Came for the coffee, stayed for the food! Really cool experience in this budding area. Its a very authentic Turkish cafe vibe and I love it! Tried out the falafel and it was 😙👌🏾!! Perfect portions of everything and it wasnt even expensive! The Turkish coffee was nice and strong too! Great for a date night!

Absolutely wonderful, romantic, very nice dining experience! Food was great! We will return!

Great food, absolutely unique and cozy atmosphere. We will be coming here a lot in the future! Get the Turkish coffee after your meal ;)

Delicious food!!BYOB and dont forget to pack your patience. They are trying to hire servers but the owner shared that he is struggling to find help.Use the time to soak in the decor and enjoy the conversation with your friends over a nice glass of wine that you didnt overpay for.Once your food arrives youll continue the experience savoring every bite!

Horrible service. I wanted to try this restaurant so I came in at 8:25pm for dinner. I was seated by a male server with long black hair who then told me that the restaurant closes at 9:00pm although online it states 9:30pm and on their menu it states 10:00pm. Although he said it politely i didn’t understand why his remark was needed and I could clearly tell he did not want us to stay. I think it’s common rule that once you’re in a restaurant before closing time you’ll be able to sit and eat but I guess not for this place. Another couple came in and left right away when he told them the same thing so I decided to definitely leave. I will not be back as I do not like my time wasted.

What a gem of a dining experience! Quaint home conversion to an intimate dining experience with ample table space and ambient lighting. Plenty of parking. Exceptional wait staff - menu items genuine to the Turkish cuisine and everything we tried was exceptional. BYOB - a truly terrific value for a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

Truly one of the best Turkish restaurants. It’s a treasure. I love the Döner Kebab, Babaganush, and tabouli. You will love this place!

I cannot give this place enough stars. 5 doesn’t cut it. Every bite was sooo good. Everyone in our party was thoroughly impressed. We had the lamb chops and the kabob plates.The evening was capped by some of the best deserts. The milk pudding and the thing with the hot syrup and feta cheese were THE BEST!!Service was so good. Our server was incredibly nice and knowledgeable. The chef made sure we enjoyed everything was really nice also. We will be back many many times.

Went here for the first time for Valentines Day and we were so impressed. Delicious food, dessert, and great attentive service. Also. BYOB! Great ambiance - will definitely be back.🌟

Best babaganoush in town. Fresh pita bread. Delicious dishes. Friendly service.The atmosphere is awesome. Very unique

Always great experience eating there. Little disappointed to see they now charge for extra pita bread.

We had been by this place so many times and we decided to finally check it out, the byob option was a pleasant experience and the food was spectacular! Thanks Kendra for making our date night amazing - you have made us into repeat customers, can’t wait to come back!

This hidden gem in Fort Worth Southside is simply perfect. The ambient lighting, wood panel interior with carpets on display brings you to a peaceful place. After a night at the Modern, viewing David Parks opening show, dinner at The Flying Carpet was a truly magical experience. Thanks to the waitstaff and chef for creating such a special place. We literally felt like we were inside a scene from Aladdin. Great job here.

The food is wonderful, great staff and the best baklava in the world. I highly recommend The Flying Carpet Turkish Cafe.

Delicious food and beautiful decor- especially safe and distanced during COVID.

Waitress was a treat and very happy to give recommendations. Decor was awesome, and the food was very well spiced.I went with some Lamb, and then finished up with a Turkish coffee, no sugar. I loved it all and found it to be worth the money, but it was a bit on the pricey side (if only but a few dollars).Tempted to go here, do it!

Every time Ive eaten here the food has been fresh, well seasoned, and just delicious! I recommend trying the specials they change up. Its a true Mediterranean culinary delight!

Their Kabab is tasty. Moreover, Turkish coffee is excellent. However, the Baklava is not what I expected.

Quaint little restaurant hidden away from the main street in an old house. I went there for my sons birthday per his wish. Wow is all I can say. Food was delicious. I had the Donner kabob and would have ordered another plate if I could have had more room in my stomach.

Absolutely wonderful! A very unique setting, a wooden house look similar to a log cabin, filled with Turkish decor. Romantic. Easy parking, (they have their own parking lot). We went at 8 pm on a Friday and there was no wait. Everything on the menu sounded amazing. The desert list too. The lamb chops were incredible. This place is a must go, at least go for desert and coffee.

First time to dine here.....it was fantastic. Everything we got was delicious. I will definitely go back.

