“ Very delicious and real Turkish cuisine. Highly recommend to go with the menu, including soup, main dish (mixed kebap ) and dessert (yes kunefe). Manti is over-priced. While tap water is drinkable in Netherlands, paying €5 for a bottle of water is a bit crazy. ”
“ Had the most amazing experience at this beautiful Halal Turkish restaurant. It is situated in the city centre right by the canal so makes for great peaceful surroundings. The food was spectacular and service very fast and friendly. Would recommend people to give it a try. ”
“ Nice restaurant with nice stuffs. We had a great dinner. The only disappointment was that I have checked the name of the dish on google how will it look like because I had already had the same dish in a different restaurant and I wanted to have the same taste :) but the cheese was on the top of the meat and not mixed with it and then bake. Unfortunately women toilet was not so clean... ”
“ Food was good and staff friendly. Nice location at the canals in Utrecht. Price was also reasonable. ”
“ They offer a diverse menu; whether you're familiar with Turkish cuisine or not, you'll discover something unique and delightful. The food quality is excellent, and portions are generous for one person. The restaurant overlooks the canal, providing a scenic view of the waterway and its visitors as you dine. ”
“ We randomly came across this place after a canal boat tour and it was fantastic! The food came quickly even though they were busy. The food was incredible. Some of the best lamb chops I have ever had. There were many more choices that I would like to try as well. When I am back in Utrecht I will be back! ”
“ I tried their Saffran Special Mixed Grill, and the food is amazing but bit overpriced. The ambience is great, with a small Utrecht lake with the restaurant. The staff was nice. Overall, it was a good experience. #HALAL ”
