Amazing restaurant and lovely staff. The lamb is delicious! Would highly recommend eating here

They offer excellent dance lessons and have a large rental venue for weddings and birthday parties.”

Delicious and authentic Turkish food and great service and hospitality. All the staff are wonderful, especially Mr Kazim!

Great food and service! I had the lunch special. The labneh was amazing as well as the chicken adana

ABA totally delivers a five star experience with our post-COVID dinner. Nice atmosphere, quiet background music, great service, excellent food choices, and very large portions. The service staff are excellent; they attended to our needs, yet gave us plenty time and space to be comfortable throughout dinner. If you want to experience excellent Turkish food a few blocks off of Columbus Circle, this is best spot. Five stars…

Very charming and authentic Turkish place Food was delicious We had the hummus, spinach borek and the manti dumplings 😍

This is a hidden gem in the middle of city center!!! All of their foods are good, but their roasted chicken is my favorite. A bit pricey but it is a big portions too. It's better to go go with friends or a group, so you can share the food and try more menu.

Great food, affordable, great service.falafel is superb… I recommend this place…..

Our family has never had Turkish food. We were really upfront up about it with our server. She made some fantastic suggestions. Bread Basket- I think everyeone had at least 2 slices of bread, dipping it in delicious olive oil, while one ate about 5 slices! The bread was crunchy and soft at the same time. Shepherd Salad- It was delicious. We got the large- it looked "small" but it ended up feeding 5 (one less than enthusiatic child) people as an appetizer pretty comfortably. So, probably 4 adults would be very happy with good sized portions to share this salad. We put the feta cheese on the side because one person in our group usually cannot have feta. Mucver- It was delicious. Definitely try this dish. The zucchini flower pancake combo was so lovely, The sauce that accompanied it was super refreshing. Doner Kebab- This was ordered because it was a safe choice for our family. We are more familiar with this- as it is similiar- but not the same as Gyro meat. The spices were on target and it was a fantastic dish. Lamb Adana Kebab- Honestly, our family is not used to eating lamb. HOWEVER, we "went outside our comfort zone" for this- and boy was it great. It was not to gamey for us. There were great spices in this dish, and everyone at the table went back for seconds. Stuffed Cabbage Leaves (Lahana Sarmasi)- It was not your usual "stuffed cabbage" filling. It was flavorful, the sauce was delightful, and nothing was left when we finished our meal. This is a "returnable" restaurant. Really. The meal was plenty for 5 people. Best part- tip was included in the meal, so there was no fussing or trying to figure that out. It was greatly appreciated.

Their breakfast specifically their breakfast platter is highly recommended. Cite design with turkish sense in design. cousins are large portion and we shared one combined kebab plate for 2 people. If you are not turkish and you are willing to experience new tasting it’s good to order “airan” as a drink it a yogurt sour taste that you can enjoy it with kabab. 2nd fun think is to get a Turkish coffee and try to read your fortune from you come.

Dolma (stuffed graped leaves), Manti, and Aba combo were all good! Chicken and lamb cop were so tender.

I'm still thinking about those flavors. The food hits the right notes, service feels natural, and quality ingredients speak for themselves. From the welcome to the goodbye, quality matters. Most significantly, staff members display sincere kindness. The workers create a welcoming environment.

Great place to get hight quality turkish food quickly without any hastles. Seems very authentic with clean tastes. Nothing was stand out or amazing but every thing together was a very enjoyable expirence. An easy recommendation.

We had Lamb Gyro and Cesar salad; the food was fresh and tasty. And feels Authentic. We were impressed by the service as the staff was knowledgeable and passionate. They also have special Turkish meals if anyone is interested and looking for some of the meals found in traditional Turkish restaurants.

Best Turkish food fount in NYC. Everything we tried was very close to taste of food in Turkey. Friendly servers.

We came across this gem after a long day exploring the city. We made a last minute reservation for six adults and five children and got excellent service despite our rather active children. We were especially happy to see a changing station in their restroom. Food was excellent...do try their mix grill!

Amazing food and environment. We ordered Isqander Kabab, Adna kabab for us and Fries for kids. Every thing is fresh and tasty same as you eat in Istanbul. Kunefa and turkish tea is amazing. Kunefa portion is for 4 so make sure you have room for it. At the end Turkish tea give us kick to go back in snow in Times Square😊. Plus service is great too.

food was fresh and delicious . Staff was very friendly. Would definitely come back again

Never had Turkish food before, but this place seriously blew my socks off. Definitely get the manti appetizer!

