    Grabbed a quick sandwich here the other day while galavanting through Manhattan. My coworkers and I used to sometimes frequent this establishment for lunch back when I used to work in the area. It's good to see not a lot has changed, the vibe is still very airy and welcoming. The Turkish bread definitely tastes fresh. The sauces given on the side could be thicker or tastier. I don't like how watery the red sauce is. The doner meat is good but it could definitely use a little bit more seasoning. I noticed they put a lot more meat in the sandwich now which I really do appreciate. A creamy sauce inside the sandwich like ranch or white sauce would elevate this sandwich so much. Just a little something to give it some pizzazz.. if you know you know.

    Falafel sandwich
    Leah S.

    Really impressed with the falafel sandwich.Fantastic and a good amount of food. The restaurant is located in the corner of 6th and W 24rd street. Definitely will be back to try shish kebab and other specialties.

    Falafel
    Alysia B.

    Good food. Friendly service. Falafel are giant and not dry. Hummus was smooth and delicious. I had a grilled chicken pita and my boyfriend had a mixed pita the meat was excellent! Fries were homemade too, bonus! Chefs kiss!

    Got the falafel with Turkish bread and it was super good, wasn't dry at all, and was overall quite filling. Came across this place when I was looking for food one night and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place because it really satisfied my hunger. Inside was clean, they have many options to choose from as well as desserts. We had quite a large order and so it took a bit longer

    I came here a while back on a random summer night for some late night eats. I got a shawarma/gyro sandwich to go as they were in the process of closing for the night. It was pretty tasty and flavorful and fairly filling. I would definitely try the other items on the menu. As someone who has tried a fair share of shawarma places in the city from popular places like Mamouns in the Village to the lesser known places that are out in Bayridge like Al Aqsa, I would say it ranks up there for Midtown. As others have said, the space itself is fairly casual and the service was pretty quick.

    Chicken and lamb platter
    Nehal A.

    Stopped by to get a take out platter for lunch. The store was super clean, not a lot of people. This time the service was much faster. We had to wait less than 10 minutes compared 20-25 minutes at other times. The chicken and lamb gyro mix was really good with tasty side of salad. I still do not like the thick rice they use.

    Turkish drinks

    It's a great little place to eat some Turkish food it was our first time here in New York and first Turkish Restaurant we tried we loved it we got some lentil Soup some chicken sandwich and some appetizer not everything was all well think everyone should try this place

    a plate of food
    Adri R.

    An absolutely delicious Turkish meal. Right in the heart of Flatiron and NoMad. Walk in and take a look at the menu go to the register in order. They will call our your #. Extremely fast process to get your fresh Turkish delight.

    Large Lamb Shish Kebab Plate
    Lynn P.

    You're walking down 6th in the middle of the night and there's a fragrant smell of deliciousness lingering from the corner of 23rd. Walk to the back to the nicest lady that takes your order and provides easy suggestions from the menu. I ordered the Lamb Shish Kebabs. S'GOOD. It took 15 min to wait for, but whew! Worth the wait. The lamb is so good, like melts in your mouth good. The salad tastes fresh. The rice is bomb. I'm not usually a fan of hot sauce but all the sauce they provide with the meal is excellent. Definitely would recommend for a late night bite!

    Chicken Breast Kebab
    Wendy L.

    Good casual spot for the food. Good service. Chicken Breast Kebab: Got the large size which I shared with my mom, and it was tender. Lacking a bit of flavor, so the side sauces helped to bring out the spices. Had a side salad which made it a more balanced meal. I'd say that this is a solid place with decent price. It however reminds me a bit of halal food I'd get from the food trucks, which is cheaper and tastes similar. Overall still good, but might not come back again due to that.

For entrees, I got the tava kosi, which is an egg dish with two pieces of lamb. Honestly I didn't love it. It's a LOT of egg. The lamb pieces were delicious, but I was already so full that I could only have one piece. I wish it had a bit less egg and a bit more other things, but I know this is their national dish. My husband got the qofte shari. It was perfect. Cooked so well, the meat was spiced uniquely, even the fries were great. I think I just ordered the wrong thing! I would seriously love to return and try another clay dish. We finished off the meal with Albanian coffee, which was like Turkish coffee, but smoother and better. All in all, left so happy and full. Service was so attentive, too. Go here for a unique meal in the cutest little restaurant.

The staff was extremely warm, kind and welcoming and a special shoutout to Irem who was amazing, gave us some great recommendations and took care of us throughout. I went for the $39 prix fixe brunch which is honestly such a great deal and comes with quite a spread. I had the muhammara, hummus, shakshuka and dessert and thoroughly enjoyed my coffee too. We also ordered the tuna Niçoise salad, which is by far the best I have had ever. One of my friends was accidentally served the wrong order and they immediately replaced it with the right one and made her meal completely complimentary, which was such a nice gesture and something we really appreciated. We also loved that nobody was rushing us and we could just sit, chat and enjoy our brunch. Great food, beautiful ambiance, wonderful hospitality and even the restrooms were spotless and very well maintained. Overall such a positive experience and easily a 5/5 for me.

We were lead upstairs to a table. There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.

The birthday coupons are what had brought me in every year, but even though they stopped during Covid, I still enjoy visiting. My go-to dish is the Iskender Kebab - delicious slices of lamb with tomato sauce and yogurt over baked pita bread. I also enjoy the combination platter with dips - the baba ghanoush is delicious. The atmosphere is classy but down-to-earth. The cocktails are tasty. The service can be slow, but it means we are never rushed out. The prices are mid-high, but commensurate with the quality of food. I recently came with a large group, including kids. Service was welcoming despite the chaos. Our bread was frequently replenished and our bottles of wine poured.

Then the food itself arrived and was really delicious and well presented, just look at those kebab plates and dips! They also gave our group free baklava at the end I think just because they felt a little bad they had to rush us, which wasn't even their fault and was super appreciated. Also, the interior decoration is fantastic. The restaurant feels super classy and elegant. Great vibes for a date, a business dinner, or just a fancy dinner. Overall, easy 5 stars. Great food and amazing service. Oh and the wine was delicious too.
