This place is a gem! The Balkan kebab and Istanbul platter were absolutely delicious! The bread is so fresh and light and the kebab is so juicy and tasty. The Lahmacun was so good too. We also had the original baklava and honey cake. Baklava is so crisp, not too sugary with perfect amount of pistachios. If you’re a baklava person you would know! The honey cake was too good to be true! Great coffee too. Everyone is extremely nice. Portions and prices are great. Must try and you’ll get hooked!

Fresh and delicious Turkish food! I got Borek and I never had Borek that is light and fluffy like this before. The accompanied salad goes very well. I asked a staff what I should get for a lighter meal and she got the right stuff for me. When it comes to the dessert, the blakava here is thick, rich, and still have the right crunchy texture from the outside. Plus it is big! Looking at the menu, I can see that this place is authentic and of course other dishes I saw around neighboring tables look all new and interesting to me. Definitely a place I want to come back and try other dishes!

I went to Istanbul last summer and was on the hunt for a Turkish restaurant before my trip. Guess what? I stumbled upon this amazing place! I’ve been here at least six times, and it’s seriously the best brunch spot in Emeryville. I’ve had their shakshuka a few times, and you can’t go wrong with eggs and tomatoes! I’ve also tried their cevapi sandwich, which is super savory and pairs perfectly with their pide bread. My usual meal here is the Istanbul plate, which has a bunch of kofte kebabs served with pide bread, potatoes, slices of pide bread, and grilled shishito peppers (usually at least one of them is pretty spicy, but overall pretty mild). This is definitely one of my go-to brunch spots which I always sneak in a baklava in every order, and I’m there at least once a quarter now.

This restaurant is such a gem! Our beef brisket patty sandwich and the Turkish sampler platter were both very delicious with decent portions. We also had a rice pudding to go, and it was beyond expectation. Need to go back and try more of the sweets!

Such a delight. Specialize Turkish baked goods, dishes. Have an all day breakfast menus as well. We met up with friends here. This is the first time we visited, so everything is tempting. Limited seatings. Every one works here is so helpful, patiently explains everything. I can see why this is a local fa write. Food portions are large. They also have preboxed food you can purchase and take with you.

Absolutely loved this place! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. It really reminded me of lahmacun from Türkiye, which made the experience even more special!

Without hesitation, this is one of the best places to eat in town. You truly need to try everything on the menu. The Turkish/Balkan-style food is absolutely delicious. The staff is extremely friendly and polite. I also want to emphasize how clean the place is, from the open kitchen to the seating area.

LOVE. I'm not Turkish, but I lived in Turkey for a year and the food at Simurgh is closer to the food I had in Turkey than any other Turkish restaurant I've been to in the US. The food is flavorful and fresh, the staff are friendly and efficient, the menu is varied, and the portions are huge. The vibe is casual which I actually like; it's nice to go to a more low-key restaurant that still has great food. There's indoor and outdoor seating. Some of the great food I've had here includes the grilled meats (DELICIOUS), amazing fresh bread, menemen, baklava, and Turkish coffee. I also love their homemade ayran, although that's an acquired taste.
