We had an unforgettable experience at this wonderful restaurant! From the moment we entered the venue, we were greeted with a warm atmosphere and a hospitable welcome. Especially the belly dancer show that left its mark on the night was absolutely magnificent! The belly dancer enchanted all the guests with both her grace and energy and literally excited everyone. We couldn't sit still throughout the night thanks to the belly show, we reached the peak of the entertainment. Not only the entertainment, the food was as impressive as the show. The appetizers were fresh and varied, especially the hummus and haydari were our favorites. In the main courses, Ali Nazik and Adana kebab and beef shish were just the right consistency, the meat was tender and delicious. The kunefe we ​​tried for dessert was crispy and had the right amount of syrup. In short, we had a full evening that appealed to both our palate and our soul. I wholeheartedly recommend it to those looking for fun, those longing for delicious Turkish cuisine or anyone who just wants to have a pleasant evening. We can't wait to go again!

I ordered the Chicken Shish Plate, and it was absolutely delicious! The Turkish decor added a lovely cultural touch, creating an inviting atmosphere. I was also pleasantly surprised by the washroom, it was spacious, spotless, and featured a bidet. What really stood out was the baby changing station: instead of the usual plastic fold down type, they had proper, well designed furniture for it. Every detail, from the food to the cleanliness and decor, reflected genuine care and thoughtfulness. The ambiance could use a little refining to match the rest of the experience, but after a long day, dining here was a truly relaxing experience.

We tried out this place for the first time recently. We got the Adana kebab and the beef shish plates. Service is really good and they make sure you’re taken care of. However, the food portions were much smaller than other Turkish restaurants for the same price and you have to pay for bottled water (no tap water option). Also we felt the meat was dry and chewy. Overall a good experience but lacking in portion size and taste.

Took my family to MAWLANA Afghan & Turkish Cuisine and had an amazing experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic—especially the kabobs and bread. Service was warm and attentive, and the new ownership has done an outstanding job improving everything from quality to atmosphere. Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back!
