Every other month my husband and I come to Indianapolis for business. Every time we come, we try a new international restaurant. We love food and learning about other cultures. On the way up, I was looking for where we were going to eat this time. I found this restaurant online, and let me tell you...I am SO glad we did. The atmosphere was peaceful and interesting, the owner and staff were so very friendly--just like family, and the food....WOW! So much food and it was AMAZING! We don't typically repeat restaurants when we come up, but we enjoyed everything so much, we WILL be back and HIGHLY RECOMMEND to any and all! You won't be disappointed!!

Cute homey cafe decorated with lots of rugs and knickknacks. Owner and staff are very friendly and attentive. We had the appetizer platter and it was amazing. Their tabouli is different than any we've had before but very good. The lentil soup was simple but delicious. Turkish delight is a good option for vegetarians. Baklava is the best we've had outside of the Middle East. We went two nights in a row when we were visiting Indianapolis because it was that good. If we're ever back in the city we're definitely coming back to this place.

Tried the chicken burrito, it was HUGE. Couldn’t even finish half. Plus, it came with fries. The hummus as an appetizer was somewhat bland. It came with a basket of pita though. The Doner was tasty. It came with a very small (maybe 1/4 cup) side of rice. Overall, a tasty dinner. Note: parking here is street parking only. There is a restaurant beside it, but it strictly states it’s for their business parking only. To enter, there are stairs to go up to get into the building.

My co-worker had told me about this place over a year ago but I never got a chance to check them out until the end of May 2025. This visit was more so inspired after eating at a restaurant by the same name in Dubai earlier in the month. I wanted to compare my experience of the atmosphere, service and of course, the food. I must say, I was very impressed. On the day I went, I first sat outside but a small drizzle quickly guided me to dine indoors instead. I ordered their sampler platter and with that, I had a variety of flavorful Turkish deliciousness. I had plenty, plenty of left overs from my sample platter….one person can only eat so much. Overall, I have to say Indianapolis as a city, is blessed to have this flavorful gem for its residents and visitors to us experience Turkish cuisine without getting on a plane.
