I was amazed by everything I tried here and it's a unique place to have in the area. My friend and I started off the meal with their baklava. We tried the pistachio, walnut, and chocolate baklava. All of their baklava was delicious, but the chocolate was definitely our favorite! However, you can't go wrong with their classic pistachio baklava either. We were a little full after the baklava but we pushed through to the food we ordered.
I ordered the lahmacun and even though it is pretty big, it eats fairly light! It's fairly thin but not cracker thin yet it still has a nice crisp and chew to it as well. The diced meat, herbs, and veggies on top were seasoned well and tasted fresh. They also give you a side of lemon and seasoned tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. This was good on its own with the seasoning that accompanied it, but I believe it was meant to go on top of the lahmacun. It could probably feed two people, but I had no problem enjoying the whole thing myself. The service was also great, and I would happily come back here for more Turkish food and of...
Read moreThis spring I spent two weeks in Turkey for work. I was between Avcilar Istanbul and Gebze Koceli. I work for a Turkish company and have fallen in love with the food and the warmth of the people. I've been looking high and low for a Turkish restaurant. Not "middle eastern" not Greek not any American version of whatever Turkish might be Close Enough to. Turkish. The amount of Turks who asked me, as I moaned and delighted in the food of their wonderful country, "do you not have this?" No. We do not. We just have Greek and Middle Eastern. A catch all. Kebob? Yes. Kebop? No. Mustafas place is Turkish. They have the tea (cai) the coffee, the kebop the pide the ISKENDER the REAL baklava this place was IT.

Read moreI was looking for Baklava Cheesecake and found this place upon my search. They don’t have baklava cheesecake, but they do have at least 20 kinds of baklava.
Anyways, my boyfriend and I both ordered the grilled chicken Greek salad. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tasted wonderful. The Greek salad was a good size portion for me, but my boyfriend was still hungry. I thought it was a normal sized salad portion. It also comes with a couple small slices of pita bread.
They were very accommodating to my boyfriends allergies and very friendly. I highly recommend. They get fresh meat every MWF. They have lamb, chicken, beef, goat, etc.
The butcher shop is on one side and the dine-in/carry out is on the other side.
It’s a great place to check out! I’m from Cleveland where there’s a large middle eastern culture and NC doesn’t really have any places like this. So it’s nice to know this place exists.
I gave it one less start because they don’t offer regular water,...
