Hamdi - Reviews

My experience at Hamdi was truly amazing! We had an outstanding night filled with warm hospitality and, most importantly, amazing food. A special thank you to Chef Berk, Kat, and Asli for making our evening unforgettable!

My experience at this restaurant was marked by incredibly delicious food, packed with lots of flavor. While the portions were small, the taste was exceptional. I wish I had taken more photos of other dishes we ordered, but we ate them before the camera did! The atmosphere was rated a 5, and the service was also a perfect 5. Parking was somewhat difficult to find, though free street parking is available. The noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk.

My experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. I had some of the best food I have ever eaten. I highly recommend trying the "kaburga" and "kebab, " but honestly, everything else was also very amazing. The food received a perfect score of 5, and the service was equally outstanding with a score of 5. The atmosphere was also rated a 5, contributing to a wonderful dining experience.

I am sorry to leave a bad review because I can see how this restaurant could be managed better, but the treatment we received last night was unacceptable. Unfortunately, we keep hearing different bad experiences from different people, indicating serious management problems. It would not be fair to say anything bad about the food because everything was fairly delicious (which we could have enjoyed better had we received better treatment). The portions are small and expensive, but that's not a surprise for a place that claims to be a fine dining establishment. However, how can you be a fine dining place if you treat your customers disrespectfully and rudely? We had a reservation for 5 people, but at the last minute, we had one more person who wanted to join us. They have this weird policy of a more expensive set menu for 6 people, which we were not interested in. Fortunately, a couple of hours before our reservation, we were able to book a table for 2, just 30 minutes after our reservation time. We were not being dishonest, and at the door, we told them that we were expecting someone else for our second reservation and when that person arrived in 30 minutes, one of us would join them at another table. We were told that it was fine, so we sat down and ordered some food and drinks to start with. When our last person arrived, the owner showed us her ugly face and told us that we were being disrespectful by intentionally not following their policy. I told them that we booked a second table because we had vegetarian friends who did not want to opt for a set menu including all the meat products, but she roasted us like a high school principal and did not give us the second table that we had booked. This was a shame because 1) you lost a customer on the spot, 2) we didn't order more food and drinks because we felt bad after this treatment, and 3) you lost a bunch of future customers. I respect your efforts to serve excellent food, but you need customers; you can't treat customers so rudely. There are various ways to accommodate customers. Showing an angry face and accusing us for being disrespectful for a miniscule thing should be your last option. Your behavior is disrespectful to customers.

My experience at this restaurant was marked by a great atmosphere and good service, both receiving a perfect score. The food presentation was also excellent. However, the portions were really small, with the exception of the steak. The prices were higher than most restaurants in the area, and the lamb dish was quite spicy. Overall, Hamdi is comparable to a fancy NYC restaurant.

My experience at this restaurant was incredible. It's a perfect date night spot. The food is prepared with such care. The service was attentive and top tier. The ambiance was both relaxing and trendy. It's a must go!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! An Uber driver recommended this place, and he was absolutely right. The owners were incredibly friendly, amazing, and efficient. The food was truly delicious. It's definitely worth a visit.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. It was our favorite meal during our recent trip to Seattle. Everything was perfect, and everyone was so nice. I highly recommend this place.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with excellent food and a superb ambience. The menu offers a modern twist on Turkish/Anatolian cuisine, featuring fresh ingredients and super well-prepared dishes. The wine list was also thoughtfully selected. However, there were two areas for improvement: despite having a reservation, we had to wait 10-15 minutes for our table. Additionally, the signature cocktail, 'bebek', was pre-mixed and poured from a barrel, which detracted from the experience.

My experience at this restaurant was truly amazing. The food was fantastic and so innovative. The owner was personable and helpful, guiding us through the best cocktails and food items, all of which were hits. I can't wait to come back; it was the best meal I have had in ages.
