Saray Turkish Cuisine - Vancouver

The portion was big and delicious. I had spicy kebab, 1 skew of kebab with yellow and white rice, wheat rice, salad, hummus, small pita bread and garlic. I recommend this place if you're looking for some Turkish food in town.

I gave three balls instead of two because the food and drink were OK, just not Turkish....at all. The decor might look Turkish, the music and the drinks, even the selection of Raki is authentic, but pretty much that's where the Turkish ends. The service or the food isn't Turkish at all, not that it was poor quality, but it's just not as advertised. A Turkish Kebap does not bleed yellow, if it does bleed at all, it should be red from the (Pul Biber) pepper. Also a Turkish cook would never put rice AND bulgur on the same plate. There were no side plates for the appy's (meze), the pita (pide) bread was cold, like cold from the refrigerator cold, and service was very spotty and seemed disorganized and distant. I don't think any baked goods were fresh, the baklava was walnut not pistachio. Raki was awesome, most of the meze were ok. Good place to go for finger food (meze) and Raki.

The singer on our Friday night visit was very rude to the English speaking guests. She implied to everyone in the restaurant that we should be listening to the music and not talking while she performed. I did not buy tickets to see her perform. I paid money for a nice dinner with my friends. Funny, I was actually listening and enjoying her music until that point. The food was good, the servers were helpful. Sadly, her comment to the crowd put a real downer on the evening. Go somewhere else where you are not publicly chastised by the performer.

We stopped in for lunch and were glad we did. The food was excellent...tasty and reasonably priced. The staff helped us decide what to order since we had never had Turkish food before. I had the spicy beef and it was superb! They also have a great selection of takeout. We will definitely go again!

This is a good place to have an exotic kind of food. The price is good, the service good and the taste of meals different. Very good options for deserts.
