“I’ve never had Turkish food but I decided to try it out and it was delicious, I had the donor with lamb and beef and the chicken vegetable soup. Everything was great and good portions too. The bread they brought to the table was amazing as well as the Turkish tea“

“My husband and I was craving some good authentic pizza and let me just say this place DID NOT disappoint. The owner and everyone that worked there was super nice which made me love it even more. I wanted my husband who’s from Baltimore to try zeppole, he’s never heard of it and for me, growing up in Bk and Staten Island it was one of my childhood favs. They didn’t have any made when I asked about it which was fine but while I was in conversation with their delivery driver the owner came out with some. He actually went out of his way to make me some zeppole, and it was delicious and extremely nostalgic for me. He has no idea how that made my day and brought back so many memories to me. Their food is delicious, atmosphere warm and friendly. I recommend this place and we will be back.“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“As soon as my sister and i walked in, we sat down, and i took a look around and saw how beautiful the interior was. The waiter came and took our order and maybe 20-30 after the food arrived. I ordered the truffle polenta while my sister ordered a burger. The food was really good. After we got dessert. We both got the tiramisu. It was great. The total was about $100 dollars, including the tip. The restaurant is full during dinner, so i would recommend reserving a table.“

“Amazing food and warm, friendly staff.“

“I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!! Their food tasted SO good and tasted like it was homemade food. It was made with so much love, and the food was so flavorful and seasoned. Every thing I got, hit. I got the curry chicken platter, and I cleaned my plate. The mint lemonade tasted so fresh and refreshing. The baklava was really good, as well. The customer service was excellent and so homey, as well!“

“Jackie Smalls – My New Favorite Brunch Spot!

I don’t usually go out for brunch because most places serve the same old eggs and pancakes, but Jackie Smalls completely changed my mind. This has to be my favorite breakfast/brunch spot I’ve tried!

I ordered the Freekeh Bowl, Grains of Nazareth, and French Toast, and every dish was incredibly fulfilling and well-balanced. But let me tell you—the French Toast was hands down the best I’ve ever had. They use sourdough bread infused with rose, which adds such a unique flavor. The whipped cream on the side was unbelievably fresh (unlike anything I’ve had before!), and the maple syrup had just the right amount of sweetness.

If you haven’t been to Jackie Smalls yet, you need to give it a try. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!“

“Go. Seriously. We went with a group of six for brunch and every single person was raving about it for days after. Hits every mark - food (first and foremost), service, ambiance. Only ding is that it's a bit hard to get to but if you're already making the trek to Greenpoint, consider Glasserie a must.“

“Incredible opportunity to listen to fantastic music!“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

“Incredibly delicious Mediterranean food. I got the chicken shawarma which was fresh and extremely flavorful. the potatoes and hummus I had as sides were similarly fresh and flavorful. The portions were generous, and they even threw in a piece of baklava! Some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in the city“

“We went to Rola’s for the first time Saturday night and it will definitely not be our last time. The place is so cozy perfect for a date night or for dinner with family. The food is amazing! We tried the Rolas appetizer spread platter delicious, the lentil soup delicious, the kufta kebab delicious, the lamb chops delicious! Everything was perfect! We can’t wait to be back. Definitely don’t hesitate everyone should try Rola’s you will NOT be disappointed.“

“My family wasn’t familiar with Turkish food, but we decided to try this restaurant because of the great reviews. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was, and the staff was so friendly, making our dining experience comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you, Salih!“

“It was my last lunch in NY before going back to my country. But!! This CAVA gave me soooo great experience. I am so touched by their service and kindness. The staff has also positive mind. I would definitely revisit here. Thank you for giving me great time.“

“The food is good and service is excellent. We had the price fixe“

“😊❤️❤️‍🔥🔥😮😍💕👍👌✌️“

“Very impressed. It’s not often that you go to a downtown restaurant these days and have good service along with good food and a good atmosphere. Everything was seriously delicious. We were bummed out that they didn’t have any Bronzino, considering our table doesn’t eat any meat or shellfish. We got the Dover soul as a replacement for the Bronzino, we all really normally like Dover soul, but this was not prepared well.
The chef was super accommodating and replaced the item for another salad. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. They were super accommodating with large parties and I think overall this spot will be a staple.“

“Everything was just perfect! A restaurant in an excellent location, personal and kind treatment and food at a very high standard, simply everything we ordered was delicious! All the staff members are nice and helpful and the place is stunning in its beauty beyond its fascinating story! Every time I'll come to New York I will definitely go to the Kashkabal Garden 🥇“

“I love Turkish food and I have traveled to Turkey many times, so I have a comparison basis. This is another Americanized Turkish food restaurant. I ordered the grilled meatballs (in reality they are called kofte, but they don't say that on the menu). They tasted like burger patties, missing the kofte spices. Service was great, but I wished for real Turkish food, not American version. They played it safe and as a result it's a little inauthentic and blah. It's good food but it doesn't stand out.“

“It is a very tasty and very clean restaurant, I definitely recommend it.Ali Bey opened a nice restaurant, thank you“

“Went here for brunch for NYC Restaurant week and did not disappoint!! Great service, delicious food and yummy drinks!! Will definitely come back!! Such a cozy cute atmosphere too!!“

“So stoked to finally have our fav Toronto Mediterranean hotspot now available in the Big Apple. The lamb baklava is a MUST and paired with a Mezcal Smokeshow… 🔥“

“Was looking for Mediterranean food for my wife and I on a casual evening out and we were not disappointed. Super friendly/helpful staff, wonderful atmosphere, and a wonderful selection of food. My wife and I got a bowl and we both loved it. If you are looking for a counter style Mediterranean place to eat this is a fantastic choice! All the food is made fresh. My wife ordered pita chips and falafel on the side and both were made fresh when we ordered. The pita chips were thick and super crispy. The falafel was incredibly moist too. Highly recommend!“

“Best Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant in nyc. You have to try it.“

“I cannot say enough good things about my experience at this restaurant. The food was spectacular. I will dream about it. Service was prompt and polite. Best middle eastern food I have had in a long time. If you are in the area, you must stop by. It’s worth it!“

“Great healthy food 🥘 nice location“

“Amizigh Food Truck was hired for our company picnic and everyone loved the food! They had a staff of 3 friendly workers and the line moved fast. I had a combination Moroccan chicken, Shawarma, and Falafel combination bowl that was so good! The burritos also looked great, as did the vegetarian options. So glad my company chose them!“

“Cassandra provided the best customer experience! At this location for such difficult guests we had our dad trying something new and she was very patient w us and kind and courteous making our experience so pleasant ! Thank you Cassandra 🫶🏾“

“Very friendly staff. Great LES atmosphere“

“Each time I eat here I'm at a loss for words, but I'll try: My office is nearby and my coworkers and I have a tier list for 35+ local restaurants of all varieties. This one is at spot number 1. Their falafel is peerless, impeccable and downright divine. The chicken shawarma bursts with flavor within you and has a beautiful contrasting crust. The fries are gorgeous and extremely flavorful. The hummus is perfect.“

“Amazing experience with delicious food and drinks. Can’t wait to visit again. Staff was super friendly. And atmosphere was amazing !!! Bravo“
