Turkish Cafe and Lounge

Looks like the management is changed with changed staff. Super friendly servers, great ambience, and delicious food. Wait time on food was minimal. Don’t miss their DJ and belly dancing nights. Whenever I’m in town again, I’ll most definitely dine in here. And don’t forget to order their Knefe

Really good atmosphere. But the food is NOT that great. I found it a little too pricey. Good place to have a drink and chill That would be it

Very good ambience. Great food and hookahs. Nice place to hang out! The staff is friendly and informative. My favorite dish — Baklava.

Super fun place and great food with big portions.
The night started out mellow but easily picked up.
They have a variety of music from Turkish to Persian to Indian, and it’s really fun.
I ordered the lamb shanks, which was a huge portion and made really well.
My friends and I did hookah also (Turkish delight flavor). The staff is super friendly also.
They had a belly dancer for entertainment also.
My only complaint is that the heat was way to high in the outside heated section. It honestly felt like a hot summer day with the sun on you lol.

Great place to go and chill in the evenings! Definitely one of the best hookah places. Love the hookah they make. Excellent service and definitely a must visit.

Sitting here for almost 30 minutes now. Not a single waiter is here. Talked to the manager and he said someone will be right over and no one came after.
Total bull shit

I’ve been here twice. The first time, I was seated on the lower level patio and we got to enjoy the live violinist.
The second time, my group of 4 was seated on the upper level patio. We couldn’t see or hear any of the entertainment this time. (Plan ahead and reserve lower level seating)! I ordered a salad for my meal. They brought the wrong order out. When I told the waitress, she kept insisting the meal I had was correct. Finally, a manager came over and agreed that it was not the right order. Not the best service, okay food, and super pricey for what you get. Definitely disappointed in the second experience I had, considering we had so much fun the first time.

My favorite Turkish place! Love the friendly staff (thx Mustafa) and the high quality of the food. Try the kunefe!

Wow. This place has really stepped up. Before it was overpriced, too cold to sit outside, & sucky service.
Now the patio is covered & there are heaters. Perfect atmosphere to enjoy hookah & hang with friends.
Mustfa was our server & he did a great job checking up on us.
The hookah is some of the best in the metroplex. Food is always good. Just a bit of a wait.

We had a great time tonight. Heated patio, great food, great service and great music. Best place to have fun!

I came here because they had a groupon available for $ 15 you get $ 25. Well, apparently they have a reason to try to boost business.
They have very cool décor, and it’s located in a corner of a shopping center. Turns out, with the patio included, there’s a lot of room. I was solo so I sat at the bar. The waiter waited on me, and recommended to me the Mojito. It was extremely diluted and unsweetened with no evidence of mint. Just tasted like like diluted lime juice. And here, that’s a $ 12 drink. While he was making it, I heard a girl asking him if he was making a virgin drink, because she didn’t understand what he was doing.
The best part of the entire visit– the bread and spicy red sauce. So good! I ate all of my bread and very little of the entrée. The entrée was fair. It was a bed of eggplant paste with a few emaciated tomatoes and cucumbers to garnish. Very small dry tenderloin bites scattered about. Some sort of oil drizzle made the meal tastier.
Overall, the waiter was nice and the food was mediocre, I just don’t think it’s nearly worth the price; most entrees at least $ 20. Location is good, crowd is hit or miss, service is slow when I was there. I may come back for an event, etc. but I wouldn’t come back just to dine.

What happened to this place?
I had a group when they first opened (it was crazy to get a spot, so full since everybody was in love with it!). It was always packed although the not so great food reviews were emerging. I think I had about 20 people and food was fine for me, service was good too. We actually had a situation– one of the new members of my group just dashed without touching his food, mind you… So embarrassing! But the waitress was really graceful and said it was ok, I told her something strange was going on very early in the meal.
It is a gorgeous restaurant, great staff, good entertainment. Few months ago a group that I am affiliated with had an event there. It was a big fail in food. I do not and will not ever understand how come an owner or managers knowing that you have a group of professionals in the house, that could potentially generate lots of more business can let the quality to be so bad. Food was served as a buffet style for the group, which is fine, but it was very bland an unappetizing. Just the looks were already bad. Lots of people ended up not eating. Very disappointing.
As a entertainment place, is going very strong in that area.

