We had a reservation here for my birthday and it was wonderful! Despite the winter weather, the restaurant was quite busy so definitely make a reservation. Our server was kind and attentive and even brought us a dessert and cocktails to celebrate my birthday. It was a nice touch and the food was phenomenal!

“Was the best brunch I’ve had in a while!”

Was the best brunch I’ve had in a while!! The Anatolian Bfast for two was more than enough for three of us, and the stuffed dates were to DIE FOR!! The staff was so awesome and really cared about our experience and how we enjoyed the food. They even brought us a free slice of coconut cake at the end of the meal 🥹 was delectable!! I will be going back for sure.

“Unassuming location, but really great Mediterranean food at a very reasonable price.”

Unassuming location, but really great Mediterranean food at a very reasonable price. The sampler of mezzo was tasty, and the lamb chops were tender and delicious. Service was quick and pleasant. We sat outside in the evening and it wasn’t too loud from Belmont traffic and was a nice ambiance from the lights as it gets dark. We’d definitely go again.

“Went to Avaspi last Sunday for brunch and loved it.”

Went to Avaspi last Sunday for brunch and loved it! The place is beautiful inside, and the service was great. Our server, Ozgur, was super friendly and checked in on us a lot. The Goat Cheese Tomato Dip and Coconut Cake were our favorites — both were so flavorful and perfectly balanced.

“Avaspi deserves the average 5 stars it has on reviews.”

Avaspi deserves the average 5 stars it has on reviews.. Everything!! including their plain white rice (I don’t think it’s plain) tastes so delicious and so flavorful. Their Kebobs are the most tender and juicy, the Soujouk Menemen breakfast for two, Olive Calamari (Not battered), Stuffed dates, Turkish Espresso Martini - I will be back again and again to try everything on the menu! This was my second time and I’m glad they’re maintaining the high standards they set the first time. So Impressive! They also gave our group lovely Baklava complimentary! Their staff is setting a very high standard in service and hospitality. They’re a class apart.

“Just had a lovely birthday dinner at Avaspi.”

Just had a lovely birthday dinner at Avaspi. Service was impeccable, and the decor was perfectly suited for a fancy but unpretentious ambiance. The creative menu absolutely delivered on flavor! Unfortunately we went straight for the kebabs forgetting to photograph first, but featured are the halloumi, calamari and stuffed mushroom tapas, as well as three desserts (katmer, kunefe and coconut cake). Everything was delectable!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible evening at AVASPI.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an incredible evening at AVASPI! From the start, the reservation process was effortless—they even accommodated us when we needed to push our time back by 30 minutes. This romantic Turkish restaurant is designed for a special night out, and it truly delivered. The standout dish for us was the calamari. It’s rare to find it prepared without breading and frying, and here it was executed perfectly—the garlic and olive base let the natural flavor of the calamari shine. Absolutely beautiful. We also shared the hummus sampler, which was layered with flavor. Each of us had a different favorite, but together the platter was outstanding. The cocktails were equally impressive, especially the Turkish coffee martini, complete with a dramatic smoke bubble presentation. The staff went above and beyond, even offering us tastings of different wines when our group couldn’t decide—such thoughtful, accommodating service. We dined outside, and the atmosphere made it the most enjoyable evening. If you’re looking for a romantic, memorable dining experience with authentic flavors and warm hospitality, VASPI is a must.
