Turkish Restaurants near Jersey City, NJ

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

“Rana Fifteen absolutely blew us away.

A few of us did the Rana Table brunch and we were not prepared. It’s a full family style feast and it just keeps coming. Borek, marinated beyaz cheese, kizartma, artichoke spread, Izmir pine honey with kaymak, soujuk, menemen… dish after dish of incredibly fresh, flavorful Aegean food. All for $35 a person. Unreal value.

This is a unforgettable Brooklyn gem. Get the Rana Table, come hungry, you will not regret it.“

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

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

“The food was soooo good!

Started with turkish bread (complementary) which was yum!

The Manti was the highlight for us. But the mezze platter and lamb kebab was no less - very tasty.

The dessert- instabul dreams was exceptional too but especially the warm atmosphere. Zainab and Elvan filled the place with warmth and fun conversation.

Would definitely come again just for the Manti“

“Good authentic food , nice environment“

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

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

“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.🙏“

“very outstanding service also great food 🍱“

“Easily my favorite place in Nutley now, I'll be back for more Turkish tea, a whole pot if can be—and to try their Kazandibi dessert. An amazing breakfast selection till noon & lunch menu after till 4PM. Looking forward to many more visits!“

“I catered from Istanbul Clinton Mediterranean in August for a small reception and everyone loved the food!

The service was wonderful from start to finish. I placed my order online and someone called to confirm and delivery was right on time. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“I celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and could not have asked for a better experience. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, the food was outstanding, and the service was attentive and friendly. It truly made my day special — highly recommend!“

“What a delight!
We eat plant-based so opted for the baba ganoush appetizer and eggplant moussaka. The flavors were alive, wonderful, and deeply enjoyed.
The waiter was attentive and so kind!

They have a sweet outdoor garden space in the back but we enjoyed inside, with all the decor.

What a delicious meal and evening!“

“I’m new to Turkish food being of Asian descent, but I thoroughly enjoyed my food. I started with the pizza, but over time tried the platter, pizza, and toast. They were all delicious. If you step out of your comfort zone and give this place a try, you would not be disappointed!“

“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 !“

“Top tier Turkish food.
I have traveled to Istanbul and the food here matches the best that Taksim square has to offer.
I judge Trukish places by the Hummus - theirs is spot on - a hint of garlic and just the right tang from the citrus. A swirl of quality EVO and its good to go with their fresh out of the over Bazlama.
The Icli Kofte are to die for. Ground lamb and cracked wheat. Just amazing. If you cant decide ona main because you love lamb, chicken and lamb, the mixed grill is a sure bet.
Im not a big sweets guy but i enjoyed the Kunefe with a properly made Turkish coffee.
All round a great experience. The staff is friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu.
Definitely worth the trip.“

“Hesitant to review this place because I don’t want it to be ruined, but I also want this place to be open forever. Perfect (neighborhood) restaurant in every way. Wouldn’t change a thing. Food, atmosphere, everything. Make this a part of your neighborhood rotation and you’ll never be sorry.“

“excellent food, service and environment crew is excellent“

“One of the best Mediterranean resturent in town. Especially the vegetables with rice plate along with chicken orders. The service is superb by all. The exerted all efforts to make us having wonderful dinner. Definitely will come back inshallah“

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

“Afiyet in Cliffside Park is, unfortunately, a complete disaster for anyone trying to pretend good food no longer exists. The authentic Turkish cooking here is so outrageously good that it makes ordinary restaurant meals feel like cafeteria mistakes. Every dish tastes like it was made by someone who actually cares about flavor, tradition, and the radical concept of seasoning food properly. The meats are perfectly cooked, the breads taste like they were sent down from a higher power, and everything has that unmistakable homemade, authentic quality that ruins lesser restaurants forever.

The staff and owner are also wildly inconvenient in the sense that they are too friendly. Instead of the usual cold, robotic service you expect these days, they are warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely happy to have you there. It is almost exhausting being treated that well. You walk in expecting dinner and leave feeling like you were adopted by a very talented Turkish family.

And to make matters worse, parking is easy. No heroic search. No parallel parking Olympics. No circling the block questioning your life choices. You just show up, park, and enjoy one of the best meals around like that is somehow allowed.

Afiyet is the kind of place that completely ruins your standards. Amazing food, authentic cooking, wonderful people, and easy parking. Really inconsiderate of them to set the bar this high for everyone else.“

“The mixed gyro wrap was amazing!!! I should know, I’m Turkish.

The fries were perfectly crispy and salted and the baklava… oh. my. gosh. Handmade and delicious. I highly recommend going here for a quick bite to eat and the staff is very friendly and kind!“

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

“Thanks to a friend of ours, we found a nice spot for Mediterranean cuisine! The Sahara bread was amazing… Falafel was the best I ever had and the hummus was DELISH! Main dish, I had chicken gyro dish, it was exactly what I wanted. The service was very welcoming… give it a try if you like this type of cuisine.“

“Excellent food, dessert, ambience and of course, service! Suleyman C was our server, kudos to the Opera Cafe Lounge, whatever management is doing, it’s working, we felt warm and welcomed and will definitely be back!!“

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

“ordered the sandwich and it was so delicious. It was a bit too crispy for me but such a filling meal, so I didn’t mind the price as much since I really liked it and the meat was seasoned well. I would definitely get it again once my teeth gets better so I can fully enjoy that sandwich.“

“The restaurant is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They prepare Turkish cuisine. Several tables are available for dining in but there are no servers. Soups, salads, hot and cold appetizers, meat pies, entrees, sandwiches, wraps, beverages and desserts are available. I ordered the chicken gyro and kofte kebab platters. Both platters provided customers with generous portions. The food tasted very good and was well-prepared. Friendly and helpful staff.“

“They are my go to every time I come to NYC. Absolutely Love the owners, staff and the food. I am so happy I recently purchased a beautiful lamp.“

“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.“

“We had the hearty egg sandwhich and it was one of the best eggs sandwiches we've had. The bagels were soft and tasted freshly made. The egg was the perfect consistency and added onto the sandwhich. The coffee was also well made and it just right in the morning.“

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

“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 like to come by and eat lunch here because the food is delicious, quickly served, and price is giving. Lunch Menu is now $17 for soup or salad, appetizer, main. I had the lentil soup (could use some more flavor its a bit bland), the hummus was very
good (wish they had real warm pita instead of bread ), my Chicken kabob was cooked perfectly (meat was tender and soft).“

“Excellent delicious my favorite place 👍😋“

“Ankara Turkish Restaurant struts in like it owns the block—and honestly, fair. The kebabs are juicy drama queens, the bread arrives warm and irresistible, and the baklava? Sweet enough to make you forgive your ex. Service is fast, flavors are loud, and my diet plans are officially on “seen.” Would I come back? Please, I’m already mentally reserving my table. 💅🍢“

“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!“

“We came here for our employees dinner out. And we go out to dinner once a year for past 14 years to many different restaurants. But Istanbul bay ridge became our favorite restaurant by all of us. Food was delicious and service was excellent. There was nothing that was not our liking.“
