Turkish Restaurants near Jersey City, NJ

“Wonderful place with tasty food and best service. Will try again.“

“As someone who was born and raised in Turkey, I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking to experience truly authentic Turkish cuisine.

Staff is very friendly (Gamze helped me at the bar and she was super professional), vibe is great and food is extraordinary. Take my word and try it. You won't regret.“

“Turkish coffee and baklava in this restaurant was unforgettable. The presentation was great. Friendly servers as well.“

“Very good falafel. Quite pricey. Nice and fast service.“

“Super Delicious authentic turkish food! Big and tasty portions! Excellent attention, friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely go back!“

“If you see hateful reviews written here within the last 24 hrs, it is pure POLITICAL. These people most likely haven't even stepped inside this restuarant. I am pretty sure if a Republican candidate asked to be hosted there, they would honor the same. Regardless, everyone is free to support whomever they want including the owners of this restuarant. Now let's get to the real facts! Excellent cuisine full of vegeterian options. The best Turkish I had thus far. I brought my coworkers here and they loved it. I would highly reccommend this place.“

“Stumbled upon this Mediterranean gem while driving to a nearby Staples and decided to come back the same evening to try it out—and wow, it did *not* disappoint. They offer a $45 shared menu that’s absolutely worth it. Every single dish was beautifully presented, with rich flavors and generous portions. The food came out fast, but nothing felt rushed—the service was excellent and attentive from start to finish. The ambience is warm and stylish, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out. This place is a high-end hidden gem in Brooklyn. Definitely coming back!“

“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.🙏“

“The food was spectacular! The staff were superb!! Sultan platter for 2 fed a family of 4.“

“Some of the best pide I’ve had in my life. The smoothies here are natural and don’t seem to have added sugar, a fantastic and healthy dessert after pide!

Seriously if you try the Pide here, you’ll finally find a dish that tastes better than pizza. The service here is friendly and hospitable. 10/10 will definitely return here again.“

“4.5/5

Bunny is such a CUTE spot in the neighbourhood. Lovely small restaurant with a great ambiance.

The service is also amazing, both servers were so lovely and attentive, A+ !

I went with a friend and we shared everything… started with the marinated feta and the green beans!

The marinated feta was good, came with a very nice almost montreal bagel style bread and really tasty zucchini… only gripe I had with this was that the feta wasn’t very… marinated. No herbs, only olive oil.

The green beans were excellent, very nicely done and all flavors were fresh.

We had both split the schnitzel and the lamb kofte as mains. The schnitzel was cooked perfectly although I will say that it was under salted and lacking any herbs…

The lamb kofte stole the show, perfectly spiced and the farro was also cooked perfectly!

The baklava for dessert was also INCREDIBLE! I’m greek and so have memories of my yiayia’s and this was the closest i’ve had in a while 🥲

Will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu !“

“Hands down one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Tried the ezme appetizer (medium heat but cool refreshing herby delight) with a glass of Turkish rosé, and ordered the lamb shish kebab for my main course. When the server asked what temperature I preferred for the lamb, I said whatever the chef recommends…it was phenomenal. Tender, wildly flavorful, and worked so well with the salad, buttery rice and pine nuts, and another glass of the rosé! My husband had the chicken adana kebab which was also delicious but not as good as my lamb. We couldn’t help ourselves from ordering dessert, since I’m physically incapable of saying no to baklava. He tried the almond pudding which was quite tasty with a great consistency but my three small baklava pieces were warm and sweet perfection. My only regret is not trying some coffee. Service was great, our water glasses were constantly being refilled, and it was pleasantly cool inside on a 95 degree day in the city. I wish we lived closer because I would eat here regularly. Thanks for a top tier dining experience!“

“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.“

“The food is wonderful. Friendly staff and great food. Fun atmosphere for birthdays or parties. Thank you for making my mom’s 85th birthday dinner great !“

“Love those place. It was my first time here. We came a group of 5. The place is super clean. It’s a family restaurant. Everyone is super friendly. The food was amazing. Ordered humus with chips as an appetizer. We ordered a variety of things: Grilled mixed (chicken, lamb, beef with fries and rice), whole fish, salad 🥗 , eggplant. For dessert, it was a goatcheese with jce cream. Trust me and taste it. You can bring your own wine. Their Iced tea is good. Definitely coming back.“

“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.

The burgers looked great too, I’ll get a burger the next time. We also had their homemade Rice pudding, it was the best I EVER had.

“It’s best shawarma in Brooklyn indoor dining is good food variety is also good but meat 🍖 quantity is very less, even they are taking smart prices but meat 🥩 quantity is very very bit but very very tasty 😋“

“My favourite place Come here every week Thank you for the great food and service!“

“Me gusta su comida y el personal es muy amable“

“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.🥰“

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

“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%“

“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.“

“Good service. Quiet space for dining with your family and/or friends. The food is delicious‼️“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“This cozy diner has become our weekend favorite for reliable, no-fuss breakfasts. Their pancakes are consistently fluffy, the bacon is always crispy, and the coffee is fresh and bottomless - exactly what I want from a morning meal.

Service is friendly and efficient, even when they're busy. I particularly appreciate that they're happy to customize orders (my kid always swaps hash browns for fruit). Prices are fair for the generous portions.

It's not fancy, but that's the charm, just solid breakfast classics done well in a comfortable atmosphere. Gets crowded around 9am on weekends, but we've never waited more than 15 minutes.“

“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“

“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!“

“I love the food and the tea and the music fantastic day, amazing. :)“

“Best gyros that you can find on Staten Island!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

“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!“

“This is an awesome restaurant. The food is excellent, the meat is top quality and the service r is warm and cozy.“

“Yesterday I order fish Bronzino with green salad it’s was so good !!!!“

“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!“

“The more convenient place for me than the Clifton London, although I like the atmosphere of the Clifton restaurant a little better. The food though is always good and service is pretty attentive either or not they are busy. The Montclair spot has a very nice outdoors seating section in the back.
Parking can be iffy as it's on-street and there are other restaurants in the area and close spaces seem to get taken quickly. However, if you don't mind a small walk there are plenty of lots and side streets in the area, just mind the meter requirements.“

“Amazing experience at this Turkish restaurant! The staff were warm and welcoming,and very active. and the food was full of rich, authentic flavors. Our order was a bit delayed, but they kindly served us FREE plate of Baba Ganoush and Hummus and fresh bread while we waited and even gave us complimentary TEA afterward. One of the best parts? They offer all sauces in big bottles and trust me, that’s rare these days! 😁 Definitely worth visiting again.“

“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“
