In ShortDiners grab Turkish grub to go in front, head to the picnic benches out front or snag seats in the bare-bones back room-complete with Turkish channel-tuned TV. Fragrant kabobs arrive alongside fluffy rice, while ravioli gets a twist with a stuffing of lamb and garlicky yogurt sauce. Vegetarians won't leave hungry either thanks to tomato-based vegetable stew. Seafood dishes include rainbow trout bathed in butter and cooked in a traditional ceramic dish.
The Inside Scoop
- Delivery - There isn't a delivery charge when orders are over $25 (minimum delivery is $10 with a $1.50 charge).
- BYOB - The restaurant doesn't charge a corkage fee.
- The Extras - While the menu does offer familiar items like falafel and baba ghannouj, it's the authentic but less recognizable dishes like balik sarma (sardine-stuffed dolma) and skewered, pan-fried mussels with Turkish tartar sauce that make a mark.

Wonderfully fresh
by bethylou10
Everything I've had from Cafe Orchid is great. The meats and veggies are all fresh, and you can tell that each dish is prepared by hand. It may be simple, but their hummus is the best around, and the baklava is a delicious, buttery, flaky treat that I would eat every day if I could!
Pros: Affordable, fresh food. Cute dining room. Fast Delivery. BYOB.

Me and my friends love to dine at cafe orchid. They have tasty appetizers like the feta cigars, hummos and eggplant musakka. My favorite main dishes include, liver, chicken kabob, turkish raviolli and orchids favorite. You must try the custard for dessert. The service has always been great for me, very friendly and inviting. I highly recommend this great little restaurant to hang out with friends for a great meal at an excellent price.
Pros: food, price and service
