“This little spot is big on delicious food, wonderful service and amazing hospitality! The food is always consistent, always fresh and always satisfying!“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant!!! Their food tasted SO good and tasted like it was homemade food. It was made with so much love, and the food was so flavorful and seasoned. Every thing I got, hit. I got the curry chicken platter, and I cleaned my plate. The mint lemonade tasted so fresh and refreshing. The baklava was really good, as well. The customer service was excellent and so homey, as well!“

“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“

“I love Turkish food and I have traveled to Turkey many times, so I have a comparison basis. This is another Americanized Turkish food restaurant. I ordered the grilled meatballs (in reality they are called kofte, but they don't say that on the menu). They tasted like burger patties, missing the kofte spices. Service was great, but I wished for real Turkish food, not American version. They played it safe and as a result it's a little inauthentic and blah. It's good food but it doesn't stand out.“

“Everything was just perfect! A restaurant in an excellent location, personal and kind treatment and food at a very high standard, simply everything we ordered was delicious! All the staff members are nice and helpful and the place is stunning in its beauty beyond its fascinating story! Every time I'll come to New York I will definitely go to the Kashkabal Garden 🥇“

“Excellent quality food..easily the best greek/Mediterranean restaurant around. We had babaganoush, sauteed octopus and mixed grill for two. The portions are just right and there was not a single dish that wasnt 10/10. Great service. The place was quiet around 6pm on a Friday and then just exploded with customers. We are happy we just discovered this little gem. And the cherry on top - very inexpensive for what you get. It's tough to beat combo“

“The food is good and service is excellent. We had the price fixe“

“Was looking for Mediterranean food for my wife and I on a casual evening out and we were not disappointed. Super friendly/helpful staff, wonderful atmosphere, and a wonderful selection of food. My wife and I got a bowl and we both loved it. If you are looking for a counter style Mediterranean place to eat this is a fantastic choice! All the food is made fresh. My wife ordered pita chips and falafel on the side and both were made fresh when we ordered. The pita chips were thick and super crispy. The falafel was incredibly moist too. Highly recommend!“

“It is a very tasty and very clean restaurant, I definitely recommend it.Ali Bey opened a nice restaurant, thank you“

“Went here for brunch for NYC Restaurant week and did not disappoint!! Great service, delicious food and yummy drinks!! Will definitely come back!! Such a cozy cute atmosphere too!!“

“Great Lunch… Izzy our waiter went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying our lunch. We go here frequently and always a good meal and very accommodating.“

“Ada is a great restaurant and an enjoyable place to spend an evening/ celebration with family and friends! The staff and host are always so welcoming and pleasant. The delicious food and desserts speaks for themselves always made fresh and presented with such style. We recently celebrated a birthday and had such an amazing evening thanks to Selchuk and the staff.“

“We drove out of town for this restaurant and it was well worth it. The mint lemonade drink has the perfect balance of sweet and sour and the food was delicious. The food is especially perfect for larger crowds that want to share food. The staff are very friendly and fast in getting your order and bringing out the food to you. I also really admired the beautiful decor inside. If we lived closer we definitely would come to this restaurant all the time but since it is a very long drive we still plan on coming at least once a month.“

You want leave disappointed, every dish is both interesting and flavorful drawing from Mediterranean, Israeli and Lebanese/eastern like dishes.“

“Perfect as always. Shout out to Caesar who is attentive, friendly and a class act guy. The food was stupendous. The meat platter for 4 was delectable. And all the starters are great. We love the shepherds salad with feta, the hummus and the babaganoush. The falafel too! Thank you for all the hard work.“

“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 ordered tray of Konafa with Keshta and was delicious. I recommend this انا طلبت صينية كنافه بالقشطه وكانت طعمه جدا.“

“Excellent food and service. This is a special dining experience, a place we chose to follow a broadway matinee performance. The chef plays artfully with traditional Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors and dishes. It’s expensive but worth it for an occasional nyc nights out experience.“

“My first time at Seasalt! Lovely atmosphere, friendly, competent staff, and delicious food. Reasonable prices. The tuna tartare appetizer was delicious (we got pita to go with it). I had the vegetable moussaka which was terrific. It was a little noisy, because the restaurant was completely full, but we could easily hear one another. I would happily go back!“

“An awesome experience. Great food and very attentive service. Will be back ❤️“

“Had a lovely meal to celebrate my 50th birthday, the food was so good and the service was fantastic, I would highly recommend“

“I love it !! Mucver my favorite 😍 appetizer!!“

“Recommended by a friend. It’s a spacious restaurant with beautiful ambience. The food however is quite expensive and the portions average. Entrées of chicken and lamb each w/ lemonades and a kids chicken finger with soufflé can end up close to 160$. Could be lower imo.“

“The all entire menu is great.“

“Love the food“

“Perfect for a quick bite, it’s got that “casual, no-fuss” charm but with super high quality food that is absolutely delicious. Don’t expect a fancy setup or date-night vibes here; it’s more of a place to drop in, enjoy, and go. It’s great for a casual quick lunch or a grab-and-go meal that doesn’t feel like fast food. Reliable, tasty, and efficient—just the kind of spot you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again.“
