“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.🙏“

“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 🍱“

“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.

“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.“

“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.🥰“

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

“We highly recommend this restaurant for lunch and dinner!“

“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!“

“excellent food, service and environment crew is excellent“

“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%“

“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.“

“A hidden gem I stumbled upon by chance—this place is the complete opposite of fast food. The restaurant is spotless, and the food is fresh, high-quality, and delicately seasoned, evoking the warmth of a home-cooked meal. Portions are generous for the price, and the service was genuinely excellent. If you're looking for a healthy, comforting alternative to fast food, I highly recommend it. Truly a delightful experience!“

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

“The food was incredible. The service, top notch. Depending on what you get, and how much you eat, you can share a meal. The portions are decent for the price. Would definitely go back if I'm here again. The ambiance was perfect and really pretty but not over done.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

“Hands down the best Turkish food in NYC. The owner-operator, Mike, is always on-site, adding a personal touch that makes the experience feel both welcoming and elevated. The food is clean, healthy, and notably free of seed oils — a rare and refreshing standard. The chicken chops are excellent, the chicken shish is top-tier, and the mezze selection is absolutely fantastic. Every dish reflects real care and quality.“

“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!“

“From the drinks to the food prepare to indulge in heavenly bliss. We’ve been coming here for three years and each time it only gets better. This time big thanks to Alexis for the lovely hospitality.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Food and service was fantastic. Restaurant is nice and warm. Food came very quickly.“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“Stopped in tonight, not very crowded which was great and the food was served super quickly. Loved every bite!

The highlight of the night was Lourdes the cashier/ attendant. She was so friendly and welcoming and attentive. She was able to recommend things on the menu and elaborate on the options.

While I was eating she kept checking in on me and my guest and walking around cleaning surfaces and tidying up the space. Amazing customer service from her. Would absolutely recommend this place and I hope anyone that stops in gets to meet Lourdes.“

“i was passing by the area and looking for a quick filling lunch, very pleasantly surprised by how yummy their chicken doner sandwich was. You MUSTT get their homemade bread, it’s so soft yet a little toasted on the outside. The cabbage and pickles were so refreshing, a nice balance to the savory chicken. It was also GIGANTIC. You will not leave hungry for sure. There is a modest seating area in there as well, in case you need to rest a little before continuing going wherever.“

“Great food and service and reasonably priced.“

“Highly recommended ,we have been several times here. Awesome servis, very friendly and all foods are delicious .“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Iris recently, and it was a standout experience from start to finish. The Mediterranean influences were clear in every dish, but with a fresh, elevated twist that made the entire meal feel both comforting and refined.

Dessert was a real highlight. The Pistachio Baklava Sundae was both playful and decadent—layers of crunchy pastry, spiced nuts, and creamy ice cream came together in a way that felt indulgent but not overly sweet. I also tried the Cherry Baba, which brought a nice tart contrast with its syrup-soaked cake and cherry-forward flavor.

Service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance struck a great balance between elegant and inviting.“

“First time here, but it definitely won’t be the last! Everything we tried was delicious. Loved the chocolate baklava and the rice pudding the most. Tahini & pistachio baklava were great too. Cutest interior and coffee cups. The owner was super kind as well! Highly recommend!“
