Lovely restaurant just steps away from where we are staying for the week. We are from Oklahoma City (visit often) and this is definitely on our list of new favorites! Service was attentive and the food was fresh, presented quickly and overall amazing. Great selection of wines and the bartender was very fun. We are actually taking a friend of ours that lives in San Francisco to dinner there this evening.

Delicious! I had the adana kebab and my wife had the beyti kebab. Both were very tasty. The owner was very gracious and friendly. We sampled Greek and Turkish beers and the dinner was finished off with complimentary Turkish delight (best I've ever had!).
