Turkish Restaurants near Carlstadt, NJ

“Had a quaint dinner party with 29 people and it was phenomenal, from the service to the food. My advice, if you want to walk around, dance and take pictures comfortably, definitely no more than 20 people in the patio area. That’s just my humble review, you do you! Everyone still had a great time with the space that was provided.
Thank you Hunkar Family for being so accommodating and being a part of making our wedding night so special! We deeply appreciated it.“

“PIDDE DELICIOUS PLACE IN NEW JERSEY;
I’ve been living in the U.S. for 16 years, and the thing I’ve missed and loved the most is lahmacun. After trying it at PIDDE, I’ve never had lahmacun anywhere else again. At other places I’ve tried over the years, I always experienced heartburn afterward — but never at PIDDE.

It’s a place you can visit with your family and feel completely at ease. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.🙏“

“Great service and amazing food“

“Fantastic Doner, the cuisine is exceptional.“

“The Turkish food here is of high quality. We had the mixed platter of cold appetizers and the mixed meat entree. So yummy! The host and waiters were very welcoming and efficient. When they made a mistake and forgot a side we ordered, they still brought it late and did not charge us. Then they brought us tea and baklava on the house. They want you to leave happy. The sign of a well-run business. We’ll be back for sure.“

Me and my wife had a pleasure to have lunch with tasty meals. Adana was perfect, must visit place to eat and relax. Wish you all the best!“

“This is a nice Turkish Restaurant easy to see right of 2nd Ave serving the LES and the adjacent area of Manhattan. Small dining room. Traditional Turkish Menu. Mixed Grill plate, Donner, and Lac Majun are all good. Nice staff. Manhattan prices so bring credit cards 💳. Give this place a try if you’re in the area. We will definitely be going back.“

“very outstanding service also great food 🍱“

“Excellent! Definitely recommend this to anyone interested in Turkish Cuisine!“

“I used multiple food delivery services to get my mediterranean food here, tried the lento soup, chicken shish, lamb shish, hummus, veggie sticks, etc. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because the chicken shish and vegetables had charred parts and the chef didn’t bother to remove them. (but it is wise to remove heavily blackened parts before eating).

If you don’t want to eat too salty foods, you need to specify less salt or no salt in the takeout order. If you don’t want the overcooked lamb, you also need to specify medium rare.

Overall, a very high end restaurant that has good quality food and friendly staff. Especially with the outdoor setting in the fall evening.

Would recommend.“

“I love this place amazing food ;) and friendly staff ❤️❤️❤️. Cute outdoor seating great place to come“

“Love it i enjoyed the food“

“This restaurant serve tender meats made it in the grill, perfectly seasoned, they called kebah, I ordered the mixed grill for one person, they also have for 2 persons, i recommend the turkish coffee, the pocion is small in a small cup, but that's the way it should be, is bold and perfect, for my wife I ordered the chicken kebah, she enjoyed, she is saying she will come back to eat again, i also ordered a mixed grill to go fir my son and my daughter, the tables are elegant and clean.“

“My first time going was last Friday right as they opened and I must say for my first time eating a Turkish dish, I was blown away. The service was on point and efficient as well as the plating of the food. I was in love with the portions too and even the bread was just so savory. I can say I have not one complaint about this place and highly recommend it to everyone.🥰“

“When I am in town I frequent this establishment as often as possible. They provide the best mediterranean food on the East Coast. The service is impeccable. The food is out of this world. Thank you so much for being around.“

“Un buen restaurante, deliciosa comida Turca, buena decoración, excelente atención, variedad en el menú . Muchas gracias“

“I'm totally infatuated with this place. Staff treats you right and the food is so good. The dishes stand out. Workers ensured I got attention and answered everything I asked with enthusiasm and respect. My time at this place was special.“

“It was great. Great go-to place for turkish food. Everything they have is delightful. And they have an awesome liqour called rakeh I may be spelling it wrong, but thats okay! Add ice to it, and it changes colors! Finally asked what filling they use on the cheese rolls!!! I LOVE THE CHEESE ROLLS WITH HONEY. LOVE LOVE LOVE. They would absolutely be my go-to place if parking was easier. The girl that worked with me.... I forgot her name...
Runs around like a cheeta, always moving but always attentive. She is so sweet and lovely!!!! My favorite desserts of today was the kanefeh and baklava. Always loved them both. They are home-made desserts. Absolutely Divine. Will be coming by again soon. If I am lucky with parking.“

