“Went with a group of 8. The service was great! Our waiter made suggestions that we took them up on and they were absolutely perfect! as a table we shared the mixed app dips with the pink sultan. This was some of the very best muhammara I've ever had. We also split a few lamhacun which were also super yummy. For our meals, we had various different plates which all were big hits. The service was great and we were warmly welcomed by the staff with prompt service. I can't wait to go back.“

“Great addition to "nicer" Turkish restaurants around NYC --for date nights. The atmosphere, food, and staff were all wonderful. Even though we had reservations, the place was not overly packed on a Friday night, which I appreciate. There is also seating available at the bar. We got two delicious cocktails and manti (delicious), stuffed wine leaves with cherry sauce (delicious), icli kofte (delicious), and lokum kebab (which were good too, but nothing crazy). I would definitely go back and recommend this place to friends.“

“An Excellent Turkish Restaurant in NYC !!!I was in New York City for a business trip last week and by searching for a Turkish place in Midtown I came across Akdeniz. I was met with true Turkish hospitality, everyone was very nice. I had the Iskender Kebab which tasted as if I was in Istanbul. It was very fresh and tasty. The babaghannous was nicely made you could taste the fresh roasted eggplant, as good as the best in Turkey. It was such a great experience that two days later I went back for lunch and had the Adana Kebab which was one of the best Ive had in the States. I highly recommend Akdeniz!!!“

“I don't ever really write reviews, but after today's visit I wanted to share. I have been going to Cafe Turkey since they first opened, the food is very yummy, fresh, the service is amazing. Today I went there at 9PM, after a long day at work. They were getting ready to close, no one was there but they opened the back area for me to have dinner, turned on the heat, let me take my time to eat didn't rush me, AG was very welcoming and so kind to check if I needed anything and let me stay after they close for the day. It felt like a family not a just business. Thank you AG for making my night feeling so welcome at my local favorite restaurant in Astoria.“

The menu was excellent with a great variety of meats and chickens and seafood, along with some vegetarian items. The staff has made us very comfortable and brought each cocktail and meal on time.

“I just need to say. After I finished my excellent meal. I had a food high and craved a cigar and a Cognac. I got the preferred Cognac selection can't remember the exact name, but it was 225.00 for a glass. The best Cognac I ever had. I had an amazing food experience. Here are the pictures. By the way, I had the Meat Sushi for the appetizer and the Salmon for the Main. For the Table, we got the Tomahawk Steak medium rare, a dozen oysters, blooming onion, and crab legs oh I forgot I had a classic mojito in the beginning. ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU GO. IT'S WORTH EVERY EXPENSIVE DOLLAR. BON APPETIT.“

“Phenomenal meal! We were lucky enough to sit in Alicia section and basically just followed her suggestions. The tzatziki, octopus, duck, and baklava were all . We were able to get in and out to catch our train without compromising on a great NYC culinary experience. Looking forward to coming back!“

“Great little place. Food is all homemade and really good. World class Baba ghanoush and their lentil soup, as the kids would say, really hits! This place only has 9 tables and 3 of them are only for 2 people so I wouldn't recommend it for large parties unless you let them know ahead of time. The Baklava is also a stand-out. You definitely have to try this place if you are in the neighborhood!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access“

“Seasoned with herbs and aromatics. Not overly seasoned, good grade of meat, rice is bit sticky but great flavor. The bread was made in house, crispy on the outside fluffy and chewy on the inside. Overall a great place to get your dose of Turkish food. Ordered through Ubereats“

“Was passing by and went in and got a Lamb Gyro to go since I glanced at the reviews and they looked good, and I agree. Good size, filling and the bread was fresh and tasty.Will be back again with more time to try one of their plates that looked really tasty.“

“Exceptionally good beef Doner in the typical style found in Istanbul or Berlin. Tastes just like the veal hind leg meat once only sourced in genuine venues such as Yatagan of Macdougal Street.Highly recommended when one experiences that hankering for traditional doner. Only downside is that in 2024 they charge $13 USD for a wrap or gyro less than 1/3rd the size of Yatagan's $2.75 serving.At least you can have sutlac (rice pudding) for $6 instead of the $8 most other places charge these days...“

“This establishment left a very positive impression on me during my initial visit. The lively atmosphere and decor create an immersive experience reminiscent of Istanbul.The service provided was exceptional. Although I did not obtain the name of our server, I believe she may have been the owner. She consistently ensured that all our needs were promptly met.We commenced our meal with the delectable spicy hummus, accompanied by their exceptional bread. I also highly recommend the red lentil soup. For my main course, I savored the flavors of the mixed grill.I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone visiting the city. You will not be disappointed.“