Love this place! Of course, we tried it out because of Groupon. The ambience of the restaurant was really nice! It’s a nice date spot especially if you sit outside. We went kinda early on a Sunday evening so there was no entertainment going on. We’ll definitely go back on a Friday or Saturday night. The bread and sauce they give you was deelish! It reminds me of salsa so I loved it! It is spicy so beware. We had the mixed grill plate. Everything on it was super yummy!!!
The service left some things to be desired. There was only one waitress for the whole place… inside and outside so that means slow service. At first, we sat inside but the booth seat was too far away from the table so we moved. Moving was a good choice because we got experience the outside seating which really makes the experience more enjoyable. They have heaters for outside. It took a while to get them working. Once we got it going, we were able to warm up since it was cool and raining. They do offer complimentary shawls. However, we didn’t use them because we didn’t know when they may have been last washed. One of the workers told us about all the entertainment they have on the weekends and that the place gets pretty crowded so she recommended making reservations especially for outside and coming with a group. I think it would be a nice birthday party spot.
Overall, we loved it and plan to go back. It is a bit pricey though…

Lunchtime buffet only till 3pm. It was nice, but I really wanted to try their gyros. And only $ 10. Not bad considering the nice outside patio, music and service. Nice place for midday hangout.

This place is absolutely the best place to eat in frisco for Turkish food. The food is amazing, the staff is friendly and professional. The scenery is great. They have belly dancers, great DJ. I have been there several times and had the best time, every time. If you are going to show someone a great time, relax and or want to party hard, you can get both experience here. Love this place. Will make this a regular stop.

I have had mixed experiences here.
This restaurant has a very obvious niche — it’s really more for night time entertainment. Going there for a 6 PM dinner just feels dismal.
The food is actually very tasty. The adana kabob is great. I also really like the table bread with the spicy pepper/​tomato sauce. I do think it’s a tad overpriced compared to other equally good Turkish food options in the area. A dinner entrée is anywhere from 23 to 30 dollars. Mixed drinks are $ 11.
The service can be very hit or miss — set expectations low.
The music is rather varied. I think the DJ does a good job catering to the crowd majority. Depending on the patrons, it could be american, latin, indian, russian, etc…
When the weather is great and you’re not bothered by bad service, the atmosphere is just delightful. Great deck, beautiful Turkish lanterns, nice breeze, and friendly belly dancers.

What a wonderful evening. Everything was OUTSTANDING. The food, the service, the live entertainment, dancers, and the music. Shon Mehmet and his staff are always so accommodating. The outdoor patio is so energetic and has a pulse of its own.

Super cool vibe indeed! I came here for a Memorial Day gathering. First of all the patio is incredibly massive! And there’s a nice view of the water… I don’t even think I had seen a body of water back here before! The lights on the ceiling are like artwork… they are so colorful and beautiful. I believe service is better at the bar. Actually when we were on the patio service was next to non existent. They have hookahs and pretty decent looking food from what folks around me ordered. I enjoyed my adult beverage and I’d definitely be willing to come back for some food and to soak up more of the ambience. I think the one thing they could step up on would be service and this place would be the spot to check out. It’s tucked inside of a tiny shopping center in the corner so don’t blink or else you’ll miss it.

The place is nice but the DJ is the worst ever because he doesn’t listen to what the customers like to hear or what music we like to dance on specially Arabic music.
I’m so disappointed. Please help solving this issue and I’ll give 5 stars.

I thought when first walking into this spot I had found an new place to hang out, until I got my bill.
Love the atmosphere but the drinks run $ 10 or more. Not really sure if they have happy hour or not.
Loved the décor, you can sit inside or on a large deck patio. They offer Hookah at your table and belly dancers put on shows. There was no show the night I was there. It’s a very cool little hole in the wall place that turns out to be bigger than you expected.
It was fun for my first visit. I am unsure if I want to go back after visiting once.
We got appetizers instead of meals because it was a bit pricy for a girls night out.
Date nights would be great here, very romantic feel.
