Turkish Cafe Lounge - Singapore

Delightfully adorned and tucked under the eaves lies this hidden gem. Entering the establishment, you step back in time it's almost an out of body experience with beautiful mosaic tile and lanterns lending aesthetic value with fiery, vibrant energy and a welcoming vibe like no other. We have lived in the area for 23 years and I don't know what rock I have been living under, but we are first time visitors, and this place hit it out of the park in terms of food, service, and ambiance. Having lived in the Middle East for 18 years, we have been in search of amazing Mediterranean cuisine ever since moving to Texas in 2001, to no avail until we discovered Turkish Café and Lounge all these years later. We will definitely be returning here for dinner and possibly Brazilian or Bollywood Night when the venue comes alive in the evening hours! Mom and I opted to sit on the patio. We were greeted by Umit, then promptly seated and handed Menus by our server, Manu. I thought it was really impressive that he took the time to reconfirm my food allergies (mushrooms and eggplants) since unintentional cross contamination occurs at some establishments. Our meal was enjoyable from start to finish so much so, we stayed for two hours. We never, at any time during lunch, felt rushed. We started off with Turkish Mules. The pomegranate seeds lend a delightful flavor. Not tart and not sweet just the right balance. We then ordered the Hummus, Falafel, the Cheese Flatbread, and the Chicken Kebab (which came with 6 chargrilled cubes of chicken, rice pilaf, onion salad, pickled red cabbage, grilled tomatoes and peppers), followed by the Turkish Tea and the Pistachio Kunefe for Dessert. All excellent! Manu ensured we had what we needed during our meal. We chatted with both Umit and Manu and found them to be professional, knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly. Not sure why this place has such low reviews. This was not reflective of our experience and exactly why I tend to take google and Yelp! Reviews with a grain of salt. Dining in is always our preference. Side note: If you opt for take out, keep in mind that your food IS GOING TO GET COLD after you drive home, so don't come on Yelp or Google and leave a review denigrating the restaurant as if it's their fault. This is a beautifully run Family establishment and you would be doing yourself a disservice for not stopping by. There's just something about the vibe and energy here. It's charming, inviting, and the people are delightful. We think we have found our new favorite place! Thank you for having us and we will see you again soon!

Absolutely loved it. Belly dancing and festivities Friday Saturday nights 9 Will go back to experience the fun, I bet the place is hopping! Service attentive and friendly. Comfortable. Indoor outdoor seating. Can accommodate large groups. Looking for something different and well done, come on!! Hookah available. It's mindblowing how enormous the space is. I can't imagine you'd be disappointed.

The Ambiance here is so unique, magical with gorgeous colorful lanterns hanging all over from above, making it moody, romantic, it's just a vibe! Our server was so helpful and full of smiles, Abdul was a sweetheart! Food was amazingly seasoned we left nothing on the plate! We paired it with strawberries cucumber mojito my hubby had the mule, we will definitely come back to try more of their menu!

My friend invited me because they enjoyed the food so much and wow the hummus was amazing very good food. Employees are friendly and helpful, the restaurant was beautiful and clean.

I went to this place for the first time and loved the vibe. The food is excellent, with a wide variety. plenty of drink options. They also have shisha with multiple flavors. The atmosphere is fantastic; the lighting is the best part, with mosaic lights from Turkey all over the place. There is live music and dance on weekends. I ordered their babagonush with pita bread, hummus, falafel, and a pot of tea .pita bread was freshly made and was soft; I wouldn 't say I liked the taste of falafel, but their hummus and babagounush are delicious and flavorful. I also ordered their shisha with a flavor of Turkish delight that comes with a base of milk that was good, so we went ahead and ordered another shisha, Double apple, and rose, which we did not like as much. I enjoyed the tea. The ambiance was good, and the seating place was huge. If you are planning a fun weekend, I suggest a reservation.18% tip is directly included in the receipt! They call it a service charge Be careful not to tip twice. They are expensive in comparison to another Turkish cafe.
