Istanbul Clinton Hill

Service and food were excellent! They have a lovely garden so the vibe was so perfect for relaxed dining. I absolutely loved the Mediterranean salad and the dips, and the mixed grill plate had an incredible variety of different meats that we all enjoyed.

Stopped by this place before a Brooklyn Storehouse event. Wow, the food was absolutely perfect. Simple, friendly, and great value. We just loved it. Can't wait to be in the area again.

Amazing Turkish Restaurant 😍 The food was superbly prepared and presented! the kofte kebab was cooked to perfection. Juicy and packed with flavor in every bite. Another thing I want to point out was the service , waitress served me above and beyond service , made me feel welcome and comfortable.🌸

Great service and setting, for a meal or a light snack! I came in and had an orange soda and pudding (the custard cream was on point 👌)

Easily one of the best Mediterranean spots I’ve been to in NYC. The chicken kebab was perfectly grilled — juicy, flavorful, and tender with that light char that makes it addictive. The rice was fluffy, the salad super fresh, and the pita came warm with rich hummus and creamy yogurt dip that tied everything together. You can tell they care about quality and seasoning here. Portions were generous, service was quick, and everything tasted homemade. Definitely coming back.

Great vibe. Generous portions. Welcoming service. - The restaurant has a beautiful backyard with seating in both shade and open sky. Background music is entertaining while allowing for conversation without the beed to speak loudly. - Food was good. We had a mixed grill platter and a falafel and hummus platter. The portions were generous and fed three people. Some grilled items were delicious, while others can improve a bit. - Service was excellent. Attentive without being intrusive. We didn’t have to wait much for the food to be served.

Tasted like home cooked Turkish food compared to most Turkish restaurants! Great hospitality and food. The mezzes (dips and salad) were really authentic. Especially loved the eggplant tomato. Just wish they had better Turkish bread to go along with it as it was just common pita. The manti (Turkish dumplings) was better than what we had in Turkey! There was a lovely backyard for outdoors seating too.

Great iskander, very flavorful. Service was awesome as well, they brought out some Turkish tea. Best Iskander since I was Istanbul, Turkey!

I visited a Turkish restaurant and was overall quite pleased. The place was very clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated — it felt nice to be there. The shawarma didn’t really impress me, but the dessert was truly delicious and made up for it. The atmosphere was relaxing, a great spot to enjoy a quiet meal. With just a bit more warmth in the service, it could be even better. Still, I’d recommend the place and would gladly return for the dessert and the cozy vibe.

We enjoyed the super tender and flavorful chicken shish and lamb gyro kebab combo. The olive on the house is so divine too!

Had plans in the area so made a quick stop for dinner here - and on a cold rainy winter night it was exactly what I needed! The staff was kind and attentive and our food was delicious. I had the lamb adana kebab, some Turkish tea, and baklava. Everything from the side salad down to the dessert were fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend for a hearty, affordable meal if you dine in or do take-out in the area!

One of the best Turkish restaurants I’ve been to on the city. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The kebabs were especially good, and the service was warm and welcoming. We had the most amazing tea and baklava. They also have a beautiful backyard perfect for warmer days. Will definitely be back.

Customer service was good in my opinion, but the wrap was great. This is obviously not my culture, they let me know if I have any questions to ask away. They gave some recommendations. The sauces they gave me were really good too. After devouring my meal I went back and out of curiosity ordered some other items.

This place rocks. Lamb Adana kebab was so good. The rice was great, the salad was PERFECT! Exactly as good as I had in Istanbul. And very nice patient friendly staff. Check this place out.

I catered from Istanbul Clinton Mediterranean in August for a small reception and everyone loved the food! The service was wonderful from start to finish. I placed my order online and someone called to confirm and delivery was right on time. I highly recommend this restaurant!

We hosted a birthday celebration here, and it could not have been more perfect! The food and drinks were fantastic, and the backyard space created such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. The team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of, which allowed us to truly enjoy the evening with our guests. If you’re looking for a beautiful spot with great service and delicious food for a special occasion (or even just a night out!), we highly recommend this place.

I get their chicken gyro wrap and not only was it the fastest delivery I’ve ever had in my life, it also tasted amazing. The actual wrap itself was freshly made (not out of a package) which made a huge difference in flavor. I didn’t even realize how much I miss the taste of fresh made wraps because YOU CAN NEVER FIND THEM FRESH MADE ANYMORE! The chicken was also freshly fire grilled even though I ordered right before closing. Long story short the food actually tastes like fresh real food The rice pudding is great too btw ! Will take pictures next time and update this review because this place deserves all the stars!

True Turkish hospitality! I had an hour to kill in Clinton Hill on a cold Saturday afternoon and stopped in with a sore throat. The kind waitress noticed my raspy voice, suggested their chicken soup - it was hearty and comforting, and brought a honey ginger tea. I left feeling much better and will definitely be back for a full meal.

Lovely place! Good is nice and the staff is always welcoming and kind to me! Tuğba is a sweetheart. The first time I visited, her bright smile and answers to my questions made me want to come back. Definitely visit. The Hatay wrap and chicken wrap are my fave so far!

The food was delicious but the serving could’ve been better for the price($18). There was way too much rice and only 5 chunks of chicken. One of them weren’t edible because it was so hard. However this was the best rice I’ve ever eaten and I was full and satisfied nonetheless. I ordered for takeout so maybe it would’ve been different had I dined in. The counter woman was very kind and helpful in explaining the menu. The salad was amazing! There were no guests in the restaurant and the food took a little over 20 minutes so I can tell it was freshly prepared. The establishment was very clean and beautifully decored, I’m not sure if id go back to eat here because of the price for one meal but if I did id definitely want to dine in.

I come here during the summer and sit down to eat. Usually I get a gyro. Today, I ordered to go and received my gyro in a lavash. She asked wrap or sandwich. My goofy self thinks pita wrap, but no it’s a lavash. I ask her for pita. They take it back and return it to me as seen below…. I’ve eaten so many gyros, none this sloppy and bad. No care, just slapped together. I usually eat here with my coworkers since I work up the block, I can get a better gyro at the corner store across the street.
