Stopped in for Restaurant Week with a few friends. Since it was a beautiful evening, the place was already packed with people when we arrived for our reservation. We waited a few minutes for our table, but were seated in a back area away from the hustle and bustle. We ordered drinks to start from their Rose specials list. I had the Spritz, which was on the sweeter side, but very tasty. For dinner, I went with the Lamb Adana Roll and Lobster Ravioli. Both were excellent and not as heavy as i expected. I left feeling full, but not overly so. For dessert everyone got a duo of baklava and chocolate mousse. Not bad, but not my favorite part of the meal. Ambience was bustling/on the loud side. They have a large outdoor space and full bar inside, that attracts a lot of people for drinks. The restaurant portion isn't huge, so I'd say the majority of people are here for the drinking. The service was the weak point for me here. Our server was nice, but not overly attentive. My friend noticed another table with some fun looking drinks, when she asked the waitress what type of drink they have, she responded "oh I don't know" and didn't bother to ask anyone for her. She also lost one of our credit cards on the floor when our bill was returned (luckily it was found before someone could pick it up and walk out with it). We felt rushed at the beginning to order. Once we did, the food was paced too quickly. The entree came as soon as the appetizers were removed from our table, which I'm never a fan of. I always prefer a little time to digest and prepare for the next course. Overall, the food was the saving grace for me here. The ambience and service weren't exceptional, but I would recommend this spot if you're looking to do after work drinks and some light bites outside! read more

Mediocre food and drinks. Tried two different cocktails, both were bland. Giving an additional star only because they were kind enough to remove the second drink from the tab. Great space and location but could be improved so much more on many levels. Doesn't do justice to Turkish food. read more

Mediocre food at best , asked for salt and pepper bcs food was very under seasoned and they brought paper packets like I was at McDonald's . If you are having brunch for $125 everything should have been executed a bit better . Chicken was dry like it was cooked hours before , octopus was slimy , salad tasted as if it was older and not fresh . Really really disappointed in a place that looks so nice . read more

My absolute favourite restaurant in soho! My coworkers and I come here every Friday for happy hour ! Get the cucumber cooler

Very confused with the reviews for this place. It was the worst service I've had in New York and they weren't even busy.. the food was not good and very overpriced for what you got. Cocktails were watery and came after we were done with appetizers.. will not go back. read more

I enjoyed my blood orange margarita. The Scottish salmon with asparagus was good but a tad overpriced. My main complaints were the refusal to give separate checks (there were 5 of us) and the refusal to substitute the French fries which came with one of my dining companions steak. read more

I went for bottomless brunch with 2 friends- we had a reservation for noon and had no problem. Surprisingly, the restaurant was empty but it was the first cold/gloomy day of the cold season so that might have something to do with it. For bottomless, you are able to try the different drink options! My personal favorite was the apricot bellini! The apricot margarita was a little sweet for me though. Our table preferred the bellini so the waitress was nice and just gave us a pitcher so we didn't have to wait on refills. The food was delicious! We ordered the French toast, shakshuka eggs, and salmon eggs benedict- we were part of the clean plate club! highly recommend this place! Great location, good vibes, and great service. (The sun also came out and we were able to enjoy drinks outside on the patio- cute little lounge area) read more

Food was excellant, came out fast, blackened salmon was moist, dip sampler was great starter, could use more chips to dip tho, attentive service read more

Good food, good vibe, service was great also. Will definitely be back! Their outdoor dining set up is great as well.

