Well-liked Turkish spot known for standout lahmacun, friendly hospitality, and broad menu, but expect small portions, extra charges for bread, and prices that feel high to some diners.
Safir Mediterranean delivers strong food quality anchored by expertly executed lahmacun and grilled octopus, supported by attentive, hospitable service. However, inconsistent execution (dry chicken, oily pide, portion variability) and isolated but notable food safety incidents prevent a higher grade. The warm neighborhood setting and loyal following reflect solid execution, but value concerns and reliability gaps keep this from grade A- territory.
One caveat: Pricing is on the high side for Turkish casual, with several portion-size complaints
