I went there for lunch today. They said only their lamb is halal. I ate vegetarian. The ambiance is good. A bit on the pricey side.

Came here on a Friday evening but luckily was a bit early so we were able to get seating outside since it was a nice September day. Staff was super friendly and attentive and offered to help us through the menu and offer suggestions. We ended up with the Beyti Kebab, which was excellent and glad we ordered it. The meat inside was tender and had a nice smoky taste to it. The lamb shank was fall off the bone as you'd expect it to be and the sauce was amazing as well. We actually liked the combination of the betyi kebab with the lamb sauce together. Gazpacho was an excellent addition as well since it was a bit warm out and really hit the spot. The bread as well as the hummus were great, especially the bread, so much so that we ended up asking for more bread to dip the sauces in! We have this on our short list of restaurants now to eat at in Los Altos and will definitely be back to eat through their menu!

Was here for brunch and ordered the steak sandwich which I requested to be served not as a sandwich! The food was an absolute delight and the staff were super friendly. Really enjoyed our time here and would love to come back.

We dined at Urfa on a Friday night and had a wonderful experience. We will be coming back for sure. It was fairly busy, so we were glad that we had made a reservation. The food was excellent, we especially enjoyed the cold appetizer platter, the beyti kebab, and the chocolate mousse. The waiters were attentive and friendly and we felt welcomed immediately. They also provided recommendations that were delicious! Overall, an excellent dinner at one of the best restaurants in Los Altos.
