***OPEN FOR DINE-IN AND TAKE OUT***

A chef-driven paradise wrapped in a small neighborhood vibe. Ada’s has been a staple in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood for years. However today, the new Ada’s is a creation stemmed from a lifelong dream of Executive Chef Ayhan Barlas. With a completely revised menu of American classics prepared with a European flair alongside Chef Ayhan’s native Turkish favorites, your senses will thank you!

We are firm believers that the freshest ingredients create the best dishes, and that things that grow together, go together. So, in keeping with that mantra, we pride ourselves on using as many local purveyors as possible to best keep our dishes in line with the true spirit of the finest cuisine the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Here you'll find a modern, warm and romantic dining experience in an elegantly casual atmosphere. We also have a great bar and lounge area with a wonderful Happy Hour.

When you dine with us, you’ll feel like part of the family.

    The food is always delicious, and the service is always excellent. We are gluten free, and they make substitutions and suggestions to ensure that our dining is tasty and safe. We don’t live nearby - but we go as often as we can. We had a special occasion (anniversary) this time, and they even treated us to a complementary dessert - pear poached in wine, with an almond marzipan center. Mmmm.

    Wonderful experience. Food was great and service very professional and friendly. It was a bit loud for my taste but that is mostly because the restaurant is popular, as it should be.

    Enjoyed the Seattle Restaurant week menu. Asparagus Salad & Turkish soup were good. Branzino was ok - to many micro-greens on top, seemed like skin to meat ratio was off (too much skin) A lot of crisp broccoli and “scalloped” potatoes were just undercooked potatoes rounds. Grilled Kababs were all good, tenderloin had excellent flavor but two pieces were to tough and inedible. To much salad and unexpected grill pepper 🤢. The pita piece and yogurt were fantastic (could have had 3x more pita). The baklava was fine & the Turkish coffee was ok (hate how it’s not filtered/hate grounds) Service was excellent- chef stopped by our table at awkward time (with server) so really didn’t get to talk to. Restaurant was very cute and clean. Was very surprised how “loud” restaurant was. Very hard to hear people at my table & restaurant was overpacked nor were other guests “super loud talkers”. It was our 1st time having “Turkish” food but our favorite regional food is Mediterranean. Really enjoyed it - will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

    We were seated with our reservation immediately and not rushed at all.cocktails were well made. The hummus is spectacular and the roasted beet salad was excellent too. The chicken shish kebab was delicious and my husband loved his doner kebab. Our friends had salmon and reported it was excellent and the polenta unique. The baklava isn’t to be missed for dessert.

    Had a great meal at Ada’s! My wife and I got chicken and beef kebabs, which were easy to share. The beef was cooked perfectly, the chicken seasoned, tender and moist. A bottle of house red topped off everything beautifully. We’ll be back!

    Ada’s is how dining out should always be. From the warm greeting at the door to the “come agains” after dinner, were made to feel welcome and cared for. The menu is an excellent representation of what great dining in Turkey is like. Our mains were beautifully plated and perfectly sized. The kababs were delicious. The staff is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and attentive. I spent five weeks exploring Turkey this year and will frequent Ada’s as a pleasant reminder.
