KirsyMay 18, 2014Amazing deal for two ppl. 1 bottle of good Turkish wine with all the Turkish appetizers (eggplant, hummus, etc) for $35! Get the Yogurlu lamb n chicken! Great spot for dates!
AlexandraAugust 28, 2017The vegetarian white bean salad was delicious! They made it vegan for me by leaving out the egg.
Abi SubramanianNovember 15, 2019Great neighborhood find. Food was terrific. Decor/atmosphere is great and don’t miss the dessert
Vanessa RojasAugust 7, 2010Quiet cute place with families & couples and waay better food than anything on 2nd ave. White bean salad, zucchini pancakes, shrimp casserole, rice pudding- delish meal for 2!
Andrew CFebruary 18, 2019Slightly disappointing... entrees all sounded good on menu but in reality, they were not + apps and desserts were much better, even if small + the staff seemed inexperienced, but all were attentive!!
Zach KubinMarch 8, 2012The meze is super fresh and the staff couldn't be nicer. A great restaurant all around.
Brett FrommeDecember 19, 2015Very high noise level and tight tables. Good Turkish food but a mediocre wine selection. Seems to be popular with an older UES crowd.
Fiona Aboud SingerMay 28, 2011shredded lamb dish is to die for, humus, turkish salad are also amazing!!!
Andrew CohenOctober 3, 2011First timer's tip: Don't tip the Turkish coffee back too far unless you want to end up eating the grounds.
Onur OzgodeNovember 2, 2014Mediocre entrees, decent meze & desert. Unless you are into gyro-tasting kebabs at a Greek diner, stay away.

"Everything was delicious. Entrees are large enough to share. The manti (Turkish dumplings) and the meat platter were great. For dessert, try the kunefe."
