Turkish Restaurants near Union City, NJ

“Great concert , very entertaining and great food“

“The food here is absolutely phenomenal. There is so much variety on the menu, and every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. Each plate that came out was a 10/10, and honestly, I didn’t even know where to start because everything looked and smelled incredible. You can truly taste the authenticity in every bite, and it felt like a real culinary journey through Turkey. The service elevated the experience even more. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel like honored guests rather than just customers. The hospitality, energy, and attention to detail created an inviting and memorable experience from start to finish. This is more than just a meal—it’s an experience.“

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

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

“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“

“Great service and amazing food“

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

“We were in the area to see Cherry Blossom Festival in the local park. We originally planned to eat at our favorite restaurant Istanbul in Clifton NJ. We got hungry and looked for close by Turkish restaurants, found this place. Absolutely loved the ambiance, food and the service. We are hooked for life. Try the Calamari for appetizer, lamb shish kababs for main entry. Food was authentic and cooked to perfection. We will be back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great Pide and hospitality - Aug 22, 2024“

“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.“

“I don't eat out often but when I do lezzet is my husband and I go to spot for some delicious turkish food. Its very clean, affordable and every one is very friendly plus they teach me turkish while im there. I very much recommend you go try the best well done food in paterson.“

Vegetarian options: Gozleme, Falafel, Salad“

“excellent food, service and environment crew is excellent“

“Bence bolgenin en iyisi, yemekler çok lezzetli, hiç bir şey baştan salma değil. Çakışanlar Cok saygılı. Amerika’da gittiğim en iyi restaurant diyebilirim ve iyi bir Türk yemeği yemek isteyenlere tavsiye ederim. Adana kebap, lahmacun ve kuş başı pidesi ni denedim ve bayildim. İnşallah diğerleri gibi bozmadan devam ederler.“

“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.“

“Phenomenal food, atmosphere and what wonderful hospitality from staff. Everyone was so attentive and accommodated all our needs. We had lentil soup, iskender, lahmacun, baklava and şekerpare. I honestly didn’t think they could do all so perfect. It felt like a warm hug from home, Turkey. Thank you from the kitchen to the front house staff. What an amazing experience!“

“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!“

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

“Really enjoyed this neighborhood gem, which has been there for 30 years. We tried it for the first time this past weekend and thought the food was terrific. The staff was very sweet and attentive, as well. It’s also good to know that it is open late, after Broadway shows let out, should you feel like dining on the late side.“

“Love it i enjoyed the food“

“Best Kabab place in Pennsylvania.“

“One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in the United States. The meat and kebabs were absolutely incredible 👍 perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly authentic⚡️ The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. You can really feel the passion behind the food. Highly recommended👍“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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%“

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

“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“

“Great restaurant, I recommend it to everyone.👍“

“This great fast casual spot features the BEST rotisserie chicken. They also have great smoothies and nice desserts. Extremely warm customer service (shoutout to Johnny). They have self serve drinks. I haven’t tried the pizza but it looks good. Can’t wait to have the chicken again“

“Food is perfect also, I love the hot pita bread. Price is really good 😊“

“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 😋“

“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 👍😋“

“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The Lahmacun was delicious, with the perfect blend of flavors and a crispy crust. The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. It's no surprise that the owner is a well-known chef in Turkey. I highly recommend you all try it!“

“Best Turkish Food this side of the Black Sea ?! Sarah really welcomes all with professionalism. Staff has a Great outlook too.“

“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!“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

“We come to NJ 5-6 times a year and always make it a priority to eat here. It is the best tasting, most authentic Turkish food you will find! Highly recommend it!“

“I have been coming to this restaurant for a long time, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. Every dish I have tried has been amazing, and the quality is consistently excellent.

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always provides great service. The atmosphere is comfortable and makes you feel at home. Whether I come for a quick meal or a special occasion, I always leave satisfied.

This is one of my favorite restaurants, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I will definitely keep coming back!“
