Based on the recommendation of my chiropractor, I had lunch here earlier this week. Our server from…read moreMoldavia was friendly and attentive and suggested I try their most popular dish - the lamb lulya kebab which is ground lamb that is not overly spiced to allow one to taste the meat. It is served with rice and I found it to be a lighter than its Turkish equivalent. It was served with rice. We also ordered Turkish bread that was served warm. The dining area is comfortable and welcoming. Because this restaurant is set back from the Coney Island Avenue next to a liquor store it is easy to miss - but don't - it's excellent!

The interior is cute and they have a parking lot in the front…read more The servers were warm and eager to answer any questions I had about an unfamiliar menu. I ordered the Journey to Baku salad, the Turkish bread, and the Guru Khingal. The salad needed a pinch of salt, but there was a shaker on the table and with that addition, it was a decent refreshing appetizer. It's sort of a spread so I would recommend ordering some bread to eat with it. The bread came out steaming hot and smelling amazing. It was soft and fluffy on the inside and delicious. I took the extra home and ate it all immediately when I got there. Delicious bread. The Guru Khingal is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in New York City. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, as I have never eaten this type of food before. The tender, handcut pasta seems to be layered with flavorful lamb fat like the most decadent possible buttered noodles and the ground lamb topping is rich and perfectly seasoned. The yogurt sauce gives the dish balance. It's a fairly large portion that could easily be shared between two. I highly recommend this spot, the glowing reviews are not exaggerating at all. I often like to try new and unusual restaurants, and sometimes I enjoy them mostly for the novelty. That was not the case at Village Cafe. My meal here was delicious and I am eager to return, even with the 75 minute commute from north Brooklyn.

We were given a nice clean table that four people could sit on. We ordered the Mixed Grill that cost $103 but according to the menu it's good for three people. It had all the items on the menu (lamb, beef, chicken, fish, sausages etc). We got fresh garden salad, well made white rice and the grill was delicious. It was so good that we ate half of it and half of it we had to take it home. The bill was very pricey around $155 but adding the ambiance, customer service, food and clean bathrooms makes this place worth it. It's great for families and hang out with friends. Highly Recommend.

While visiting Industry City, I stopped by Kotti Berliner Döner Kebab and I'm glad I did. I ordered…read morethe chicken pita sandwich -- it was delicious and the portion was huge. I couldn't even finish it all by myself! The flavor reminded me of döner kebab from my home country. I'm not from Germany, but the taste felt very authentic and close to Turkish-style döner, which made it even more special for me. The service was quick and friendly, which made the experience even better. Just note that the ambiance is more of a takeout setup -- there's no real sit-down area, so you'll need to find a spot nearby to enjoy your meal. I'm looking forward to going back to try more options from their menu. Highly recommended if you're in the area and craving a big, flavorful meal.

Definitely try this restaurant next time you're in the FiDi. People throw around the phrase "hidden gem" all of the time, but this is a real, true hidden gem.
