Good authentic Turkish food. Service was amazing, very attentive. Loved the store next door with Turkish and Mediterranean products.
I'm from Greece and have been to Turkey many times, had food there and one thing I have to tell you is this place IS authentic!!! Turkish natives operate it, the plates are even imported from there. I had the lamb kebab and my partner had chicken gyro, that was from the spit!!! Delicious, aromatic it was incredible. I can't wait to come back. I recommend the cheese rolls and the cacic.
What a surprise to come across this awesome Turkish restaurant near Princeton, NJ!! What a gorgeous setting that's extremely clean w/outstanding service! Started out w/eggplant appetizer and it was delicious! The main dishes were Chicken Kebab, and Adana Kebab - wow both were excellent (comes w/rice)! I must say, Turkish cuisine and hospitality is truly hard to beat ! Highly recommend this place - only 3 years young and looks fabulous! Enjoy casual dining downstairs and more formal w/reservations recommended for the spacious upstairs dining . Oh and just next door you will find a Turkish Butcher shop along w/Turkish groceries - Very convenient indeed!!
Superb fast service which was great as it was lunchtime. Nothing special inside when it comes to decor but the food was very good. Will come again.
Truly authentic Mediterranean cuisine. The staff was nice and cordial! The restaurant was clean and inviting! Started with Grape leaves! They are served cold here and were good! I sampled the hummus and it was good enough to order! Fresh and prepared well! I ventured out and had the manti! We think they put too much yogurt on it as my guest who frequent there often stated it was a lot! The mixed pickles were good as well!! My only challenge would be the prices of the items. Some were very over priced and I hope they reconsider! $10 for the mixed pickles? Cmon! They were good but the quantity was not $10 good! I will certainly go back! Quality food and the service was good! Enjoy!
After our daughter's doctor appointment, we decided to go for an early dinner. We were bored with the food choices in Princeton and I remembered wanting to give this place a try. So, off we went. The restaurant is simple but elegant, with the brick walls being adorned with elaborate artwork. A shelf on the leftmost wall has "cubbies" filled with cultural items and beautiful sconces line the brick wall in the dining area as well. Above the restaurant hangs an absolutely gorgeous chandelier too. We ordered the following: Small mixed cold appetizers- this was a mix of all the cold appetizers on the menu. We liked it a lot and thought it was a nice touch because we got to try everything on the menu for that section. Mixed grill - this was a combination of lamb shish kebab, gyro and grilled chicken. It also came with a side of rice. This was delicious as well. IM usually not a fan of lamb but this was delicious and not gamey. Gyro was nice and the chicken was surprisingly soft even though it was white meat. Usually, I'm disappointed with the chicken because white meat is usually tough but this place knew how to keep their chicken soft and juicy! Lastly, we had the grilled octopus and this blew us away! It was herby and delicious ! This was surprising soft as well. We were bummed that there wasn't more when we were done. Daughter and I also ordered unsweetened iced tea leaf. I was a little disappointed at being given a bottle of Pure Leaf unsweetened iced tea. I was hoping that it was freshly made but it didn't damper my mood. Everything was delicious and freshly made. Service was pretty quick and efficient. Will definitely return to try other items on the menu!
Amazing flavorful food, excellent service and casual atmosphere. My husband and I loved our experience here and will definitely be returning. One of the better middle eastern spots in the area! I ordered the Chicken Adana and loved it! The portions are big, so chances are you'll have leftovers to enjoy the next day too!
PROs - ambience , food (meat) , location , parking , service CONs- pricey , veggie food First timer . We were craving Mediterranean food and stopped by this restaurant. I was googling and found this with good reviews . From outside , the restaurant looked OK . But when we went inside , we saw the magnanimity of this restaurant. Ufff . Looked huge . Lots of tables to sit and eat . And to add more space , there was also 2nd floor . Loved the ambience . Service was good . Located right on RT 1 ! Nice location . We ordered food to go and it took them 20-30 mins to prepare . The food was surely PRICEY ! About 20-30$ per head . Felafel was average . It was soggy and tasted average . Shewarmas were good though. Kids also ate and they liked it . It is a slightly high end based on the price . Had a good experience overall except for the price .
Kapadokya, located in Monmouth Junction, provides a relaxed and inviting atmosphere paired with attentive service. The restaurant impresses with its freshness, especially notable in the appetizers. The Lamb Adana and lamb chops are both succulent and exceptionally flavorful. Although the Spinach Manti is enjoyable, the yogurt might be a bit overwhelming for some. While desserts may not be everyone's favorite, Kapadokya is highly recommended for a delightful dining experience--a great spot to gather with family and friends, earning an overall rating of 4.5 stars.
Came to pick up a small falafel plate (with fries and feta cheese) for dinner recently. It was supposed to take 20 minutes, but it was ready in less than 15 minutes, which was a good sign. Unfortunately, traffic along Route 1 is awful and I ended up arriving around the original time. Parking is there, but not being there in the nighttime made me forget that additional parking exists on the side. Therefore, I ended up sandwiching my car between a tight space not realizing there's more space. Just one thing to keep in mind. I received 4 falafel balls, which was more than plenty for me. The tahini was plentiful and the pepper dip had enough of a pizzazz to add to the flavor. There was plenty of feta cheese (on the side above the salad), which I was generally able to mix in easily. There is some kick at the bottom with the pepper, so be mindful of that and mix the feta and tahini in there wisely. The fries itself weren't as memorable, but I thought I'd say the same with the rice, so I opted for the former. I was surprised to receive a pita as I had anticipated to warm up some pita bread at home. It wasn't necessarily warm, but it was soft and fresh. For $18 (additional $3 for the feta), it's pricey, but at least the food is quite good. I've always been curious for a proper vegetarian option here and I think the falafel does it for me.