The food is always fresh, and always delicious!! The atmosphere is really cool, its clearly an old house converted into this really neat restaurant. I dig this place alot!

Good food and good service. They were not, “checking in every 2 minutes” like other places. It was nice to sit down, in a restaurant, and enjoy an undisturbed meal.Also, the chicken was amazing!!!

Delicious! We got the lamb kebab over yogurt and pita, it was definitely something to come back for. Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor. The only thing I wouldnt get again was the yogurt drink which was smooth, but very salty. This is clearly described in the menu, I just wanted to give it a try and decided the unusual taste was not for me. For dessert be sure to try the baklava paired with Turkish coffee.

Amazing Dinner!From.the decor, the ambiance, the dimmed lights, and awesome vibes this place provided a sense of comfort, home feeling and excelent food. Had the mix appetizer which brings babaganoush, hummus, and 2 other egg plants semisweet semi spiced dip with original turkish bread, follow by lamb and chicken kabab with rice and salad ending with sweet apricots with almonds and a excellent Turkish coffee...The food was well spiced and cooked, they do not serve alcohol which is fine by me, but is a bring your own bottle type of place.In the middle of a pandemic this place was very well sanitized, follow social distance protocols and are very welcoming...Thanks Flying carpet for providing after 8months a great date night feeling...

Great date night place! Service and food top notch! Its also BYOB 😃

Fantastic food and great service ! Ambience was perfect

The food was good. The dolma that was hidden on the appetizer sampler, and it only came with one, was superb. Most of the time, you get tough leaves wrapping mush. Gross. This one was a soft leaf wrapping up a balance of textures, while still soft was not mushy. The flavor was perfect. Hint of mint and a good amount of sweet to offset the more earthy grain and herb flavors. I dont like talking about flavors and textures, but this was absolutely the best dolma Ive ever had. I wanted more. The different dips were good, but I should have finished on the dolma. Hard to top perfect.The spanakopita was good, but my only criticism, and I dont think Im really competent to criticize, because they may have meant this and I just wasnt getting it, but the crust was not dry leaf crispy, fall apart by looking at it too hard kind of crispy my ignorance demands a spinach pie should have. I would have liked a crispier pastry. It was still tasty, but the lack of crispiness was distracting.The calf liver... Im not sure how to describe this experience. Im one of the few folks that genuinely likes the taste of liver. When I get liver, I want to taste liver. Let me start by saying it was good. I finished all of it. It was not bad or even mediocre. It was good. However, the flavor of the lover was somehow muted. I dont know how they did it, but the texture was perfect, the smell was great, and when I took the first bite, I was expecting an explosion of the soft, supple lover explosion Im used to getting when I make liver. Instead, I got a perfectly textured mildly seasoned oneself.that reminded one of the taste of liver in a subtle way. I was disappointed with the lack of robust liver flavor, but thats just me. Most times you get the opposite - overpowering liver funk that is like eating suede shoe leather. This was lover for people who probably dont like liver. Maybe liver for folks who want to get their feet wet.Everything was good if not excellent. The staff was very nice, very helpful, and very attentive. She even helped me.understand how to get the awesome foam on Turkish coffee. Its an art, and I had no idea how much of an art until.she told me.about young Turkish girls being taught how to make the coffee. Ask about it, its an interesting story. Everything about the place was charming, and I look forward to trying more dishes there.The atmosphere was very laid back, quiet, and clean. It is a very good place to have a nice dining experience. The dolma, though... Thats the highlight. Theyre usually always so mushy, bland, or bitter at other places. Theyre not worth getting most of the time at other places. This one (I emphasize one because they really should put more on there) at this place seemed more congenial, less jaded with the world and fresh faced, ready to face life and all its possibilities. Food that surprises and pleases you like this makes you excited about life.

We have used to love this place for snacks and dessert so it’s heartbreaking to write this review. We came for dinner, had some appetizers and we inquired about hosting a private event. The manager came by to ask us questions- as soon as we mentioned we were looking for vegetarian options he said we don’t do that and walked away. No explanations, nothing lol! We chuckled and found it extremely rude but continued to enjoy our evening. Later, we ordered a kunefe which had spoiled and sour cheese. We told our waitress who discussed with the chef and brought back our dessert saying that no one else had problem eating that so you shouldn’t either . We left the remaining food, paid and left. Will never come back again! We felt really neglected and found their behavior very rude.

Great food in a cozy atmosphere.

Happy staff and selections! Breath of fresh air. Started coming here a couple of summers ago and had a lovely lunch with my kiddo! Its like stepping into another world for a little while.

