The restaurant was quiet as well as family friendly. The Turkish decorations were very attractive.

Great food and excellent service, but the surprise was the excellent Turkish wines! We are wine snobs, and were way impressed. read more Great food and excellent service, but the surprise was the excellent Turkish wines! We are wine snobs, and were way impressed.

My dinner companion and I were last there three years ago during another Golden State Warriors playoff series and it was time to return. Our meal started with a complimentary, fragrant and tasty loaf of home baked bread. We split both appetizers, including Piyaz $10), a type of fava bean salad, and Halikarnas $14), a delicious dish with fish, prawns, and scallops in a picante red sauce. Of the two, we both felt that the Halikarnas was a “we must try this again” selection. We also shared our main courses shown in photos): salmon filet $22), which was cooked to order, and the “Bird’s Nest” $18), a delicious vegetarian combination served in – you guessed it – noodles in the shape of a bird’s nest. Both entrees were excellent. Our waiter, Deniz, provided the excellent service we have always come to expect at Pera. Our total bill, including tax and tip, came to a reasonable $42 per person. Highly recommended!

This is a relaxed spot for enjoying Turkish and Greek cuisine. We visited for brunch, and everything was quite enjoyable. read more This is a relaxed spot for enjoying Turkish and Greek cuisine. We visited for brunch, and everything was quite enjoyable.