Really enjoyed the food here. Stopped to have dinner before seeing Gregory Porter at Carnegie Hall.

OMG!! What a super find in NYC! This place is a must try. Great staff, fantastic food, cozy little restaurant. I had the Turkish Gyro. 3 chef kisses for this place!

The food was very tasty and theeir service was good. It's a bit pricy thought. Great and family friendly environment.

+1

Trying a new place: WOW! After we were seated, the first thing we noticed a lot of the customers seemed to be regulars - a good sign. The Turkish gyro meat is amazing - full of flavor! The sultan's delight was moist and fall apart tender. The wait staff directed us to the wine shop across the street as the restaurant is BYOB. Will definitely return next time we are in the neighborhood!

+3

Very good restaurant, spacious, clean, the service is good and the food is very good

One of the best Turkish restaurants in NYC. The lamb doner was the best, in my opinion. They offer Halal food, and the bill for dine-in includes the service fee/tips by default.

+1

Very good quality food that is fully halal. We spent a decent amount by getting sides and desert too but they have good price options for lunch and dinner if you get the combo deals. Their lamb is really well cooked.

Came to ABA to experience authentic Turkish food. They serve Manti, which is hard to find in any Turkish cuisine. It was delicious, beyond my expectations. It felt like I was back in Turkey having a meal with family. Lamb Shank was also amazing. Next trip to NYC will definitely include another stop at ABA.

ABA was a delight, the food was amazing! Someone here was nice enough to let me pray in a designated area. Overall 10/10 and would recommend to any Turkish food lover!

I absolutely love this restaurant and their lunch special. It is such a great deal and the food is always delicious. I personally love the chicken adana kebab, the meat is very tender and moist. Not dry at all, it's perfect. The staff are also very friendly and I have never had to wait to be seated.

Great place at a walking distance to the Times Square and Central Park. Mezes and salads are very tasty and entrees authentic. Desserts are also very good. You should give it a try!

My husband and I went here after seeing the broadway show, Six. The server was excellent!! We sat out outside (there are heaters!), and asked what the server recommended.. he gave us great options and we tried the fried rolls as a hot appetizer and the combination kabob platter! Some of the tastiest kabobs we have ever had! We enjoyed Turkish wine as well. The restaurant was so authentic my husband got nervous after he ate the raw tomato and lettuce (those that travel overseas know why).Overall, I highly recommend!

The food was amazing. The three course meal is the way to go. Turkish tea and the overall food made me feel like I was in Turkey & the atmosphere felt authentic. I highly recommend eating here for the lunch special.

Amazing! We were so excited to find this wonderful Turkish restaurant on our first night in NYC! Having been overseas in Turkey, we always look for places that have authentic Turkish food wherever we visit a major metropolitan city. The staff was so friendly and attentive. It was good to speak a few words in Turkish with them and they were so kind to not make fun of words we couldn’t remember how to say certain things.

Amazing food and great service. We were visiting NY from Calgary, Canada. I read reviews of this place online and decided to go for lunch. It was worth the walk. The servers were attentive and courteous. Would definitely recommend to friends visiting NYC.

Authentic Turkish cuisine! Great execution and service. We have been away from this kind of tasty and flavorful dishes for a while. Try Iskender and liver for sure.

I struggle with my desire to hoard this gem versus promote it. Employees make customers feel welcome through kindness. Our family keeps returning to this place. I consider this food exceptional. I'm fully committed to this spot.

You can find a great variety of mouth watering dishes in Turkish cuisine, which is mostly the heritage of Ottoman cuisine. It is the mixture and refinement of Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan cuisines. Therefore it is impossible to fit Turkish cuisine into a short list.

I like this place, it has a relaxed Turkish vibe. The food is incredible, I love their fresh bread the most. And their falafel platter is delicious too.

The most authentic Turkish I've had in the area. Lentil soup was the best I've ever had. And the complimentary bread with dipping oil is the star of the show!

Great atmosphere, great food, service excellent. We has a little get together with our staff there, great choice. The salads so good and not to forget the bread. Who can eat after that. However we has our main courses of lamb, chicken and fish. I will visit again.

A great place for Turkish cuisine! The service was great and wasn't too busy. It was a Sunday early afternoon. Starting with the falafel is always a great choice. Each bite was flavorful and crispy. A fantastic start to the meal! The lamb kebab with Turkish spices is a great dish. The meat was well seasoned, tender, and rich. The rice was okay - for me it was a little bland. Would recommend!