Disappointed. The food was really good but the service was so bad. The waitress was super rude. She took my moms order then turned around and took the other tables order. She never introduced herself or anything. She brought out our appetizers and no bread. Maybe it was an off night for her but Ive been a waitress before and theres no excuse for her behavior. The owner or manager did try to make it right. He noticed that we were being ignored. The table next to us waited for their credit card for over 20mins. They had the same complaints as us too. We overheard them talking about how little they were going to tip her. I did enjoy the food though.

Too much to list but the food was good, Ive had better and Ive had worse. The service was terrible. We were left with no drink order (only table water), partial orders and what we think was the owner brought us water refills and we had to ask for flatbread - Twice.Since the waitress never let us know her name, all I can say is that she was wearing a mask with a Michael Jordan logo on her left side of the mask.It wasnt busy so thats no excuse, and if shes new that would not be an excuse either since a new person would actually try to do a good job, she however, did not. Turning your back on your customers without addressing everyone at the table is just rude.$120+ later and we are not happy at all.Not asking for a coupon or a discount just wanted to let everyone know our experience and that we will never be back.

This place was delicious. Very authentic.

Good waitress. Food is pricey. I could have gotten a better deal for the food somewhere else.

First time here and the food and service is top amazing and quality! The servers and environment is like home and certainly gives a welcoming to the guests. 12/10 highly recommend!

Great service and very good Turkish food.

Quaint and cozy, diamond in the rough. The food is good. The servers were kind. We got the appetizer sampler and falafel for a late evening light meal. BYOB.

Wonderful place!! We loved the food, service, interior, and overall vibe of the place. The appetizers were incredible and the lamb entree was so tender! Such a unique food experience in Fort Worth.

Decided to give this place a shot as I love Middle Eastern cuisine, got the dolmas and falafel, both came out within seconds and tasted days old. The dolmas were way too sweet. Lamb main course either was not lamb at all, or was mixed with beef. Save your time and go to Cafe Istanbul. This place is overpriced and not homemade food. Decided to give 3 stars for the ambiance and decor.

So amazing. Great food, and even more amazing service.

The food was awesome! The service was excellent. I was searching for a great Mediterranean restaurant and they definitely delivered. I absolutely recommend this place for anyone looking to expand their palate. Truly excellent food. The dining room was nicely set up, clean and inviting. I can’t wait to invite more friends to enjoy this little restaurant.

This place is amazing. Great food, customer service and social distancing practices.

If you are familiar with Turkish cuisine then this place is not for you. Food is awful. Beautiful ambiance, friendly staff.

Always delish! Great appetizers and soups, doner plate was wonderful for dinner, lamb chops were great, and dessert and Turkish coffee to end the meal. They have the most yummy cherry juice for a drink as well. Love this place!

The Flying Carpet Turkish Cafe is always a place that my boyfriend and I take our friends when they come from out of town. The lunch special is awesome and allows you to have a variety of healthy and tasty foods with many options to choose from at affordable prices. You also get a soup or salad, along with a dish with a protein, rice, and salad. Ive tried all of the options and my favorite is the chicken kebab. The baklava is amazing as well! It comes with crumbled pistachios on top- it wasnt too sweet at all. The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxed, and the staff is very informative and friendly.

Very nice place. It was a quiet evening and there were several couples all enjoying their evening dinner. The food is very good. It is Mediterranean cuisine but the flavor profiles are different than typical med. chains. The chicken saute dish I had was very savory with crisp vegetables and moist chicken.Excellent babaganoush!

We love this place! Falafel and doner kebab are our favorites. Always good consistent quality. We have only done takeout, but the inside is cozy and welcoming. Support this magnolia gem!

Amazing authentic food and great service. Interior is so adorable, delicious vegetarian and meat dishes. Definitely will be back!

My husband and I just enjoyed a fabulous dinner with our two young daughters ages 5 and 1.5. The food was wonderful but the service and ambiance far exceeded five stars!!! The chef personally came to our table when he was informed of my allergies and created a delicious meal for me. Our server was very attentive and went out of his way to make our five year old smile. After our meal, the very polite chef came to our table again and brought us a delectable dessert, and one custom made for me too- it was magnificent! Finally, at the conclusion of our meal when our daughter exclaimed how delicious the (complimentary) dessert was, the chef brought her an extra piece boxed for her to take home and have tomorrow- all the while his only concern was her happiness. With regard to price, we felt that they were priced very appropriately and honestly we wouldn’t mind paying a bit more for the quality of service we received. The average meal was about $12. My husband’s meal, a combo with both chicken and lamb kabob was $17. We chose for our two daughters to share an adult meal which will feed them for two days- they had the chicken kabob which was accompanied by rice and salad for $14. Finally, I personally thought the beautifully carved wooden box our bill came in was a very nice touch! We absolutely will be returning!

