If you are a fan of traditional Turkish food, this place is perfect for you. It has more branches on Bulevardul Ștefan cel Mare si Sfînt 8 and Strada Sarmizegetusa 8, but I personally like the second one more.
If you like spicy food, almost everything there is spicy, even soup, but you can always ask the waiters for a not spicy meal.
The desserts are especially good, and not only the baklava -- I also love the kunefe they make. It is a traditional Turkish dessert that combines salty and sweet tastes. Kunefe is made of cheese and a special syrup, similar to the one they use for baklava, along with some other special ingredients. The owner of the place is Turkish and he brings the ingredients and recipes from Turkey, which is why the food is so tasty. They also treat guests with tea, so do not hesitate to visit the place, it is truly amazing.
