    Looking for Turkish food and this place showed up top rated. Amazing food, great customer service. The food here was very authentic. We lived in Turkey for 2 years and honestly the food here was amazing. Happy to have found it while looking around. Definitely try their doner plates.

    I want to say it’s somewhere between 3-3.5. I really wanted to love this place but I hope they keep improving so that it’ll be the Turkish place to go to. We got: - the Meze platter with hummus, ezme (mashed tomato dip), dolma (rice in grape leaf), sigara borek (feta in phyllo), mucver (pan fried zucchini). This was $35 and did not include any naan which we had to order for an extra $2. I think $35 is easily overpriced for this plate. I know it’s a lot of work for platters but if it’s at that pricing, you should at least include 2 full sized homemade naan. The naan we did order on the side did not amount to even a whole naan at most other places. The hummus could have been bumped up a notch with grilled garlic or some seasoned oil or something— it was nothing special. I did like the sigara borek and my partner loved the zucchini patties. - Pirzola (grilled lamb w/ rice) - for the most expensive entree plate at the restaurant it really missed the mark. The rice was great and I would say was one of my favorite parts of the whole meal. The lamb was cooked okay but needed salt. The salad was missing acid (maybe some citrus?). - sultan’s delight (slow cooked beef) this was my favorite dish and nothing to change here except to provide 2-3 slices of bread. We ordered rice on the side to eat with this one. Service: - Pacing could be better. Everything all came out at once. Appetizer and entrees, so the entrees got cold by the time we got to them. - Waitress basically just got our order, dropped off our food and then didn’t check in on us afterward. Another server/busboy had to flag her down but just got us our check instead. Overall, I’d say there’s a bit of refinement that needs to happen here. You can absolutely keep the price points but you need to make the customer feel like it’s worth it. And it could very well be just a bit more attention to detail/seasoning and to add some cheap bread/carb to make the dish feel complete.

    Adana shish kabob, Anatolian salad and the feta and olives app. Came with pita bread as well very delicious and that rice is perfectly made. The meat was crispy but still very juicy and flavorful not dry. Really enjoyed this meal!

    This place is small but very cute. Love their apple tea, Mücver was really delicious. Hünkar Begendi was ok. I loved their rice. I would come back for tea, dessert, and maybe an appetizer. Very polite staff. Clean place, good atmosphere.

    I would recommend this place. Frankly, I have never been in Turkish restaurants before, so I don't know how it compares to other Turkish places, but if comparing it to regular restaurants it is nice, clean, tasty, and friendly place. Prices are little on the higher side but not too bad. Will be back for more great food!

    Absolutely delicious! So flavorful & authentic! Friendly staff & great atmosphere. The coffee was fantastic (now that I know how to drink it lol) & the tea was unlike any other tea I've ever tasted! The Turkish Delights are yummy, especially the rose ones! The milk pudding is absolutely amazing, also unlike anything I've ever tasted!

    This is my first time at a turkish restaurant. I loved their tea that was served in super cute cups. It was a very unique experience, I'm not used to that food, but it was still delicious. Service was great, very polite staff, found seating for us right away. I would recommend it. Could be a very cute date place.

    It was a great experience with Turkish kitchen! I really liked lentil soup and Bakhlava for dessert, my husband enjoyed lamb chops - very tender and juicy. We definitely will be back soon or I will do a take out for baklava. Service was super fast and friendly! Thank you guys you do everything perfectly !

    Feeling back in Istanbul again! We ordered calamari for appetizer and can’t stop eating it! The goat stew is really good, meat is a little bit dry inside. Chicken Kebab was the highlight of the day, meat is Juicy inside with right amount of spices. Gyro’s meat is slightly on the dry side to me. Overall good good food! Not forgetting my favourite Turks Tea! Will be back again!

    I went here for the first time a few days ago with my boyfriend since it was on the way while we were running errands, and it was DELICIOUS. I am sad that I didn’t know about this place earlier. We ordered the hummus platter, red lentil soup, baklava, and the donër kebab entree. When i tell you that EVERY THING WE ATE was SOO FRESH & DELICIOUS.. I mean it. You can tell it was all home-made and the quality of food was 10/10. The prices were good for the portions & quality of food. Not to mention how fast they brought out the food- we were in and out within 45 minutes. I will definitely be coming back & bringing more people to try it out. New fav food spot!!!

    Mouth watering is what I can say about the food. At least what I ordered. First time to try it out. I was getting more information from my server about the ownership and the place itself. It had been recently renovated and updated. The place is bright and airy. The interior design is fresh and is in style with the food that is served. I ordered the Sigara Borek as my appetizer, Manti for my entree, Limonata ( house made lemonade w/mint), and Kabak Tatlis for dessert. Everything was so delicious. This will definitely be a go to place for me.

