch or dinner. The major difference between this fine establishment and many others is that food is ALWAYS fresh!

The only reason I didn't give this place a 5 star was because of service. We routinely had to look for help and the female help didn't want to help us at all. Overall the food was good but their bread was excellent. I believe that if the owner was there, we would have had a better experience.

We visited Empire Turkish Grill for Monday lunch and had a wonderful experience. The restaurant was very clean and calm, creating a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy our meal. The food was fresh and delicious, and we were impressed with the attentive service. Another big plus—the restroom was spotless, which shows they care about every detail. Highly recommend this place for a pleasant dining experience.

My coworkers and I came here for dinner and had a wonderful time. We started with the Chef’s Selection mixed appetizer, which featured a variety of spreads such as hummus, ezme, and lebni. Paired with fresh bread, it was a flavorful and satisfying way to begin the meal. For the main course, we shared a mixed platter of lamb, chicken, and Adana kebab. The lamb was slightly chewy, but the chicken and kebab were cooked beautifully, full of flavor and nicely seasoned. Overall, it was a pleasant and hearty dish. For dessert, we tried both the kesül and the baklava. The kesül was my favorite. Smooth, sweet, and delightfully prepared. I enjoyed dining here, and so did my coworkers. My only critique would be the presentation, which felt a bit rushed and could use more refinement. Still, the flavors and variety made it a worthwhile experience.

Excellent Turkish food with friendly service. Reasonably priced and offers great lunch deals. Adana kebab and lentil soup is a must try.

While the restaurant is very loud inside the food is delicious. Flavors so super fresh and every taste is like a bit of home cooking. Baklava was extremely tasty!! Service was very nice. We enjoyed it very much.

Nice first experience in this Turkish restaurant. The room is big with a lots of natural light. Very large choice of dishes (like 7 pages). The service was nice and the flavor of the food was great….especially the hummus and the milk pudding…delicious.

Unfortunately, this place was below my standards. Lamb sis kebab and adana kebab were pretty good but anything else were pretty disappointing. Iskender kebab was horrible, including the taste of beef and yogurt, very little tomato sauce and butter. When it comes to cold appetizers (soguk meze), hummus and cacik were good, patlican soslu, babaganus and ezme were decent, yaprak sarma was terrible… The shape of yaprak sarma is not even close, leading me to question if chef knows Turkish cuisine at all. I would recommend only to get sis kebab and adana kebab, nothing else. For context, I have lived in Turkey for 6 years, so I am pretty accustomed to the Turkish cuisine.

We had some friends over here for lunch. Restaurant is very busy. Packed with people of all kind. Food was good and simple. Just the Turkish kind. Not so fancy and over the top presentation. I enjoyed the adana kabab with Sheppard salad on the side. Salad was good. Kabab was juicy but i had better flavored ones before. The rice that came with it had a smell. I had to request for some chili sauce to add some flavor. Zartar would also help to add flavor too. Doner kabab / gyro platter was good too. However guests said they had better gyro. It didn’t have the zing to it. We enjoyed the Ayran. Very tasty and soul soothing. Kids loved their wrap. We also ordered Turkish Pasta too. It was good. They assured us it had no cross contamination with nuts. Baklava and Kazambidi were good too. We ordered cabbage roll but they were out of it. The guy who took our order had trouble answering our questions regarding the dishes. We had to rephrase and repeat a couple of times. Place is so simple but lovely. You can eat and chitchat as long as you want.

Recently, my spouse and I visited your restaurant for a meal. Unfortunately, the staff member who greeted us was very unfriendly and unapproachable, which created a negative first impression. When we requested a different table, there was no response, and the menu was simply placed in front of us. This experience negatively affected our dining, and we eventually left without eating. The initial greeting is a very important part of the dining experience. A small smile and a warm welcome can sometimes be more impactful than the food itself. If you take pride in your work and aim to provide professional service, I strongly suggest paying attention to this issue.
