If I could rate this restaurant zero stars, I would. The service was poor, and the food arrived undercooked and cold. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Terrible experience. Orders came late, the meat was cold and undercooked. There was hair in the olive oil zero hygiene. Staff were yelling, the place was chaotic. Never coming back and definitely don’t recommend it.

Nice and clean restaurant where you can go with your friends or with your family. And of course the food is excellent.

I came here for iftar with my friend and I enjoyed my experience soo much. The food was great, I ordered the Lahmajun and Doner platter. Both dishes were delicious and for dessert we can this creamy custard with cinnamon on top. Would definitely come here again with family. The service was amazing too constantly checking if we needed anything. And ofc don’t forget to end off your meal with some turkish tea ☕️

The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt authentic and made with high-quality ingredients. You can truly taste the richness of Mediterranean cuisine in every bite.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance between cozy and vibrant. The staff was attentive, kind, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. I will absolutely be coming back!

Valentine's Day - place not packed at all. We waited 25 minutes with not even an offer of water... and we had reservations! Completely overlooked while 2 other couples of their ethnicity came in and were taken care of right away. I was very disappointed as I was so excited to try their food. I had a very similar experience in the Brooklyn location and was hoping this would be different. I was wrong. Zara and Riva never disappoint. I'll stay loyal to them from now on.

Excellent Service!! Awesome food. Thank you Mert for being an excellent waiter.
