Cappadocia Turkish Cuisine — Restaurant in Agawam

I visited today with my friend. The restaurant was totally empty. The design and atmosphere is nice. Service was good however we were the only customers, so I’m not sure how it is during the busy hours. Most importantly, the foods are “terrible”. I’ve read the reviews beforehand and I was very excited about the menu. They have a wide selection of entrees. Some of them even hard to find in the state. Unfortunately, the foods are complete disappointment.

We ordered tantuni, kokorec and cokertme.

Tantuni had very little salt, the meat was overcooked. Idk why but they put too much smoked paprika in the wrap and on the plate. Interestingly the wrap was stone cold. Overall 2/10.

Cokertme has a fries, tomato sauce, yogurt sauce and a meat. I don’t know how it’s possible but the meat was one of the worst meats I’ve eaten for a long time. It was completely overcooked. We couldn’t even chew the meat. 1/10

Kokorec was the worst. First thing first, there was a big hair in kokorec. So, after one bite, it was a quick no. I’ll be honest, I’m not easy to disgust, but after everything, we asked for check and left as quick as possible. 0/10

They serve complimentary appetizers. Cig kofte was terrible. Eggplant was okay. Red cabbage was bad, and bulgur was tasteless. 2/10

They definitely don’t know how to cook meat. I’m sure they try their best, but I don’t think the food even deserves 1 star especially for these prices. It’s an expensive restaurant. Friendly staff, they were so sorry after I told about the hair but the issue is bigger than that. All items were cooked poorly.

At last, they didn’t charge for kokorec. They saw that everything was almost untouched and we were extremely uncomfortable. They still charged for everything except kokorec. Gotta be honest, I was a bit disappointed.

Don’t...

I almost don’t want to write this review… because if too many people find out how amazing this place is, I’ll never be able to get a table again. But hey, here we go — for the greater good.

We ordered the serpme breakfast — meant to be shared between three people — and it was easily one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. The selection was incredible, with a variety of fresh, flavorful items that kept us reaching back for “just one more bite” of everything. It was generous, beautifully presented, and felt like real home-style cooking.

What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. The staff didn’t just serve us — they welcomed us like we were old friends. It honestly felt more like we were eating at someone’s home than at a restaurant, in the best possible way. Warm, relaxed, and genuinely kind people all around.

Would I recommend this place? 100 times over. But please, let’s keep it between us… just enough so they stay in business, but not so much that there’s a 3-week...

My family and I came here after attending the gem mineral and fossil show at the Big E grounds. We were looking for a quality late lunch/early dinner and this restaurant did not disappoint. If you’re looking for excellent Turkish food, attending wait staff and a great atmosphere, here is the place to go. We will be returning for future meals after going to the Big E grounds!

We tried their chicken, meatballs, pasta, falafel, bread, eggplant, lamb, and much much more. Everything was incredible and flavorful. Could not recommend more.

I would also note that I am a vegetarian and I specifically was looking for vegetarian foods. While that was hard, they brought out several appetizers for us as a thank you for coming that we didn’t ask for and those were vegetarian. They were delicious and satisfying and I grew very full very fast. One of them was this carrot that...
