“The best Albanian food in NY😋👌“

“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.“

“Delicious! Friendly service.“

“Overall a great time. I started at the bar and the bartender Kate was beyond rude. Too bad she made good drinks. Once my guests arrived, I moved to a table. Our server Gabriela was a gentle gem and directed us toward the best items on the menu. I will NOT return to a bar seat due to the stiff bartender. Table service is attentive and takes care of you.“

“Fantastic food with large portions and reasonable prices. The bread is out of this world! It is delicious with the babaganoush, hummus or soup. The falafel was crunchy and flavorful. The kabob was juicy. I wish I'd received the tea that I ordered because it smelled spicy.“

“Delicious food and amazing service. Can’t beat the lunch special. Excellent!“

“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!!“

“Five stars! Cinar Turkish Restaurant exceeded my expectations. The food was authentic, fresh, and packed with flavor. The hospitality was exceptional, making us feel like family from the moment we walked in. Everything from the appetizers to dessert was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning soon.“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Dodona Cafe! The food was absolutely delicious, the portions were generous, and everything arrived incredibly fast. Best of all, the food was served burning hot, which is surprisingly rare to find these days and made the meal even more enjoyable.

A special thank you to Lab and Ledio for their exceptional service. They were friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome throughout our visit. Their kindness and professionalism really stood out and made the experience even better.

We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Dodona Cafe to anyone looking for delicious food, generous portions, fast service, and outstanding hospitality!“

“Bella’s kitchen is absolutely delicious. The food is fresh, creative and so good. The portions are a nice size and the staff is warm and friendly. I took two of my friends there this weekend, and they absolutely felt the same way. I highly recommend Bella’s.kitchen.“

“food was simply delicious and well served👍❤️❤️❤️ the stuff was amazingly friendly and professional❤️❤️❤️will definitely go back there❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐“

“Excellent food & service at Rola’s. This was my 1st time there & everything was so good!“

“Where do I even begin? The pita? Perfect texture and taste. The cherry tomatoes? Obviously fresh, juicy, and sourced from a great farm. The romain? Plentiful and CRISP. The Dill and Taziki sauce? Also VERY fresh, has a citrus kick somewhere, and seems to be made fresh as well. Because it doesn't taste like a store bought sauce filled with preservatives. The hummus? That might actually be where the citrus is from. However, the hummus is not overly salty! You can actually taste the Chickpeas and they use good ingredients as well as olive oil for the hummus too! The chicken? Is in NO way shape or form dry and it's actually seasoned! It's juicy and normal is it overcooked. The olives? Brothers and sisters I HATE olives by themselves, rarely on certain foods. But these olives are not overpowering and stealing the flavor profile, it just adds more depth to the flavor bomb of the Greek chicken Pita! The feta? What could be bettah? Seriously though if you can see this picture you should've seen that they don't skip on the feta either. Again the flavor is ALL the way there but not overpowering. While the texture is almost creamy. Probably with assistance from the sauce but still, it's not overly dry! 10/10 Would recommend & I will be back! Now the facility was spotless, the cleanest "fast food" I've ever seen. The staff? Phenomenonal, personable, kind, attentive to details, and downright superstars that make that place run like clockwork! Wooooo wo weeeee wo!!! If you haven't been here then you've got to go!! Moderate prices, exceptional ingredients, lovely staff, and clean facilities(where the staff actually care like the NW Expressway location in OKC). I'm out, ty for listening to my Ted talk! 🫡“

“The food is delicious. Very courteous and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!“

“I'd give this spot a 4.5 for food and overall. It's a simple Turkish menu done very well. The place is nothing flashy just well executed food and service. We've eaten here multiple times and have not been disappointed. 100% recommended you check it out, I've heard they also have a great lunch special menu, I'll be trying that soon.“

“very fast customer service“

“Delicious food! The chopped salad was very fresh and tasty, and the chicken kebab was super juicy and full of flavor. I must come back for more!“

“We either ordered the wrong things or it was an off night for this restaurant because our experience was nothing like what other reviewers say. Restaurant was so noisy that we had to shout to our table companions all evening. The imam bayaldi was oversalted and underflavored and pine nuts doled out as if they were diamonds. The shrimp was hard, dry, overcooked, oversalted and flavorless sitting on a bed of gloppy watery tomatoes. Half the lamb kabobs were ok and half were nothing but gristle. Servers were very pleasant, and helpful with wine selection but the wait for our dishes seemed interminable. What was good -- very good --the rice with the lamb kabobs, the rice pudding and the coffee. But too much money for bad (sorry, but that's what it was) food. As I said, maybe we ordered the wrong dishes or maybe it was just an off night.“

