Mosaic Cafe Restaurant

A hidden gem on the Ocean front! The food was really good and authentic. All the meat served is halal. We had the pide, Adana wrap and kunafah. I will be coming back to try their breakfast.

Absolutely loved it! Friendly staff with great food is always a win. You order when you come in and they assign you a table from there. Not a long wait at all and super efficient. As a local, I will definitely be coming back.

This quaint Turkish restaurant is unusual but welcome find in beachfront Virginia Beach with every American favorite and middle Eastern favorite as well. I couldn't ask for more friendly service. Only 4 stars because any place without refillable drinks can't have 5 stars in my book

This review is based on breakfast, which was very good. I had the standard 2-egg, bacon, potato and pancake breakfast (with no modifications). The bacon had a good lean/fat ratio, and was crispy without being burned. It was about as perfect as one could expect bacon to be prepared. The portion was reasonable (2 pieces), although I'm sure many folks would prefer a giant greasy pile. If so, waddle either north or south to any of several nearby waffle/pancake houses.

The potatoes were nicely prepared with the skin intact and minimal grease. They were not seasoned in any way I could discern (e.g. no rosemary). They were perfect for sopping up the egg yolk.

I did not eat the entire pancake, but it was very good, even with just butter.

I also had a Latte, which was perfectly prepared. It arrived quickly, followed not too long after by the meal.

The interior has a calm feeling, with modern Turkish (?) rock music in the background.

You order and pay to your right upon entering. Google & Apple pay are accepted. You are then assigned a numbered table. This is a good system, especially during a pandemic. It reduces the load on wait staff, and allows you to leave whenever you are ready.

The hot sauce shown in the photo on the eggs & potatoes is from a packet of cayenne pepper sauce brought on request.

Best restaurant in Oceanfront! You should really visit here. Its hidden gem in Virginia Beach. The Kebab is so delicious and the Baklava… It’s a Turkish dessert that they make it with pistachio. It is from out of this world

Their pictures lie. I ordered western omelette, and the pictures on the menu looks good. The breads on the pictures looked like they were homemade Georgian baked in the restaurant. My order took very long. I was shocked when I got it. The $11+ omelette was overcooked. It’s brown and spongy. Eggs were over whipped making it spongy. The onions were burnt. Finally, it did not come with the nice bread on the pictures. It’s just a slice of white bread toasted and cut diagonally. It’s so easy to cook an omelette, and they really messed this up. I want to give them just one star, but I’m going to be nice. Not coming back.

Everything was 5 Star. Manager Emir and rest of the staff were very accommodating for our large party. Very well organized.

Wish they had donor :(
Adana was really good.

The food was brought out quickly once we placed the order. But the service after we got the food was really slow. They never brought us the water, until I had to go ask a 2nd time. Overall it was fine.

I'm giving 3 stars due to their horrible service, but the food is really good. I dined in and did take out as well, for dine in they barely come around and for takeout the guy was really annoyed of my questions. Other than that the food is really good and they have halal meat, you have to try the pide and the Sujuk(dried beef like pepperoni), I don't recommend pancakes tho cause my bf got the peanut butter pancake and it barely had any peanut butter. But we tried the Sujuk and spinach pide and eggs with Sujuk and the mosaic burger (which I didn't like the turkey bacon cause too crisp almost burnt but burger meat was good) and a pineapple/strawberry smoothie and all was really good. I strongly recommend pide and Sujuk! The decor is nice for dine in, but due to their service and that guy who was rude I avoided them after that but that's just my opinion you can give it a try and see!

Went for the experience. The fries were great. Ordered the spinach pida and thought it would have more flavor. Chalk that up to inexperience on Turkish pidas. Would definitely go back to try something different.
