Nefista Vegan Kofteh / Çiğ Köfte

Very tasty flavors. Must taste!

Best Baklava ever!!! Also, delicious chickpeas wrap and super friendly staff. I'll definitely come back for more baklava ????

I bit into my chickpea burrito and almost cried - it was so good. It tasted so wholesome and filling and satisfying.... like grandma cooked with love. so much nutrition - thank you guys! I need it.

Amazing place! Professional environment.. amazing food & staff is super friendly. Highly recommended

Delightfully flavored cuisine. Informative and helpful staff. Disappointingly, though, the restaurant's signage and name were somewhat misleading. It had seemed that Nefista Vegan Kofteh was actually going to be a vegan restaurant. They do have many vegan offerings such as the Kofteh, but their baklavah uses butter and they have non-vegan cheese in certain dishes as well. These, though, would be easy for them to switch over to become a completely vegan establishment. Tahir seemed interested but also somewhat reluctant. He explained that he was merely a franchise of a broader establishment. He claimed that they would not let him use vegan cheese instead of their Turkish cheese, but he did indicate that he might be able to just eliminate cheese from the menu. He did agree that vegan butter would work just as well for the baklava, and they are already not using honey. He said he was going to speak with his baker. I let him know that I would be glad to further help them if they wanted to make such positive changes. Regardless, it was an enjoyable dining experience. It was my first Turkish restaurant opportunity, and it was quite intriguing. The Kofteh wrap was such a delightful blend of tastes and textures. The paste was nicely spiced and worked wonderfully well with the multitude of crisp veggies and fresh herbs he carefully included in the excellent creation.
