    Came here with my son for breakfast, never been here before. Honestly expected more from it. 3 stars because cappuccino and my son's hot chocolate were good. My son had a croissant, I had something with cheese forgot what it's called, and then asked for a piece of kadayif and unfortunately everything was stale so that was disappointing. Don't think I'll be back.

    I'd be curious if anyone could explain to me the phenomenon of Turkish establishments proliferating in otherwise Russain/Georgian/Uzbek Brighton Beach. Is this to cater to Russians' nostalgia for vacations on the Black Sea? In any case, despite this being a branch of a much-trusted brand (see my 5 star review for the Cliffside Park location), the baklava looked rather stale on a recent visit, and the su boreki that we tried was decidedly mediocre. My saddest moment here was when I asked if they had sahlep, my favorite Turkish sweet hot beverage, which is served at the Cliffside Park branch. But the Russian server interpreted my question as regarding "salad," and had clearly never heard of the famous drink.

    It's good portion and hot chocolate was okay. I can't eat, like 7 pieces, now I know :-). I gave $5 tips (I just believe, that you gotta earn tips). My stomach was feeling alright, -- I didn't get poisoned. I have waited for an hour, it was my asap order for yesterday, now I know. :))

    Came here again after 2 years. I am reviewing the desserts, not the ambiance. I personally like my baklava more soaked, and not too sweet, and this place had what I like. It so has other lesser known varieties of desert, rice pudding two types for example. Will I travel here just for baklava? No. But definitely will stop by and grab some to eat and for take away. Dough/nuts/sugar ratio is excellent, and service is friendly (you are in Brighton Beach afterall). Someone asked why Turkish places in Brighton Beach. Yes, Turkey bring regular destination now for post-Soviet tourism, but also jobs and even property ownership. For Central Asians, Turkish food and desserts is a standard fare now back home.

    Didn't try the Baklava. It was breakfast and coffee for me this morning. This place is my larger inside than it appears on the outside. It's a Turkish establishment from Turkey founded in 1871. This location has been around for about 20 years. Situated a block away from the Q train exit (in the northside), it is worth going just for their Turkish coffee. I got the double. It was the perfect temperature, consistency and taste. I ordered 3 eggs breakfast. It can with sliced cucumbers and some tomatoes and Turkish bread. Total cost was $9.25! I then purchased a few baked goods to go. I forget what the are called but it looks like a twisted pinwheel flakey pastry on the outside and I got one meat filled and the other spinach. I haven't tried the latter yet, but the ground beef filled one was not saucy at all or fatty. It has some nice spices and a gReat tie-over snack until lunch.

    I'm in love with Gulluoglu! Best Turkish coffee, deserts, and service from beautiful Turks! I could stay here all day. This cafe makes a trip to Brighton Beach worth it.

    I travel all the way from Manhattan for their walnut baklava! It's that good...while I stick to the classics, everything here good. The Turkish coffe I can do without.

    So delighted to stumble upon this at Brighton Beach. This brought up such sweet memories from the Gulluoglu in Istanbul. However, in both ambiance and quality, I think this location definitely falls short to the mother location in Karakoy. Since I'm comparing this place to the original baklava joint in Istanbul, this is miles apart in quality. I don't think the baklava looked very fresh or was displayed beautifully... and it seems like they may have been sitting out for a while while the Karakoy location had them glistening under display. I ordered the su boregi which brought back great memories (*tears*) and I know they serve kunefe after asking which I would totally get the next time! Takes 15 minutes to prepare. Guy behind the counter was very nice. Very chill, quiet and calm in the midst of busy Brighton Beach.

When we arrived, we were surprised to see that it was a more formal setting as we were looking for something more of a quick takeout type of place. The restaurant is very nice, it has two dining room rooms and sit down service only for the dining rooms. We were approached immediately and sat down at a table by the window. When we explain to the waitress what we were looking for she let us know that we would be able to order gyros or wraps. We ordered two chicken wraps, and one lamb wrap, as well as lamacune. The wraps came with french fries, they were tasty and they came with a white yogurt sauce on the side. The Turkish pizza (lamacune) was delicious, each order has three pieces. The waitress brought us, complementary, hummus and yogurt sauce along with their fresh bread as a starter. Overall, the experience was good and I would go back to this restaurant if I am in the area.

The gyro meat was soft and tasty, rice was seasoned and fluffy. The pickled veggies were delicious and perfect to cut down on the heaviness of the meal.

Food was okay - I was left unimpressed and still hungry as it was mostly bones - a bit disappointing at a price for over $30 which is more than enough for one person to spend during lunch for himself without a drink. At least the pita bread was good - even though it's Israeli-style instead of Syrian. This Mizrahi (Syrian) Jewish Glatt kosher establishment is unique in New York, so I wanted to try it - but the offerings were a bit skimpy and bland for the price. Lamb spare ribs should come with a side, but none came. And I wasn't asked if I wanted any. Service is an additional issue here. When I went to the bathroom and then left, one worker immediately rushed into the bathroom only to... turn off the lights. Felt a little stingy, especially when the prices of the menu are a bit high for what it is. Had to call someone over multiple times. It's a family-and-friend business and they're often chatting with each other more than with the customers, so I think they're lacking somewhat in the hospitality front. There's a lot of restaurants around and until they seriously start showing what true Middle Eastern hospitality is like to differentiate their restaurant from others, I don't think they're going to do well in the long term. Maybe they've strayed too far from their Syrian roots.
