    a bowl of soup on a plate
    JiHae L.

    I came here precovid last time I came here. But I haven't had a chance to dine here after covid. So, when I found out it was sunnyside restaurant week, I came here with a friend to try it out. It still looks the same, and from what I remember, the food was just as good. I ordered the eggplant dish as an appetizer, and it was a decent size, and it tasted good with the warm bread that they served. For the main course, I ordered the stuffed cabbage that had minced beef inside. It wasn't so bad to eat. For the last course, which was dessert, I got the rice pudding. It was very delicious, and I'm glad that I ordered this versus the baklava. Overall, I was glad that I tried this place and during restaurant week, which was so affordable.

    Best Turkish food in Queens! Nice and calm ambient, which is good for family/friends/date. Owner is present and is very attentive and friendly. Service is expedient, with frequent water refills and check ins. They do not rush you out the door once you are done eating. Food is super delicious and fresh! We started off with fresh bread, salad, and mixed appetizers. We had a mixed grill as the entree, and baklava and homemade rice pudding with Turkish tea for dessert. My partner had a mixed cherry and peach juice, which was tasty. Will definitely be back!

    Love this place so much! Got a variety of their dips - Lebni, humus, eggplant salad, tabuleh and more and they were one better than the next. Then we had the mixed grill which hit the spot and was totally shareable. Sarah the owner is a gem of a human and there's a reason this place has been around for 20 years, it's because she's doing everything right - Highly Recommend

    Shepard Salad
    Jen E.

    Popped in on a Monday @8pm and it was just us and a family of 4. We were served water immediately and given ample time to look at the menu. We ordered a large shepherd salad ($14), 2 lahmacun and an adana kebab. The salad was good but lacked some vibrancy, more lemon juice would have been good. Also they used dry sumac which left a weird "bite" to the salad. The lahmacun was probably my favorite with parsley, onion and tomato on the side. The adana kebab was slightly salty for me but my bf said it was fine when eaten with the rice and salad. Overall, it's close to where we live so worth coming back but 3.5/5 for food quality. The server was super friendly though and very attentive.

    ET DONER (Gyro)

    This place is just a block away from where I live and I always wonder to try their food. This is not my first time trying Turkish Food, I have been living in Turkey back then and really in love with their cuisine. I had lunch special doner wrap. It's huge portion for me. For the flavor is just okay though but they put so much meat in it. My friend had Iskender kebab. It's good but we expected we could get salad and rice. Oh not to forget, their bread is so good and so soft. I can tell it's very fresh from the oven!

    ET DONER

    We ordered the et doner and a small appetizer of mix dips such as hummus, eggplant dip and etc to share. The fresh bread was perfect for the appetizer and the et doner was thinly sliced beef cooked perfectly. Waitress was friendly and items were very affordable. Would definitely revisit to try their other items.

    3.5 Stars but I'll round up to 4: It's been a few years since we've returned to Turkish Grill! The restaurant hasn't really changed except the prices/portion sizes. Prices have increased while portion sizes have decreased! I know times are rough but if it ain't broke, don't fix it!! Here is our menu tonight: Mixed Appetizer - all delicious: ~ Lebini (thick homemade yogurt w/walnuts, garlic and dill) ~ Humus (mashed chick peas blended w/fresh garlic , tahini and herbs) ~ Eggplant Salad (smoked eggplant w/peppers, onion, parsley, fresh dill and lemon juice) ~ Tabuleh (bulgur wheat w/parsley, scallions and a touch of olive oil) ~ Piyaz ( white beans w/onion, parsley with olive oil and vinaigrette dressing) ~ Babaganush (smoked puree eggplant, sesame oil, lemon juice and a hint of garlic) Sigara Borek (light pastry dough stuffed w/a blend of feta cheese and fresh herbs) - this was disappointing. I remember loving it in the past. Not so much on this visit. Homemade Manti (Turkish style dumplings. A light dough stuffed w/seasoned, ground lamb and onions; steamed to perfection; served with garlic yogurt and special buttered tomato sauce) - this was the best dish of the night! Delicious. Shish Kebab (Marinated baby lamb cubes grilled on skewers; Served w/rice, grilled peppers, tomatoes & seasoning) - l used to love this dish but this time it was a little overcooked. Dessert: Kunefe ( shredded wheat w.cheese homemade yogurt w/walnuts, garlic and dill) - soooo good! This was actually a large portion!