Weve always had a great time. Weve had the same waiter & hes always been great! We love the atmosphere, music, & of course the food which is well seasoned, prepared, & is presented beautifully. Its also nice to be able to BYOB. The baklava is wonderful! Great for special occasions too.

Went here a couple months ago. Just gonna say looks can be pretty deceiving. The parking lot and surrounding area don’t look very great but the food is so good. It was very tasty and filling without being too much. Well seasoned. Though make sure to leave room for dessert, it’s to die for, I had this pudding and cinnamon thing *chef kisses*, I asked for another to go.

Great service and really good food.

Good food and very nice staff!

Good food, fabulous server

One of my favorite restaurants in all of Fort Worth!

We havent eaten out since March 4th this year because of Covid. We made Flying Carpet our first takeout in over five months. We love this place. Food was delicious and takeout was quick and easy. We cant wait to dine in again :)

Fantastic Turkish food and excellent service.

This quaint little place with a whimsical name popped up when I searched for hookah lounges in the area. Unfortunately, they were out of coals and unable to serve hookah. Oh well. We stayed because we were hungry and Mediterranean food sounded ok. So while I cant say much about the quality of their hookah, I can say that their pita bread comes from a package and is simply grilled/heated before being served. Their rice tastes exactly like Uncle Bens packaged rice. I found it odd that the interior of this place was so formal looking with white tablecloths and dressed up couples sharing bottles of expensive wine at the nearby tables. The food definitely did not merit that kind of atmosphere. The decor was very pretty though. We probably wont be back.

Last week was the first time we visited this restaurant. But It is absolutely not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the courteous service, with the excellent meal and fine drinks and with the honest charge. We will no doubt come back soon.

Be prepared to be whisked away to your best friends mothers house in a neighborhood that is swiftly being overtaken by large development. Walk in and be hugged by the delightfully appointed decor, wood on wood, with flying carpets used as paintings. My dining companion and I have never veered from the appetizer section, filling our table with small plates. We discovered that we needed to order two red pepper dips and two zucchini pancakes. Then we get a different side each, last night falafel (accompanied by a small salad with an addictive vinaigrette) and an eggplant and tomato relish. Along with heavenly fluffy gyro triangles, this is enough to satisfy as a meal to dream about until we return.

Delicious food, great atmosphere and excellent service

Oh my goodness this was a wonderful experience. My daughter took me for my birthday and it was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back to experience more flavors and textures offered. The dishes were so authentic, prepared daily, hand picked and shopped for by Ownership & Chef. He made sure we were taken care of and enjoyed our meal prepared to his specifications. This is definitely a favorite. I cant wait to go again....this Saturday maybe :) Be sure to make a reservation.

One of the best date night spots in the city. The food is outstanding and the fact that its BYOB makes it affordable. The interior is cozy and covered in beautiful rugs. Make sure to make reservations on the weekend.

Excellent food and service. A unique place to eat. It exceeded or expectations. The donerr kabob is b really good. The babaganush is some of the best I have had. It was very fresh tasting.

Best Mediterranean meal Ive had in a LONG time in quiet, peaceful beautiful surroundings!

The doner kebab is really good. At first glance it looks a little expensive, but it is soooo worth it. The garlic rice that comes with the kebab alone is worth it. All in all this place is very good, i will definitiely go back and try something else.

This spot is worth giving a shot. They have large portions for convenient prices. Consistently well kept and with fantastic atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.

Excellent lamb and Turkish coffee

Great food!. I just love lamb and eggplant dishes and they have many. Tender meat and smokey flavorful eggplant do not disappoint. The atmosphere is lovely too. More than casual dining with gorgeous rugs on the walls in a beautiful wooden building.

