The guys are friendly and have lots of dishes, wallets, and knick knacks. There are also big ticket items too! They have finally launched the food shop a couple of doors down called Luzum where you can now buy their Turkish Delights.

It would be nice if the owner could get off the phone and actually assist the customers. He talked on the phone the entire time I was there. How about marking your items accurately so that I know how much an item costs. I pulled a blanket from the $20 section but at the counter he said $38.

My friends brought over this amazing Turkish Delight the other night for a dinner gathering and I fell in love! It’s the best I’ve ever had. The other man mentioned in a comment it being expensive, and that is true. It’s a little pricey but so worth it! It’s a delicacy for sure. The rose one is made with real rose petals! You can tell the quality of the ingredients and the time and effort put into each one. It’s like eating Art! I’ll definitely be back.

An amazing store with wonderful Turkish imports. Staff were very friendly, and attentive. Sampled the Turkish Delight - they have traditional as well as less-traditional versions. Beautiful goods.

Excellent ambience thousands of miles from home! A warm feeling of authentic Turkish hospitality and presence as you walk through this great store! All sorts of sizes and shapes of Evil Eye ornaments which are part of every Turkish household and establishment in order to guard off the evil spirits! If you're in the mood for Turkish Delight, the flavours are mind boggling, they even have one made of Rose Petals & Pistachios... Thank you Bülent Derdiyok for bringing our culture to Santa Barbara! Tebrik Ederim!

I had the complete opposite experience from the other reviewers when I went in this store over the 4th of July weekend. The guy in the store took rude to a whole new level. All I wanted was to buy a few pieces of lokum (Turkish delight), which I did. Insanely expensive; $1/piece, and not very good. I have no idea what this guy's problem was, but I definitely wasn't welcome once he found out that was all I wanted. There was no one else in the store, so it's not like I was keeping him from making any other sales. I'm assuming there are other sales reps that do a better job in customer relations. I hope so, otherwise this place is going under...if for no other reason than rude service.

This is the best surprise to find in SB. They have the most beautiful lamps. You'll fall in love with all if them and won't be able to decide on one so you'll want to buy several. And the Turkish delights are to die for. I savored ever one of them. You get the best service, I was inquiring about the Turkish coffee and the gentleman helping me made me a sample cup. It was devine. I am going back this weekend and bringing friends. I know they will love it as much as I do.
