Great service with delicious foods! Tried several different plates, and all were good. Some suggestions, try "Grill mixed meat", "Cold platter appetizer, large", which are great to be shared between 2 (and maybe 3 if not too hard ngry) people. This place never disappointed me. Please keep up...Read More

Best lamb I’ve ever had! The cold dips are all delicious; I didn’t realize how good eggplant could taste before I tried this. Honestly, really good food in a quiet, clean and unpretentious restaurant with friendly service. I’m glad I ran into this place.

Sara Turkish Restaurant offers a cozy ambiance and friendly service. The kebabs were delicious, though some dishes could use a bit more seasoning. Overall, a good spot for Turkish cuisine with generous portions.
