Sara's Review of Nazif’s

Having been to Turkiye recently, and having been influenced with many Turkish friends.. I would have to say Nazif's restaurant cooks up some pretty authentic food. I recently came here on a weekend afternoon and to my surprise it wasn't too busy. My family and I were greeted kindly, and were given prompt service. Our food came on time and all of our meals were delicious. We ordered the kibbi (icli kofte) and it was nice, crunchy, and spicy. The lamacun (flat-bread with meat) was flavourful and vibrant when mixed with the pickled cabbage. The kimali pide (meat pie) was hearty with meat and studded with nuts and parsley on top. For dessert, we ordered the rice pudding, and it was cold, thick, and creamy. We ended our meal with some Turkish style tea. This sort of cuisine cant be ended without any tea. There lunch prices are a bit steep, but it's still a good deal when considering all you get. I can honestly say that all the dishes were made well and were quite filling. I'll probably even bring my picky Turkish friends sometime soon. I'm looking forward in trying out their other dishes as well. There are some specific dishes here that I haven't spotted in the other Turkish restaurants that are in town. Oh, and if you're planning on ordering the kunefe for dessert, I would suggest you do that ahead of time, since that dessert takes time in preparing. That is something im definitely looking forward in trying next time around.
