    We went with a small group of friends for my husband’s birthday— The afternoon of the reservation they called to ask if we’d just be dining or if we planned to partake in hookah (we were just dining) so they could be sure to sit us in the appropriate area. It was a little loud as there were several large parties there) and sometimes difficult to hear the server to order, but outside of that it was a fantastic evening. There was a belly dancer, DJ, and a sparkler on my husband’s dessert. I had ordered a salad with falafel as my entree and it came out a little early because the kitchen was backed up. Our server noticed, took it back to the kitchen and got fresh falafel so it would come out with everyone’s else’s meals. I didn’t ask him to do this, he was just thoughtful. This experience far exceeded our expectations of going out for the evening with friends. I would definitely recommend.

    Our waiter delivered salad and appetizer, then disappeared for 45 minutes. Another waiter noticed and came to save our Valentine’s meal. Very disappointing whenninsawe 18% gratuity was included. I normally tip 25-40%, but didn’t want to leave the original waiter, who showed up to deliver the check. I cash tipped the one who helped me and let the included 18% for the slouch. We will not come back or recommend!

    The service, ambiance and food were all superb. This restaurant is a little off the main busy area and you can tell from the many Turkish patrons that the cuisine is authentic. We will be returning!

    Better than Rumi’s We have been going to Rumi’s at Avalon. Since it opened. It is a great restaurant but is always crowded and parking is a mess. The food and drinks are as good at The Cafe and no problems at present with crowds and parking is plentiful. They have Turkish wine that us very flood and at bargain prices. We enjoyed the Labne and bread, soups, lamb and eggplant. My wife thinks they have the best bread. We loved our first visit and will be back soon

    My friend and I split calamari and moussaka. Neither were very good and we were disappointed. Our expectations were that the calamari would be crispy but instead it was limp and not fried well at all. The moussaka was pretty tasteless, needed more spice and was just lukewarm. This was my first time there and I knew it was a long standing restaurant in Alpharetta. If you want Mediterranean food Rumi’s is much better.

    Birthday party with family and friends. Great experience, everyone at restaurant was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Food is excellent, different ambiance for different occasion, very culturally diverse, educated, and enthusiastic crowd; energetic music later on the evening, belly dancing too.