Great place to get some Halal Turkish food. Get there before 3 pm, they have great deals $28 on lunch, 3 courses. Good portions, food was EXCELLENT. Service is great, everyone was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was good. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

if i could rate it 6 stars i would!! food was amazing, servers were very nice.. I do not normally eat liver but the ciger (liver) was so good i might start having it now and beef and lamb dishes are a must try! kunefe for dessert was the best part!! i loved it so much 💗 best turkish restaurant in the city 10/10 i highly recommend

The restaurant consistently impresses. The dishes impressed us, yet ABA Turkish Restaurant earned our loyalty through fair pricing and excellent service. We tried only a couple dishes, which were fine. Overlooked restaurant serving only the best. The food here will hit the mark.

Big shout out to Kazim, thank you for your service and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back.

The best Turkish food with the best and the most reasonable prices. I love their service and everyone is so vigilant. I specifically would like to thank Shaheen Bay who never disappoints us and knows exactly what we need. Their Turkish coffee is one of the best items on the menu.

Becky A.

Talk about don’t judge a book by its cover. I probably wouldn’t have picked this place to eat based on its rating but I’m so glad I did because it was amazing! Service was a bit spotty at first but the food came out pretty quickly once we placed our order. Started off with the bread which was fresh and warm. Sort of the inside and perfect crunchy on the outside. Had it with the olive oil but you should definitely ask to have it with the red sauce or the Tzatziki sauce! Ordered the chicken chop and man it’s some of the most flavorful chicken I’ve had. The chicken was soft and well seasoned and paired really nicely with the red cabbage which I surprisingly enjoyed. Again either the red spicy sauce or the Tzatziki sauce can add extra flavor and take your meal up a notch. You also can’t beat the value you get with this meal with three pieces of chicken thighs. Tried some of their falafel and chicken Adana and they were really good as well. Had the Backlava for desert and it was delectably sweet, flaky, and delicious! Had it with the Turkish tea which is absolutely a must try! Overall I left feeling full and content. Would eat here again!

Came here on a week night, was somewhat busy but we didn’t have to make a reservation. We started with the rice and beef stuffed grape leaves calamari which was delicious and cooked till crispy with some turkish sauce . Most of us opted for the yogurt chicken or lamb dish which was super flavorful and large in portion. I recommend ordering that at least one for the table if not all! We had some baklava and the butternut squash dessert drizzled in nuts and tahini, a must try!

Jiao Zhang

I always love Mediterranean cuisine and especially Turkish. The food is authentic and flavorful. Good quantity and fair priced. The interior is not super outstanding but classic and good enough. I love the free warm bread they give before the meal. The olive oil sprinkled with orégano is the best simple bread dip. The Shepard salad is also my favorite, fresh and well-balanced flavored with vintage. The Adana chicken is also full with middle eastern spice, well marinated. The service is quick too. Overall, a casual place for good Turkish food.

Turkish doner was delicious. Service was quick, waitres was polite. Turkish tee served fresly brewed. Definitely i will come back.

Yuri Choi

I’m really glad to have Aba Turkish Restaurant in the neighborhood. It’s one of those places I always enjoy coming back to. I walked in on a Monday night around 7 and was happy to get a table, but I know this place can get busy, so a reservation might be a good idea on other days. The lebni is creamy and rich, the falafel is perfectly crispy, and the tabbouleh is light and refreshing with parsley, tomato, bulgur, lemon, and olive oil. I love dipping their bread into both or pairing them with the falafel. The bread is soft and fresh, though I do wish it was served a little warmer. The Aba Combo is great when I can’t decide what to get since it includes a variety of meats with sides. If you like a little spice, ask for their hot sauce. It’s not on the menu, and the heat is very light, but it adds a nice flavor. The staff is always kind and attentive, and the food feels comforting yet healthy. Their Turkish breakfast menu is also worth checking out. Definitely one of my favorite local spots.

Great gluten free options with delicious kababs and shish. Killer hummus and a great service vibe. Lunch special was great value. Rice pudding…. I wish I had ordered two just for myself… that good.

