DECATUR LOCATION...The absolute WORST!!! There are SEVERAL things that contributed to my experience and why I will never return to this venue and I will warn all of my coworkers, friends, and family to stay away as well. 1.EVERYTHING SHOULDNT BE ABOUT MONEY... I have never been to a restaurant that charged for "valet" parking and the attendant is only there to collect money, not really valet your car. They lied to me as soon as I got there and said that the business owner next door would tow my car if I parked in her lot. I went next door and asked only to find this was a lie. She said that They did not own the lot and I could use one of "her" spots as she would be closing soon. The car parker then went on to argue with me and explain that "This is just the way it is is if you come to this restaurant, you have to pay to park here. Hookahs are $22 plus an additional $1.50 for each new coal, and $8 to change flavors....We could not even HAVE a hookah until we bought food/ drinks, at least $10 worth. I asked to add ice because one of the regulars suggested that we do it and I was told that it was an additional $4 for ice, when I clearly watch the regulars get the VIP treatment the ENTIRE time as we were treated like ugly stepchildren. SMH....again, $4 for some ice??? The food is OK, just OK. It is terribly overpriced and overrated. We had three stuffed mushrooms that had feta cheese and dill in them, they were the size of quarters and we were charged $8. We also had a medium sized spinach pizza for an additional damn near $20. WTF? There were only three of us, please tell me why this was necessary to add on the gratuity to the bill? Restaurant owners dont realize that when they pull this sneaky BS, they only infuriate the customer who intended to tip anyway, and tip WELL. I have worked for tips before myself and I understand the importance of customers tipping. My plans were to give our not-so-helpful server at least $20.00 for his efforts because he seemed pretty overworked, but when they pulled that built in gratuity stunt, I was sure to make sure I had enough change for the EXACT AMOUNT due. 2. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A MUST... The people working in the lot are the first faces that represent the venue when the customers arrive (us). They shouldnt be rude or make people feel offended or not welcome. Our server was rude, rude, rude..... This guy, tanned complexion, short haircut, red shirt...walked with a limp, NEVER SMILED THE WHOLE NIGHT. He was an utter jerk to say the least and I hope he takes his minimum tip that he got and buys himself a joint with it. He didnt want to work, he didnt want to answer questions, and he clearly didnt want to be there. It took us forever to get our food, my friend NEVER got her drink...the Turkish customers next to us that knew the people working there had to get up and go request her drink for her after 25 minutes. He asked us if we needed anything else about 20 times and everytime he asked, we ordered something else....OKAY I get it! You want us to continuously spend money while we are here...so we did that. After about 3 hours of us being there and still spending money (guess we didnt spend enough), the server then proceeds to bring us our check...AFTER I told him to give me a second to decide on what I would be adding to the bill..... I told him as I left, "I know you are putting us out, but thats okay...", he said to me aggressively and rude, "There is a limit on the seating!!..." Apparently me and my girlfriends were not high rolling enough and he decided to make our table available to someone else that may be spending more. We ate, we drank, we bough a hookah and several coals to keep our $22 investment going, can we not stay and finish it up since we DID pay for it?? WTH? We were not rude, loud, or obnoxious. We asked a few questions at first because my friends were new there and I had been there only once before, but thats it. Wow.

We feel we need something different to introduce to our friends. Our hair stylist is from Turkey and she says this is the best place for Turkish food and musics. So my partner and I invite four of our friends. A simplistic but very ethnic setting inside, decorated with unique lamps. You will sit on the mattress on the floor and lean against wall if you like. They have a beautiful belly dancer performs solo almost every half an hour. Feel free to rise up and dance with her in the rhythmic and lively music. It really makes my evening after a stressful week. They serve Turkish beers, wines, cocktails, and Turkey Bombs, as well as soft drinks. I order a lamb sautee, with olive as a side. The lamb is diced in small piece and sauteed with vegetables in garlic tomato sauce. It goes well with rice, too. The sauce is creamy and the lamb is warm. What a dish for a cold late fall evening. Its getting very crowded after 9PM. People arrive dress nicely and bring more happiness. The music volume is up and diners start to dance around. And then, there comes the Gangnam Style. Wow, it stirs up the whole restaurant. People jive, DJ claps hands, servers busy running with food and drinks, and crowds form a line in waiting area cant wait to look for an empty space..... Its hot hangout place in Decatur. The food are good, and the price is very reasonable. I look forward to going back again soon.

I never write reviews but I just had to. This used to be a nice place to visit a few years ago and with reasonable prices. We visited again a few days ago and we had the most terrible experience. To begin with we had reservations and we got to the place early for dinner, the place was almost empty and we asked to sit at a certain table and the manager was very rude about it and didnt let us because he said they had all the tables reserved already. We left at 11 pm and not even half of the place was full. The server was not friendly at all and looked like he didnt even want to be there. When our food came out it was totally different from what the menu said and from what it used to be and when I asked the server he said that they were doing it differently now. The belly dancer was supposed to start at 8 pm and she didnt get there until 10 and only danced for a few minutes and said she wasnt coming out again until 45 minutes later. The place was dirty and had literally the same dirty old pillows since they opened. The food is overpriced and they also added 20% tip for a party of 4. Needless to say I am very disappointed, will not recommend this place to anyone and well never be going back.

Never in my life have I been to a restaurant that was this bad. The service was the worst. It took 45 mins for the waiter to bring us water and 2 hours after being seated we finally got our food and it was wrong. another 30 mins went buy before we could get him to fix it. We we got what we ordered my lamb was very fatty and tough and everyone elses was WAY under cooked. During all of this we couldnt have a conversation with each other because of how loud the music was. I do like loud music but this was unbearably loud. Our hookah Coal went out and we could not get someone to replace it. When we got our bill 3 hours after being seated the waiter had added in a 20% tip even though there were only 5 of us. But he had better be glad he did because he would not have gotten on penny of my money. I will never go to the place again you are better off buying your own hookah offline and eating Mcdonalds I promise the service will be better and so will the food.
