What a lovely cafe! The food and drink is wonderful and the staff is super friendly. I am a sucker for a good Turkish coffee and this place delivers in spades!
A small casual establishment with a small selection of very delicious dishes and very attentive staff. I brought my girlfriend for lunch on a Thursday and we had a good time. We had some lentil soup, salad, chicken, kofta and tomato rice. For desserts, Turkish coffees, a baklava and an almond cookie. The dishes were all delicious, including the coffee and deserts. The staff was charming, attentive and brought all the dishes warm and at the right time of the meal. It was a very pleasant lunch. I hope to have lunch again there soon.
I cannot say enough good things about the cooking classes at Social Sloth. They are laid back classes with AMAZING food and a great opportunity to learn some new cooking skills. No judgement for newbies. For our class we made lentil soup and kisir, and they turned out great. I highly recommend this restaurant and their cooking classes!
When I'm craving Social Sloth, I can almost smell and taste the amazing Turkish food from memory. My favorite items are coffee, tea, meatballs, chicken and any dessert. I'm never disappointed. Fortunately, I have gotten to know Burcay and Aybars, who own and operate this amazing Turkish diner. With inviting smiles, they serve delicious, healthy and authentic meals made fresh daily.
This restaurant has some of the best hospitality in town. The food is fresh and flavorful, and when I went in asking if we could get a table for 7, they immediately got to work accommodating our larger group despite the restaurant being a bit busy and not having a ton of space. We felt very welcome and everything we ordered was so good. Can't wait to go back!
Tonight was our first trip, and we really enjoyed it. We sat outside with just perfect weather. The service was super friendly and helpful. The food was the star, though, and that's really the most important thing! We had soup, two different plated meals, and shared a slice of cake for dessert. It was all super flavorful, well presented, and with good portion sizes.
The sweetest place with amazing food! The delicious freshness shines through in every dish! Very home like atmosphere and wonderful hosts behind the counter
A real treasure in an unexpected location. The couple that runs it are welcoming and are passionate about quality food and sharing their culture. I love hearing the chef sing along to Turkish songs while he prepares dishes unique to this area. Casual cafe dining- call ahead if you have a party larger than 4. Check out their website for meal prep and cooking classes. I’m not affiliated at all I just love unique places like this.
