Food was amazing! The chicken kabob had a lovely marinade and was very moist. The hummus is well seasoned. Pita was fresh and warm. Staff was very friendly Would definitely recommend stopping here if you are in the area.

I have been living here in Fairfield 1 1/2 years and this is my favorite food place here in Fairfield. If I don’t have it at least once a week I am not a happy camper!

We lived in Turkey and we're very excited to find a real Turkish restaurant in small town Iowa! The food was fantastic.

I spent a year in Turkey while in the military and it was nice to enjoy some authentic Turkish food in Fairfield Iowa. The lamb kabob was savory and the sides tasty. My very rusty conversational Turkish earned a complimentary cup of Turkish coffee - a stout brew. I'll return when I'm in Fairfield again.