Awesome decor, very relaxed ambiance, Incredible Food , Great Chef with cool personality...We were there to celebrate our friends anniversary and what a perfect decision!We had Hummus and Babbagannoush for cold starters and Sigara Borek for hot appetizer.Hummus was so fresh and tasty ; Sigara borek was golden crispy with just the right amount of cheese.We had mixed kebap platter and our friend got the lamb chops.Everything was cooked to perfection and the Chef came to our table couple of times to ask if everything was OK.At the end of the night we had “baklava” and the Chef sent us “Kunefah” as a gift.Was a perfect night and I wish we discovered this place long time ago ; going forward we will be regulars....5 Stars from us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent food all around, from appetizers to lunch entrees to desserts. The ambiance is great and the staff is amazingly friendly. I could fill an entire page with everything that impressed me, my wife, and her sister and brother-in-law, but to keep the review succinct Ill just say I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It is fantastic!

My husband and I love this place for authentic Turkish food! The ambience inside is wonderful as well, and the service is excellent.

The restaurant is extraordinary and broad, the menu was yummy and the prices were very fair. quickly, efficient service and very affable staff. I highly recommend this place.

Yesterday was our first time we visited this magnificent restaurant. But It is obviously not the last time. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the finest cuisine and wine and with the friendly price. We will definitely return there in a short time.

Wonderful FoodAnd great service

This was my first introduction to Turkish food and I loved it. I had a few questions and all were answered by the friendly staff. The food was wonderful and interesting. The deserts and coffee ended my evening perfectly.

Great food and wait staff. Portions size will fill you up and make you happy. Make a reservation to insure seating. Also they are BYOB. so grab a bottle or two and get there.

Food poorly cooked and service was bad. Server had attitude when i asked for a straw.

Its good food but a bit pricey. Excellent venue authentic and cozy. If you like eggplant or lamb at about $24/person you will like it. The cherry juice is excellent.

Absolutely delicious authentic Turkish food! I brought my German relatives here and they absolute loved it! Reminded them of the döner kebabs back in Germany, which has a great Turkish influence. The restaurant itself is very cozy and service was superb! 12/10 would return.

This place its amazing. The decor is so nice. Very intimate. The food was excellent and the service was also great.

Fine spot for quality Turkish food. Good place to catch up with friends. The prices are well within reason for the quality. Food and atmosphere reminds me of Kansas City.

Very quiet early on a weekday, but didnt bother us at all. Lovely setting, wonderful meal, and our server was very sweet. Will be back!

Very clean and accessible place. They serve large meals and for economical rates. We loved the menu a lot and the staff were very amiable and chatty. I recommend this place.

Food was pretty good, but super salty. I couldnt eat my entire meal because my tongue felt on fire.

The food was incredible. So many lovely flavors. What a great rendition of Turkish food. The kebabs are unreal and the cabbage rolls are so tasty. The atmosphere is so quaint and the staff are kind and knowledgeable and excited about their food. Turkish coffee was amazing and their pistachios dessert was one of the best things we have ever eaten. We will go back. Byob makes it cheaper to try different options. This place is greatness

I had found this place last minute by pure coincidence. Asked my friend if she would try this with me, and we definitely did not regret this! The food was amazing!!! The chef even came out to see how everything was, and as we were leaving, again, he made sure we enjoyed our visit! The ambiance is so cozy! Will definitely be back very soon! A hidden gem and a must try in Fort Worth!!!

Good food; Kunefe dessert is excellent

Quiet spot with quaint decor. Wifey and I got there as it opened so not busy. Food was great, had chicken and lamb. Turkish coffee was strong and delicious. Prices were reasonable and parking was plentiful. Will visit again. Hookah was available as well for $20.

The staff is so friendly and the food is so delicious! We got the pita plate that came with different spreads and the ground lamb kabobs! Finished off with a tasty dessert and coffee. Will definitely come back! And the womens bathroom is so cool!

Came in for lunch service. It was fantastic. Will be back soon.

Must try cozy spot. Food is always great. Loved everything I tried but faves are probably the lentil soup and roasted eggplants. Also if youre a coffee lover, get the Turkish coffee after a good meal. You wont regret it.

Had a good experience in this place with my wife. The food was served rapidly and the service is just great. Prices are reasonable.

Food was delicious!

This is easily one of the best, most unique restaurants in town. We have been here countless times for lunch and dinner. The quality is high caliber, the atmosphere lovely, the service is friendly, and they are open late and BYOB! Perfect date location or a place to dine with a group, luxuriously enjoying scrumptious food. Reminds me of the quaint restaurants in Paris.

Would absolutely recommend trying this spot. Great character, yummy food, awesome customer service. Fantastic work.

Definitely not authentic Turkish FoodMany Arabic spices

First time I have had Turkish and I loved it! Quaint place with good atmosphere as well as wonderful service. I would come back here anytime I am in the area as well as coming back for a date night!
