About the restaurant

When you walk through the shadowed glass doors of Talulla's, an instant transformation begins to occur. Your mind and body begin to relax. Your ears pick up on the eclectic mix of music. Your eyes wonder around the walls, decorated in Turkish rugs; then the ceilings, scattered with warm, unique lighting pieces; then the floors... the dark, hardwood floors; and finally, across the plush seating areas, disguised by cushions and pillows and fabric leisurely draped around the frames.

Love Talullas. My friend called it Turkish comfort food. Hearty, flavorful, nice-sized portions. Friendly service.

The food was stellar and the staff superb. The only tiny complaint we had was that the Christmas music--an oompa oompa constant unchanging beat for all songs that seemed like the back track to a video game--was actually pretty annoying. And I never complain about music!
