We absolutely loved this place. The food was excellent. The restaurant is located directly across the street from the hotel. Our waiter was amazing and had a wonderful sense of humor. The hummus was so very good. I had the plated chicken shish kabobs and they were delicious. Lots of lamb on the menu, but there is also the chicken... More

Soy fanatico de la comida turca, y estoy seguro de que este es el mejor restaurante turco que he visitado. Conoci a sus propietarios en su anterior negocio, y siempre han mantenido la misma calidad en su comida y servicio. No importa si prefieres aperitivos o platos principales, todo es asombroso (aunque el hummus es el mejor, obligado!). No olvidar... More

I have been to all middle eastern restaurants in PR and by far this is the best. Service is friendly and efficient even when the restaurant is crowded. The price for the quality of the food is incredible.

I live in San Juan. Having been disappointed by various local Middle Eastern restaurants I was hesitant about trying yet another. But this Turkish chef/owner clearly loves what he does. It shows. Excellent seasoning, very fresh produce, a good and interesting menu. Prices are reasonable and service very pleasant and efficient. Went there first time this week and returned 2... More
