" After hearing great things about Kismet, I finally paid a visit. Overall, I was impressed with the atmosphere and staff friendliness. I ordered the cheese pide, which was tasty, but I expected a stronger flavor profile. The steak doner was huge and very filling—the meat was well-cooked, but I wished for a tad more seasoning. My only complaint would be that the wait for the food was a bit lengthy, even though the restaurant wasn't too busy. It didn’t ruin the experience, but I would be cautious about timing if visiting again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kismet Turkish Restaurant is a lovely establishment in a pretty neighborhood! On my last visit, I was impressed by the delicious adana kebab and the quality of the complimentary bread was on point. The service was warm although a tad slow. My only irritation was that the kunefe dessert arrived at the end of the meal—would've been lovely to enjoy while still warm. Overall, I enjoyed my evening. The portions were quite generous, and I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Kismet after hearing all the good things about it, and the experience did not disappoint! I had the chicken shawarma platter, which was delicious! The portion was huge and satisfying. The service was friendly, with our waiter making great recommendations. The restaurant ambiance was cozy and had a touch of elegance. Overall, a wonderful dining experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kismet Turkish Restaurant seemed to be hyped for good reason! The atmosphere was lively and inviting, perfect for an evening out. I particularly enjoyed the Adana kebab—it was spicy, juicy, and everything I had hoped for. The portion sizes were generous, easily enough for two if you aren't overly hungry. We sat on the back patio which added a charming vibe to our dinner. The service was prompt and attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout the night. If you love authentic Turkish flavors, this place should be on your list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Kismet for a quick bite, and while the food was decent, I found it didn't quite have the authenticity I long for when dining at a Turkish restaurant. I had the beef doner, and while it was large and filling, I felt it lacked the punch of flavor and texture that I expected. The fries accompanying the meal could have been better, a bit stale for my taste. However, the service was efficient and friendly, and the interior was clean. The back patio looked inviting, and I might give the restaurant another try sometime just to see if it's better on a busier day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite impressed on my first visit to Kismet! The drinks were refreshing, and the dishes we ordered were authentic and satisfying. I loved the chicken kebab—it was juicy and thoughtfully spiced. The ambiance in the back patio was perfect for a relaxed evening. My only complaint was the wait, as they were busy, but I’d say the food definitely made it worth it. I’ll return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kismet Turkish Restaurant is a delightful little gem! I brought my family here last week, and we were thoroughly impressed. The kids enjoyed the chicken shawarma, and my partner loved the beef kofta. We all shared a delicious plate of mezze with warm pita bread that was just divine. The restaurant was clean and had a lovely ambiance with decorative touches that made us feel right at home. The service was also top-notch; our server was very patient with my kids. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and we will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)
