"A great atmosphere and very welcoming staff. The food was ready in a few minutes after we ordered and it was amazing! Super great quality and delicious. I love this place and would come back again."

"Pita bread was fresh and ate so much of it.
Lamb Adana tasted delicious with its seasonings.
Dolma/Stuffed grape leaves were also good, a bit oily for my preference.
Price point is definitely a bit of a concern.
Overall a good experience with attentive friendly staff."
Gabriel Colwell
"I think the server was nice. The food was ok with very bright burst of flavor. The chef didn’t get the temp right on the lamb and octopus. Was very overcooked. I do want to express that we were a bit surprised that after our bottle of wine slid itself off the table because the table was uneven, meaning it was not our fault, and also spilled all over the floor, we were not offered a complimentary glass or two because of the wasted wine. I would say it wasn’t the quality of food and service I expected."

Momo's Kebab: Moroccan mastery in
From Aladdin's in the west to Cafe Tandoor in the east, and Mad Greek, Anatolia, Best Gyros and several-others-I've-no-doubt-overlooked in between, there's more places in this town featuring meat on a spit than you can shake a skewer at. So it's a wonder that the community, notorious for its love of over-zoning, didn't shut Mohamed Abdessamad's new restaurant, Momo's Kebab, down before he threaded his first kefta on a stick, citing a serious overabundance of kebaberies in the hood.
Best Kebab 2005 | Anatolia Café | Food & Drink
Turkey's riff on the Greek gyro, the doner kebab, is a combo of highly seasoned beef and lamb, grilled on a rotating vertical spit; as the meat cooks, broad mahogany ribbons of it are cut away, with a very sharp knife, to be served over buttery rice. At the friendly Anatolia Café, where the Turkish food is fit for a king, the doner initially may look a little dry; in reality, though, it is mouthwateringly moist, yet completely grease-free.
