    Some of the best Turkish food you will find, but very grumpy service. Don't expect to feel welcome like most restaurants in Japan. There is a hidden 300 yen seating fee, for which you get nothing. 'お代わり' pitta bread is charged for, at pretty ridiculous prices.

    オーナーさんは人種差別主義者だ!The restaurant owner is NOT professional and he must NOT talk about politics or religion with customers !! I had a dinner with my Syrian friend at this restaurant, but unfortunately, the racist owner turned our business dinner into a nightmare!! Once he knew that my friend was Syrian, he kept bombarding us with racist remarks and provocative questions: "There are a lot of Syrians in Turkey who make troubles, they should go back to their country and that's why I went to Nagoya just to vote for Kemal Kilicdaroglu ! Are you Sunni or Shia ?! Do you support Assad or the opposition groups?! I hate Erdogan and those support him.....blah blah" for straight 20 minutes ! We couldn't have dinner in peace no matter how hard we ignored him. ..he kept talking and talking nonsense the entire night! The owner must show more respect and consideration for customers. The owner's attitude was absolutely terrible and shouldn't be tolerated in a friendly and international city like Kobe. What a shame indeed !

    This place provide halal food. But I am sorry to say that the meals were not the best of Turkish food that I have ever had (I tried one in Nagoya and one in Osaka, they taste better). The Doner Kebab is a bit too salty for me. Even the vegetable/ salad is also salty (and soury), so I was trapped with the saltiness of these meals. Probably you should request to the chef to make your meals less salt at the first place. But luckily the Chef was kind so gave us discounted price that night. That is why I keep 4 stars for this place.

    A very nice cozy cafe. The owner has been in the business for 27years and the restaurant has been there for 20years. Sometimes he is not in mood but overall, he is a nice person. The service is a bit slow but Baklavas are served hot which is SUPER nice.

    The food exceeded our expectations! It was very authentic and delicious! We tried the chicken, minced lamb and lamb pieces kebabs and all were tender and juicy. I would definitely recommend it for those looking for authentic Turkish kebab in Kobe.

    I went two years ago, and I still remember it as one of the best meals I've ever had. The owner is a legit fellow who has been at this for some time. Highly recommended.

    Beautiful, intricate, and thoughtful! Three words that I think, describe not only the food but also the atmosphere and service here! I had a welcoming experience and enjoyed all the insights the owner, Metin, shared with me. The food was a lovely, rich in flavour, and a refreshing change in ingredients! Highly recommend for anyone who would like to excite their taste buds with a change of flavours. I ordered the stuffed eggplant and the shish kebab and will say that both were packed with flavour! Will definitely be coming back. Thank you for the warm hospitality!

    I visited rather late, and I have a feeling not many people order takeout since the owner seemed a bit surprised. That said, he was kind enough to accommodate my request, and he even gave me a slight discount. The hummus and pita bread were delicious and paired really well with my leftover salad at home. Would like to come back again and try the other dishes sometime :)

👍 It is a long-established Sapporo beer hall in Kobe. It collapsed during the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, but is now operating in a new building. The fried chicken is very delicious and famous. It's the perfect place to have a beer and talk with your friends.