Fortunately I did not pay for this restaurant week dinner as it was not worth $46 imo. Salad and lamb shank both turned out to be pretty ordinary and not particularly flavorful. Favorite part of meal was baklava. Appreciate the dual dessert, but they didn't really make sense together. read more

Thursday night aroun 7.30pm. Not peek hours. Had a table outside. Waited for 20 mins till someone to come and ask what we want. Walking to bar since nobody showed up. Another 10 mins wait at the bar. Still couldn't get the beers. Talked to manager. " we are busy" Terrible service. Nobody cares. Not recommended. read more

My co workers and I usually come to Pera soho and have a great time for happy hour. since its restaurant week, my husband and I thought we should try dinner. We came in at 5:15pm and ordered within 5 minutes. (knowing what we wanted) Disappointed to say but we got our drinks at 20 mins later and our appetizers at 5:50pm. we were not expecting our appetizers to take 40 minutes. the night still continued the same...except even longer for our dinner. we didn't get dinner till 6:45pm. we even asked our waiter since he didn't have the decency to come to us and even mention the delay. so for us to put our order in at 5:20pm and not get food till way later seems a bit wrong.(40mins for appetizer and close to an hour wait for our entrée?!) did our waiter forget to put our order in? I feel like once I mentioned it to our waiter is when he put the order in and on top of that, food was definitely rushed- did not taste right at all. im sad to say this experience is now what I wanted for my husband for a place that I spoke so highly of. read more

I really hate leaving negative reviews but I did not have a good experience here at all. This place caught our eye while we were in the neighborhood and my friend was not feeling well so we decided to stop here. It is a gorgeous restaurant and we were lucky enough to sit outside on the heated patio. The menu was not very vegetarian friendly when it came to entrees (one of my friends was a vegetarian) so we decided to stick to the appetizers. The prices were a little high for my liking but that was ok because everything on the menu seemed delicious and we each ordered a meze and a cocktail (around $14 each!). At first, one of my friends ordered the Black Jasmine cocktail and it tasted like potpurri and we all agreed that it was terrible. When we told the waiter if we could change it, he was a bit hesitant but changed it to the Mango Gimlet was really nice. I ordered the Blood Orange Martini which was nice but not worth $14 to me. I ordered the lahamajun and I did not like it at all. I have had lamajun many times before making it at home and ordering it in NYC, and this was by far one of the worst. It was unecessarily greasy and heavy. There was too much oil. The beet and goat cheese dip was a disappointment too. The size of the goat cheese swimming in the beet puree was no more than a size of a quarter. We were all disappointed including my friend who works at Murray's cheese and loves goat cheese. The Adana kebob that my other friend got was pretty nice and the desserts my friends ordered said it was good even though I didn't order anything. I noticed when I came home that we were overcharged, we went during happy hour and were charged full price for some of the drinks and mezes we had ordered. When I came to the restaurant the next day to discuss this with an employee, the man who greeted me was willing to adjust my price. However, another man came (I'm assuming a manager) told me that he could not adjust the price because we sat at a table and not at the bar. Excuse me? I have sat in plenty of restaurants before and have been charged the happy hour price even when not sitting at the bar. Also, nowhere in the store or online does it say you need to sit at the bar. There wasn't any room at the bar for 3 more people anyways. He told me when I came back during happy hour to sit at the bar with an attitude. Nope man, I will never ever come back. read more

First time at this establishment and I will never come back. The manager is rude and the waiters are forgetful and lie about when items are coming out. After 2 hours of waiting for food it comes out cold and we politely asked if they can heat it up and the "manager" kept apologizing for the service but they then end up throwing the food away. We asked to reorder and the manager then tells us that they can't serve us anymore. Worst restaurant in New York. Don't come here would give zero stars but I can't . read more

Great place for brunch. It's good to have a place to go to that offers Mediterranean food. It's lighter and different.

