Turkish Restaurants near Bronx, NY

“Stopped in tonight, not very crowded which was great and the food was served super quickly. Loved every bite!

The highlight of the night was Lourdes the cashier/ attendant. She was so friendly and welcoming and attentive. She was able to recommend things on the menu and elaborate on the options.

While I was eating she kept checking in on me and my guest and walking around cleaning surfaces and tidying up the space. Amazing customer service from her. Would absolutely recommend this place and I hope anyone that stops in gets to meet Lourdes.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.🥰“

“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!“

“When I am in town I frequent this establishment as often as possible. They provide the best mediterranean food on the East Coast. The service is impeccable. The food is out of this world. Thank you so much for being around.“

“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.“

“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.“

“ordered shepherds salad on a Saturday night to go. Got home see pictures. First off, personally I don't like olives with pits in a salad. I hate taking a bite and having to deal with pits.
2nd so little feta..On a salad this size should be double the amount. Lastly, no utensils. Doesn't make a difference if it was to go. Utensils should always accompany a meal. I could have wemt to the beach.

Either way, salad tasted good, service was good. Will probably be back, will ask for extra cheese abd utensils“

“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“

“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.“

“رائع ومميز وبعده حلوه كثير“

“Best Turkish place in the city!“

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

“This quaint tiny restaurant has authentic burek. The server was honest about the time it would take to deliver the food we wanted to order and therefore we were able to change our order to accommodate our schedule. We experienced a very clean environment nice atmosphere (although florescent light are a vibe kill) and delicious food. Not fancy but wholesome. Thanks for a healthy portion!“

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

“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!“

“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 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!“

“From the drinks to the food prepare to indulge in heavenly bliss. We’ve been coming here for three years and each time it only gets better. This time big thanks to Alexis for the lovely hospitality.“

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

“Ate here last night with my husband - everything was great! Very friendly staff, great selection, quick service, and clean all around. We ordered gyros, salad, feta, and French fries and everything was so good. The meat was so so tender and juicy, matching The Eater articles description that actually sent us here. The Turkish pita was super fresh and light, and the prices were great. Big portions, could have ordered less for sure! Definitely will be back!“

“Delicious food and great atmosphere.“

“Food and service was fantastic. Restaurant is nice and warm. Food came very quickly.“

“i was passing by the area and looking for a quick filling lunch, very pleasantly surprised by how yummy their chicken doner sandwich was. You MUSTT get their homemade bread, it’s so soft yet a little toasted on the outside. The cabbage and pickles were so refreshing, a nice balance to the savory chicken. It was also GIGANTIC. You will not leave hungry for sure. There is a modest seating area in there as well, in case you need to rest a little before continuing going wherever.“

“Highly recommended ,we have been several times here. Awesome servis, very friendly and all foods are delicious .“

“Great food and service and reasonably priced.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Iris recently, and it was a standout experience from start to finish. The Mediterranean influences were clear in every dish, but with a fresh, elevated twist that made the entire meal feel both comforting and refined.

Dessert was a real highlight. The Pistachio Baklava Sundae was both playful and decadent—layers of crunchy pastry, spiced nuts, and creamy ice cream came together in a way that felt indulgent but not overly sweet. I also tried the Cherry Baba, which brought a nice tart contrast with its syrup-soaked cake and cherry-forward flavor.

Service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance struck a great balance between elegant and inviting.“

“I stopped by this little coffee shop on a whim, and wow, I’m so glad I did! The coffee and bagels were amazing and the owner is the nicest person ever. Super friendly and made me feel so welcome, like I’d been coming here forever. The place has such a cozy vibe, and the pastries. Don’t even get me started—so good! Definitely my new go-to spot. If you’re in the area, you HAVE to check it out!“

“Amazing service!! Came for the jazz night & drinks mostly. Gentiana D was our bartender and she makes a meannnn pink martini & my husband had a patron & pineapple. So good! She is the best bartender we had in a long time! We are definitely coming back soon 10/10 !!“

“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!“

“First time here, but it definitely won’t be the last! Everything we tried was delicious. Loved the chocolate baklava and the rice pudding the most. Tahini & pistachio baklava were great too. Cutest interior and coffee cups. The owner was super kind as well! Highly recommend!“

“Went yesterday for my sisters 30th birthday for happy hour drinks and it was amazing! The service was amazing (and they were slammed by the end of our time there) but the servers themselves were even better. We shared the mixed spread app (probably not the name) and it was delicious.“

“Appetizers were really good. Service was excellent highly recommend“

“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.“
