AditiJune 1, 2016The food nearly brought me to tears. You can taste the love and authenticity in each bite. The octopus was cooked perfectly. The ali nazik was incredible. Can't get over that eggplant.
Deemah HDecember 12, 2016Perfect food and service,, the staff are so friendly,, the kebbe is awesome and the lamp kabab is so juicy and delicious 😍
Eray ErgencDecember 25, 2017Everything was perfect. Real turkish cuisine! I felt like i was at my grandma s house. Definitely try whatever they recommend. We loved the daily specials. Thanks for amazing food and merry Christmas
- Madina KassengaliyevaNovember 24, 2013Try the Ali Nazyk, the tender and flavorful lamb chops and definitely the seasonal simmered pumpkin desert! We were happily transported to Turkey for the duration of this very authentic dinner.
Ayça Ö.November 26, 2016We've tried patlican oturtma(eggplant appetizer), icli kofte(stuffed meatballs), stuffed mussels, tripe soup, lahmacun, palamut(a kind of fish). Authentic atmosphere was awesome. We really enjoyed👍🏻
Dr. N.sezgin özaytekinOctober 30, 2022They care about hygiene. The appetizers are very tasty. The staff is courteous and fast. Prices are normal. Roasted liver is my favorite
Yami AlonsoJune 1, 2016Wow. This food is exceptional. Words cannot describe the high quality meals. Must do: manti, octopus, baklava. You'll never forget this place #GEM
Wejdan ✨December 31, 2015Pretty much the best muhammara in the city! Maybe ever! Ali nazik was a great dish, minsed beef on top of baba ghanouge. I really haven't enjoyed my food as this time in so long.- Andreas CohenSeptember 7, 2019Focus on the Ottoman cuisine here and you’ll do well. Manti, Muhummara, Lebni, Adana, Turkish sausage, Calf’s liver, yum 😋
jon ferrerAugust 23, 2014The best Turkish food in Manhattan. Ask them to make a mezze platter of appetizers. Also the hunkar begendi (lamb w eggplant purée) is unbelievably good.
SunainaDecember 23, 2016Authentic food, everything was delicious - lamb kebabs, octopus, calamari, spinach with chickpeas and def try the pistachio baklava... Excellent customer service.
AmateurConciergeSeptember 3, 2019Bit of a hidden gem in Turtle Bay. Family owned, authentic Turkish cuisine. The braised lamb over eggplant is A1. Overindex on mezze
Maria VazquezMay 13, 2016The food is very tasty! The service was excellent. We were with a small child and the owner was very friendly with him. Octopus is a must!
Murat ÜlkerApril 9, 2016Sanki annemin yemekleri, hele türk misapirverliği takdire şayan // Reminds me of my mother's kitchen. It also comes with great Turkish hospitality.
Rewan PartiFebruary 20, 2016Excellent vegan options! Order the roasted red pepper dip, charred octopus and garlic shrimp. For mains order the lamb chops.
Kuzu Tandır (lamb, rice, see http://turkishfood.about.com/od/MainDishes/r/Turkish-Roasted-Lamb-Is-Called-kuzu-Tandir.htm) - is delicious. It's a must.
Liliane BeccariSeptember 10, 2015We ordered a mix of appetizers that wasn't on the menu... It served very well 2 persons. The highlight was the Fetta Cheese Borek 🍴🗽
Leo GreenfieldFebruary 18, 2016Everything from starters till desert. The waiters were all very helpful and friendly. Authentic Turkish dishes. Really "evde yemekler"
MelissaAugust 7, 2017micro-meatball stuffed manti dressed with garlicky yogurt sauce, dried mint in butter and a dusting of sumac and paprika.
Matt 👀January 30, 2015Octopus and marinated artichoke appetizers are fantastic. Semolina cookies are doused in buttery deliciousness
Berk KapiciogluNovember 8, 2014Their lamb shank is a giant portion and quite delicious. One of the better Turkish restaurants in the city.
Necmeddin M.KocatasJune 4, 2016Best Turkish food in NYC. Everything is delicious, good service and very very reasonable prices
Manan KakkarMay 28, 2016Youshould try the buttered noodles as a side with peppers, great flavors. The hot yogurt soup is delicious!
Noha AJuly 9, 2018Over rated and expensive. Paid 100 dollars for 2 persons without drinks. Small portions. Food is ok but we expected better after reading the reviews.
- AngelaOctober 17, 2014Delicious babaganoush, borek (mmm like salty mozzarella sticks), and if they have it, baby blue fish
Magdalena SnowDecember 21, 2013Been here few times till date, grilled octopus never disappoints, grilled lamb chops and roasted eggplant rock too!!!
- abbyJuly 18, 2011the hot yogurt soup is probably one of the best soups i've had in the city. everything's great. don't forget the baklava for dessert!
Excellent Middle Eastern food. The octopus and lamb meatballs were standouts.
Roy ZawadzkiDecember 28, 2014Had the chicken kebab. Authentic. Great for anybody craving some good meat.
- Leo GreenfieldFebruary 18, 2016Great Turkish dinner I often go to Turkey and it was like I've been to Istanbul
Matt EmreAugust 18, 2017Really friendly atmosphere. The employees really make you feel right at home
Always a must when we're in town. For dessert, order the Butternut Squash. You won't regret it.
Their chef must have changed. It isn’t the same Sip Sak anymore. Their kebabs are very disappointing and not delicious. Try elsewhere!