I stumbled upon this place on a Saturday afternoon while I was kind of lost, with a dead phone. The friendly vibe, the atmosphere, the appealing outdoor seating called to me and I walked in! I was greeted by Frankie, the host and was immediately assisted! Frankie your kindness, attentiveness to my situation and concern was BEYOND appreciated, Thank you for accommodating my needs, you are great at your job! I was sat immediately, a waiter served me my drink in NO time, and I was able to regroup (I needed a moment I was lost in NYC guys!), charge my phone!!!, and find my way back to where I was going. Customer service was amazing here, the drinks were great too! I recommend to anyone to Stop in, the vibes were all there! read more

I came here with a few gal pals after a ladies night clay-painting sesh at Color Me Mine (that could not have sounded more basic). The food here is out-of-control delicious. We had olive hummus to start, with the most amazing pita pieces I have ever had. I'm not sure what the spices on the pita were, but they tasted so uniquely salty and yummy. It wasn't too crowded on a rainy Thursday night, so we were able to get a table in the clear-tended porch area. It's decorated with twinkly lights and cozy seating. For the main course, I ordered the seared salmon with vegetable mush (technical term) and it was dope. My friend ordered the short ribs -- I had a taste and almost fell out of my chair it was so good. I would describe the whole experience as upscale Mediterranean The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. David the manager came over a few times to chat with us and make sure that we were enjoying everything. We ended up talking with him for a while and he even gave us a preview of the rooftop! It looks awesome, with views of the Empire State building and Chrysler building and a couple of different bench/table areas to sit. I will definitely be going back when the weather gets warmer. So, never. There may have also been group tequila shots involved... They do offer BYOB, however the corkage fee is $25. So unless you're bringing a bottle that's less than $10, it's not really worth it since the glasses of wine at the restaurant range from $12-$15. Will definitely be going back! read more

Ambiance: 5/5, drinks: 4/5, food: 3/5, service: 2/5. Pera Soho has a really nice patio with string lights and such a great ambiance. Food was just ok, slightly overpriced for what I got and nothing special. Drink wise, I got a soho blossom and sangria and liked them both. Service was a bit slow and the waiter never came back to check on how our food was or get us more water (and we had to flag down someone else multiple times to get our check). Think this place is a good option for big groups or events, and I still want to come back to try their brunch though. read more

Pera Soho - RW Chicken Shashlik - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

This restaurant is so insanely cute! Review time! I came here with friends after a suggestion to catch their happy hour and we ended up staying for dinner. Keep in mind their happy hour is until 7pm and it's only at the bar. Their cocktails are $8 which isn't terrrrrible for a happy hour special. I sipped on the Soho Blossom all evening which is now one of my favorite drinks ever. It wasn't crowded surprisingly and I'm wondering why people aren't up on this spot. At 7pm we decided to have dinner and we were seated in their outdoor courtyard. This is where they truly win...AMBIANCE! The have lights all over and it really made me feel like I wasn't in the middle of NYC. Food! No complaints here from me and my girls as we truly enjoyed our meals. I got the Macedonian Chicken which was delicious and my friends got the sirloin and short ribs. The service was just as good as we had an attentive waiter. I definitely would come back here! To truly experience this restaurant I would only come if there was nice weather tho. The food is good don't get me wrong but that courtyard really makes the restaurant. Its the perfect place for a date! read more

