What People Are Saying About Taksim
The Owner
Taksim
Owner
The dishes offered at Taksim are from traditional Turkish recipes and you will enjoy the flavors and the sophistication in everything you order. You may start you meal from a large selection of delicious mezes followed with simply seasoned grilled meats or home cooked styled entrees and you should surely end you dining experience with the ever popular Kadayif (shredded wheat stuffed with pistachios) accompanied with a potent cup of Turkish coffee. But whatever you do, don't miss the Smokey Eggplant Salad and Tarama (fish roe spread) as appetizers and Musakka or Doner Kebab (gyro) for your main course.

I simply loved it there! The food tastes really like a homemade one, so delicious!!!!! Every single dish that I tried surprised me and the best thing, the price was very very good. I always go with my baby in a stroller and they treat us nicely and very kindely. I feel at home there! Try the baked rice pudding, it is amazing! And to finish, order a turkish tea, because even a simple tea is special in this place!

Taksim has some pretty good dishes, but for the price, the portions are minuscule. An entree here is the size of an appetizer elsewhere. It's a pity, because I live in the area and like the food, but they basically give you a sandwich's worth of meat, add rice, call it an entree and charge $12+ for it. We order out all the time and would love to add taksim to the usual rotation, but its not enough even for my wife, who's a very light eater. For that matter, their sandwiches are incredibly expensive too. If you like this type of food, head downtown to Bereket on Houston. Better food, lower prices, generous portions, and open 24 hrs. Taksim won't last long here.
