“ Absolutely incredible – we feel so lucky to have found this place! Years ago, a Turkish engineer who moved to the island decided to open this little gem, bringing authentic flavors from home to a faraway shore. The Food: They serve real Turkish dishes, and here’s what makes it special – on the island, most places use a different type of meat, I believe it’s bison, which doesn’t quite match the taste we’re used to. But this restaurant goes the extra mile: they have a special butcher who provides meat that suits the Turkish palate perfectly. The Star of the Show: Once a week, they fire up the döner — and trust me, it’s worth planning your visit around it. Juicy, flavorful, and exactly how it should be. The People: The owners, a lovely couple, are always smiling and incredibly helpful. They don’t just serve food; they serve warmth and hospitality, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a friend’s home rather than just another restaurant. Final Thought: If you’re Turkish and visiting the island, this place will feel like home. If you’re not Turkish, it’s the perfect chance to taste the real thing. Either way, you’ll leave with a full stomach and a happy heart. ”
“ Delicious Turkish food especially loved their pastry and bread. Highly recommended borek, pide, manemen and kebab with gravy. Borek pastry is so fragrant and tasty. The gravy from kebab and manemen is delicious as its full of herbs and feels like healthy homecook food. The mushroom soup is not thick and different. Not my type of liking. All the bread served is really soft and fragrant. It's a little hot inside in the afternoon as very limited wall fans, no air cond and no ceiling fan. ”
“ Friendly owner who was very welcoming to my family with elderly and young kids. Food was authentic and freshly made. Took a while but we didn't mind. ”
“ This cute lil cafe set in Kuah, serves authentic turkish meals. The owner is the most interesting person we met in langkawi. Breakfast was amazing, well prepared and presented. The ingredients used were so fresh and tasty. We definitely recommend eating here. ”
“ Absolutely fantastic! Me and my friend were drinking the last night and didn’t feel very alive. So we were walking down the street at like 2pm and looking for a cold beer to help us fix ourselves, we asked a woman that maybe she knows, it turned out perfectly, we met this amazing lady who said with great hospitality that boys come here I have a place that has cold beer. After the first cold beer we felt a bit hungry, then we made the best choic we could ever make. Order tomato soup! I do not have words for how great it was, its simple yet so amazing. Tasted wonderful, we came back the same day 2 hours later to even order more. This is by far the best soup that I have eaten in a long time. ”
“ The guy is an original. Try the welcoming Turkish tea and Thursday is the lamb kebab döner day. Super friendly and warm atmosphere. We ordered a dinner table a few hours earlier and did not have to wait for the food preparation. Dinner for seven was served perfectly. Thank you. ”
“ Alert this place is vegetarian friendly. This was one of the best dining experience we had in Malaysia. This is a small cafe with some games to keep the kids engaged. Except the waiting time(took 30+ min) it was just perfect. We ordered pizza and pastas and it was really good. The taste was good and everything was fresh. Would visit it again. ”
