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 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.

    Our party of 3 had reservations and were quickly seated. Service was fast and friendly, gave excellent advice and made us feel at home and appreciated. Had the cold appetizer sampler that was amazing. The mousakka was great. I also tried my daughter’s lamb dish- also fantastic. Highly recommended ! Also suggest reservations as rhe place was packed with a lot of people who also looked happy. ! Oh. And rhe cocktails were perfect ! We plan on going back.

    A thoroughly pleasing evening in every way: food, service, and ambiance. The restaurant was full and there was lots of happy conversation. Thanks to the beautiful textiles on the walls, the acoustics were great and my older dining partners had no trouble hearing each other.
