I've been waiting for this place to open forever! It is finally open for business and I was so excited to get my Mediterranean fix. I ordered their falafel sandwich as well as grape leaves. They're lentil soup was the best I've had in a long time.

Pros: +Excellent quality food that is very delicious. +Extensive menu of items from Doner Kebabs, Adena Kebabs, Kofte, sides, rice, fries, Turkish Delights, baklava, and more. They even serve Ayran and Salgam. +Got to try sampler Turkish tea and baklava. +Great service and moderate pricing for a casual restaurant. Cons: -The strip mall is blocked by traffic due to construction sometimes. Final thoughts: If you want good Turkish food, this spot is a great choice in Fountain Valley. Located close to the freeway and has plenty of parking.

Excellent Turkish restaurant in Fountain Valley. Focused menu, top quality and reasonable prices. Baklava, kadayif and other desserts are the best I’ve had in the US. The chef / owner is a dessert specialist with decades of experience and it shows. They use traditional recipes, imported Turkish pistachios and real sugar (no corn syrup bs). They’ve also added “kokorec” (kokoretsi) to the menu on Sundays. I will be back frequently

The food is good and fresh unfortunately their portions (for sides) are so small compared to other mediterranean places in the area. I wish they give you a little more especially for $14.99 for just one kabob

This is one of the most delicious Turkish restaurant around Socal. Their management is very kind and helpful. Everytime we stop there they keep continue to serve same as you expected. I have tried their almost everything they serve and my favorite one is Adana kebab plate for sure. Another part u never see in the other Turkish restaurants, they make their baklava and desserts. Most of the other restaurants they sell frozen baklava but this guys are making baklavas in their kitchen. They also have great baba ganoush and choban salad fresh tea. Best part is their prices is reasonable and it worth every penny you pay.

Definitely best baklava in California. I have been searching for good baklava all over California and Turkish Kitchen is definitely on the top of my list. The flaky layers filled with a generous amount of grounded pistachios leaves the best taste in your mouth. The crunchiness, the flavor and the right amount of sweetness. I ordered several trays of baklava for two large gatherings recently, in one instance over 600 people and in another about 100 people and their baklava got the highest complements. They do offer other sweets such as sutlac(rice pudding) and kataifi but I haven’t tried them yet. They also serve kebabs and traditional Turkish side dishes. The staff is very friendly and restaurant always seem orderly and clean. There are plenty of parking spaces

I'm bummed. This was my most favorite Turkish food in California. Haven't been here in a bit. Ownership changed. Unfortunately the food did too... The shawarma wrap used to be so big I could only eat 1/2 and save the rest for later. It used to be loaded with veggies... Red cabbage. Onions. Purple cabbage, pickles, Carrots and cucumbers... and even more meat with choice of 2 sauce fillings... Unfortunately is about the diameter and length of a Costco hot dog now(see pic)... hardly any veggies or sauce and really greasy. The fries also have some seasoning on it now where before it was just some salt. It had some lemon tang or something... staff was nice. It didn't taste bad... But it wasn't what it used to be.

Delicious food and exceptional service! We ordered the beef doner sandwich, adana kebab, and chicken kebab. The owner was very nice and helpful, and I wish I could give more than five stars. Overall, it was a great restaurant and I will definitely be coming again.
