We decided to have lunch here before seeing Lion King on Broadway and we were so happy! The place is adorable, the style so cute and the staff incredibly kind! Now let’s get to the important stuff. The food. I ordered the lamb shesh kabob, medium well, and it was cooked PERFECTLY! Like you aren’t chewing for years to get through the meat. It’s perfectly tender, and flavorful. My friend got the chicken shesh kabob and said it’s one of the best she’s ever had. The rice was buttery goodness. And fries had the perfect crispness. The Turkish bread was warm out the oven and mouthwatering. We didn’t get a chance to have dessert but will definitely be back next time we come to the city! Sadly we forgot to take our picture before we started eating.

Everything about this place was great. Food is amazing. As close as you can get to real Turkish food. Cold mezes are incredible, we also had Adana kebab. Charcoal taste just like in Turkey. Highly recommend it: servers are extremely kind and accommodating as well. Definitely worth giving them a try!

We had an amazing experience at this restaurant, thanks to the excellent service from the staff. We ordered the Sultan's Plate, which was perfect for two people. The highlight of our evening was their thoughtful gesture of decorating the kunefe to celebrate my wife's birthday. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

I had a great experience in this restaurant. Very friendly waiters and polite service. Most waiters also speak Turkish and were very welcoming. The food was fresh and authentic. However, I’ve a suggestion; maybe mayonnaise should be available. They only told us that they solely use ketchup. And maybe make the Baklava a bit sweeter. One of my favorite parts of this place was it’s atmosphere. The place was very cozy, with low yellow lights that would induce the feeling of warmth. Overall, it’s a great restaurant in New York City.

Nice and cozy family owned restaurant! Lamb was a bit too hard, I've had better marinated lamb. Lentil soup was on point and flavorfull, babaganoush was smoked well andndelicious. Complimentary tea for the wait.

After a long walk from Empire State came here for supper. Loved the ambiance and overall atmosphere of the place. Our order was the OG lentil soup and the mix grill platter for $47 which was more than enough food for 2 people, very generous serving. Very well seasoned and perfectly cooked Kebabs which are served with rice, salad and complimentary bread. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again to try more dishes!

Came here for dinner after a show and loved the ambiance and food. We ordered the mix grill platter for $47 and it was more than enough food for 2 of us. Kebabs were perfectly cooked and seasoned well and came with rice and salad. Complimentary bread was served as well. Service was very friendly and attentive. Will be back again to try more dishes!

Food and service was great along with a cozy atmosphere. Only complaint was the service was a bit slow.

This neighborhood has a charming spot that offers a delightful dining experience. The food is tasty, and the service is quite welcoming. The Shephard Salad was peculiar since it didn’t come with feta cheese. However, you can add it on the side for an extra $6, which seems a bit steep for a small amount of crumbled feta. We also enjoyed chicken kebab served with rice, salad (we opted for extra rice instead of salad), and stuffed cabbage entree. Both were delicious. For dessert, we indulged in rice pudding, which was sweet but enjoyable, accompanied by Turkish coffee and tea. All in all, it’s a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. **Just a heads-up: While tipping isn’t required, it has to be in cash if you choose to do so.**

Great atmosphere, neat decorations, service is good. The vegetarian stew is great. The salad is a bit salty. The lamb kebab is not bad not too much flavors. The price is higher but tip is not needed.

Turkuaz, A Disappointing Turkish Experience Unfortunately, this Turkish restaurant, Turkuaz, was a disappointment overall. The food was generally "just okay." The main letdown was the kebabs, which were not delectable at all, though I did find the chicken kebabs passable. The rice was also just average. Beyond the flavor, the presentation of the plates wasn't good, and the hummus was very regular (nothing special). Over priced as well.

A genuine treasure for anyone seeking not just delicious food, but an atmosphere that transports diners straight to Turkey. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully decorated interior with dim, ambient lighting that making the whole space feel warm. The dishes here are bursting with authentic flavor and freshness. The falafel, paired with creamy, smooth hummus, is satisfyingly crisp, though it’s worth noting the portion comes with just three pieces, leaving a wish for a little more on the plate. Chicken Adana kebabs steal the spotlight.

Place itself and atmosphere is very nice. But the service is horrible. The restaurant at 1230pm was basically empty. Only 4 other people including us there. Waiter never came to check on us. Our drink ran out. Never once showed up. My son had to go and tell them to bring water and the check. And the food was fine but no condiments were given with the food.

Workers were so nice, would come back just to hang with them. However, I felt the prices were a little too high for what you got. 3 mini falafels and hummus was $16. You do get bread, which is nice. They accommodate large groups well and have clearly marked gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options
