    Head to this hidden gem. Tuba makes some of the best Turkish food in town, is family-run, and is exactly the kind of place where your parents will find themselves bonding with the gregarious owner. Read more

    Looking for healthy eat out options? Come to this awesome Mediterranean food joint. Friendly environment and excellent food. I had the best hummus and best grilled fish tonight. Highly recommend!

    I wish we had such a good genuine Turkish cuisine in Seattle. Probably one of the best Turkish restaurants in the US. Try ceviz ezmesi, beyti and kunefe. (Review by a Turkish guy)

    Cold meze platter is really good, specially the Dolma. I totally loved Karniyarik for main course, it's very similar to Moussaka. Ordered the Turkish coffee and the server did a small trick for us.

    I had the İçli Köfte, Hünkar Beğendi, and the Künefe for dessert. They were all incredible. The owners are very warm and welcoming with a matching atmosphere. I can't stop talking about this place.

    Authentic Turkish food with one of the best pita breads in town! Particularly enjoyed their service - felt right at home :)

    The Cevizli Ezme (walnut and red pepper paste) cold meze is absolutely delicious

    Very good food. The cold meza consisting of spicy red pepper (forgot the name) is amazing. The kunafi (dessert) is a bit disappointing (way too sweet)

    Turkish coffee is so good and comes with a couple little Turkish delights. Of course, kunefe is bomb.

    Get the cold meze combo -- a little bit of everything and unlimited house made bread.

    The Turkish coffee, appetizers and eggplant with beef were all excellent. Great service too. Nice, small place.

    Cold meze sampler is the best appetizer! The beyti wrap was OK. Get a bottle of Yakut red wine for the best pairing for just about anything.

    You can make a great meal out of appetizers. Get the meze plate, the cigars and the burgul meatballs.

    Amazing food. Great flavor. Especially the shrimp with asparagus (the sauce!) and the künefe for dessert.

    It's really rare to find 'manti' in Turkish restaurants as it's more like a home-food. They serve it in Tuba and it's delicious!

    Really cozy atmosphere and all of the good staples: manti, kufte kebab, moussaka, dolmas, tarama salata... And Efes beer

    The cold meze is totally a meal for two on its own, especially with unlimited bread.

    Get the beyti. It's fantastic. And they may well have the best hummus in the city.