    Great place with amazing food and service. It's a small place, so make sure you make reservations if you're going with a big group. They also offer catering services for pick up or drop off. Everything was delicious it was an authentic Turkish experience. Love the Meze Platter because you can pick up to 5 appetizers and taste a little bit of everything. I also ordered the Efes Pilsener, a pale lager Turkish beer. Very good too! For desserts we ordered Baklava and Kunefe, based on our server recommendations and it was on point. The Kunefe is a traditional dessert made with a spun pastry (katafi) soaked in syrup and layered with cheese mmm. I want more!! Can't wait to go again!

    Good food full of flavor. We had the mezzo platter of 5 and the cheese platter, Turkish coffee with Turkish delight (that was amazing), baklava and the butternut squash desert. The atmosphere was nice and the waitstaff was excellent!

    I LOVEEEE Turkish food and this place is unbelievably delicious. Service is fast and super friendly. If you’re looking for something different and fresh in Anchorage this is the spot! The only thing I hate is how limited their hours are. The pictures are falafel and kefta.

    First time visiting Alaska , we are a Turkish couple and just wanted to have some good old Turkish food but did not happen. This place has a great management. 6 tables in total. 3 of them were occupied after they are open for 35 mins. and other 3 were reserved.There was a small bar area also reserved so they could not take us in until 7.30 pm and they close at 8.30 pm however they offered us a take out. So we took our business somewhere else instead and found a great Mexican joint with amazing Fajitas. Thank you for helping us find this place.

    I’ve been couple of times for lunch and dinner, as I am Turkish also, Turkish cuisine is one of the besties of the world by the way, I have to confess that the quality and taste of the meals are same or even better somehow from Turkey☺️ There are also vegan and vegetarian options besides meat. It’s a blessing for Anchorage to have such a great restaurant and great Turkish food🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Good, well-maintained restaurant. Tawuk Cis (Grilled Chucken Breast’) is good. Hunker Begendi (Beef mashed Eggolant) is ok. All staff are friendly.

  • 5/5 Matt B. 9 months ago on Google
    Would give it six stars. It was the best restaurant I have ever been to, everything included. The waiter was super nice and funny that catered to our every need. Food was amazing. It had plenty of flavors and even the lamb kebab and baklava were break taking. New favorite restaurant 👍

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 9 months ago on Google
    The menu has plenty of enticing opportunities and every item we ordered, from appetizer to dessert, was flavorful and well-prepared. It was one of the best meals of our trip to Alaska. The service was cordial enough but a bit inattentive -- we had to wave down the staff both to get our check and to process the payment.

  • 1/5 Hanna Z. 9 months ago on Google
    I used to love eating here. Since new ownership took over, it seems like there’s no soul in the restaurant or the food anymore. The portions were smaller, less flavorful, and more expensive. I would be okay with paying more if the food was still the same old great quality. It feels like corners are being cut in preparation of the food. The pitas are now bought in bulk, the meat tasted like it was not fresh. None of the food was very flavorful and the falafel sandwich, my favorite dish, was very dry and lacked seasoning and flavorful veggies. It feels unfair that all of the old positive reviews meant for the original Turkish Delight have been inherited by this new, soulless restaurant. I’m sad. So sad that I went out for ice cream after eating here. We said our fairwells to Turkish Delight and hit the road.

    We ate here a while ago, and it was great. So we were excited and hesitant at the same time to try it after they renovated and updated the menu with new ownership. I am happy to say that it is amazing! Still! The kitchen is open to the dining area. It's fun to see the and smell the food being prepared, especially the Doner Kebab! For our starters we had the fruit and cheese platter as well as dolmas. Dolmas are Marinated grape leaves stuffed with rice and spices. My personal favorite. For our entrées we had the halal chicken, adana, doner Kebab, and falafel. Everything was incredible! Seriously. Long story short, get the dolmas to start and the doner Kebab. You'll be glad you did.

    SO DELICIOUS! We were super happy to find a reasonably priced and not overly crowded place in anchorage. The food here was fantastic...loved the kofte and gyro. Shakshuka appetizer was also awesome, and the service was great. Highly recommend! Wished we had room for dessert.

  • 5/5 Shopping B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the best-tasting, best-kept dining secrets in all of Anchorage. As a newer business, that open their doors right before the pandemic, Turkish Delight mastered the art of take-out… going you the option of bringing their incredible dishes home with you instead of trying to find a table in the small dining room. That being said, if you are able to secure a seat in their dining room, you will enjoy fantastic service, and then eclectic ambience.

    Wonderful restaurant with authentic Turkish dishes. There is a detailed description next to each one so you can know what you are ordering, in case you don't speak the language. All of our food was delicious and served with large portions. We had ice cream for dessert, and it was unlike anything I've ever had before, very good. The place is rather small and was full the whole time we were there with people standing and waiting for a table. We had reservations, so I recommend you do too.
