Found this restaurant while wondering around Paris. We were seated immediately even though it was Saturday night and busy. With no reservation. Staff are really nice, welcoming.
Now the food, everything we had was absolutely amazing. Mezza starter was surprisingly lovely. I'm not a big Hummus etc fan but this was exceptional. My wife got a veg. Pizza, I had the mixed grille.

When you seat you get warm bread on the house as appetizers for the wait. The owner was working on the yoghurt machine and I took a look asking questions: he offered me a taste. At the end a nice cup of tea in the traditional Turkish glass. The service was fast, they are very busy so if you are a large group then come after 9:30 and you'll find...
