About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
Please note that we can't accommodate a stroller the main dining room.

Urfa is a city in Southeastern Turkey, deeply rooted in history, so its unique cuisine is an amalgamation of the cuisines of the many civilizations that have ruled in Urfa. Dishes carry names in Kurdish, Arabic, Armenian, Syrian, and Turkish, and are often prepared in a spicy manner. It is widely believed that Urfa is the birthplace of many dishes, including Raw Kibbé (Çiğ Köfte), which according to the legend, was crafted by the Prophet Abraham from ingredients he had at hand.

Many vegetables are used in the Urfa cuisine, such as the "Ecır," the "Kenger," and the "İsot", the legendary local red capsicum that is a smaller and darker.
Urfa is a big user of clarified butter, made exclusively from sheep's milk.
At Urfa bistro we will try our best to use local products to create dishes as same as prepared in Urfa.

    Really enjoyed Urfa. They have some seating options (front and back patios and inside) - they were flexible to our choice. Food was very tasty. Service was great - everyone was super friendly and helpful. We will be back!

    Great food (linguine dish was excellent) and very attentive staff. A quiet room was ideal for us so a perfect setting on the back patio. A great night!

    Food was just ok. Spanakopita was mostly filo, not much filling. Lentil soup just ok, as was the lamb shank dinner. Service was very slow.

    Urfa is a neighborhood gem. We’ve been coming for years and the food is excellent, consistent, and often with some nice flourishes taking the dishes one level higher than would be typical of a small neighborhood restaurant. Service is welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend them.

    Great good, excellent service! We sat on the back patio, not loud at all. I really have a great meal every time I come here. Good wines, salads are the best, beef kabob, the daily fish entree, all spectacular