Bleesy Dy

We happen to be in the area and came across this restaurant, I knew you could never go wrong with Turkish food, they would always have my cravings satisfied regarding chicken kebab, having to be born and raised in an Arab country. As always, I know Turkish food would always taste the best, and this restaurant is giviiiiiiiiiiiiing that vibes! A definitely a must to try and in a good neighborhood if it gets crowded while waiting for your reservation. Servers were really nice and they had given us complimentary Baklava. Also we did try the Dinner Special. That roasted eggplant with tomato is a killer! That didn’t stand a chance with the free bread they offered! The tea with Baklava too shouldn’t be missed! Will definitely come back 😍

This was my first time at ABA Turkish Restaurant with my family, and I had such a great experience! The place is really cozy and has a nice vibe. Our server was kind and made sure everything was perfect during our dinner. We ordered the Turkish Kebab and Grilled Whole Branzini both dishes were absolutely delicious! We also had a can of soda each. The food looked amazing and tasted even better—it really felt like a treat.We Ordered Kabak Tatli and Rice Pudding was amazing 🤩 Overall, I’m really happy I came here with kids and family.The food, the service, and the whole atmosphere made this a wonderful first visit. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend it!

Great Service! I had a good experience at Aba The food was flavorful and authentic, but what really stood out was the excellent service. A gentleman who served us was especially kind and attentive he made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. His warm demeanor and professionalism made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience at Aba Turkish Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic Turkish flavors. We especially loved the kebabs and fresh appetizers — everything tasted homemade and high quality. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were very friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable for the quality. Definitely one of the best Turkish spots in the area — we’ll be coming back soon!

Ali

The food was absolutely delicious! The kebabs, chicken, and sides were all fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. It’s really hard to find a place that represents Turkish cuisine this well. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Just a small note: they forgot to include forks and spoons in the order. Other than that, everything was perfect. Still highly recommended and we’ll definitely order again! 👌🇹🇷

Jonathan Adler

Aba is hands down one of the best Turkish restaurants in NYC. Their free BYOB policy is such a rare gem in the city and makes dining here even more enjoyable. We started with the cold appetizer plate, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The grilled meats are the star of the menu especially the lamb adana kebab, which was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The shepherd salad was crisp and refreshing, a great balance to the rich flavors of the grill. And to finish, the baklava was absolutely delicious flaky, nutty, and just the right amount of sweet. The service is warm, the atmosphere is welcoming, and every dish feels made with care. With the combination of incredible food and the BYOB perk, Aba is a true hidden gem I’ll be coming back to again and again.

Authentic Turkish restaurant perfectly located. Prices were decent $22 for the Iskender meal. You can easily share this meal, which we did. We also ordered a hummus bth it wasn’t wow. The tea is perfect and the service was over the top. We also ordered a Kunafa dessert. Only reason they are getting 4 starts is because of thesmall kunafa. It was $10 and was so small it was not with to get it. Overall would definitely go back next time I’m in NYC

Lentil soup was excellent. Okra appetizer were really good as well. But the main dishes were under whealming. Chicken was a bit dry and lacked flavor.

Clean restaurant. Sparse decor. Filling Turkish food. Great bread with oil. Falafel dinner & Kofta dinner.

Love the calimari and the gyro meat was so good.. We got the turkish gryo and the aba combo!! It was all amazing. But the turkish tea was 2 dollar and it was tiny. And it taste like my orange tea i make.

I came here for a friend's birthday and the servers did a great job of helping us celebrate, which was really nice! The Doner Kebab "Turkish Gyro" was a little bit dry, but the baklava was delicious and it was a good experience overall.

Not bad at all!! I was extra careful to detect some mistakes but except for very minor things (e.g., they overcooked icli kofte), it was good.

Get the lamb over yogurt dish, the spinach pies (eat while warm!!!), and the lentil soup! The bread is complimentary!

I did a quick search for Turkish restaurants near Rockefeller Plaza. I found a few dozen most of which were just a step above street vendors. I chose ABA Turkish Restaurant because they appeared to be serving authentic Turkish chef prepared cuisine. I was not disappointed. The very first thing I noticed was there were a lot of Turkish people eating there. That’s always a good sign to me that it’s not a tourists trap. The food was great and served quickly. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The restrooms are typical NYC cramped closets. It’s a two minute walk from Broadway and about 10 minute walk from Rockefeller Plaza.

Great Turkish great restaurant. If you like liver definitely try as well as lamb shank. Overall everything is great. You can all so bring your alcohol. Servers are extremely friendly.

Would recommend sharing ADA Combo Plate and cold appetizer platter if there are 2-3 of you. Sigare Borek was very good. We also ordered rice pudding with tea. Would give 5 stars, but service wasn’t the best. We waited quite a bit for our food and our waiter wasn’t really welcoming/friendly.

