Best KPortal Reviews
Food is authentic and DELICIOUS. HIGHLY recommend. Place itself is very small and much more made for delivery, but the food is incredibly delicious. Highly recommend the Adana made with lamb and the kanafeh. We got the mixed grill and it was a great way to try a bit of everything. Hummus was great!!! Staff was incredibly kind and friendly
Our favorite Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant! They have incredible dishes that are very authentic and have amazing presentation. Super friendly staff and the food is wonderful. Everything on the menu is a winner!
This cafe is in the heart of Allston. Very busy place, plan ahead and make a reservation. I’ve walked in once thinking we will be fine, we had to return due to the tables all being reserved. From the outside, it looks like a small cafe but this place gets very busy.
We got lahmacun and chicken sheesh kebab. First time trying the Turkish food. It was great. I loved their bread with olive oil dip on the side. The lahmacun was very light and had pizza like crust. I wasnt a fan of babaganous. It’s made up of eggplant and the texture was very much like oatmeal. I also wanted to try their turkish tea. Very similar to the Nepali tea we get back in Nepal. I would try this place again.
This place is an absolute hidden gem. Top quality food, amazing flavor, and a great selection. Service is friendly, but the interior is relatively humble, and there is not much seating. It can be competitive to get a seat here on weekend evenings, but they do a respectable takeout business. Go on a weeknight, or call the place directly and try to make a reservation. Using the Google Assistant to make a reservation has failed me several times here, which is a huge disappointment to arrive and not be able to get seated due to the limited seating capacity. That hurdle aside, I cannot recommend this place enough.
Really small restaurant, but their food tastes so good. Big plate! It was really noisy when we were having dinner there.
Lazuri Cafe offers not only exceptional Turkish coffee but also a delightful array of dishes. The portions here are not to be underestimated (my omelette was seriously huge, made with three REAL eggs), left me pleasantly surprised. Despite the sizable portions, the prices remain incredibly reasonable, making it a great value for money. The service at Lazuri Cafe is another highlight; the chef even crafting a cute smiley face with my omelette. From start to finish, Cafe delivers an exceptional dining experience.
They have easily become one of my favorite restaurants in and around Boston as they are the right combination of what is important to me - or to anyone else obsessed with food, culture, and execution. I had stumbled upon this establishment during my initial visit to Boston prior to the upcoming move and they immediately made it to my permanent-list of forever-patronage. I cannot say it was perfect BUT it was more than good enough to warrant several more (and eventually endless) visits since for both their delightful food and genuinely warm reception. The owners were still always around when this whole thing started and they exhibited great pride in making everyone feel at home - something I completely respect.
Unlike many places I have reviewed in the past, this review is part of the small group of restaurants that I'm only finally writing about after extensively dining here. I can't explain this particular pattern properly but think of it as one's denial that it is even possible to be so amazed to this extent. I started with their gargantuan special that provided leftovers for another day (and still tasted so good with a little nuke time). I slowly but surely went through most of their main menu and was absolutely pleased with each one. The great quality and taste remained constant. They were preparing and dishing each one right. How is this all possible? How can this place just be that good?
First proven observance, owners are great, know their food, and have standards. Second observance, owners not around for the latter part of my journey, certain slacks take place BUT nothing major. I just was able to notice it immediately. Another theory, just throwing it out there, they just hired really amazing kitchen staff - which is definitely going to be true in this case anyways with the food quality - but that also means there has been great management.
I blab.
I do so when I really have fallen in love with a restaurant that I patronage as often as my schedule allows me.
But I blab.
So here it is:
If you crave Mediterranean food and know it, you'll respect the Turkish aspect they provide.
If you crave Mediterranean food and DON'T know it, you'll respect the flavors and touch provided here.
If you crave DON'T crave Mediterranean food, know or don't know it, you may get influenced here by finding the right dish for you here. There is a great range of flavors and texture and I thought it crazy that one of their soups hits home like Mike Tyson at his prime.
I love this place. I seriously LOVE this place.
Thank you for doing it right and thank you always for your wonderful hospitality.
Food was fabulous, delicious and very tasty. Such a wonderful and clean kitchen.
