    It's a bit pricey at first glance but once taste the food it's well worth it and brings me back to Turkey and Istanbul with its very Mediterranean style cuisine, the grill the seafood are all delicious!

    We were looking forward to Iftar on a Friday night during Ramadan. Because of the yelp page saying no reservations, we did not call ahead - our mistake. So while we were unable to be seated, we were able to place a takeout order. I felt the staff were genuinely apologetic that there were no tables available and were very accommodating with a takeout order. This 5 star review is mainly for the staff working very hard and being pleasant, as well as the tasty food. We tried a variety of items including desserts and were really happy. We hope to come back soon and have a seat in the dining room next time.

    Been going here since they opened! They have one of the best Turkish restaurants of Long Island. Especially since they opened the bakery part. I highly recommend the kazandibi!

    Great food. Been there several times. Every item is wonderful , starting with the still warm bread. The appetizers are all wonderful. Try the mixed appetizers plate. A dollop of each of the beautiful salads and dips. The kabobs are terrific as a wrap or a main dish. The gyro in yogurt sauce is killer. The greek salad was just picked fresh and with grilled chicken, a meal. Note, all dishes are huge and there will be leftovers to take home. The bake shop in the restaurant has as a huge selection of freshly baked cakes, cookies, and a selection of baklavas. The cakes are phenomenal as are the baklavas. The cookies are available as sweet or savory. The hazelnut cookies are rich, buttery, and flavorful. Service is friendly, professional, and attentive. Our favorite place for lunch, dinner, and baked goods to take home or bring to friends.