The boss bought lunch today. Typically, I don’t eat lunch because lunch causes the Itus and I need to be productive. But it was Friday. YOLO, Ringo. YOLO. Everything was good to really good. See pics. Nothing was spectacular or destination worthy, but I must say the calves liver app was surprisingly delicious. Ditto all the sauces. Would I say the same if I dined in instead of delivery ? The Turkish pro basketball player who played for the Knicks recommended this spot. I don’t know him personally, I just watch a lot of YT food recommendations. Yes, I’m a loser. Is it better than my go to Turkish take out spot at substantially lower cost? Yes, but if I was spending my own $$$, I’d probably walk over to that one because I’m poor. But if the boss is paying- this is a nice option, Karen.

Great place. I reserved a seating for two but didn’t need to since i went during the weekday. Food was great and great portions. **Price is a bit up there** Service was good. I actually loved the green salad. Cool ambiance.

The food is great! The meat is very tender and literally melts in your mouth. I rarely enjoy Doner, but loved theirs. Both the chicken and lamb Adana kebabs were amazing! I really enjoyed the lamb chops. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. I would say it’s on the pricier side for the portion.

Aba Turkish Restaurant delivers on quality with its fantastic bread, Adana kebab, and doner kebab—all bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. The cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and lack of crowds make it a pleasant spot for a relaxed meal. However, the lunch special versus main course situation left something to be desired. Despite ordering the pricier main course to get a larger portion, the serving size was identical to my wife’s lunch special, which also included an appetizer and drink—definitely a letdown. Still, if portion size isn’t your priority, the food and experience are worth trying.

Nice place with good food at a reasonable price for the city. Friendly service, was an enjoyable stop ahead of going to see some live music in the area.

This place can be a good start if you want to try Turkish food. It is not great but gives you the idea. Nothing extraordinary. It refreshed our memories of Istanbul. I felt offended and found it dishonest when they included gratitude as part of the bill and again add an option for the tip.

It was decent medioce Turkish food. We started with the dolma and that was very good. For entree we ordered the had the combo platter and it was decent. The Iskander kebab was a large sloppy dish and the flavors were lacking. Otherwise the service and ambiance was good but nothing really memorable about this place. We prefer the food at Ali Baba's much better.

I ordered the Turkish meatballs which were cooked well done without the waiter having asked how I wanted them cooked. In places that serve hamburgers, they will ask how I want the burger cooked, here the waiter did not. The meatballs needed a knife to cut them. Elsewhere I often only need a fork to cut meatballs.

There is nothing special in that Turkish restaurant. The service is very pleasant but the food is much less. The salads at the were tasteless, and the meats were overcooked. With the Iskander, which is the Turkish flagship dish, the sauce was very dominant; it was pity that we could not be impressed by the doner tast. There are much better Turkish restaurants in Manhattan.

The food is good, but the service is terrible. They brought the wrong order, forgot to bring the menu for a long time, dropped dirty cutlery, stained our clothes, and didn't even apologize, yet the tip is included by default.

Very disappointing. Every plate, every piece of meat and rice lacked flavor. overpriced and did not deliver. Lamb, beef, chicken all were dry

We went as a family to a Turkish restaurant that was doing good business in the middle of the city.The portions are really small compared to other Turkish restaurants and NOT like the others.The service is already bad, they have literally cut down on the materials.I have never seen such a cheap Turkish restaurant in the heart of New York City before. Neither I nor my family will ever go there again. Also, I felt sick after the meal. It really bothered me. The rice they put with the kebab was mushy and cold.My family and I will never go again I will tell the people around us because for that price there are much better, better quality, clean Turkish restaurants to go to.EVER NEVER AGAIN

The worst Turkish restaurant ever, I have spent $109 for only 3 items here money is not the issue the meat and the salmon was tooo dry and was stinking so bad that I had to throw it away. Their bread and calf liver was dried out as well. In addition I’m having a bed stomach because of this crap food. I have spent thousands on Turkish restaurants but this one omg the worst restaurant in my entire life. I should sue them because of food poisoning m having now.

I had a very unpleasant experience here. The service felt discriminatory — the waiter greeted white customers with smiles and friendliness, but spoke to us in a cold and rushed manner, asking things like “What do you want?” and “Are you done eating?” The food was underwhelming. I ordered the lamb Adana, which was tough and difficult to chew. The rice was clearly not fresh — it tasted like it was made the day before. The rice pudding was decent, but nothing special. To top it off, they refused to serve Turkish tea 40 minutes before closing, even though other tables were still drinking theirs — which made no sense. Also, be aware: they add a 20% tip to the bill automatically, without informing you. Definitely not worth the price or the treatment we received.
