Some noted
One of the omelettes was so salty it was inedible. The soup was okay enough. Bread was hot but flavorless.
Extremely unprofessional service. The waiter was unfriendly, disorganized, and repeatedly forgot our order.
i had high hopes for this turkish serpme breakfast, but it was such a letdown.

“We enjoyed the food and appreciated the recommendations of our server.”
We enjoyed the food and appreciated the recommendations of our server. It’s a more casual vibe and they have a bakery section that many people stopped at on the way out to get some baklava. It was really good - I tried the pistachio kind!

The food was incredibly authentic, we ordered the Ali Nazek, İskender kebab, pide, and lahmacun, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich and traditional, and the portions were very generous. The staff were also wonderful, super friendly, welcoming, and checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. They also have a wide variety of dessert options that looked amazing, but we were so full we didn’t have any space left to try them. Highly recommend if you’re craving real Turkish cuisine!

“I had such a wonderful lunch here.”
I had such a wonderful lunch here! The atmosphere was great, and the food was incredibly delicious. The accessibility was also excellent because there was ample parking available. The star of the show was definitely the Baklava (the pistachio dessert), which was incomparable to any I've had elsewhere—it was absolutely amazing! The strong coffee and black tea were also very delicious. In addition to the food and ambiance, I must mention our server, Su. They were so friendly and kindly explained the dishes, which made our lunch incredibly comfortable and happy. I will absolutely be coming back soon!

“Delicious and authentic Turkish cuisine.”
Delicious and authentic Turkish cuisine. We had breakfast there and everything was great. Loved the eggs. Simit, breads, cheese, olives, honey and jam, and fruits. Their pide was pretty darn good!

“Stepping into Antepli felt like being transported straight back to Turkey.”
Stepping into Antepli felt like being transported straight back to Turkey! The atmosphere, the food, the warm hospitality—everything came together to give our family an unforgettable experience. We dined family-style, or as Cem Yılmaz would say, with “a lite little in the middle.” 😄 Highly recommend Antepli to anyone craving an authentic Turkish experience right here at home!

“Incredibly savory, nutritious, vibrant Turkish food in a comfortable and friendly, relaxed environment.”
Incredibly savory, nutritious, vibrant Turkish food in a comfortable and friendly, relaxed environment. We had the appetizer combo platter- mouth watering. Then we ordered some kabobs, a lamb shank, chicken chops, and stuffed grape leaves. All was delicious, we will be back. We felt at home as Greeks in this restaurant because the flavors and ingredients were so similar to ours.

Second time eating here and it only gets better. From the tea to the music, and the main dishes to brunch — this place has it all! Would recommend if you want a hearty breakfast and if you wanna try something new. The servers are kind and the ones we had today were exceptional!
