To end the meal, the baklava with tea was absolutely perfect flaky, sweet, and a great complement to the tea. The service was excellent, with a warm and welcoming staff that made the experience even better.

“The restaurant prepares traditional kebab varieties using high quality meat and cooks them with care. Kebabs perfectly reflect both the flavor of the meat and the harmony of spices. The freshness of the meat and the cooking method ensure that the kebabs are tender and delicious.
Lahmacun is also one of Sophra Mediterranean Grill's favorite flavors. With its thin dough and delicious filling, lahmacun is prepared by adhering to traditional recipes. The stuffing is enriched with spices and fresh ingredients, which enhances the taste of lahmacun.

Overall, Sophra Mediterranean Grill offers traditional dishes such as kebab and lahmacun with a modern twist, while also offering a warm and friendly atmosphere, providing its guests with a delicious dining experience.“

“We went to Samdan Mediterranean Restaurant on our last day in New York. We went with 2 kiddos under 10 and ordered the chicken nuggets for them. For the adults, we ordered falafel, tabouli and hummus for an appetizer, and both were very good, had lots of flavor though the portions were smaller than we expected and we needed to ask for the Nan bread.

We followed up with the sultan platter for the table, and it came with rice, we also ordered a bruschetta salad. The portion for the platter was more than enough for 4 adults, and it had an assortment of meats, including lamb, chicken. We accompanied the meal with a bottle of red wine and found the pricing and portion sizes to be good for our group.

Overall, great atmosphere and place to have a nice dinner out for a group of adults.“

“very outstanding service also great food 🍱“

“Food and drinks were delicious and our wait staff was friendly and attentive! Two thumbs up!“

“When it comes to plant-based dining, finding a truly memorable meal can be like searching for a rare gem. But let me tell you, Kotti Berliner Doner Kebab has managed to deliver an experience that I won’t soon forget.

Let’s start with the vegan wrap—though, to be honest, it felt more like a perfectly constructed sandwich. This birthday gift from a thoughtful friend had me stepping out of my usual no-tofu zone. And wow, what an exception it turned out to be. The tofu wasn’t just there for the ride; it was marinated to perfection, blending seamlessly with the veggie mix.

Now, let’s talk bread. A crisp sesame riddled exterior gave way to a soft, pillowy bite, striking that elusive balance between texture and flavor. Each topping brought its A-game, adding layers of crunch, tang, and brightness that danced in harmony with every bite.

And then there was the special vegan sauce—the kind of condiment that elevates a meal from good to unforgettable. It was creamy, tangy, and herbaceous, tying everything together like a symphony of flavor.

The experience was made even better by the cook. Their patience, friendliness, and genuine care shone through in every element of the meal. It wasn’t just food; it was a crafted experience that left me eager to return.

Kotti Berliner Doner Kebab isn’t just serving vegan food—they’re setting the standard for how satisfying, flavorful, and downright exciting plant-based dining can be. If you’re even remotely curious about vegan fare, or just crave a culinary adventure, this is the place to go. Trust me, one bite and you’ll be planning your next visit.

“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!“

“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.🥰“

“This place offers truly authentic Turkish food that is absolutely delicious. The owners and waiters are Turkish, adding to the authenticity of the experience. Some may not speak English fluently, so just be patient—the food is well worth it!

If you visit on the weekends, you'll be treated to a surprise performance that makes the experience even more special. To make ordering easier, I recommend looking at photos on Google. The atmosphere is vibrant, the flavors are amazing, and the entertainment adds a unique touch. Trust me—just come and enjoy an unforgettable meal!“

“Have been here many times and always enjoyed the whole experience. However today the lamb in the shish kabob was very tough. I told the waitress when I finally finished my entree and she apologized and said I should have told her right away and she would have exchanged my meal. I appreciated her response. That's a lesson for me. My friend enjoyed her meal.“

“As in other reviews the rotisary chicken was very good. I added carrot soup, which I never had. It was really good. My husband had a corned beef sandwich. The main problem i had was it looked like the food was sitting a while. Also, the bathroom odor was horrific. It ruined my appetite.“

“So this hidden gem is AMAZING! I went with my family and I will never forget the hospitality. I had salmon and omg it was crispy on the outside and soft inside. It was the freshest salmon I tasted and was on a bed of rice so healthy and still tasty! I tasted a Turkish soda and it was fruity and the best combination of sweet and tangy The salmon SKIN was amazingly crispy! Yes the skin. This Turkish/Mediterranean place is a place I will forever go to and overlooked. The atmosphere of the place felt like me at home so laidback!“

“This quaint tiny restaurant has authentic burek. The server was honest about the time it would take to deliver the food we wanted to order and therefore we were able to change our order to accommodate our schedule. We experienced a very clean environment nice atmosphere (although florescent light are a vibe kill) and delicious food. Not fancy but wholesome. Thanks for a healthy portion!“

“Best Turkish Food this side of the Black Sea ?! Sarah really welcomes all with professionalism. Staff has a Great outlook too.“

“recently had the pleasure of dining at Istanbul Bey and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. I tried both the lamb döner kebab wrap and the platter, and I was blown away by the quality and taste. The lamb was perfectly seasoned and tender, and the portions were generous. The prices are very affordable, especially considering the quality of the food.

What really stood out to me was how clean the restaurant is—it’s spotless, which is impressive by New York standards. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive. If you’re looking for delicious food at a great price in a clean and comfortable setting, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Ate here last night with my husband - everything was great! Very friendly staff, great selection, quick service, and clean all around. We ordered gyros, salad, feta, and French fries and everything was so good. The meat was so so tender and juicy, matching The Eater articles description that actually sent us here. The Turkish pita was super fresh and light, and the prices were great. Big portions, could have ordered less for sure! Definitely will be back!“

“Sandwich and pizza takeout style restaurant. They have few seating inside and outside. I had the “Famous No Fork sandwich. It comes with french fries and sauce and I added mushrooms. Together it filled me up. $16

I would go here and try the other items on the menu in the near future. I tried the Tuna fish sandwich - it's small in portion size and ok in taste- not the best. Tuna sandwich is also served with crispy French fries together with fries will fill up a small adult

Tried the personal pan pizza “Fork et about it”. Delicious thin slices. $14“

“I've lost track of how many times I've dined here, but I've loved every visit. Bringing friends and family for their first visit has become a trend, and Iris delivers every time on all fronts. The team is warm and welcoming - never fussy or overbearing; the cocktails are innovative and delicious - suiting any palate; and the food is a comforting delight. We never leave hungry, but we always want more. Until next time...“

“I’ve been here about ten times. The two owners (Sezane and Apo; I could be misspelling their names) are each entertaining and friendly. It’s a great place to come work for an hour or two: tranquil, comfortable seating indoors (if a bit narrow) and outdoor tables on a sidestreet just off 30th Ave. Also, they have freshly baked Turkish treats and savory food. They’re very welcoming here. Highly recommend!“

“Great food and service and reasonably priced.“
