    Amazing deal for two ppl. 1 bottle of good Turkish wine with all the Turkish appetizers (eggplant, hummus, etc) for $35! Get the Yogurlu lamb n chicken! Great spot for dates!

    The vegetarian white bean salad was delicious! They made it vegan for me by leaving out the egg.

    Quiet cute place with families & couples and waay better food than anything on 2nd ave. White bean salad, zucchini pancakes, shrimp casserole, rice pudding- delish meal for 2!

    Slightly disappointing... entrees all sounded good on menu but in reality, they were not + apps and desserts were much better, even if small + the staff seemed inexperienced, but all were attentive!!

    The meze is super fresh and the staff couldn't be nicer. A great restaurant all around.

    Very high noise level and tight tables. Good Turkish food but a mediocre wine selection. Seems to be popular with an older UES crowd.

    The guy waiter is a little slow on his feet. But makes a hell of a drink.

    First timer's tip: Don't tip the Turkish coffee back too far unless you want to end up eating the grounds.

    Mediocre entrees, decent meze & desert. Unless you are into gyro-tasting kebabs at a Greek diner, stay away.
