An absolutely wonderful dining experience at Kyma!…read more Kyma is a beautiful restaurant with an elegant and welcoming atmosphere, but what truly stood out to us was the excellent service and amazing variety of food. We were invited for lunch, and for the three of us, we enjoyed 8 different appetizers along with a main course. Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. There was such a wonderful variety that we were more than full by the end of the meal! The staff was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. If you're looking for a beautiful place with great food, generous variety, and wonderful service, I highly recommend Kyma without a doubt! We had a fantastic time and would definitely come back.

We all loved the highly recommended Kyma Chips appetizer, as well as the individual dishes ordered. Staff was gracious, but intermittently friendly. We did have to wait a bit for our main courses, as well as for our check. However, it's better to wait then be rushed.

We went the first time for restaurant week and ordered: Zucchini chips: large portion, was a good start! could have used salt but that's easy enough for us to add. Whipped ricotta crostini: perhaps because of restaurant week the portion was much smaller than in photos and of the 3 crostini, 1 was badly burnt and the other 2 must have sat in the pass for a bit too long as they were soggy. Branzino: this was an uncharge on the restaurant week menu, the fish portion was large and cooked well but it was very unseasoned, there was no carb, just over broccolini, which was surprising there wasn't a grain, potato, anything given the upcharge. Seafood linguini: this was the most disappointing because it doesn't have a description on the menu but the name matches the 'linguine al mare'. It's an identical dish except they omit the scallops without noting that on the menu, it was very bland, didn't come with lemon, were 2 slices of pickled chili which were great when you got them but more were needed. Personally, I would go for drinks and vibes - albeit the drinks are expensive, cocktails are $19.

But don't let that fool you. They serve some of the best Turkish food you'll ever have, hands down! Their labneh and fresh bread are absolutely amazing. The chicken kebab with brown rice is one of my favorites -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Honestly, I don't think there's anything on the menu that isn't good. I personally prefer the chicken dishes, and they never disappoint. A true hidden gem! I love the service Merve is such a sweetheart!

The interior is definitely a highlight--fancy, clean,…read moreand comfortable--and the service was kind and attentive, which made the visit feel welcoming. But the food didn't really live up to the setting or price point. Considering there are quite a few Persian restaurants on Long Island, the dishes felt underwhelming in comparison, especially the meats, which came across as lacking depth of flavor and didn't stand out the way you'd expect given the cost. One thing I also found annoying was how the rice was served in a separate bowl next to the kebab--it made the whole thing kind of awkward to eat and less enjoyable than if it had been plated together. That said, the ice cream was actually really good and probably the strongest part of the meal--smooth, rich, and worth ordering on its own. Overall, it's a place with a nice atmosphere and solid service, but the food doesn't fully justify the hype or pricing, aside from the desserts.

Love the food. Never disappointed with any dish. All was perfect and service was on par.

When we sat down, we were served pita and tzatziki sauce. It was good! We ordered off of the lunch special. I had the Kubideh Kabab and my friend had the boneless chicken Kabab. The kababs were not dried out and they were very tasty, well seasoned, and not salty! With the lunch special, you get a choice of lentil soup or salad. I went with the soup and I'm glad I did! It really hit the spot since I haven't been feeling very good lately. We shared an appetizer of falafels. To be honest, it was a bit too dry for me. The service was great and our waitress was very nice. She gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and order. The restaurant is quiet overall but there isn't a lot of seating available. There's a shared parking lot but it's crowded. The food was amazing but I don't like looking for parking when I'm hungry. Just kidding. I'll stop by again!
