At the corner of Valley and Leo, this locally owned business has tried-and-true Middle Eastern favorites like gyros and kebabs, but there are a few surprises on the menu, as well. My first visit was at lunch. I enjoyed my chicken gyro with spinach. Its easy to revive tough, dry chicken with gallons of tzatziki, but not here! The meat was juicy and flavorful. The tzatziki was fresh and citrusy. If you love spice, get the chili sauce. Not too hateful of a burn, but powerful in heavy doses with a rich taste. The family working here was so polite and helpful as I stumbled through pronunciation of more exotic menu items. Im looking forward to a later excursion so I can try the dinner menu!
It was ok, I order combination gyro plate to go for lunch. I wish the meat had more seasoning and the rice was plain n sticky. However the pita bread was delicious, I wish I could just buy it in large quanities and use at home. The tzatziki was too runny and had no cucumber in it, just tasted like yogurt. Next time I will try something else as the gyro was not my favorite.
I ordered lamb kebab and it was almost all fat no meat..even got a piece of marinated fat!! ordered a flat bread thing with meat and cheese. sooo soggy it was wet n dripping in grease? meat? what meat ?I opened it and it was a couple flakes of what looked like pounded meat resembling lace..and not throughout the thing. tasted like a white castle..not bad but awful presentation..it was the nastiest thing ever.. and I eat a lot of types of food. Glad Ive tasted good Turkish food before this place..otherwise I would have never ordered Turkish again.
I am turkish and always looking for a way to get into my culture. We ate here with the kids and it was a bit expensive for mediocre food. The ladies were very awesome and gave great service!!! no awhole lot of authentic turkish food and i am not sure if i would be a repeat customer. But what we did eat was good.

2020-12-26Halal restaurants get 3 and above, delicious food another star, but very small and little size for the price... Time management for proper serving and value to customer must improve to receive a 5. Price on our menu different than the one used by the cashier... Nice and polite people, highly recommend supporting halal restaurants βοΈπ Definitely, well visit again..

2021-01-03I loved this place! Such a nice place to go with family or friends. I like that they are extra cautious about the cleaning and sanitizing chairs and tables. Thats why I felt very safe and pretty comfortable while enjoying the delicious foods.They are also very nice and welcoming people, we will visit soon again for the other stuffs that I havent tried yet π

2019-02-19We heard there are turkish population in north dayton, Thought we may find authentic turkish restaurant. We found Rasuls turkish delights in google and made the trip their. Its not the best place in town to be at 8:00 PM but when youre hungry you do crazy decisions sometimes.The place is very clean, it reminds me in the small Syrian villages I visited in 2009.The Adana kebab that comes with rice, salad and bread was very good and the lady serving recommended the hachapur bread stuffed with beef was very good, the gentleman in restaurant dont speak English but he was very kind to offer us free tea pot. Well come back for sure!!

2018-12-28First, let me explain that to me 3 stars means a good experience...good food, clean, just not fancy or extravagant. This was an off- the- beaten-path culinary experience for us based on a Google search while on a road trip. The unassuming restaurant was clean and spartanly furnished, accented by colorful Turkish chandeliers. The food was ample, tasty and nicely presented. The staff (owners?) were courteous and seemed ready to please. The samsas were lovely, the pastry wrappers baked to a glossy golden brown. The beef kabob had a rich savory flavor (we shared the kabob plate...with the samsas it was enough for 2 not-raveous diners).The tea was served in a insulated pot which kept it warm for the duration of the meal and the gold-trimmed glass demitasse elevated the simple green tea to the elegant level.Many people, who appeared to be Turkish or other middle-Eastern origins stopped for take-out which to us indicated the food is deemed by the locals to be good and authentic. Overall, a pleasant experience...good food, clean, simple ambiance...

2021-12-05I went in to ask the people who own and work here if I could get a small sample plate to try and they gave me one I told them if they gave me a sample plate I would put in a five-star recommendation and give them a really good compliment on Google maps as a local guide. The food was delicious but kind of messy as I walked out and around the neighborhood. The store was very clean though it didnt have anybody inside of it this is probably a better place to go for a lunch brunch or a quick dinner pickup the lady was really nice though could probably use more training with hospitality and the English language.
