Beth Santos: can't find a better date spot. the waiters know their stuff when it comes to wine pairings.

Yasaman Mahdian: Chenjeh kabob was really good. Fresh ingredients and neat place. Welcoming staff is also a pro. Big portion and good taste is something you will experience here.

Behrad Eats: Delicious food that's open late on the weekends making it a perfect after drinking spot. Go for the Moby's Combo I, kubideh (ground beef) and chenjeh (filet) kabob on top of aromatic saffron rice.

Behrad Eats: Ask for 'tahdeeg'- the crisp rice from the bottom of the pot!

Rabia R.: I love the piddeh, which is basically a Turkish pizza. The mixed mezze player is also good, as is their fresh bread. Definitely get the kunefeh for dessert, and try the cherry or apricot juices.

Summer Whitford: This is probably the best Turkish resto in town. Luv it!

Dee: One of the best turkish restaurants in DC. Try they mezze platter and their manti if you are willing to explore. If you are not willing to try something different then stick to Doner or kebabs:)
