Halikarnas

update;:
went back to order pide: divine. Great contrast between fresh salatalik and mint, with the crust of pide. Worth the wait. see the picture

Basic lunch buffet. Really good if you are really hungry. Nice salads and veggies Turkish style. Chicken and kebab also. Worth the price

Food was.excellent. I recommend it for the great food and atmosphere. The service was vitreous but could have been a bit more responsive. They seemed preoccupied on their phone and computer so it was hard to get their attention. Other than that it was excellent.

I’ve only been there for lunch. Varied and tasty selection of Turkish style food. Coffee and cake included with the lunch, which is a plus!

I really wish that I had tried this place sooner. I am from California and always in search of healthy, tasty options here in Helsinki-​not easy!
I did the lunch buffet. Great whole flavorful foods and really yummy recipes! Delicious soft warm bread, tender (falling off the bone) chicken, beautiful mixes of lentils and grains all well spiced, lovely salad (as in fresh and colorful greens and veggies NOT soaked in creams), whole garlic cloves-​yes please, gyro meat that was very light and non-​greasy, and much more. Coffee was very good, I rarely go for desert so can’t comment.
Only complaint is the staff seemed a bit lazy on keeping the buffet filled. I had to ask and then PROVE to the girl no bread was in basket and a couple other items were empty the whole time I was there. Staff were playing really annoying loud videos on their personal electronic devices, right near my table. Part of why I went there is it looked quiet and music was nice so it was pretty irritating.
The restaurant itself is pretty. The regular menu is more pricy but would be a nice place for an evening date. They are open late on weekdays AND Sundays also a big plus!
I will deeeeefinitely be going back for lunch! Well worth the price!