    Chicken Gyro Salad
    Ameya B.

    Went here as a family of 7 on a Saturday night at 8:30 pm, and were seated right away. It's a small, cozy place and the place started getting busy after 8:45/9 pm with not much seating left by 9:15 pm. We ordered a few things, including the Sheesh Kabab, Adana Kabab, and while ordering, our waitress mentioned that Chicken Gyro was their daily special. I ordered the Gyro with Salad (which normally comes with rice). The Gyro was ok when it warm and became very difficult to eat once it was a little colder. It didn't really have much of a taste and I wish it was a little juicier so it would've been a little easier to eat! Main course on an average is about $15 Service was good overall and we had a pleasant experience.

    Following our Middle Eastern streak, my husband and I came to A La Turka, lured by, you guessed it,…read moretheir $45 Restaurant Week menu. The food was phenomenal, and there wasn't a single bite that we didn't enjoy. We began our meal with two appetizers, the eggplant shakshouka and the sauteed shrimp. While I preferred the eggplant for its taste, I was surprised by the small portion and the lack of egg. Isn't shakshouka known for its signature fried egg, nestled in a bed of tomatoes and peppers? I could be wrong. Nonetheless, it was delicious, and the accompanying loaf was wonderfully soft and flavored with garlic oil. It was the best table bread I've ever had. For our mains, we ordered lamb chops and adana kebab. Both were so delicious and huge! I'm often leery of lamb for its gaminess, but this one wasn't gamey at all. Rather, it had a slight funk, much like a well aged cheese. It was delicious, and the sear on that tender meat added a nice smokiness. The kebab was well seasoned and it, too, had a nice, moderate sear. For dessert, there was only one option, the baklava, and it was everything a baklava ought to be: generously soaked in syrup, the filo dough flaky, with layers of crunch from the chopped pistachios. I loved everything at A La Turka, and if I ever wanted Middle Eastern food again (which I often do these days), I'll come here!

The second you sit down, you're asked for your drink order. They bring you a name brand bottle of water instead of offering tap water, which of course goes on the bill. When our waiter removed the appetizer plates, he said our entrees would be out in 5 minutes. We had 2 healthy sized appetizers so I said, we need a little more time. Can you push it out by an extra 5 minutes? And they did. But, as soon as you're done with the entree, a different waiter shows you a dessert plate. I said we needed a little time to decide. She comes back in literally under a minute. I said, you were just here, we need a minute to decide. My companion and I decided on a dessert to share, but less than 2 minutes later, the check arrives by someone else. Case closed! Food was excellent so I gave this restaurant a 3 star, but the extremely rushed service made for a very uncomfortable experience. I've been to this restaurant a number of times and I've recommended it. But it's generally the same feeling each time. This was the worst in terms of rushed service. I had a 6:30 pm reservation on a Saturday night and the place was packed when we left. I guess they don't have to worry about my review. But, I'll never go back.

Got a hummus and some brunch mains (hummus was to share but mostly for our toddler to get started during the wait). 30 min or so passed before they showed up with the hummus. I initially thought they decided to bring everything together so it took so long but no. Had to wait another 30 min for the mains. I had to ask for more bread since 1 hummus for 5 people was clearly not sufficient and taking 1 hour to deliver brunch food in an almost empty restaurant is beyond unreasonable. Took them another 40 min to get a piece of pita bread out, came after the 1-hour-wait mains. Manager came to apologize and said she will come back "to walk us through what happened and what they can comp". Okay... of course she never came back and the waiter took off a coffee and hummus off the bill. The two cheapest items. Not even the overpriced mocktails that are sugar water priced like an alcoholic drink and literally cost them nothing. Hummus I couldn't even eat because after 1 hour of waiting had to really entertain the toddler (who behaved perfectly until over 1 hour of sitting around in one spot starving). Really disappointing and concerning that the restaurant seems to be creating fake positive reviews that mislead customers about the actual quality.
