    It WAS the Kunefe but we ate it so fast I didn't get A picture

    Really nice inside, the food was fresh and delicious very flavorful; the dessert especially was fantastic. I had trouble picking the menu looked so good. Can't wait to come back!!

    Stopped in a little after 1pm on a Saturday. We were the only table until one other couple came in closer to 1:45. The service was good, she was very kind, brought Turkish tea after the meal, and even packed our leftovers for us at the table. We started with the CIGAR BOREK, very delicious. Then we shared the KUSBASILI PIE and MANTI. Both were good. If we lived closer, we would probably return.

    Beautiful restaurant. A date night restaurant. The food came out slow, so allow extra time, perfect for chatting and relaxing. The food was delicious. Cooked for and by people of the region. The lamb kebab was excellent. No rushing of the grilling process resulted in a not jerky like exterior. Anatolia special was nicely prepared and paired. Everything went well together.

    Loved it here! Just happened to stop for lunch before catching a flight to JFK. The food was all delicious, the options were so many and the portions were very good. We tried a salad, the mixed maze plate, and the lamb chops. All was phenomenal. The service was even better, they were all kind and thoughtful Fun ambiance too. Love it here and will definitely stop again before my next flight!

    On a whim, stopped here for lunch. On the outside, the restaurant is unassuming, but the inside is very plush and the decor is cool without being ostentatious. All of this is nothing, though, compared to the service. Alice was as kind as could be and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The food was second to none, and although I know it's not for everyone, I would suggest the Calf Liver appetizer. The grape leaves were great as well as the bread and tzatziki. We also had cheese wrapped in phyllo which was delightful. For the entree I had the lamb combination plate with bulgur. Excellent! Finished the meal with, of course, Turkish coffee. Try this place out - you won't regret it.

    We went on a rainy Saturday afternoon and waited a few minutes to be seated. No one was standing by the door when we first came in. Our dishes came out fast and even the gratis Turkish bread was really good. The lamb andana was kind of salty and gamey. I highly recommend the mixed appetizer. We were also given complimentary Turkish tea and baklava. The leftovers didn't warm up well so definitely best to eat the meal right away.

    DO NOT GO HERE! The staff discriminated against us because our party of friends included our Black friend and our LGBTQ+ friend. Why do I say this? Because I was here a little over a week ago (all party members were South Asian) and received amazing service. My best friend (South Asian) also came here with her family and friends (South Asian) in the past and received great service. We were both shocked at the horrible service we received today, when our party was comprised of South Asians as well as our Black friend and our LGBTQ+ friend, both of whom received subtle looks from patrons and staff alike. We made reservations for a party of 5 and were seated quickly. The waitress came over AFTER we had to flag her down but we chalked it up to them being a bit busy. We ordered an appetizer and entrees, and waited for OVER AN HOUR for our appetizer, which never came. The appetizer was a mixed app of hummus, babaganoush, pita, and other cold dips, which should not have taken OVER AN HOUR to bring out. The waitress who took our order never checked up on us or offered an explanation for why we hadn't received any food, and the one we did manage to flag down (AFTER AN HOUR) seemed less than interested in helping us and gave an attitude. We spoke to her about the appetizer and waited an additional 10 minutes with no appetizer. Overall, it was horrible service from staff that didn't seem to care about service because gratuity is automatically included in the bill. They didn't seem to care about serving our party overall and ignored us for the most part, only coming over when we flagged them down. The horrible service coupled with the looks my LGBTQ+ and Black friends received are enough to make me never come back here or ever recommend it to anyone because of their discrimination!

    Apparently everyone's known about this place but me. Hope it stays a little hidden. We were able…read moreto walk in towards the end of dinner service on a Saturday and get a table for two without a reservation. Nothing but great things to say. Walk in, the open kitchen to your left (seems like a brilliant use of the space layout they had to work with). Meet the smiling host, then straight into the dining room. The dining room is elevated for North Bellmore, white tablecloths, lighting, fixtures, plates, silverware - they spent a few bucks making it nice. We ordered too much, which happens when eating late after skipping lunch.... Apps: 1. The grilled halloumi was great - sometimes it can get rubbery - not here. They were served over thick sliced roasted tomatoes which held up just enough to get some grill marks as well. I could have done without the glaze, but it was still ok. 2. Tuna tartare - deep red tuna, diced, over avocado - well plated, good dish. 3. Couldn't decide on a grilled fish app, so went with the grilled seafood sampler - amazing flavor on it all - calamari, shrimp and octopus all tender and kissed just enough on that open flame. Knife work on the garnishes and plating was done by someone who cares. Diced peppers under the calamari must've been quickly pickled - they had great flavor and kept just enough crunch to make a great dish even better. For entrees - went with the grilled salmon and ribeye steak... couldn't believe it was as good as it was for the price. Salmon was delicious, juicy, and even the skin on (plated skin down) was perfect - which I can never do, especially on a grill. The ribeye was delicious - lots of rib-cap, perfectly medium-rare, even on a hot plate, and I could swear the chef might have predicted cook time to put the more rare side plate down to make it become a medium steak by the time it hit the table. And the fries..... ohhhhhh the fries..... I'm a sucker for french fries when done right, and I ordered these fries and apps alone, it would have been a perfect meal.... perfectly hot, crispy, and plentiful. Stuffed, packed up some of the entrees for leftovers, and skipped desert and coffee - it was late. But will deffff be back and can't wait to try some of the offerings on that menu. Oh and here's a tip... if you park facing the restaurant at night, turn off your headlights as you're pulling into the spot. Was it a particularly flawless night, or is this the norm? Will report back after going back - will deff be back.

We already knew what we wanted for our entrées but decided to start with a few appetizers. Based on her recommendation, we tried the Mantoo (steamed chicken dumplings) and Kashk Badenjan (eggplant dish). Both were flavorful and enjoyed by everyone at the table. For our main course, we ordered the Mixed Grill Combination, which included lamb tikka, lamb kebab, jujeh, and chicken tikka. The portion was generous--perfect for sharing and even better for leftovers. It happened to be my aunts birthday and we were offered a traditional Afghan dessert, Firnee. It was a pudding topped with pistachios. It was creamy and sweet. Such a thoughtful gesture. By the way they also offer BYOB, which is a nice bonus. Overall, great food, friendly service, and an enjoyable dining experience.

The cocktail drinks took a long time to arrive, and they arrived after the appetizers--and were incorrect, so we had to send them back. The main dishes took another hour to be served. I have pictures with timestamps showing the delay, with over an hour between the appetizers and the main courses. During this time, we asked for extra bread and clarification, but the servers seemed unsure and kept pointing at each other, which was frustrating. Later, a manager explained that the delay was due to our ordering moussaka, but if the kitchen was overwhelmed, they could have let us know. We're reasonable guests, but their explanations felt lacking. Overall, the service was quite poor. To make matters worse, they added a 20% gratuity charge--something we usually tip pretty well even though service is too bad to tip. But I don't expect to tip 20% to this horrible service. We really enjoy the food here, but unfortunately, due to the experience, we don't think we'll be returning.
