Hunkar Mediterranean Turkish Kebab House

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I had been in the restaurant business until recently for about 15 years. I like dining out a few times a week and trying new places. Hunkar was a real find for me when I first tried their food a few years ago and it’s been one of the few places I keep going back since then. Kofte and piyaz are my favorites. They have the best lamb shish kebab I've ever had anywhere. The staff is down-to-earth. The space is very comfortable and their music is always relaxing. I tried zucchini pancakes (mucver) when I was there last time for lunch. It was terrific. I naturally tend to check the cleanliness in every restaurant I go probably because of my background in the restaurant business and I should say that Hunkar is the cleanest restaurant I’ve ever seen. I don’t know how they manage to keep their silverware, china and glasses so clean and spotless. It is an important indication because it tells a lot about the handling of the food and the rest of the equipment in the restaurant.

I’m very surprised to see a negative review about Hunkar involving the meat delivery. First of all, I think we are supposed to review the restaurant here not the delivery people or their van. Secondly, I don’t think the negative reviewer has ever been to Hunkar before. Because if he did, he would see how his comments about Hunkar and their food sound prejudicious. (I guess he is just a jealous competitor trying to find excuses to defame Hunkar).

I’m very comfortable recommending Hunkar to everybody.

I absoletely love it. If you care for the Mediterranean taste in a family environment, I hightly recommend that you find it out by yourself by going there. The kitchen is in a open setting that you can browse and have a quick chat with the owner+chef.

I never cared for Turkish cuisine until I went to this place and discovered true culinary perfection. Holy cr*p, this was good! Try the Iskender or Doner kebob along with a shepherd salad and see how good food (not just Turkish food) can be. Try it once and you'll be going there forever. GUARANTEED! This is no joke, people. It will climb to the top of your list.

btw, I don't know anything about the verity of the meat delivery review, but I am almost ready to say that this would not affect my opinion one bit, and that the reviewer (observer)would be a convert if he ever actually tried dining there! And doesn’t the meat get washed and then cooked (with germs killed) anyway after it is brought in? And if the food comes from a delivery van, then shouldn’t we be probing the delivery people and not Hunkar and its staff??

Bottom Line - A CAN'T MISS DINING EXPERIENCE