I was surprised at first by the overall 3 star rating since it seems like a great spot, but once we sat down I knew why. The outdoor area is really fantastic. It looks like someone's beautifully decorated, decked out backyard. Some dishes were great others lacked flavor or were just way too small for the price. The service was nonexistent and when our waiter would come around he was so bland and awkward. No smile, no introduction, no small talk. When he first came over I was reading over the cocktail menu, and he grabbed it from me, showed the table then put it down away from me. We were all like OKAY - this guy is rude or just plain weird. Here's a breakdown of what we had: Beet and goat cheese dip: flavorless beet purée with one small ball of goat cheese just thrown in there. Some more goat cheese would've made this dish great. I don't recommend this one. Hummus: it was my first time trying hummus (I know, I know) and this was pretty great. Lamb dumplings: mini dumplings tossed in creamy feta, very similar to a pasta dish. Pretty good dish. Sliders: the dish comes with TWO. That's it. They're lucky they were tasty. Phyllo rolls: again only two tiny rolls served so we had to cut them in pieces to serve everyone at our table. But this dish was actually one of the better ones, although they weren't crispy at all. Portuguese calamari: best dish we had on the table (and we had about 15 plates). The batter was delish and the calamari were nice and crispy. This was the most generous serving which made it even better. One great rice (side dish): more like one greatly mediocre rice. The rice had weird texture and absolutely no flavor. Fries: bland and overcooked. Not what I expected at all. Brussel sprouts: shredded sprouts with melted manchego cheese over it. Looked similar to baked mac and cheese. This dish had good flavor. Chicken cut rolls: generous serving, nicely flavored chicken but didn't blow me away. Short ribs entree: the short ribs had a cinnamon kick and were so tender, it fell right off the fork. Parsnip purée was delish. Blue jasmine cocktail: toooo strong, yes it's actually too strong. It needed some more blueberry flavor. It tastes like straight up rubbing alcohol.* Baklava: about 4 mini pieces to the dish, but it's so sweet you don't need any more than that. The crumbled pistachios were a nice touch. Creme brulee: no crispy outer shell?? What?! Get this fake a** creme brulee out of my face... tasty creme though. -------- *I've never tasted it but judging by smell of it this is what it would taste like. read more

Service was top notch; was greater by an awesome guy at the door who also spoke French so we connected right away. The Mediterranean sliders are a must *drool emoji. Paired well with the apple cider sangria and the amazing service. Definitely coming back. Happy hour is 2-7, no disappointments here.. read more

"Can you please give them negative stars" asked my husband and friends.......that about sums up our experience at Pera Soho. Lets start off with the positive, the restaurant has a wonderful ambiance, its sophisticated and the bar area is beautiful. Service here was top notch and our waiter was very helpful and attentive. Based on ambiance and service alone, I would come back again....sadly the food and the price just doesn't justify another visit. The food here was terrible and the price just made it even worse. So onwards with the dishes: 1. Lamb dumplings with yogurt- lamb was chewy and oh so bland! 2. Chicken Shashlik- my goodness this was so bland and had absolutely no flavor. Plus the onions that came on the side with it had a terrible smell and we had to send them back because they smelled well...old. :( The chicken was chewy and not the soft melt in your mouth kebab that you expect. 3. Striped Bass- the lentils were good but the dish as a whole was very bland. There was absolutely no flavor in the fish 4. Hummus- bland bland bland bland and dry....you get the idea 5. Phyllo Rolls- soggy and I can't believe they managed it but bland as well!!! Overpriced and bland food sums up the experience at Pera Soho. I am surprised to see so many positive reviews but my one star opinion is shared by 5 of my friends who were there, so I know my assessment isn't that off! My advice, save your money and go somewhere else! read more

Pera Soho - Chicken Shashlik - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

Came with a group and ordered every appetizer and every entree on the menu. Food is not good at all and overpriced

Cheat Place. Beware of deceit. I was part of a large dinner event organized by my employer. 3 of us wanted vegetarian / vegan options. The server refused to give us options other than fixed menu. I had to talk to manager and then server took our orders. The food was pathetic and tasteless. We almost wasted entire food. When the bill arrived, the credit card charge slip was placed on top with gratuity field empty. And the server was expecting gratuity. I added and signed the slip. The place was poorly lit. So I could not see the itemized bill and charge slip. When I looked at both slips on reaching home, I was shocked. The gratuity was already added and I was led to believe, no gratuity added. Please look at the bills enclosed. Beware of this place. read more

Pera Soho - Cheat Place. Beware. - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

Really nice spot to have dinner or cocktails in Soho. Definitely recommend sitting in the gorgeous outside patio or inside behind the glass doors for a private occasion. My favorite things were the salmon and the dates covered in beef. Both of these dishes were excellent. Not far behind were the smoked eggplant with fresh pita chips and the branzino. Dessert was fantastic which was creme brulé with pistachios inside and dark chocolate bark so yum! Definitely would be back here for sure. read more

always my favorite date night restaurant. the food is delicious, the ambience is great. love Pera Soho

