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.

    We had the Çoban Salatası salad, falalel, the sea bass and the lamb chops along with the fresh-baked loaf of bread (with kalonji seads!). What a terrific meal!

    I enjoyed the ambiance and the staff were all great! I was slightly disappointed with the size of the entrees. Thankfully we had ordered plenty of appetizers, but if we had not I would have left hungry for sure. The main meats were good, but was not impressed with their sides of rice and the pickled cabbage stuff. Over all was good but the apps were the best part.

    We just happened to pick the night that Mexico and Turkey were playing a big soccer match in Chapel Hill so the restaurant was packed with fans in team colors and was very noisy, a big change from our usual experience at this restaurant. Tallula’s is our “go to” eatery for every occasion or just a great meal. As usual the food and service were superb in spite of the crowd. Can’t wait to go back again soon! Definitely a restaurant that everyone should try at least once!!!

    Excellent food and wonderful service. The whole staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The Sea Bass was grilled to perfection. Talulla’s is a must do whenever we visit Chapel Hill.

    One of my all time favorite dishes for any restaurant is Talullas’s lamb shank with eggplant purée. Start it with the Coban salatasi and bread. The rice pudding is a great finish.
