***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.

    We were thoroughly impressed by the service (Tracy is fantastic!), the food (just wow!), and the ambiance as well. I can’t believe we haven’t been to this place. I think it just might be our new favorite restaurant in Seattle!

    Shisk kebab was undercooked as was the Kafte; spicing was good but we needed to eat the other elements and bring home the meats to cook them more.

    Our dinner was delicious and we would go back again! Turkish wine was lovely and we enjoyed dumplings, prawns, the beet and orange salad, and the borek (we were told it was house made the day we went)! Our only critique would be to include many more greens with the beet salad.

    It was Seattle Restaurant Week, so the place was busy! In spite of that, we were seated promptly and the food came quickly. Everything was delicious. The chef has no fear of flavor. The red lentil soup was a tad spicy, as were the dumplings (quarter-sized packets stuffed with beef). The sea bass was cooked to perfection, not an easy task.

    Ada's has wonderfully tasty and beautifully displayed food offerings in an intimate setting for a reasonable price. While the menu has many great unique options, there's also enough to please people who want more traditional flavors. I think this place would be a perfect choice for anyone who is looking for a nice dinner out, either for a special occasion or just a regular dinner.

    This is my new favorite restaurant. The food was flavorful and delicious. The wait staff were genuinely gracious and attentive. You can tell that the food was cooked in the restaurant using fresh, quality ingredients. The chefs at Ada's obviously take pride in the dishes they cook. The food is Mediterranean with subtle differences that make it Turkish. They have vegetarian, piscatorian and carnivorous options. It was our wedding anniversary so I made a special request for a bottle of champagne which is not on the menu. It was obviously chosen with an eye for quality. Pre-dinner, I had a question about the champagne and the owner actually called me the next day to discuss it. I always try to support family businesses. In this case, it will be a pleasure. I'm already looking forward to our next visit.

     Service at this restaurant is exceptional. The attention to detail, attentiveness and good cheer is remarkable. The food is consistently good, great portions and the ability to make adjustments sets this place above other restaurants. The streak kabobs, beat salad are stand outs. Amazing bartenders too. 5 STARS ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

    We had a wonderful time in the back room with family from out of town. We tried many items and most were great. We also appreciated the amazing waiter (Samil or Sahil, sorry, may have gotten it wrong) who was so quick and attentive and made dining in a large group so easy. Yet one more reason Ada's is my favorite local restaurant!

    I was searching for a nice restaurant with a solid selection of entrees that didn’t break the bank for my daughter’s birthday dinner. So happy to find Ada’s. It’s a quaint neighborhood place on Phinney Ridge with amazing food and wonderful service - far exceeding my expectations. We had cocktails, appetizers, wine, dinner and dessert. Everything was delicious. I look forward to another visit.

    One of the outstanding restaurants in Seattle...the cuisine combines Turkish and Continental influences which make for a unique dining experience. I'm not a meat eater although there are some lovely beef and lamb dishes, and the selection of fish and vegetarian options is terrific. Great seared scallops, whole trout, stuffed eggplant and two of the best soups around...a Lobster Bisque and a traditional Turkish one, the name of which I can never remember! The owner-chef is a charming host and is truly a wizard in the kitchen.
