I have been coming to Taci's Beyti since 2013 and frequented it a lot when I lived in Brooklyn but…read morenow moving to Queens for the past few years I still make the trip over 2-3 times a year. The quality of their food has always been top notch and honestly is my favorite spot for a Turkish meal. Their hummus and basically all their skewers, kababs and grilled meats are simply amazing. Fast forward, I haven't gone to Taci's Beyti for over a year and I just recently went for our anniversary dinner over the weekend. Place still felt the same, so I ordered my hummus, mixed grill and the chicken kebab for the misses. When The entrees arrived, I was a bit disappointed. They seem to have changed what use to come with their main entrees. Gone is the bed of thinly sliced onions under your meats, so is the roasted pepper and also the roasted tomato. Three items I actually enjoyed having with my entree. They also changed the pita under the meats as well but they replaced it with a very sad salad instead, with no dressing or even a vinaigrette at that. Just plain dry leaves with some red onions. They also have two prices now, one for cash and one for credit, the cost has gone up (which I understand) but they've also cut the portions and what use to come with it. Yes the food is still good but after that last trip I am rethinking about ever going back. I am disappointed that either through choice, greed, or whatever they decided to cut back. Time to scout and try some other Turkish restaurants in the boroughs I suppose, and no I am not leaving a one star review, their food quality and taste hasn't changed. I am just very disappointed.

Not to mention that they raised all their kebab prices by about 2$ per stick they didn't add size , portions but prices went up .

The lamb and lulya kebabs were very good. As for the plov, I've had better, I've had worse. The liver cubes were also okay, not great. Their salmon dish with white sauce was very good too. Prices are amazing for these days.

I didn't know the area, but I was starving so decided to do a little loop around the block or so around the train station. I was the only customer to take a seat at the restaurant (although it looked like there was a robust takeout from the table in front on the sidewalk). Every table was set with a place setting and a welcoming setup. The gentleman doing the cooking walked me through my options and ended up preparing this, which I think had every ingredient possible! They were so kind and the food was delicious. I recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

This place has been around for like 20 years I think and I've been wanting to try it. Did not disappoint! Soon as you walk in, you're greeted-- could be by manager, server or even a patron!-- and welcomed to sit wherever you'd like (IF space is available). Menus are brought to you and you're promptly served a large flat bread, their signify soup (which I thought was lentil, but I may be wrong) and some salsa. And a couple lemon wedges. Pro-tip: eat with an open heart - squeeze the lemon in the soup to brighten it up, go ahead and dip the pita in the salsa, drink the soup right out of the bowl-- there aren't the "rules" of traditional western dining here. We ordered the chicken haneeth but asked for no rice, shish kabob, hummus and babaghanoush. The chicken was perfect- flavorful, not too tangy, and the meat was tender. By itself, I enjoyed the hummus more (between the two dips) but once we started eating with the entrees, I thought the babaganoush really came to life. We also squeezed some lemon on the dips to brighten them up. Yemeni hummus is more tahini-rich than some other variations, which I finds benefits from some lemon splash. Of course they gave us more pita when our mains arrived :) The manager was a really nice man! We felt welcomed and our business valued-- really was one of my favorite things about the restaurant. You can grab some traditional sweet tea at the counter after your meal.

I like the salad bar that has all the offering. The beef kofta was good, but a bit under seasoned as well as the chicken samosa. Beef kofta and lamb over rice tasted a bit healthier by using leaner meat, hence a nicer texture. The chicken tikka was a bit dry and under seasoned as well. I really enjoyed the rice and salad that went along with the meal. The lamb over rice was better tasting than the usually halal cart. I really enjoyed the sauce that was put on the side to go with my meal. I was a bit sad when the beef kofta and chicken tikka didn't come with bread. I will come back for healthier halal option. Also, it was a friendly service.

Many times in the evening this place packs it in. Luckily i came around 130pm and there was plenty of seating. Upon arrival, the waitress will bring over fresh pita bread and sliced pickles. The pita is extremely fresh. I woud recommend you order their fresh hummus. Its a perfect marriage of both. For lunch, we ordered the skewered beef, which is the softest, most flavorful morsels you can imagine. Apparently there is a special supplier of this extremely tender beef. Its amazing. If you are into beef, get the baby chicken on the skewer. Again, it is very tender and nicey seasoned bursting with flavor. To accompany these meats, you have an assortment of additions. This time, we got the french fries, very freah, and rhe mijadra. Its rice with lentils with carmelized onions. The onions give a burst of flavor to this dish. It is not inexpensive, however you will jot be disappointed and you will enjoy the food here!
