Russell HirschornFebruary 11, 2018Excellent turkish menu and great prices. Start with the mezze and grilled shrimp. Izkender kabab only until 8/9pm and it is amazing. Otherwise go for mixed gril or any specials.
Andrew COctober 17, 2017Incredible Turkish/Mediterranean cuisine foods, great value of the small but powerful menu of meat/fish entrees and appetizers!!! All of it was so delicious
Anechka M.March 28, 2017What a place! Wanna feel real taste of Turkey? Order cold appetizer platter Mezo - we took a small portion and even that one was huge! Tea is a real Turkish tea, don't forget to add sugar
Village VoiceJune 3, 2013This spot is always packed, and it's easy to see why. Their staples include mezze plates, donor kebabs, and whole grilled striped bass and are some of the best Turkish offerings in the entire city.
Excellent, solid Turkish restaurant. The mezze platter is delicious... Do not pass on the zucchini pancakes if you happen to be lucky to get the offer as part of the day specials!
Shauna LittleApril 29, 2014Iskender kebab is the best I've had outside of Bursa. It's a must order. Mucver (zucchini fritters) is not on the menu but usually on special. It's a perfect appetizer. Afiyet olsun!
Nate LinskyJuly 5, 2017Awesome meze platter, octopus and fried calamari. Shepherd salad is good but not the best. Overall wonderful time and will be spending more time here in the future- Joe DJuly 2, 2015For 2 people, the mezzes platter and the iskender kebab are amazingly delicious and perfectly portioned. Go get 'em!
Justin OrdovezaJanuary 29, 2017The large mezze is a meal in its own right, it's a nice vegetarian option. The staff is friendly. They have outside seating.
Alexandros PlexidasMay 19, 2016Great Turkish and Greek food, super pleasant and polite service and authentic eastern decoration. Don't miss the zucchini balls, cheese pie and sausage.
Large mezze platter is a great plate to share for 2. Ask for more bread if you need it!
After coming dozens of times, no menu necessary: mashed eggplant, cacik, shepherd's salad for app (with lots of bread of course) and for the main: lamb doner kebab. You won't be sorry.
Ali ColangeloMarch 5, 2016Obsessed. One of the best restaurants on the UES. Get the cucumber yogurt dip, beef app and crab cakes. Always packed, so expect a wait!
Dona HMarch 6, 2015Authentic Turkish restaurant with very affordable prices. Lentil soup is a must if you're visiting in the winter time.
Marc SchneebergerFebruary 29, 2020Best turkish food in the UES with very friendly waiters. Get the kebab or meat plter!!
MaureenJuly 20, 2013Great casual Turkish restaurant with pleasant sidewalk dining when it's not too hot. Best dishes -- Ezme and Iskendar Kebabs! The bread is pretty fabulous too!
Noemi JimenezOctober 15, 2013Delicious, fresh Turkish food. Red lentil soup, cheese boreks and mezze platter = YUM!!! Service is great too - super friendly waitresses. New fave.
Tova ItzkovitzJuly 21, 2019Always a good meal. I highly recommend the mezze platter and swordfish kabobs. The only downside is the acoustics.
Tina ZAugust 6, 2018Patio tables are prime for people watching, sipping wine, and ordering mezze to better demolish the incredibly delicious free bread.
Caleb LubarskyMay 1, 2016Mezze is amazing...octopus my favorite around...and the bread alone is worth the trip! A must eat....
Chris SteeleJune 13, 2015The food here is good, especially the mixed grill and seafood options. The rice pilaf contains secret orzo, putting a crimp in a menu that is otherwise quite gluten-friendly.
New York HabitatDecember 9, 2011We're big fans of Turkish food and Beyoglu really hits the spot. Get the Doner kebab or the Iskender Kebab but save room for the bread!- Village VoiceJanuary 18, 2013We love the generous portions and plates designed for sharing, in true Turkish fashion - come with a big group of friends.
Really good Mediterranean - the hummus and bread are excellent as is the grilled chicken dish
Noisy! Sit upstairs if you want to hear each other. Best Calamari and meze platter of any Turkish restaurant in Manhattan.
Meze platter and Beyoglu salad are great. Split that to start, and branzino to share as a main.
Teresa WSeptember 23, 2012start with the meze sampler (hummus, eggplant and other yummy dips). doner kebab tasty, as is the Turkish white wine!
AmateurConciergeMay 1, 2017On point cheap eats with quick table service turns. Hummus and doner were great
Olga GolubkovaJuly 30, 2019Just get their lamb dishes. High quality meat for a very reasonable price – what else can you ask for?
Tash ConcepcionMay 22, 2014The hummus and baba ghanoush are both a must try! The bread they serve it with is excellent as well.
David SiuOctober 9, 2017The platter of spreads / dips was fantastic. Good bread. That I can eat everyday.
Melissa MoonJuly 19, 2013Food is good but, unless you're incredibly hungry, 2 people can share 1 entree/large salad. Also, the walls absorb absolutely no sound so it's incredibly loud in there. Not a place for a quiet meal!
Nina CebenkoMay 23, 2012Adorable restaurant with amazing hummus and pita bread. Perfect spot if you want to catch up with a friend over dinner.
Stephanie P.November 18, 2013This place is delicious and affordable. The small Mezze Platter is enough to quell your hunger after a day at the MET.
Joanna FlammJuly 10, 2012The Meze platter is a great vegetarian option, especially on a hot day. I could easily have eaten a large plate by myself.- Audrey BJanuary 16, 2015Great Mediterranean food! The place is small so don't come here without a reservation. It is always packed!
Rafi RomeroMay 9, 2015octopus. bread with caviar spread. and you might as well get the hummus. (doner kebab and feta-filled pita/dough were ok but not phenomenal.)
If you come here and don't order hummus, then you haven't actually come here. If you come here, order hummus, and Iskendar Kebab, you will give your taste buds the equivalent of an orgasm.
- JacquiJune 27, 2011Get the meze platter! Delicious, everything is homemade, and the small size is more than enough for 2 people to share as an appetizer.
ChristinaAugust 12, 2016As an appetizer, the hummus is tasty but their sigara borek is an absolute must-order.
Jennifer ReinholdJune 29, 2013The Meze Platter is great, and you can add carrots & celery (but beware its an extra $4!).
You can't go wrong with the mezze platter - hummus and spinach are the standouts. The octopus is amazingly tender. Super yum!
David HollandsSeptember 4, 2014While everything is great here, order the mezzes with abandon. Lovely and fresh.
Bonnie CarpenterSeptember 9, 2014Packed and for good reason. The rice is delicious and the meat is cooked perfect. Portion sizes are large so share!
Chris WaslinJuly 23, 2016The fastest service ever! Get the appetizer sampler, too many good options!
