Great neighborhood Turkish spot! Been here several times and can't believe I hadn't reviewed them…read moreyet! Ambience is clean, open and bright with tasteful minimalist decor. Service is always spot on and personable here regardless if they are busy or not. Must orders here are the several varieties of fish, but for those who eat Americanized fish, they take the head and tail off but the fish fillets are not your perfectly squared of pieces. The fish is grilled to perfection and simply served with a side of either grilled veggie, yummy pilaf rice or French fries. The octopus stew is the most buttery and tender octopus you'll ever have and who can not forget their kabob selections whether you do the chicken or lamb! Stick with the mix grill plate for both though so you get to try a selection of them all. End the night with some hot Turkish black tea or string Turkish coffee with a sweet piece of baklavah or a digestive night cap of Raki mixed with a little water and you are good to go! Can't wait for my next dinner here!

Food is great and hearty. My dislike is towards the staff…read more Ordered the Black Sea drink that is like the equivalent of a Long Island Iced Tea but I got it with no iced and sour as hell. Asked the waiter for extra ice and a coke on the side only to be ignored and not get it at all. Either way two time experience here. First and last.

I went on a quiet Tuesday and basically had the place to myself. They even showed me around the back, which was pretty cool and made me appreciate the operation even more. I tried the lemon stuffed cabbage because I wanted something besides the usual gyro. Remember to always eat your vegetables! The decor is great for a date, great lighting. I found plenty of street parking. It is a place that clearly cares about what they serve.

Came with some friends for lunch. We all got various combinations of the mixed plate and an order of fried calamari. The calamari was lightly breaded in a flaky batter that brought out the flavors of the squid. Cooked to perfection it was tender, not chewy. As for the mixed platters, we had lamb gyro and the souvlakis as well as the lemon potatoes and fries. The lemon potatoes were perfectly seasoned and had a nice tartness to each bite. The lamb gyro was tender. The chicken souvlaki being moist and flavorful is the barometer for the level of detail that goes into every plate served.

Such a great spot for lunch or dinner especially when you're craving Greek food…read more I usually go for the falafel and salad but my husband is more of a meat guy so he usually gets one of the brazino or gyros. We have never been disappointed with the service or food because we were always treated with the utmost respect every time we come here. Food is always fresh and made to our liking. Summer there's always some sort of outside seating but winter time we prefer to stay warm inside. Not a lot of tables but definitely able to get a table if you come early enough.

My Second favorite (Kosher) pizza joint in N.Y. is Mezze's…read more Their regular slice is solid. And Just the other week, I consumed a mock pepperoni slice. Though never tasting pepperoni before, I enjoyed the slice. A partner of mine had a spicy Sicilian slice. The first time she ordered it she loved it. But they seem to have changed it since, and she said it was never like the first time. Then we found out that different people make it in different ways at this establishment. The next time we ate at mezze's together they said they could put a spicy sauce on top of the slice. It was not the same. She ordered it for a third time when we went out to eat next and she said it was not the same. Mezze's whatever you did the first time with that slice let me suggest you go back to that cuz it worked. Thanks for the tasty food!

I guess it's unique that you can order sushi & pizza at same time. I heard that the whole block including Mezze will be closing due to the whole block being demolished and converted into another new high rise.

I love how the restaurant is all about culture and shows tremendous diversity. It felt like I was in another world. The steaks were to die for and the kebabs were amazing. The salads I can't even tell you how good they were, we of course, had to order to go. Prices are fair and overall I totally rate this 10 out of 10. It's great for dates parties or just a regular outing. And on top of that, they also do catering, which is so good to hear.

Went inside, and it felt like I was transported elsewhere and not in NYC. I liked how the entire place was decorated. There's room to move around and private sections that are closed off with curtains. Food wise, there were two menus, one that was a tablet which had more options and this other large black book. I suggest looking at the tablet. It took a while to decide what we wanted as there were so many sections. I chose the two soups, which were the dumpling langman soup and the shurpa soup. One tasted like chicken soup but with lamb instead. However, both were pretty small. For the table, we got the Manti soup dumplings, which had minced beef inside with soup inside too and beware it is hot. Also, we got the shepherds salad, but they don't have feta cheese, so we got it without that one ingredient. I would suggest this restaurant if you're interested in trying something unique such as Uzbek food.
