I’ve been coming to A La Turca Kebab House in Lexington for a few weeks now, and it’s no exaggeration to say this is some of the best food I’ve ever had. Every single dish I’ve tried from the menu has been excellent — from the juicy Adana kebab to the tender lamb shish kebab, the flavors are rich, authentic, and perfectly balanced.
The hummus and babaganush are fresh and full of flavor, and the falafel is crispy, golden, and just right. Their doner is packed with mouthwatering taste that takes you straight to the heart of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine.
Craving a quick wrap to go? They’ve got it. Prefer a full platter with delicious sides? They’ve got that too. Whatever you’re in the mood for, they deliver — and they do it incredibly well.
Turkish food doesn’t get any better than this outside of Turkiye. The owner clearly puts care into every detail, and it shows — from the food to the warm, welcoming service.
This place is more than amazing. A true gem in Lexington for anyone who loves real Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors....
Read moreDelicious. I stopped in around 11pm last night because they were the only Mediterranean place open. This place very much reminds me of the Halal carts in New York that I ate at often while visiting, and his food is just as good. Wifey and I had a falafel platter and a Knefeh dessert to share.
The Falafels are big, very well seasoned, and smothered in a bunch of Tahini sauce, also served Bulgar wheat that has a roasted jalapeno pepper, and a roasted tomato on top. Two small cups, one is white sauce and the other is Harrisa sauce. The sauces are very tasty. You are provided with toppings of cucumber, tomato, and lettuce. I think I now prefer to eat Bulgar better than a platter that has rice, let's face it, rice can be boring.
The Knefeh was freshly made. We loved everything about it. If you love pistachios, crunchy bread, honey, and cheese. This...
Read moreI'm kinda sad I didn't try this place sooner. The food was absolutely delicious! The man who was working the food truck, whom I assume was the owner, was very nice and explained any dish I had questions about. We ordered saksuka, the lamb shish, chicken shish, and walnut baklava. He also threw in some extra dessert for us. Both platters came with bulgur, which I learned is a type of rice, salad, and lots of pita bread. Everything was absolutely delicious 🙌🏼. We will definitely be going back to try some of their other dishes. It's a purple trailer in front of an auto repair shop. So if you're needing new tires or something, you can hit two birds with one stone,...
