What People Are Saying About A La Turca

In Short
An unassuming stone facade with simple cafe tables flanking the front door gives way to a casual dining room bounded by mustard-colored walls and deli cases lined with cold appetizers and pastries like walnut kadayif. Scents of grilled spiced lamb, spit-fired chicken and the house-made dough used to make veggie and meat pies (called pides) wafts from the open kitchen over patrons seated at glass-top tables laid with brightly patterned tablecloths. Inexpensive prices and a lengthy menu are added bonuses.

This place can get too crowded and noisy. The location is bad and there is no parking - upper tendorloin in downtown area. I only go here for their sweet delicasy - harissa; others call it baklava. Staffs are efficient and the place looks clean.

Shady neighborhood, wonderful food. The kebabs are full of flavor. The sponge cake is soaked in sweetened rose water, it's overly sweet.

If you love kebobs of any kind, you got to try this restaurant in the shady neighborhood of Tenderloin. The portions are huge.