“The place I'd well lit, comfortable, and elegant without being ostentatious. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is fabulous! The phyllo scrolls stuffed with feta were divine and we could eat them forever. I had the lamb Adana and it was delicious! So flavorful. My friends has the falafel and the manti Turkish ravioli. Both were good but the manti was a new experience for us all. The mint flavor is strong in the yogurt sauce which we all loved. The texture and flavor of the ravioli in combination with the sauce makes you want to savor it and gobble it up all at once. Unfortunately, two of us were on medications that affect our appetites so we may have looked like we weren't enjoying ourselves as much as we actually were and this appeared to cause concern. They really want you to enjoy what you're eating and it's wonderful they take pride in what they do. What we didn't eat there, we gladly took with us! I'd you're looking for a reasonably priced delicious place to eat in that area, come here! It's wonderful!“

“Cozy, warm, and inviting atmosphere. I came here from Long Island to meet with someone special who I hadn't seen in months, and it was the perfect place for us to catch up and talk and laugh together over a cup of Turkish coffee (with a complimentary Turkish delight in the side). The woman who served us was so sweet and welcoming. If I lived closer I'd come here all the time!“

“Lokal was an absolute delight! We'd had a long day (with three kids) at the museum and needed to have a break with good eats. Not only did Lokal provide that but it was all better than imagined. We had the stuffed red peppers (our favorite dish) it was so refreshing with the lemon yogurt. We had hummus which paired fantastic with their house bread. The kids got chicken tenders and pizza. They loved it and we loved sneaking bites. I had the avocado tomato salad with grilled salmon: wow! A delight! So fresh and filling! My husband had the lamb burger with feta cheese. He devoured it. We all shared some baklava and the grownups a delicious cup of espresso. If we weren't leaving NYC, we'd totally return for *several* more meals. Perfect staff deserves a shout out as well.“

“This is my second time eating here. First one was long time ago (I don’t live around) for Ramadan dinner. This time was for lunch. They have good soups and good pide. I had kelle paca (lamb head meat in a broth) and kusbasili pide. Both were delicious. My sons had red lentil soup and pastrami pide, they loved it. Owner and workers are very friendly and always pay attention to the table. This place is far to my home but if I pass by again definitely would stop either for eat-in or takeout.“

“We had dinner here with our booking beginning at 7pm. It was quite full and there was only one server/host, I think the owner of the place, but she was able to cater to us among all other customers in a timely manner. The restaurant closed at 10pm but my friend and I lost track of time in conversation. We were not even asked to leave as there was still a party of 6 people and ourselves (party of 2). The host was so accommodating and welcomed us staying until after we were well done (sometime between 11pm -12am). Not once were we asked to leave. Also on dessert, we were able to get their almond pudding even around 11pm, and after the kitchen closed (which was something we wanted to taste while there). Overall it was a memorable experience - food, Turkish wine & the service. It's my second time being there. I would go again.“

“I recently dined at Saray Turkish restaurant and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a touch of traditional Turkish decor. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The food was the highlight, with each dish bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. I particularly enjoyed the mezze platter and the succulent lamb kebabs. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend Saray for an authentic and enjoyable Turkish dining experience.“
“Ordered catering for a work event and was given great pricing and attention from the restaurant owner Ramazan. The food was a hit with everyone and left everyone stuffed. As a Turk, this was a trip down memory lane as classics were served in an authentic matter. I personally loved all the food and would love to support the business again. P.S. the baklava is perfect.“

“This fantastic Turkish restaurant excels in offering the rich flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, particularly with its delicious array of appetizers. Dishes like Adana kebab, chicken skewers, eggplant kebab, and döner are all meticulously prepared and bursting with flavor. The warmth and hospitality of the owner, Birol Bey, create an unforgettable experience for customers. The ambiance with live music adds a unique touch to the dining experience. Situated in Cliffside Park, the restaurant’s location with its dedicated parking makes it easily accessible. The friendly staff and appropriate noise level further enhance the experience. This remarkable establishment stands as one of the leading entertainment spots in New Jersey and is definitely worth a visit.“

“I was heading to the F train, this cold day on March 22, 2024, along Houston Street, when I decided to stopped for a bite. I passed by Ankara and saw a sign that said "good deals on falafels." Hmm. I wondered why it's good deals. Just curious. I went in anyway. The place was very clean and inviting. I ordered the falafel with lettuce, tomatoes, and Bermuda onions, on a pita bread. The yogurt sauce, hot sauce and another sauce was in different containers, which I'm glad. Usually the sauces are poured over the sandwich and it's all messy. They did put a little bit of tasty sauce though. Oh wow! The falafel came hot to the touch, but when I'd opened the wrapper, the veggies inside was cool and fresh!! The 3 falafels were crispy outside and has soft and tasty flavor inside. The side sauces were great also. It was fresh and clean with no oil or grease. I'd enjoyed every bit of it. I took a picture and sent it to my sister and message her how good it was. She said to order her one and her son said "I want one too." Now I'm curious to try other dishes on their menus. It looks delicious. I will bring my friends here for a nice dinner and will write another wonderful review for them. Very good food, Ankara #3. I'm impressed.“

