The place, the food and the service was good. The food was very delicious! but there was only person to take care of the front store and probably one in the kitchen. It was so hectic for the server to do everything. He tried to manage everything his friends, overwhelming crowd, and getting the food from kitchen. I went there on 28th of August at 4pm and the place was fully packed.
We had a fantastic dining experience at Turkish Big Bite! The food was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The service was great as well, and Diana took excellent care of us. While the serving time was a bit longer, we understand that fresh, high-quality food takes time to prepare. That being said, a little improvement in speed would make the experience even better. Overall, a wonderful place for delicious Turkish cuisine. Highly recommend!
I have tried the butter chicken, donair, and Shawarma. The butter chicken is my favorite but I love all three. Good size portions, fair price. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming. I can tell they all work really hard. During my recent visit when I bought a Baklava I noticed they gave me an extra which I also thought was really nice.
This place, as we just expressed to the owner last night, continues to impress with its food -over and over again. We do love variety, and enjoy the ethnic variety of food especially. Turkish Big Bite will never disappoint. If you're in a hurry for a quick bite, then order ahead and swing by and pick it up, as they appear do a lot of that as well. But I suggest, in taking your time. Allow them -to take their time. Good food should never be rushed. Sit with friends, enjoy their company, anticipate the authenticity and flavors that await. And while you do await your main course, the creaminess and eastern tones of their humus will settle you in your seat like that first date, you never wanted to end. If you're anything like us, you'll leave with a smile on your face, and wonder what you might try on your next visit. Highly recommend Turkish Big Bite for anyone. Just don't be in a rush. Some things in life are worth waiting for.
Came to check out a spot I'd heard good things about, and it did not disappoint! The staff was very friendly, the food was incredible (they made me love their hummus, and I have never enjoyed it before from anywhere else), and the portion sizes were incredible. The restaurant itself is fairly lightly decorated, but it works because you're not going to be looking around when you've got such great food to eat. Right from the moment we walked in, I had a good feeling about it. When the staff is sitting at one of the tables enjoying the food themselves, it's a good sign. I highly recommend getting the smoked rice instead of basmati, you will not regret the flavour experience! We will definitely be coming back again and again!
The atmosphere, the service, the whole experience… 5 stars. The food was very flavorful, I had the donair one time and the falafel the second.. no complaints about either. The staff was very friendly, went above and beyond. I’ve been back, and I’ll be back! Oh and the lentil soup - awesome!
If you're looking for Local Quality cooking or want to try something different, this is the spot!! Friendly, clean, comfortable atmosphere. Food is delicious. Judging by the number of take out orders others think it's delicious as well. Local Turkish dining. The Dishes I had are a Chicken Shish Sub, Lamb on a Skewar, and Turkish Kunafa for dessert. Pics of my experience are attached.
