One of the very best! Fast cook (they do not use frozen stuff), authentic and delicious food, professional service, clean environment, smart but simple decorations…But the real deal they are in the heart of San Diego Downtown! Whenever I go to Downtown I always used to crave for real authentic Meditarrenean food other than pasta and pizza…These dudes know what they are doing in regards to prepare good and healthy food. I always try to have a balanced diet with meat, lots of vegetables, good carbs, and the least fat possible. I love their food. I have been in Istanbul once, I admire their decoration because with a simple touch -windows on the wall and fancy curtains- they turned that dry place into an antique Istanbul house.
Try this place, you’ll see what I am talking about.
The only thing these guys might want to work on is their popularity. They take their job so seriously and forget fooling around with people. That is why how they were able to get those harsh reviews I suppose if those reviews were not written by their competitors…Huh! who cares…I do not like chatting with people when I am enjoying a good meal followed by a cup of authentic Turkish tea while I am reading a lovely book anyway..
Next time I will take images of what I am eating.