It was a quiet Saturday afternoon in SoHo when a party of 19 walked into this restaurant. My grandma's 75th and I had no idea what to expect. We were lead into a private room in the back and offered water as soon as we were seated. The ambiance was set well and the music wasn't too loud, making for an intimate setting. Soon, the first of the pre-picked appetizers came out and little time was spent chatting as the table went to work on the hummus. Topped with sesame seeds, and just a tad of oil it was the perfect dip to go with the baked chips. Afterwards, the Lamb Flatbread "Lahmajun" was the perfect appetizer with ground lamb and tomatoes and after much deliberation our group decided that it was cinnamon that gave it that kick. The Mediterranean Sliders were simple, but elegant, with the perfect combination of spices that complimented the meat. I ordered the Sirloin "Shashlik" Steak Frites and while it was a little cold (they brought out food for 19 people at the same time, I'll let it slide) the dish was formed well and the meat was really soft. The fries that accompanied the entrée were crispy and had just the right amount of salt/garlic seasoning. For dessert, we went with the safe bet of icecream and seasonal fruit. Even though the scoop of rum raisin had some of my younger cousins frowning, I found it to be refreshing and the perfect end to the night. As you can imagine, as the drinks poured, the toasts increased in length and the staff were very patient before bringing in the courses and taking plates away. Our waiter, Sener, made sure that the food didn't contain nuts in consideration of my brother's allergy and took care of the most minute detail. All in all, it was a memorable experience and one that we'll most definitely look back on with with smiles on our faces. read more

Was a great time staff was very acomindating since we had a few late arrivals which was very appreciative. This is a great place for groups the dips and appetizers are amazing and very refreshing cocktails read more

Absolutely WONDERFUL!!! It was our first night in New York after a 5 hour flight from California. We were seated in their outdoor patio and the ambience is rustic & hip! Out came our starters and I've never tasted calamari as delectable as this! We got so lucky that it was the last day of restaurant week! I got the salmon and it was so fresh and tasty! Then it began to rain so they quickly moved our food inside. The interiors of the restaurant is modern and artistic. We had more drinks and desserts in there. When we tasted the baklava we just said, "woah!!!" We would definitely come back here every time we are in New York! Highly recommended! read more

Their prix-fixe for brunch is pretty good-$21 for an entree, cocktail and coffee/tea. I got the shakshuka eggs poached in tomato sauce, with sausage and cheese. It was interesting, but I think I should've stuck to my classic eggs benedict. I also had the apricot bellini which was pretty tasty. Really pretty restaurant and we got a good corner table for our group of 7. The servers were friendly and didn't mind that our party wasn't all there at the same time. read more

