Jennifer HFebruary 14, 2016The best Turkish coffee I've had outside of Turkey (great bakery items too!).
Lydia VanWormerJuly 10, 2017Sultan Platter and the egg dish with yogurt and butter sauce was sooo good!! Pleasant change to our usual breakfast staples and can't wait to do it again!! Yum!!!
Zlata ZubenkoMay 29, 2017A perfect breakfast for two: Mucver (zucchini patties) with sunny side up eggs, Menemen (eggs in a pan) and pistachio baklava for dessert with Turkish coffee or tea.
What's Good HereAugust 7, 2014For brunch, order the Sucuklu Yumurta - a Turkish Classic of Sausage and Baked Eggs for Brunch (Turkish Beef Pepperoni)
Anna DzhenkovaMarch 15, 2015The most delicious baklava in town! I love this place! They deliver desserts directly from Turkey, this is why they are amazingly delicious and authentic!
John AFebruary 27, 2017Great Mediterranean style / Turkish cafe with outstanding sweet treats. A good stiff cup of their coffee helps balance out the sweets.
Village VoiceAugust 24, 2010The baklava comes in a mind boggling variety. The fruit in the cherry baklava is juicy & vibrant, the chestnut is creamy & mellow, & the double pistachio bursts at the seams w/ bright green nuts.
Harumi USeptember 8, 2013Amazing selection baklava although it goes without saying. Tried several and my favorite was double pistachio
Chelsea LawrenceNovember 22, 2015Shepherd's salad (cucumber, tomato, onion, herbs) is great but overpriced at $7.95. Cheese burek ($5.50) decent, wished some of the phyllo was crispier and more cooked. Again a tad overpriced.
Real Cheap EatsNovember 12, 2011Try the "Gül böreği" ($7.50/lb), "an eggy pastry that is more quiche-like than flaky, comes stuffed with spinach and feta, potato or spinach and ground beef." Read more
Kerem KalkanciAugust 21, 2011Cheese borek and bosnak borek are amazing! Couple that with a turkish tea and you are all set for breakfast - or lunch.
amNewYorkOctober 4, 2011Sip tea and sample any of the 12 varieties of baklava at this comfortable cafe. The honey- and pistachio-filled treats are sure to brighten anyone’s evening.
Kutay UserMarch 1, 2014Sit by the window and sip your hot lentil soup while it's snowing outside. Priceless.
Jade FDecember 25, 2012Be sure to go early in the day if you want to eat food from the cafe (versus just dessert) because they run out of most dishes they offer by 5:30pm.
Kerem KoçFebruary 21, 2015Hey New Yorkers, this is what you need in these big freeze days!! #bigfreeze #ny #brunch
Try the new Turkish winter special drink - sahlep. It's a perfect hot milk based drink for cold days!
Love the sweets here are super!! 👍🏽👍🏽😝
Nukhet KayahanApril 9, 2010Lentil soap& Baklava order in this little Turkish place... Outdoor sitting along w Turkish music is good for homesick Turkish girls...:)
Mariana BetancourtSeptember 12, 2010Best Baklava!! Also try Turkish Delights, all their sweets look amazing, have to come back more to try all of them
MeltemJanuary 2, 2015if you want to try Turkish breakfast, gulluoglu is not the right place to go! service is too slow and the food is so fat and not in the same taste of what we used to have! not recommend to anyone!
Karmun T.February 7, 2014Great desserts but I find it strange that they include gratuity on the bill for parties of 2...
Get Turkish tea - it goes well with pretty much everything. Really friendly staff here.
hafeez rajiSeptember 6, 2011friendly and nice, try the portobella mushroom salad and the turkish tea Read more
- Mustafa UmarusmanSeptember 12, 2010You have to try Menemen with Feta, it's the best!!do not forget the chestnut cake though!!
- MeltemJanuary 2, 2015the baklava does not taste the same i eat in Gulluoglu Turkey. it is very fatty and the taste of the butter is really bad! i do not recommen anyone to get baklava from here!
merve keciboynuzuSeptember 18, 2011Turkish breakfast plate is poor, nothing compare to Istanbul one. Tahinli corek is perfect.
