About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions

When you walk through the shadowed glass doors of Talulla's, an instant transformation begins to occur. Your mind and body begin to relax. Your ears pick up on the eclectic mix of music. Your eyes wonder around the walls, decorated in Turkish rugs; then the ceilings, scattered with warm, unique lighting pieces; then the floors... the dark, hardwood floors; and finally, across the plush seating areas, disguised by cushions and pillows and fabric leisurely draped around the frames.

    Talulla’s is always delicious and the service is always gracious but they have too many tables in the space and expect you to sit incredibly close to other people. Two times that we have been seated at the high tops, the table next to us had two people sitting on the banquet where only one person is supposed to sit. It makes for a crowded and uncomfortable dining experience and makes me pause when I think of coming here.

    We haven’t been here in quite a while, but it is still as delicious as we remembered it. Nice relaxing atmosphere here with good service and delicious food. Highly recommend the Turkish coffee and Kuneffe dessert.

    Our party was 4 novices to Turkish cuisine. The explanations were well intended but overwhelmed by the speed of delivery and the overall noise level. My comments are only about the apps and my entree. Appetizers and the lamb shank special were all nicely presented. The sampler apps were quite nice and everyone was able to sample everything. There was a sauce that was delivered that we weren't quite sure what it was. It was very tasty. The lamb shank entree was delicious and I would order it again. Tender and meaty.

    The menu has changed over time and doesn't seem as unique as it was a few years ago. Also, there is NO valet parking as the website claims. This was a confusing beginning to our visit.

    Wonderful experience. Great mains, especially the specials. Ask about them. Also wonderful hot mezes, accompanied by the greatest service.

    The food was delicious and the service was good. The restaurant is clean and cozy but it’s also a little crowded and very noisy.
