Amazing from start to finish. Drinks delicious. (Forget me yes) kale salad wonderful. Grilled shrimp - excellent . Lamb shank wrapped in eggplant - fabulous. Finished with Turkish coffee (we has no room for dessert 😢😢 Our server Adem was above and beyond any level of expectation and I'd request him on our next visit - he was sensational.

the place is really nice, relaxing ambiance, visually inviting and fun. Great variety of menu options as well as fun special cocktails. servers were attentive to our needs and politely responded to all our questions. everything tasted fresh and delicious.

Authentic and absolutely delicious! Meats cooked to perfection! Apps & Salads so flavorful! Festive atmosphere for our Anniversary!!! Loved it!

While the food is very good, every time I go, the plate changes with things being eliminated...there used to be a bit of salad and pickled onions which accompanied the entree and both have disappeared off the plate, one by one.. they were nice accompaniments to the entree... now it's just meat and a slice of an u see roasted tomato. Also last nights waiter was inattentive and rushed us to take our order. I would have had a second glass of wine but he never returned to check in. Also, he did not present the restaurant week menu... I had to ask for it and the request was not met politely.

This is a lovely restaurant with a wide selection of dips and mains. The lamb chops were amazing! We reserved for 9:00 pm and at that time (only 1/4 full) the restaurant was only moderately noisy. I think if it were full, it might be quite noisy but there is outside seating. The food is really well prepared and our server was delightful, attentive but not overly so. We're definitely going back!

The host and all the servers gave us outstanding service and attention. We live across the street and this will be our regular place from now on.

The restaurant, the service and the foods were great, except that the portion of mixed grilled (and the rice) was not big. I will come back and try other dishes for sure.

The mezze platter for two was huge and oh, so good! Perfect for these hot and humid summer evenings in NYC.

Overall experience was fantastic. The food was delicious and the service was exemplary. The service staff was not overbearing and were there at every instance we needed them. They were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything we had was very tasty, the standouts were the Muhammara dip, Adana kabob and the lamb chops

When we first arrived, all the windows were open in spite of it being an almost 90° day. They closed them when we requested, and once the air conditioning kicked in it worked out very well. However we almost left because it was so hot prior to that. Food was excellent as always. Servers were extremely pleasant snd on top of things. I do wish they had a better wine selection, most wines by the glass were almost $20 and they didn't give you a very generous pour. 
Great kebobs. Terrific, sharable appetizers. Energetic crowd. Tables much too close to each other. Hostile maitre d' denies you have a reservation when it is right there.

The food was exceptional, and the service was truly excellent—attentive and professional throughout our visit. That said, I highly recommend clearly communicating any food allergies when ordering. I have an eggplant allergy and ordered a dish that didn't list eggplant as an ingredient and didn't include it on the plate. Unfortunately, I became very ill shortly after leaving the restaurant. In hindsight, I believe there may have been cross-contamination, possibly from shared grill surfaces, as my husband's eggplant dish had identical grill marks to my fish. This was on me for not stating my allergy explicitly, especially given how many dishes on the menu feature eggplant. Due to the risk of cross-contact, we won't be returning—but I want to emphasize that if you don't have food sensitivities, I would absolutely recommend this place. The food and staff are both outstanding.

This has been one of our favorite restaurants in the neighborhood since 2005- always delicious food, great attentive service good drinks however last night we were disappointed everything was off idk what happened (we were there 2 weeks ago and all was as usual great) and we had an out of town guest ! Disappointed
Karen
Shepherd salad and hummus were great - although Shepherd salad has been shrinking for some time now. Falafel was good, as was Albanian liver. Best of all was the fruit plate for dessert. It was some of the best fruit I have ever eaten in a restaurant, delicious!

The food is always excellent here. They raised their prices, but still worth it. Very noisy the night we were there.
