The Gem in Fremont. What a great experience. The food is wonderful and the husband and wife owners are so nice. They take time to talk to the customers and genuinely seem happy that you are there. I've never been to Turkey but if this is what the food is like, I think I will.

All of my senses are engaged as I step into Cafe Turko. As one who has traveled Turkey, I love to visit this cafe to remind me of my travels by the smells, tastes, sounds and touch. The staff is delightful to talk with and hear their stories; they carry their heritage as a gem to share with Seattle.

My friend, who loves all things Turkish brought me, who loves all things familiar, to Cafe Turko and it was really good! Great ambience and great food. I had something similar to pizza with Turkish sausage and dolmas. All delicious. Friendly staff and great service. Eat here, you won’t be disappointed.

Seattle needs more food like this: truly authentic cultural cuisine that does not break the bank. The brunch is solid, but the dinner is where it is at. For two people, we usually order an entree and a platter of mezzes. You can count everything you order being incredibly well seasoned. We especially appreciate that they have gluten free bread.

If you're looking for a great, inexpensive, warm, inviting place to eat in Seattle, go to Cafe Turko. I can't say enough nice things about this place. We lingered endlessly there today. The food is amazing and the family who owns and runs it couldn't possibly be nicer. I wish they'd adopt me.

The food, service and atmosphere is amazing here! I have been here so many times and I can not believe I am finally writing this. This is probably one of my favorite halal restaurants in Seattle! The decor is excellent at the restaurant, and the owner is so nice! He goes around and sill ask how everything is to make sure everything is perfect. If you have not been here, you need to go ASAP! It is that good!

The smell of cardamon tea and homemade pastries at Cafe Turko brings me back to the time I spent in Gaziantep, Turkey, a town in Southeastern Turkey considered the country's culinary capital. Come early, settle in at a table near the front window next to the open kitchen, and watch Sureyya and her crew prepare all the traditional dishes. My favorite is the yam hummus.

I cannot recommend this place enough! They had so many vegan options, we didn't even know where to start. Their food was excellent and the spices used were amazing. We enjoyed everything we tried. The staff is super friendly too. We'll definitely be returning.

The orange one had yam in it. It was like ``dessert hummus.`` The red was beet; the green was spinach, and the bottom one was regular garlic. They were all incredibly, ridiculously tasty. `{`Rainbow humus`}`
