1 /5 Arzu Aydın: We visited this place for breakfast today and ordered the Turkish breakfast platter for two. Unfortunately, what we received was a complete disappointment. The plate looked nothing like the photos shown online. They served half of a simit for two people—something I’ve never seen before, especially as someone who is Turkish and very familiar with authentic Turkish breakfasts.
On top of that, the food was not fresh, completely tasteless, and had nothing to do with what a real Turkish breakfast should be. We paid $48 for this meal, and I can confidently say I’ve never had such poor quality and service for that price at any restaurant before.
When we expressed our concerns to the waiter, he said he would inform the owners (who I believe are also Turkish), but no one came to our table to explain or even acknowledge the issue. While paying the bill, the woman who seemed to be the owner had a very unpleasant and rude attitude—not even a simple apology was offered.
There was also a hair on top of my partner’s coffee, which we had to send back. That alone should have been removed from the bill, but it wasn’t. The tea was served cold, the water glasses were dirty, and the overall hygiene was disappointing.
I also work in hospitality, at a restaurant with 10 owners and 6 managers, and none of them would ever treat customers this way—regardless of who’s right or wrong, we always do our best to fix our mistakes.
This experience genuinely upset me. The attitude, the lack of professionalism, and the quality of the food were all unacceptable. If you’re looking for a real Turkish breakfast experience, I strongly do not recommend this place.
I will also be uploading photos of what was actually served.
