In Short
Diners grab Turkish grub to go in front, head to the picnic benches out front or snag seats in the bare-bones back room-complete with Turkish channel-tuned TV. Fragrant kabobs arrive alongside fluffy rice, while ravioli gets a twist with a stuffing of lamb and garlicky yogurt sauce. Vegetarians won't leave hungry either thanks to tomato-based vegetable stew. Seafood dishes include rainbow trout bathed in butter and cooked in a traditional ceramic dish.

Everything I've had from Cafe Orchid is great. The meats and veggies are all fresh, and you can tell that each dish is prepared by hand. It may be simple, but their hummus is the best around, and the baklava is a delicious, buttery, flaky treat that I would eat every day if I could!

Best Turkish food in a relaxed, yet sophisticated atmosphere, with very courteous wait-staff. A great place for a great meal without the fuss.

Me and my friends love to dine at cafe orchid. They have tasty appetizers like the feta cigars, hummos and eggplant musakka. My favorite main dishes include, liver, chicken kabob, turkish raviolli and orchids favorite. You must try the custard for dessert. The service has always been great for me, very friendly and inviting. I highly recommend this great little restaurant to hang out with friends for a great meal at an excellent price.
