What customers say?

“ Everything was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious from beginning to end. I really recommend the çiğ köfte as a starter, it was perfect. The main course was also incredible, full of flavor and beautifully prepared. For dessert, you should definitely try the irmik, it was the perfect sweet ending. The atmosphere was lovely and the service was excellent. Our waiter Yucel was very friendly and made the whole experience even better. I highly recommend this restaurant and would love to come back again. ”

“ For this foodie & her ever-hungry man, Aila was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had anywhere in the world. First of all, the decor and spaces are exquisite. Soaring ceilings, marble floors, perfect lighting, every detail is beautiful. The food is sublime with elevated, modern Mediterranean flavors. In addition to the complimentary amuse bouche and bread with olive oil, we had: the raw green salad, grilled octopus with handmade couscous, the signature starter Nazuktan (saffron, dried rose, eggplant, urfa pomegranate syrup, and Antakya salted yogurt), starters of grouper and lamb tenderloin. Then, expecting *not* to get dessert.... "Chef's Love" (a white chocolate "soup" with fruits), and the mandarin panna cotta. Michelin guide level attention and service. With a healthy gratuity, equivalent of about US$175. ”

“ Food was fantastic, decor and staff were top notch! A cool place if you want a modern take on Turkish food. That being said it is on the pricey side (but I'd say worth it). ”
