Lokma

I was going to dock one star because it is expensive but I just realized all the great things about this place is the reason of the value.

Get the FUCKING Spreads as a small bite. There's this one spread where its like a chunk of butter surrounding a lavapool of honey. And with the warm pita bread, its like crack. Not that I know what crack tastes like.

Service was fine. Ambience has a lot of Mediterranean vibes (shocker) with a hint of gentrification (which is fine). I haven't been here for dinner but it is always nice to eat in or outside.

If you need to wake up and clear your bowels, the turkish coffee is fantastic. Comes in a nice dish too if you wana feel fancy.

It does some nice damage to your bank account so this is like a nice brunch spot with the qurls or if your partner has been bugging you to go out, this'll buy you another 2-4weeks.

Oh yeah - food is everything you want in quality when it comes to it. I got lamb chops, wife got karniyarik (yes I copied and pasted that) which is stuffed eggplant. Have gone here several times to try something new and have not been disappointed. I need that crack honey butter again.

Really enjoyed the baba ghanoush appetizer and the eggplant and beef main dish, and liked the Turkish Pilsner

The little dumplings with bits of beef in them were interesting and tasty too

Nice ambience and good service. Everything came out with good timing, appetizers came fast

Like the salad too

Lokma is an amazing authentic Turkish Mediterranean inspired delicacy! The food is well prepared and full of delicious flavors that dance on your taste buds! At times there are long lines but it is worth the wait!

Traditional Turkish Breakfast is delightful scrambled eggs with Turkish sausage, feta, olives, fresh fruit, muhammara, hazelnut spread, tomatoes, cucumber, kaymak (clotted cream) & honey & warm pita!

The Menemen is unlike any scrambled eggs I have tried. Scrambled eggs with organic tomatoes and sweet peppers, feta cheese, fresh fruit & warm pita (Nut-Free)

Breakfast Sandwich
Toasted bun, two feta scrambled eggs, arugula, tomatoes, house sauce & crispy potatoes (Nut-Free)

The Ambiance is simple with lots of open space for dinning. Bathrooms are by the kitchen and is gender neutral. Waiters and service is very friendly and the experience hit it out of the park! Look forward to our next visit.

The food here was delicious! I recommend the burger over the chicken sandwich as the beef and lamb patty was juicy yet tender while the chicken was a bit on the drier side. The potatoes are out of this world! I usually don't like any sort of potatoes, but these were so crispy and extremely well seasoned that I'd come back just for the potatoes!

The staff are Turkish and incorporate very authentic Turkish flavors into the American brunch style menu. The service here was responsive and helpful. The interior is clean and very modern. It's not upscale by any means, but exudes a very minimalist and comfortable interior.

We came by for a Thursday brunch and were seated immediately without a wait. Parking can be really tricky out here (SMALL and limited spaces) so plan accordingly.

Service: 3/5
Our server was really nice and friendly but there weren't any check-ins throughout the meal and water refills.

Ambiance: 5/5
Lokma offers indoor and outdoor seatings, and the interior design is simple yet so modern and chic.

Food: 5/5
The four of us shared sunrise combo, breakfast for 2, chicken sandwich, and tri spread.

Chicken sandwich - It wasn't crispy like we expected but it was surprisingly so tasty and the sauces in the sandwich tasted so good. It was also a tad bit spicy -- nothing more than a kick to it. Potatoes were perfect as well in terms of taste and texture.

You MUST try either the tri spread or breakfast for 2! The spreads were so delicious and so tasty to have with the pita.

I must say though... scrambled eggs were amazing. Most places use so much milk or cream in their eggs and I think Lokma does it as well but VERY minimal so the eggs actually tasted like eggs!

Turkish coffee - Small but strong. I can't quite describe the taste-- it was a very bitter first sip but progressively grew on me as I started tasting the spices. I opted for no sugar but go for it if you don't like plain coffee.

Came here for a Sunday brunch and overall I enjoyed my meal. The restaurant is pretty small inside, with a decent amount of outdoor seating. I ordered a meal that had some pancakes, potatoes, and sausage. The pancakes were alright, but nothing amazing. The potatoes were very flavorful, but slightly undercooked. And the sausage was good, but only included a couple tiny pieces (think 5x pieces of pepperoni). Prices were reasonable and service was good. I would come back, but would definitely order something else.

The food is great. The service is great. Love the staff. Good for brunch and dinner. Parking can be difficult though...

Food (5/5): Went for brunch on a Thursday and had the Lokma burger. I'm a big fan of lamb, so I was excited to see it on the menu. While I didn't try any of the brunch items, it's nice that they have brunch on a weekday.

Service (5/5): Our waitress was great with helping to move a high chair outside and while we were the only ones outside for awhile, made sure to check in with us throughout our lunch.

Ambiance (5/5): Cute interior, but since it was such a beautiful day, we sat outside. There are two small tables on the sidewalk, as well as a parklet.

My son cannot afford to dine at Lokma but passes by it frequently and it created in him a hankering to try it. Thus it was his choice of place at which to celebrate a recent birthday.

Lokma is popular brunch spot but my party of 4 had no wait for a table at 11 a.m. Despite appearing to be full throughout my time there, nobody hurried us along or tried to turn our table, a fact I much appreciated. Service? Very good.

We were all over the map in ordering (omelet, burger, and wrap) but the star of the show was the Traditional Turkish Breakfast ($38). Intended to serve 2, the birthday celebrant ordered this for himself and shared with the table. Whether or not it merited the price (does anything these days?) is debatable but he really enjoyed the plate full of little bowls filled with cheeses, nuts, spreads, and more.

Though nobody raved about their brunch here (which ran about $155 total, all in) we all enjoyed Lokma and departed full and with a bag of leftovers. It is a solid brunch spot (they're also open for dinner), well run, with something for everyone but nothing that excited me enough to announce a need to return soon.

Went here for brunch with some friends and had an incredible experience.

The place is super cute, with outdoor seating as well as a super cute brick interior. Was easy to get seated during the weekday.

I ordered the breakfast sandwich- 4/5 which was super filling, but could've used a bit more salt/spice per my preference.

Also got the Bal and Kayak- 5/5 highly recommend, this was SO delicious and unique, consists of pitas that you can dip into a small bowl of cheese and honey.

Topped it all off with a Turkish coffee- delicious but small for the price.

Overall excellent, and everyone loved their food! Would love to try the Turkish breakfast next time!
