🍽️ The experience at Osmanlı Lezzet felt like stepping into a piece of Turkey. The restaurant was carefully designed with details that made every corner look authentic, from the shop-style kitchens to the private rooms that gave real privacy. I sat first on the ground floor for my meal and later moved upstairs to enjoy dessert and coffee.

🥗 They began by bringing me a complimentary Lentil Soup. It was warm and comforting, with soft texture and a simple, homely flavor.

🥙 For appetizers, I tried the Mixed Eastern Appetizers. The plate had six small bowls, each with its own taste and color. From smooth hummus and smoky baba ghanouj to chunky patlıcan ezmesi and walnut-rich mutabbal, every bite with the warm fresh bread felt rich and full of variety.

🍆 The Hot Baba Ghanouj came next. It had roasted eggplant, tahini, and a drizzle of olive oil, with pomegranate seeds adding freshness. It was hearty and full of depth.

🥩 For the main dishes, the Meat Jar Pottery was the star. The sealed clay jar was cracked open at the table, releasing steam filled with the aroma of slow-cooked meat, vegetables, and spices. It was tender and full of flavor, paired with soft rice and fresh Turkish bread.

🔥 I also had the Mushakal Osmanlı Grill, which included Shish Tawook, Chicken Kebab, Adana Kebab, and Meat Pieces. Each cut was juicy, smoky from the grill, and served with fries, ketchup, and a garlic mayonnaise dip. It was filling but not too heavy, with a total of 786 calories.

🥮 Dessert was Ketmir, made with layers of filo pastry, pistachios, and cream. It was crunchy, creamy, and served warm, making it the perfect sweet ending to the meal.

🥤 For drinks, I tried the Luxury Dragon Mojito and the Luxury Lavender Mojito. Both were refreshing and colorful, decorated with fresh fruits and herbs. I also had a fresh Mango & Strawberry Juice, which was smooth and sweet.

☕ The meal ended with Turkish coffee and Turkish tea. The tea was strong with a touch of cardamom, and it felt like the true Turkish way to close a meal.

✨ The staff were polite, professional, and always ready to help. The service was fast but never rushed.

⭐ For me, this visit deserved a full score. Food: 5.0/5 🍴 Service: 5.0/5 🤝 Atmosphere: 5.0/5 🌟

It was more than a meal, it was a full Ottoman feast, and every detail...

I went to this place tonight with my family.

I booked a table prior to that, I asked for a good table and indeed a good table was prepared.

Once we arrived I told them about my reservation they mixed me with someone else, maybe the one I called didn't inform the other staff, I don't know what went wrong, but nonetheless they did see us to the table I mentioned above.

They have a lot of tables, but I recommend booking if you are a family and want partition.

Seating area was nice, chairs were decent. Service was spectacula throughout!

We were served soup complimentary! The soup was good too, it didn't taste cheap whatsoever.

We got meshakal cold appetizers, in my opinion the hummusa and baba gannog were top, it's good to try variety.

For main courses we got 1 meter kebab, chicken kebab, laban kebab, araies and I believe something else. With sides of rice and french fries. All dishes and sides were delicious! even the chicken had a unique flavour that I didn't taste in any chicken kebab before, in a good way! The 1 meter beef as you can see I couldn't take 1 picture of at because it is that long! 🤭

We also got khunafa and tea. Khunafa was really good, texturally it was the best khunafa I cut. Tea was good too.

In conclusion I do recommend this place highly! Excellent service, excellent food, and fair prices! I would go...

It was our anniversary dinner and we decided to visit this place which is a hidden gem. The ambience of the place makes you fall in love with it at once, beautifully decorated and very spacious, they also have outdoor seating with heaters. We settled indoors only They serve the lentil soup which is complimentary. Although the taste is wonderful I felt that the soup should have been hotter especially in this cold weather. But add a little fresh pepper and lemon and you are good to go. The dolma kabab was very soft and flavorful. But what we liked the most was the meat kabab which gave the meaty taste as well as it wasn’t chewy at all. Won’t say melt in mouth because you want to have that meat feeling while enjoying the kabab. The side we opted was rice which was with flavor of saffron, was very aromatic and added to the complete meal. They also serve the traditional bread which we could not eat as the portions were good enough for us. The meal ends with a cup of tea which is also complimentary. The service is very very good. A little high on price but the worth it. Will definitely visit again and...
