I wanted some Mediterranean-style cuisine, so this was close enough. The food was tasty, if perhaps slightly overpriced. The expense probably comes from the interior decorating, ambiance (e.g. table settings, staff dress code, classical orchestral music, etc.), and niche/rarity of Turkish food in this part of SW Allen County. I was satisfied with the whole experience. The staff was polite. The service was quick (only 5 other patrons at 2 other tables while I was there). 14/15 would recommend 👌

The food is always 10/10!!! The chicken, beef adana, and streak kebabs are always delicious, and the hummus is the best in FW. The atmosphere, food presentation, and dishes need a lot of work, but we still come for the fabulous food. This place could be one of the best in FW if they changed the interior to suit their culinary accompaniment.

This place has some of the best cooked meat in all of Fort Wayne! Each plate that we got was cooked to perfection 👍 Seriously this place makes some delicious food. Only knocking it down a star for the service. Maybe it was an off night, but we had our server come back 5 times because they kept forgetting what we had ordered. She was extremely nice about it, we just had our drinks and food delayed quite a bit because she was trying to remember our order by memory. Ain't no shame in having a notepad to take down orders! I'm sure we will be back soon, that food was too good not to be!

Stopped in here with my mom while we were in the area and we were really pleased with the whole experience. The hostess/server was attentive and polite, the restaurant was clean and well kept with nice decor. The stylistic choices are really nice and gives the place a really good vibe. The food is excellent with good portions, we both had some to take home for a later snack. They first bring out a bit of bread with some olives in seasoned oil and a finely minced pepper something that i don't know the name of but it was a really good addition to the bread. Then we got the falafel which was excellent! Well seasoned and crunchy and pairs excellent with both the tahini sauce and the red dip, which is spicy but not too much. It really pairs well. Mom got the beef Sac Kavurma with rice and on first bite, goes "Ohhh myyyy! If the rice tastes this good I need to try the rest!" Needless to say, she frequently commented about how good it was! I got the Tantuni wrap plate and was equally as pleased. The melding of flavors was complex yet simple with the sumac bringing it's light acidity for a great balance. The additional flare with the sizzling pan drippings tableside was a nice touch, especially because I love pan drippings of all kinds so I actually clapped in excitement over that! This is a great place to eat and it's really cool to see them making the food through the open kitchen as well. I'll not only recommend this place, but I will certainly go back next time I'm in the area!

The only thing bad about this place is that it isn't closer to where we live! The food was fresh, tasty, and plentiful. The Chef came to the table to check on us multiple times. He is very hands-on and cares about what he serves, and it shows in the food. It was a great experience. Can't wait to come back.

This charming restaurant has been a beloved part of our community for quite some time now, and the food just keeps getting better. I recently tried the hummus, and it was the best I've had in ages! My husband and I absolutely adore their Turkish salad, which is perfect for sharing. The shish kebabs are simply outstanding – some of the best you’ll find anywhere. The quality here rivals that of top restaurants in Chicago. If you haven't had the pleasure of visiting Deema yet, I highly recommend you do!

Very fresh and delicious turkish food, their kabab is top notch (nice delicate herbal aroma) ! I love this place except the service is kinda slow and not so attentive. Beware there are extra surcharges for food and beverages and credit card fee..
