Bizi Kovdular! Mart 30 pazar , 2025, yani Ramazan bayramının ilk günü, ailem ve misafirlerimle birlikte (6 erkek, 3 kadın ve 3 çocuk) her zaman gittiğimiz restorana kahvaltı için gittik. Mekân oldukça kalabalıktı, ancak sabırla bekliyorduk. O sırada kuzenim biraz daha fazla sipariş vermeye karar verdi. Ancak işletme sahibi( erkek) , aniden kuzenime dönüp, “Sen daha önce burada kötü bir yorum yaptın, çık git!” dedi.

Bu durumu duyduğumuzda hepimiz şok olduk. Bir restoran, sadece geçmişte olumsuz bir yorum yaptı diye bir müşterisini kapı dışarı eder mi? Yoksa onu tekrar kazanmak için mi çabalar? Durumu bizzat işletme sahibine sormak istedik. Ancak bize düzgünce bile bakmadan, “Evet, doğru!” diyerek sert bir şekilde yanıt verdi. Biz de bunun üzerine, “O halde gidelim.” dedik. O ise umursamaz bir tavırla, “Evet, siz de gidin!” diyerek adeta bizi kovdu.

Bu kişinin uzun süredir öfkesini içinde biriktirdiği belliydi ve bunu en uygunsuz şekilde bize yansıttı. Elbette bir işletmeye yapılan bir yorum hoşlarına gitmeyebilir. Ancak bunun çözümü, müşterilerini aileleriyle birlikte kapı dışarı etmek midir? Eğer bir işletme açıyorsanız, bunun yalnızca yemek yapmaktan ibaret olmadığını; müşteri memnuniyeti, saygı ve profesyonellik gibi unsurların da en az yemek kadar önemli olduğunu bilmeniz gerekir.

Amerika’da ilk defa böyle bir durum yaşadım. Bayram günü ailesiyle ve misafirleriyle gelen insanlara böylesine saygısızca bir muamelede bulunmak esnaflık değildir. Bir işletmenin kalitesini sadece yaptığı yemek değil, aynı zamanda sergilediği iş ahlâkı, saygısı ve müşterileriyle kurduğu ilişki belirler.

Kendi reklamlarında “Anne eli değmiş gibi” diyorlar. Ancak bayram gunu, anne eli yerine, işletme sahibinin öfkesi yüzümüze bir tokat gibi indi. Saygısız, kaba ve kabul edilemez bir tavırdı.

Eğer bir gün bu restorana gitmeyi düşünüyorsanız, sadece bir yorumunuz yüzünden kapı dışarı edilme ihtimalinizi göz önünde bulundurun. Çünkü burada hamurun, etin ya da sunulan yemeğin bir değeri yok—eğer saygı ve iş etiği yoksa. Hatta bence buranın adı değiştirilmeli ve “Öfke Kusan Kızgın Adamın Yeri” konulmalı. Çünkü yaşadığımız deneyim tam olarak bunu yansıtıyor.

They Kicked Us Out! March 30 Sunday, 2025, on the first day of Eid, my family and guests (6 men, 3 women, and 3 children) went to a restaurant we frequently visit for breakfast. Despite the crowd, we waited patiently. At one point, my cousin decided to order a bit more. However, the owner (man) suddenly turned to him and said, “You left a bad review here before. Get out!”

We were all shocked when my cousin told us what had happened. Should a restaurant kick out a customer just because of a past review? Or should they try to win them back? We decided to ask the owner directly if this was true. Without even looking at us properly, he coldly replied, “Yes!” We responded, “Then we’ll leave.” To which he answered, “Yes, you all should go!”

It was clear that he had been holding onto his anger for a long time and chose this moment to unleash it. Sure, a bad review might upset a business owner, but is the solution really to throw out an entire family, including children, on a holiday? If you run a business, you must accept that there will be both positive and negative feedback.

This was the first time I’ve experienced something like this in the U.S. Treating a family and their guests this way on Eid is simply not good business practice. Running a restaurant isn’t just about cooking food—it’s about respect, professionalism, and how you treat your customers. They advertise their food as “Like Moms hands.” But instead of a moms hand, we were met with the owner’s anger, like a slap to the face. It was rude, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. If you ever consider going to this restaurant, be warned—you might be kicked out just for leaving a review. Because here, it’s not the dough, the meat, or the food that matters. If there’s no respect or business ethics, nothing else has value. Honestly, they should rename this place “The Angry Man’s Diner,” because that’s exactly what...

I decided to try a few of the Turkish specialties on the menu. I started with the cheese borek, which was a flaky pastry filled with creamy cheese. It was absolutely delicious!