“Best place to eat a salad Nieve was the best.“

“Simon the waiter was excellent, after speaking with owner about our concerns..Everything was corrected . I look forward in returning next week“

“Really good food and service. Falafel and garlic is sauce is out of this world.“

“The food is absolutely delicious! We ordered the mixed grill platter, and it was more than enough for two people. Everything was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been here several times and keep coming back because the food and service are consistently excellent. Highly recommend!“

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

“So good and fresh, very tasty, clean place The rice is buenisimo“

“Went in late and felt so bad about coming so close to their closing time and Cris and Sandra were so kind to cook up Falafel and hook me up with my late dinner. I was having such a bad day and they were so kind and made my night!!! Shout out to them, they deserve a raise. Truly exceptional service and food 10/10 recommend.“

“The shawarma here is leagues better than anything I’ve ever had in the NY area. The service is outstanding; the owner invited us in while we were waiting for our friends to arrive, and gave us free samples of their delicious falafel. As for cleanliness, the place was virtually spotless. In a region where the closest thing we have to shawarma is usually “gyro meat” (slices off of a cone of pre-ground mystery meat with all kinds of fillers), having an authentic shawarma place nearby is wonderful.“

“The place is very neat and clean. The food was delicious and very flavorful. They offer a large selection of healthy dishes that is absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!“

“Great food and good service!“

“I'm so glad I finally decided to come and try this restaurant.
The staff and the owner were the absolute sweetest and kindest, I felt right at home as if they were my uncles and brothers. The owner made me get free rice pudding on the house and I got to try their lentil soup as well, which was very cozy.

The owner let me try the hummus and as someone who is picky about hummus, their's had such a nice zing to it. It was thick and smooth, coated my mouth and gone in seconds.

As for the shawarma, it was amazing. I got the chicken to eat there but got a mixed platter to go. Every single item in the mixed grill was phenomenal. The beef kofta was great too. I loved the char on my chicken shawarma more though. You can't go wrong with any choices here.

The rice needs to have its own paragraph however. The owner asked which rice I would like to try as they have two kinds: Yellow rice or lentil rice. I asked for both and was blown away by both. I could not choose which one was better because both were that amazing.
The salad was great too. Perfect pickles and fresh lettuce.

I will say my only feedback is the food did start tasting a bit too salty as you keep eating. So make sure to have water or a drink to help cut through the build up of saltiness. Or maybe I came on a day where all the food tasted a bit more on the salty side, not sure.

All in all, I'm glad I finally chose to go here. This is a spot that you can never go wrong eating in. It's fantastic and dare I say, the best shawarma and Egyptian food I ever had!“

“Had a great dinner with friends. Great place to talk, drink and dine. Had a chance to meet and talk with the owner which was cool. If you drink wine, know that their wine list is very reasonably priced. We enjoyed the mushrooms, stuffed pompano pepper, roasted chicken with vegetables, the shaved fennel salad and the fries.“

“This is a wonderful, delicious restaurant with generous portions. The appetizers are great and the mains are excellent. I love their gyro meat, Shepard salad and assorted appetizer plate. If you enjoy Turkish food you can’t go wrong with this restaurant.“

“Such a great space and the servers are so dialed in.
My wife and I went back for the 3rd or 4th time last night and we had such a lovely time. The drinks came out so quickly and the hostess was very sweet and gave us a very personal compliment.
I did the pasta w filet and my wife had the ny strip. We did crab cocktails and blue point oysters. Martinis, old fashioned’s, gelato and sorbet finished off with espresso martinis. No complaints. The staff handled the busy Saturday evening w no issues. Will return again and its great for groups.“

“Jap konsideraten dhe rekomandimin me te larte per Nana’s Kitchen ne adresen 1809 Hone ave, Bronx NY per varietete e shumllojshme te ushqimeve tradicionale Shqiptare, per te cilat une se bashku me nje grup shokesh prej 15 vetash shijuam fundjaven e shkuar. Gjeta pas 23 vjetesh ku pergatisin ushqimin ne taven e balte, e po ashtu provuam mish qengji te pjekur, pace, qofte te zgares, sallate fshati e buken qe ne shqiptaret e duam shume qe e pergatisnin vete si dhe u embelsuam me bakllavane plot shije. Sherbimi ishte shembullor dhe lokali ishte i dekoruar me shije duke ruajtur traditen Shqiptare. Falenderojme pronarin Landi Kodra per kenaqesine qe na dha per disa ore ne restorantin e tij. Se shpejti TV Alba Life do te sjelle edhe nje kronike me te plote rreth ketij restorani dhe pershtypjet edhe te klienteve te tjere.“
