I don't get why this place has such a relatively lower score, as I tried their food last night, and I found it to be very good. I had the Adana Kebab …

Bumped into this place on Whyte Ave and had a hankering for stuffed grape leaves. We walked in on a whim and walked out with 2 orders. They were absolutely delicious! I’ll be back for a shawarma next time!
Absolutely recommended! Middle eastern food at its best! This is my first time in this restaurant but I will be back shortly. The dessert selection is amazing!
Finally, we have been blessed with gzleme in Edmonton I ordered a delivery consisting of sucuk/cheese pide, beef and cheese pide, and spinach/cheese gzleme. Everything was fresh and flavourful, and they included a salad with the order as well. If you’ve never had gzleme, hie you hence to Simit House – you won’t regret it. Make sure to give it a squeeze of fresh lemon on top!
After reading a review of Simit House in VUE Weekly, I knew I had to try this place. Honestly, what’s not for me to like? They serve Turkish grilled meats, they have pide bread (ground meat baked on top of bread), they have more meats, they have baked savoury pastries filled with feta and spinach and beef and potato, and they have baked sweet pastries! HEAVEN!I had the combo platter that consisted of two grilled ground meats kebab (beef and lamb) served on a bed of bulgur wheatwith fries, pide bread, and pickled red cabbage. I never knew pickled red cabbage could be this addictive–and this is coming from a man who is of the mindset that salad is lawn trimmings.But I digress.The food was absolutely delicious and filling. And as hungry as I was, it took me a fair bit of time to eat it all.The only big negative for me about this place is that I saw only one person (perhaps the owner?) working. When I walked in that afternoon, no staff was in sight although there was a table of three occupied. I walked to the counter and checked out the baked pastries behind the partition and I sat down and waited for someone to appear. About five minutes or so later, this man came out from the back (the kitchen) and came to my table to take my order. I honestly can say my kebab platter took at least 15 or 20 minutes to prepare. I can only imagine how long the wait would’ve been if it had been a full house.I suppose it’s not this man’s fault. I understand it’s a small family business and I’m sure this man has help in the kitchen but, honestly, I know most people will not want to wait that long for their food if only one person takes the orders, cooks the food, brings out the food and writes up and keys in the order on the till. That’s a lot of work for just one person in a restaurant setting.I know, however, I will be back again to try some of the savoury (and sweet) baked pastries. Again, what’s NOT to like about baked phyllo pastry stuffed with savoury spinach and feta, ground beef, and potato? Turkish Delish!
A great place to have snacks or food. We had so many different snacks and light meals. All the prices were so cheap. The mood of the restaurant just takes you to Turkey.
This place is great. It’s not fine dining, but it’s quite cheap and delicious. The lahmacun, pide, gozleme, and simits are all worth trying. I haven’t tried the kebabs yet, but they look decent. Get a lahmacun and you can have a filling lunch for $4.50.
Mid-priced high-quality Turkish food in a decent ‘cafe’ atmosphere (no, not a shisha bar!). Family run business with yummy grilled meats, boreks (meat or spinach/cheese mix in folded layers of pastry) and amazing homemade desserts. The lahmacun (Turkish pizza) is a large pita-like bread topped with ground beef and spicy red pepper spread, served with a salad on the side……. probably the best filling lunch one can get on Whyte for less than five bucks! Will be back to try their kebab combos and breakfast platters.Go adventurous and try out this great addition to Whyte Ave!
