‘twas my 2nd time here and food are still amazing. -Shawarma plate for me its 9/10 -lentil soup 8/10 -beef clay 7/10 Food and place was amazing EXCEPT the WAITER! We’re calling on him already many times bus he was BUSY ON HIS (personal) PHONE. But then when he came to our table he act like he’s very tired, no energy wearing poker face! But kudos to the old man (white/less hair) even though he’s not the waiter on our table he makes sure that our everything r all good. Anyway, more training to your staff. I always go there for their shawarma as you get a good deal from elsewhere. I tried to dine in and had their chicken with mushroom and cheese. Would say need more seasoning. Quite expensive. The service is top notch the atmosphere is good. Would I try it again? Maybe A nice restaurant serving authentic Turkish cuisine, with good taste, ample quantity, fast service, fairly priced, and somewhat of a decent ambiance. Menu is available on your phone through scanning a QR code printed on the table mat. Food was served fresh and within 15 minutes. Food taste was very good, the meat items were perfectly grilled, were tender, and had a nice Turkish flavor. The Turkish bread was also baked to perfection. The service was fast and prompt but the staff lacks the courteous behavior anticipated from restaurant staff. Prices are normal to what you would expect at a restaurant of this standard. The ambiance is slightly on the darker side which was confusing given several alleys and compartments in the family section of the restaurant. Also it’s hard to navigate through the restaurant and no staff member could speak or understand English so was a challenge for guests. This restaurant is pretty popular among the expat community and comes highly recommended.

Clean. Warm. Staffs are welcoming. Menu is on reasonable price. My friend's go-to place for tamees, hummus and grilled chicken. Ugh! Chicken is too juicy and flavorful! Such explicit homey-experience. Always a 5-star rating everytime we dine here. Even my friend's daughter love their hummus and that's a +++ as the kid is a picky-eater.

I had a pleasant experience at Assaraya Turkish Restaurant. The meal was nice, with authentic flavors and well-prepared dishes. The staff were polite and welcoming, adding to the positive atmosphere. What impressed me most was the speed of service—it was incredibly fast, making it a great option for a quick yet satisfying meal. Overall, a solid choice for Turkish cuisine with efficient service and courteous staff. I’ll definitely consider visiting again!
