We have been there several times and never had a poor experience. Last night we were seated in a room with 2 extremely large groups who were so loud, I had a terrible headache. It certainly ruined our dinner. Unfortunately, I probably will never return to this restaurant.

Some food was great like the dips and pita. Falafel was dried out and lacked flavor. Turkish flatbread was all cheese.

Excellent food, Good size portions (especially) for the entrees. Courteous, attentive, and helpful staff.

Wow! Coming from the inner city, this place is now my top choice for Turkish Food!
Let’s start off with the environment. They have a literal horse carriage parked outside. The floral decorations, telephone booth, and overall layout inside creates a very premium ambiance that heightens the experience for restaurant enthusiasts.
Food was delivered promptly and cooked fresh. Not a single complaint for the dishes my family and I ordered ( refer to the photos). We also had a lovely server Memet that made the experience even more satisfying.
This place has an excellent glass door for parties 16 or less to feel more cozy and sit in cozy red carpeted seats. I plan to return for a future celebration with a large group of people!
Great customer service, delicious food, amazing atmosphere..

everything about this place is pretty much amazing. All of the staff are extremely kind and attentive to your needs. Something for everyone to have for their meals from the simplest for the kids to the those with expanded palettes. Most importantly, BYOB!! special shout out to the cheese sigara (cigars) dish.
I ordered soup to go and they gave me very little or someone eat my soup. Extremely expensive for small amount. This is disappointing. They're cheap.

Absolutely amazing! The Adana kebab was fantastic, the chicken shish was incredibly tender, and even the fries were delicious. The bread they served was heavenly. I truly felt like I was at a wonderful kebab place back home in Istanbul.
Kudos to the chef—everything was perfect! It’s a bit far for us since we live in New York, but hopefully we’ll get the chance to come back again. For those who know, it reminded me of the famous Develi Restaurant in Istanbul—the taste was just the same!

The fanciest Turkish restaurant around. The food on my second visit was not as good as on my first visit, but the service and atmosphere are still top-notch. By now we ate at Istanbul Bay Premium multiple times, and it is our go to Turkish restaurant. The food is usually good, especially the chef's special liver and the kunefe.

My mom and I had dinner here just on a random Tuesday, the place was hopping and the food and service were stellar! I’m not sure if it’s all family owned but all of the service staff from waiter/maitre d/busser/hostess were phenomenal, attentive, and incredibly focused and present with our table and looks like throughout the restaurant. Food was so tasty and presentation beautiful. Very large portions, we took half of everything home! She has the branzino, I had the lamb saute, and we also had babaghanoosh for an appetizer and rice pudding dessert. Photo of the lamb missing a bit because I started eating it first 😅
Great and Best place and our go-to in the New Jersey ,Food is always fresh and flavorful, and good portions. Service is very fast and attentive. Atmosphere is relaxed. Worker are so helpful and knowledgeable and friendly, This time: lamb shish and adana kebab was soft and succulent, perfectly grilled. Meat balls were super tasty and again cooked to perfection. Eggplant appetizer — tasty, caramelized, just great. Fresh warm bread, and strong Turkish tea.
Oh, and baklava was really good — with lots pistachio, fresh and very buttery.
Always a great meal here! Thank you always have a great food and service