“Great place to eat Turkish food. Service is excellent & atmosphere is very nice: casual & friendly. Lots of tapas to choose from. Lamb dish is tender & baklava is superb. There’s live entertainment on the weekends. Sometimes one of the guests will be playing a clarinet or a guitar while eating. Lol. Lots of local Turkish people eat in this place. They started as a tiny restaurant & they have expanded to the one next door.“

“It was my first time eating at this Restaurant today. OMG the food was amazing….not to mention the service was outstanding…. WOW. Will recommend 100%“

“Went for lunch. Parking limited, but in front. Quality ingredients prepared with attention to detail. Real waitstaff. Clean, Clean, Clean No rushing you out. Great containers for take home leftovers. Definitely recommend. Chef Ray“

“For an authentic taste of Turkiye, you must visit Kral Pide. They've mastered two of Turkiye's most famous dishes: pide and lahmacun.

The pide is a true masterpiece but the lahmacun is the real star. The bread is paper-thin and crispy, topped with a flavorful, finely spiced mixture of meat and vegetables. Served with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprinkle of parsley, it’s a light, delicious, and addictive roll-up.

Both dishes showcase the quality of the ingredients and the skill in the kitchen. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was welcoming. If you’re looking for the best pide and lahmacun in town, this is the place.“

“Basic but very good, especially for the price. A highlight was the woman at the register who was very concerned and accommodating. You can get a half chicken and two sides for $15.95... and that ain't bad. The establishment is a solid choice for a quick and reliable meal.“

“Delicious, flavorful, healthy food, wine (and tea!) Excellent atmosphere. Very friendly and efficient service. I have been a client of SipSak for many years, and have brought my family and friends. So happy to have this great Turkish restaurant in our neighborhood. I had Ali Nazik today, which is ground beef, tomatoes, peppers over a smoked eggplant puree and yogurt. A glass of Malbec. And the delicious Turkish tea (which is served in a really cute cup!) The bread and olives are also very yummy! I would certainly recommend!“

“Food is perfect also, I love the hot pita bread. Price is really good 😊“

“Very fast service, generous portions, and it all tasted great! Served my group of 5 people with fresh food within ten minutes, and my only regret is that we couldn't finish it all. Definitely a place to check out if you're in the area.“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Try the mixed grilled sampler, and the desserts are espectacular!!!“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

“Nice Mediterranean spot, might want a reservation as it is a bit small. Excellent dessert selections and pastries. We enjoyed the calamari, hummus, and the mixed grill and decided the lamb chops were the best part. All of it was delicious but I would order just lamb chops next time, the mixed grill is a nice way to try several meats. The hummus and pita were very good as was the calamari and the sauce it was served with was very nice as well.“

“I love Mediterranean food. When I went to Cinar, I was so impressed with the food and service. Absolutely authentic flavors, and the hummus and chicken kebab were bursting with flavors and lip-smacklingly delicious!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!“

“Toros Turkish Cuisine, formerly known as The Kebab House, is one of Upper Montclair’s true dining gems. The food is consistently delicious, with standout dishes like the tender lamb shish kebab and perfectly prepared grilled shrimp. The mezza (appetizers) are outstanding—rich baba ghanoush, creamy labneh, and an array of flavorful hummus varieties, all paired with warm, freshly baked Turkish bread that is simply irresistible.

The service is just as memorable: warm, friendly, and knowledgeable, especially helpful to anyone new to Turkish cuisine. The setting adds to the charm—inside, the dining grotto creates an inviting ambiance, while the back arbor surrounded by plants offers a beautiful, almost secret-garden feel.

Desserts are not to be missed, from the comforting Turkish rice pudding to flaky baklava and more. Toros is one of my favorite go-to places in Montclair—a restaurant that blends incredible flavors with a welcoming atmosphere.“

“We come to NJ 5-6 times a year and always make it a priority to eat here. It is the best tasting, most authentic Turkish food you will find! Highly recommend it!“

“**Review for Toros Restaurant**

I had a great experience at Toros! The meat was exceptionally tender and fresh, making each bite enjoyable. The bread was also tasty, with a perfect balance of crispiness and softness. Overall, a fantastic dining spot that I highly recommend!“

“We loved this place! Came once for brunch and once for dinner and both times food was great, fresh, great taste, large portions, nicely presented. We highly recommend this restaurant. The service is excellent as well, the waiters are always ready to go out of their way to make you happy.“

“As a first time visitor to New York, I was delighted to find such fresh middle eastern cuisine, delivered to my hotel (fast) by e bike! Highly recommend!“