Chose to go here because of a NYTimes review of several months ago and a savored discount - and our wedding anniversary. Despite the bitter cold outside, we were determined to celebrate! For better or for worse, the place was pretty empty; we had a 7:30 res & no shortage of places to sit (definitely due to the cold & the snowy remains of a storm the other day). ANYWAY...needless to say, we did NOT sit outdoors, as so many reviewers have raved about, but the inside space is comfortable & elegant. Our waiter was wonderful, friendly & professional simultaneously, and very attentive (would he have been this attentive had the place been typically Friday-night full? We'll have to go again to find out!). When I asked him which he'd choose among 3 cocktails I was considering, he steered me right; the "cordovar" was excellent, very balanced flavors & enough alcohol to make me just the slightest bit woozy but not overly (I'm a cheap date - 1 drink is enough!). Hubby ordered the butternut squash soup & I ordered the smoked eggplant, for starters. Soup was superb, kind of Indian in flavor, not spicy per se but with a curry-ish bite, unusual for a soup that's usually sweet. The eggplant was much less smoke-y flavored than a usual babaganoush, which was fine by us, and very light with almost a hint of citrus that made the good-sized portion (it's listed as a small plate, not an appetizer) enough for two, served with lavash. mmmm For main, hubby had the striped bass, served with lentils & veggies atop; he pronounced it very good. I chose small plates: the lamb cut roll, which looked like 6 pieces of a sushi roll, but was 6 pieces of small lamb meatball wrapped in a phyllo (?) crust, with a dab of yogurt sauce atop each one. Good kick of spice, perfectly cooked ground lamb, very flavorful. Also had the spicy walnut muammara, which I've had spicier than that; I'd say this was the only somewhat-off note of the meal, & it wasn't bad by any measure, just not as spicy as I'd expected. We shared a side of their roasted brussels sprouts with pistachios & kasseri cheese - you would barely know they were brussels sprouts (in case you're not a fan), & the nuts & cheese were the perfect mix-in - this was an excellent & somewhat unusual dish as opposed to how brussels sprouts are usually prepared. We were stuffed but couldn't resist splitting one dessert - highly recommend the Turkish Coffee Panna Cotta! Would've liked more choices than only chamomile or Lipton in the decaf tea department, so we didn't bother with a beverage, but it was fine because we really were full! We'd go back even w/o the discount. The food was excellent, a bit different (I'm always looking for something unusual within the confines of mostly meatless), and the service was also excellent. Our only little quibble was that online there is a separate vegetarian menu (& my husband is mostly vegetarian); however, he was fine with the fish. DEFINITELY worth repeat visits. read more

Pera Soho was an interesting find. My partner and I were on our way to a cocktail bar and happened to stumble here first. We looked at the menu, and drinks were interesting, gut us at the apricot margarita! And we thought, well we should try it sometime, but then we saw that happy hours were until 8 pm, and it was 7:50.... So ... you know what happened next! When we stepped in, you first see the outdoor area which will be a great place to come back to when warmer, the indoor décor is a great reflection of classy and sophisticated and gatsby-ish. The sitting area with candle lights and the bar area with dim lighting, a great relax ambiance with a good staff. The bartender saw us walk in, and as the bar was a bit crowded, he still took our order and honored the happy hour prices even though he barely got to use at 8. We got the blood orange martini and the apricot margarita. Both drinks were great, I am not a apricot lover as much as I thought, but the margarita really was more of a hint of apricot, it was definitely a great cocktail and the martini had a kick of tart to it. Besides the drinks, the happy hour included Mediterranean /Greek type bites which were delightful. We ordered the beet and goat cheese dip and the pastirma -wrapped feta stuffed dates. Personally, I was expecting to like the goat cheese dip more, but found the pastirma to be my favorite! Small and yet a great balance between salty and sweet. Again, I am not a big fan of stuffed dates, but this is one I would order again and again. Only downfall was that we only get 3 small dates on a stick to share. The goat cheese dip came with interesting crackers (which I loved) but I had no idea the beets were blended with the goat cheese, and the beet flavor was overpowering for me. My partner loves beets, so it was a hit for him, but just not my thing. I let him eat the cheese and I ate the crackers though! While here, we saw some friends that were seated and having dinner, and I almost felt like eating here as well. Pera does a great job at plating and making each serving look exquisite. We did not stay long as we had plans made already, but we will for sure be back and looking forward to trying their full menu! Gorgeous place, amazing environment, perfect for a first date night! read more

We had wanted to come here for some time after walking past numerous times and seeing the nice outdoor seating area and happy hour menu. When we arrived we had to wait for longer than expected to be seen by the host who were setting up the table for the family in front of us despite there being plenty of staff and a very empty restaurant. We had our two small dogs with us and when it was our time to speak to the host we were disappointed to hear that we could not bring in dogs even though I have seen plenty of dogs in the garden previously, which is why it had caught my eye. Apparently those fluffy little dogs must have been service dogs (sure they were) Anyway, after I pointed that out and the host said she could put us somewhere near the back, we decided that this place was not worth the dollars and went to one of the other many dog friendly places! read more

delicious, nice variety of mediterranean options. authentic and nice selection of wine and cocktails. loved both indoor and outdoor ambiance and service was top notch ! read more

