I came here with my mom and sister to celebrate Mother's Day and the service was amazing. My server Arabella was so attentive in the busy environment I was very impressed. I loved how everyone was making sure our tables were clean and our waters were filled. I really loved the server diaa( she did tell me she wasn't a server, but I'm unsure of what to call her), but she made my younger sister feel so happy and gave her a compliment that she kept talking abt on the way home!! I love this place and will definitely be coming back during the summer. The food was amazing.!!!! read more

I recently visited Lokum Restaurant. Our server, Ala Bella, was great--very friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the meal. The food was okay, nothing particularly memorable but decent overall. Unfortunately, the experience at the entrance wasn't the best. The hostess had a noticeably negative attitude, which didn't make for a very welcoming first impression. Hopefully this is something the management can improve, because good hospitality starts at the door. 5 stars for the bartender Alex. bartender: "Alex, the bartender at Lokum Restaurant & Bar, was excellent. He was very professional, attentive, and made sure everyone at the bar was taken care of. His service was friendly and efficient, and he created a welcoming atmosphere. Great experience thanks to his hospitality." read more

Lokum definitely scores high on ambiance and service; it's clear they spent real money creating a sleek, comfortable space. The tall, heavy glasses gave off a refined touch that fit the setting perfectly. I ordered the lamb chops medium and got them well-done; no red anywhere. Luckily, they weren't dry and still tasted fine, just not the juicy medium I was hoping for. The mushroom sauce had some flavor to it, so that helped. The side, on the other hand, was confusing: long, crispy carrot strips that looked like potato chips but didn't taste nearly as good. At roughly $50 after tax and tip, the portion of three medium-sized chops felt a bit light, especially since I later saw photos on Yelp showing some plates with four. Between the off temperature, the odd side, and the light portion, I actually left and grabbed another meal afterward. Great vibe, friendly staff, decent food; but for the price, I expected a bit more substance. read more

Celebrated my wife's birthday here. All in all an excellent experience. Reservations were easy and they easily accommodated a larger party. Great opportunity to take photos with cool decor and backgrounds. Everyone was happy with food. And with drinks. Service was top notch and surprisingly final bill was reasonable. As far as food - lamb chops were excellent. Pasta with steak was quite large and tasty. Seafood pasta was excellent. For me best dish was pistachio Adana kebab - visually stunning, with layered flavors and sauces poured table side Also enjoyed all the drinks. Especially bourbon with flaming cinnamon stick (actual fire made the drink warm and added nice smokiness). Emmons Ave features many restaurants but Lokum for me stands out due to food quality and ambiance read more

Came here a while back for an event. It's way far out in Brooklyn but the water view is awesome, the decor is lovely and staff I interacted with were friendly enough. The bathroom was also inclusive and had a nice sign to indicate it was unisex and to keep it clean. I can't speak to food since I believe I only had water and attended for an event but the comedians varied from decent to awesome and the fashion show was very nice. I believe there was also live music and I have no complaints there. It's way off my beaten path but if you're in the area, it's worth a visit even if just to see the sunset from the outdoor patio area. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! Was here with 15 people the other day and the service was phenomenal. The waitress we had was so sweet and she had a great attitude the whole time. This spot is super cute and chic and has a lot of room and photo ops. The food is through the roof, I have never had every single dish that tasted so good. Apps: The dips with flatbread: I love how they displayed the dips, beautiful and each dip tasted amazing. The eggplant and guac was definitely top tier Octopus: was so good and fresh, the texture taste was just perfect. Must try Meatballs: it was flavorful and perfect amount of sauce and cheese Adana Kebab with pistachio: honestly got to say this is so unique. The adana kebab was wrapped inside like a tortilla wrab with sauce over it. Steak: LOVE THE STEAK, literally melted in your mouth. I would go here everyday if I could. Best place ever and the sangria is the best as well. read more

My friend and I booked a table at Lokum. From the first minute and throughout our dinner, it was a positive experience. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess. She helped us choose a table. Then we chose dishes from the menu. From the appetizers, we chose grilled octopus, zucchini pancakes. The main courses were lamb chops and Kashkaval Kofte. Everything was very fresh and tasty. We ordered two cocktails: lychee martini and passion Margarita. The choice did not disappoint us. For dessert, we opted for Turkish Kunefe and Turkish coffee. The service was at a high level. The waitresses were very nice and attentive. I would also like to note that we really liked the interior of the restaurant. The hall is spacious and well decorated. The furniture is comfortable and modern. I will definitely come here again. I would especially like to come in the warm season to dine on the terrace overlooking the bay. read more

This restaurant is disappointing!!! We went there for girls night for celebration. The restaurant was empty and we asked DJ GIRL to play Turkish songs we even tipped her but she refuse to play it. Kept playing russian songs even though it was only us there. Google shows that they close at 2 AM however we got our check given to us at 12. I do not recommend this place for partying specially with that DJ girl! read more

Lokum - Mix grill. - Salad Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came here with the family for Mother's Day and results were very mixed. The good: Service - waitstaff was very pleasant, attentive and patient. No complaints there, A+ Decor - very nice and festive. Place was well decorated and had a nice atmosphere. Tea/coffee service: fantastic. Delicious Turkish tea served in traditional small cups. Solid espresso drinks. Enjoyed those very much. Bread service - we got fresh warm pita bread for the table which was great. The bad: Food - the lamb chop dish was terrible. Three tiny chops served with bland overcooked "risotto", without any other sides or sauce, for $38. Complete ripoff. Shakshuka was over-salted, too acidic and served with undercooked eggs. Had to eat it with tons of pita to balance out the salt and acid. The menu - this was apparently an issue just for Mother's Day but they removed all the Turkish dishes from their brunch menu I wanted to try and, instead, had a pre fixe with burgers, omelettes and eggs Benedict that I can get everywhere else. So that was disappointing. Will still probably come back as I'm curious to try the Turkish dishes on their regular brunch menu, which hopefully will taste better than what they served this time. read more

Horrible place. There was a hair in my food it was blonde hair I know it was not mine. All I wanted was a clean dish back the manager called the owner and he refused to help us. Not only that he was extremely rude to us and very nasty. I think it's because he saw my Jewish star because we were very nice to him. And the food was not good. Save yourself from this place ANTISEMITIC OWNER read more

Save yourself from this place. Nobody speaks English including the manager and the owner. The owner is disrespectful and nasty.
