Turkish Restaurants in Brooklyn, NY

“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.“

“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!“

“Good food, good service and good atmosphere“

“I’ve been here multiple times and the food is consistently incredible. So well seasoned, meats are perfectly grilled, homemade bread, and the dips are delicious! Staff is always very kind and welcoming. I can’t recommend Tava enough, it’s the perfect dinner spot. I take everyone who visits park slope here!“

“This spot has a cozy vibe and serves up some good fusion Turkish-Middle Eastern food. The staff is friendly and seems to enjoy what they do, which makes the visit feel more relaxed. Food is fresh, and their bread with the garlic tzatziki was memorable. Wine options are solid and not too expensive, but just know it’s cash or Venmo only. Overall, a bit on the pricey side but worth it for a nice meal.“

“They are my go to every time I come to NYC. Absolutely Love the owners, staff and the food. I am so happy I recently purchased a beautiful lamp.“

“Best place in Dekalb Market. The food is fresh, delicious, healthy, filling, and priced right. Not only that - the crew is the best in the business. They’re always smiling, growing the team sustainably, and feeding the masses with joy. Well done!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Brighton Beach Gem I’ve Loved for Over a Decade

This place has been so, so good to me — truly. I love it with all my heart, and I recommend it from the bottom of my soul. ❤️

I’ve spent countless hours here over the years, always with my absolute favorite Turkish coffee in hand. Honestly? I have no idea where else I would even go for a truly authentic Turkish coffee and treat. Nothing compares.

It’s right in the middle of Brighton Beach — what many of us used to call Little Odessa — and it has everything: great music, reliable internet, and a sweet little stamp card where every 10 coffees earns you a free one. Let’s just say… I’ve earned quite a few. 😊

Even now that I live far away (finally!), I still come back here specifically for this coffee, and I make a whole day out of it. That tells you everything.

If you’ve never been, you really have to come check it out and feel what I’m talking about. I vouch for this place completely.
A true Brighton Beach treasure. ☕💛“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“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 😋“

“Cool Turkish spot. Little language barrier and prices are confusing on the menu.Cheeseburger and fries were good. Crinkle fries are delicious and perfectly seasoned. Burger wasn’t that hot but fresh. Would go here again. Worker just needs to understand how much before ringing things up. Using the cellphone with gloves when I first walked in was a no no. Don’t know if he changed them when making the food being it’s only him in the place as a cashier and cook.“

“Me gusta su comida y el personal es muy amable“

“The restaurant is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They prepare Turkish cuisine. Several tables are available for dining in but there are no servers. Soups, salads, hot and cold appetizers, meat pies, entrees, sandwiches, wraps, beverages and desserts are available. I ordered the chicken gyro and kofte kebab platters. Both platters provided customers with generous portions. The food tasted very good and was well-prepared. Friendly and helpful staff.“

“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!“

“Evet çok kaliteli çayı bir numara ❤️“

“Tasty food & beautiful atmosphere 🥰🥰“

“Istanbul Bay delivers dishes that maintain quality visit after visit. I found this agreeable place through Yelp. The food quality speaks to careful sourcing. Staff members displayed good manners and I was completely pleased. The visit was a genuine pleasure for us.“

“the food was so dry the portions were so small at least fill the tins for the price it went up and the quality went down. will not be good back again very disappointed we once really enjoyed going here .“

“Delicious food, great atmosphere, service is remarkable ✔️“

“The food was good, but the service was not good. We always had to search for our waiter who was missing in action. At one time, my son had to get up and look for him, he was just standing on the other side leaning. I’ve asked for water when we came, I had to repeat several times until the water was brought. My son asked if they can separate potato and salad on the separate plate, the waiter said that they’re too busy and they won’t do that. (They weren’t too busy). They charge automatically an 18% service charge, therefore the waiters don’t feel obligated to work for their tips. Not a good thing.“

“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.“

“I live upstate and I drive 2 hours just to come here and get lamp chops and rice best place ever I will never stop coming here no matter how far I have to drive“

“What an amazing experience with my parents. The food was delicious, also had a great vibe and the owner and the family were very hospitable.
I saw the family cooking food that is authentic and was very flavourful. My parents were impressed & very happy with everything and enjoyed the experience.“

“Our visit was defined by an exceptional standard of service and culinary excellence. The staff demonstrated remarkable professionalism and warmth, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The Turkish cuisine was expertly prepared, with a focus on robust and satisfying flavors. I would like to specifically commend our waitress, Ms. Durdona, for her impeccable service and genuine hospitality, which truly elevated the dining experience.“

“Good food, if you can make it on time, they usually run out of their main dish , lamb gyro by 8ish on Friday night. However other option available.“

“This place speaks to my soul. I walk in & feel like I’ve just entered my abuelas home, it’s very welcoming, very comfortable, & feels like a home away from home. The hospitality is unmatched, the food is fresh, tasty & presented nicely, the waterfront view is calming, the bathrooms are clean & accessible. The atmosphere has a way of relaxing your nervous system & helping you smile if you’ve had a rough day!

Please pay them a visit & you won’t be disappointed! Tell them Ray sent you(they don’t know me by name, yet but it’d be fun to see their facial expressions 😂)“
