Turkish Greek Cafe - Baton Rouge

Not sure how this plate earned a 4.8 star rating. We showed up for lunch, place was empty except for one person in the kitchen and and person waiting for a to-go order.Lots of dirty tables with plates of unfinished food. But the guy behind the counter said he couldn’t do table service ..? because he was there alone.We thought ok, we’ll order something to go.We stood at the counter for 5 minutes, while he talked to someone in the kitchen with his back turned to us.I doubt he even noticed as we walked out the door.

Definitely a place to check again. The Kebab was great! Not to mention the tea….

Must try! Excellent food! Adana Kebab was delicious! I lived in Turkey for 2 years....very authentic food! Oh and the Turkish coffee...PERFECT!!!!

The food was absolutely delicious. You’ve gotta try the lamp chop! The Turkish tea pot was another great choice for our visit. Well freshly served in Turkish style tea set and tasted great. Not to mention those fresh baked baklavas were phenomenal!The boss/chef was super friendly. He makes sure the food he brings to your table is made with love and respect!

Most authentic middle eastern cuisine I’ve ever had. The Turkish tea is phenomenal, both of the tea set and the taste are impeccable. We ordered the lamb chop, chicken shawarma and lamb&beef shawarma combo. The lamb chop is delicious, juicy and seasoned perfectly.Aside from the food, the owner is very nice and eager to help. He recommended the dishes for us and introduced the authentic Turkish dessert baklava. We end up ordered the baklava, which turned out to be the great finale of the night. Owner said he made the baklava himself from the scratch, it’s definitely the best baklava I’ve had in years. The sweetness is just right.Generally speaking, this restaurant is a hidden gem that definitely deserves people to come back for.