The not so good welcoming by the hostess kind of impacted my impression of this place, she sounded rude and gave you a bad look, but when we were seated, things got a bit better. This place has a great view of the sky - great for afternoons and evenings (to see stars at night). Food and drinks are good, just pricey. Overall a alright experience, if the beginning was better, I would have gave more stars. They definitely need to change that hostess. read more

I was invited to a private rendez vous here at the new Pera SoHo just recently, and given that I have been to the Midtown location a couple of times, I had to check it out. So after work, a colleague and I ventured down to this location. Now, this was a private tasting function, which included drinks and a few courses of appetizers, entrees and dessert. First things first. The ambiance. In comparison to the Midtown location, Pera Soho feels a bit more open, in part due to the nice big terrace outside when you walk in (which makes me wish it was already springtime). Once inside, the place definitely has a bit more character than Midtown. Now, both locations have a very modern warming feel to them; however, Soho definitely has a bit more character. What really stood out was the trolley mural in the dining room. When we got there, we were immediately greeted by Burak (the owner), which was nice to meet in person. The waiters were quick to see us and offered us a drink right away. He came back with what was called Pera Rikki (sp). Very refreshing...again, wish the weather was nice enough to enjoy that drink in their outdoor terrace. We sat down promptly at 7:30, and out came the food. I am breaking this down into all the dishes that were served with my own comments (photos to be posted shortly after this review): APPETIZER 1. Grape Leaf Chips with Muammara - These chips totally made this dish. And the muammara complemented them quite well. The chips were just simply deliciously crispy in a very delicate way, and melted in your mouth! APPETIZER 2. Calamari - Crispy, and love it when the tentacles are included. And beware of the peppers they include in this. APPETIZER 3. Hummus - Definitely one of the best hummus I have tasted anywhere. Served warm. APPETIZER 4. Lamb Adana Medallions - AH MAY ZING! This is a MUST have! SALAD - Pera Soho Salad - which had cherry tomato halves, cucumbers, onion, parsley. Refreshing. A bit too acidic for me...but refreshing. EGG PLANT PUREE - One of the creamiest puree dishes I have tasted. Exquisite. ENTREES - Which included a turkey kabab, duck kabab and a fish dish. They were all very delicious, especially the kababs. The only gripe I had was the fish, which had a scale in it. That turns me off a bit. Excellent job, and glad to have an option in Soho for Pera as well. Being brand new, I do still love their innovative ways of serving traditional dishes. Now I can't wait to come back and try a happy hour at their outdoor patio! read more

My friends and I went to Pera Soho during Restaurant Week on a night when it was quite busy and there were two very large parties happening, which delayed things for everyone else there. We were seated at a nice table for six on the large outside patio, but because the restaurant was so crowded, all of our chairs (and the chairs of everyone at the restaurant) were constantly knocked by the servers rushing to and fro. The chairs have a poor design in that they don't have straight backs but rather curve out, making walkway space even more cramped. Try to sit REALLY close to the table so you don't get hit too much. The food was delicious! I ordered the Shish Kabob Steak which was perfectly flavored with not a drop of fat on any piece of meat, and served with a side of truffle salt fries. I absolutely loved it! I would go back to Pera Soho, just not during Restaurant Week when it's a bit too crazy. read more

We had a party of 10 and the staff was so kind and accommodating!! We started off we shared appetizers with diverse kinds of hummus and spreads with fried pita chips. My favorite was the goat cheese and beet one- so so good! We also had fried cheese filo sticks things, it was delicious. We then had a Mediterranean fresh salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and feta. It was fresh and great. Main dishes were shared and we had lamb and chicken plates. There was a lot of food, they know how to do family style!! Dessert was a huge plate of sweet baklava. Lots of yums and smiles, we were seated outside - the staff took very delicate care of our party and we all left promising to come back! read more