“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.“

“Mehmet, Cyrille, Deb, and Alok, are the best bartenders ever in the entire new work city. I can’t imagine how they thrive to a higher position considering their time accumulated and their consistent hospitality and immaculate communication to bar regulars. I would give them, and Tony and Primo 5 Michelin Stars if I could.Kid-friendliness: Def not kid friendly considering the crowd. The staff is amazing though. The parking is subject to NYC parking availability (call 311 at your discretion).“

“I finished a dental appointment around 4 on a cold rainy day and felt a bowl of soup would cut the chill. I walked just a few blocks before Turkish Kitchen caught my eye and found lentil soup on the menu. Inside, the walls are a warm red with tables covered with crisp white tablecloths. I don't remember the last time that happened. I ordered the lentil soup and phyllo rolls. Soup arrived first with a cone of fresh baked bread perfect for dipping and a wedge of lemon for optional seasoning. It was delicious. The phyllo rolls came midway and had a delicate crisp shell with a soft center. Maybe halumi cheese? Service was attentive and gracious. And not only did I get a complimentary bite of baklava to end my snack, but also an unexpected 20% off the bill for their 4-6 early bird discount. I'll be back.“

“Delicious food and cute little gem of a restaurant. Had the place to ourselves on a week night. The place is BYOB if you would like any alcoholic beverage. Liquor store right across the street almost. Will return for sure to try other choices off the menu. ☺️Vegetarian options: Had the vegetable stew and it was so yummy. The hummus, red lentil soup and avocado baba ganoush were total winners for my vegetarian selection.“

“Absolutely Fantastic Vegan Kofteh and More! I recently had the pleasure of dining at this hidden gem of a vegan restaurant, and it completely exceeded my expectations. Not only is the owner incredibly kind and welcoming, but the food is nothing short of amazing. The vegan kofteh (a personal favorite) was delicious, with a perfect blend of flavors and spices. It’s evident that they take pride in using fresh ingredients, as everything tasted exceptionally fresh and wholesome. What’s even more impressive is their diverse menu. From delectable crepes and waffles to refreshing fruit sticks and indulgent sundaes, they have a wide range of options to satisfy every craving. Whether you’re a vegan veteran or just curious about plant-based cuisine, this place offers something for everyone. What stood out the most to me was the fact that everything is made fresh daily. You can taste the care and dedication that goes into each dish. It’s a testament to their commitment to quality. If you’re looking for a welcoming atmosphere, a friendly owner, and mouthwatering vegan delights, this place is an absolute must-visit. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu. Five stars, no doubt!“

“This place offers very authentic Eastern European food. We tried several appetizers, Turkish coffee, and desserts. The flavors were truly authentic, and the prices were reasonable. If you're looking to experience Eastern European cuisine, this restaurant is a great choice. Additionally, there are some grocery stores nearby selling Eastern European cheeses, sausages, and snacks, allowing you to continue savoring the flavors of Eastern European cuisine and various ethnic dishes at home.“

“Every dish was incredible! I took a friend there for his birthday and we started with the dolma appetizer, complete with lemon wedges and yogurt-mint dip. It was so good! My friend had the lamb kebab and red lentil soup, and I and another friend had the specialty eggplant with sun-dried tomatoes, salad, and bulgar. We ended with the homemade almond pudding (made by our waitress) and Turkish tea. Every bite of each dish was mouth-wateringly flavorful. We could taste each ingredient and spice in each dish from the appetizer to the dessert. The staff was amazing. They were friendly, efficient, and welcoming, and they seemed to love working there and talking to customers. They even gave us a delicious eggplant dip appetizer on the house--spicy and yummy! I've been to Turkish Cuisine at least 10 times and I've never been disappointed.“

“Came with 2 friends.Sandwiches and fries are great!Staff service is amazing. Guy gave us sanitizing wipes and extra napkins when he saw that we ran out.How would i describe the food? The fries r like mcdonalds fries but crispier and seasoned well. The no fork sandwich is like a largeeee costco hotdog with a toasted, really soft and light bun. Bread isnt too filling; perfect for a light lunch. The meat/cheese interior was supreme though“
