Lamb doner on turkish bread was amazing. The best baklava that we have ever had. Can't wait to return.
The food was really good and nice for a lunch or late dinner. Very casual ambiance. Excellent service. Chicken kebab was excellent.
As I'm new to Hells Kitchen , I am exploring all of the amazing restaurants in the area . One style dear to me is a good ole lamb doner ( really the only time I eat lamb). This place has great ratings and is always crowded . I ordered some take out with high hopes ! Service is simple and be prepared to wait as it is crowded as mentioned . I ordered my doner with everything but unfortunately they left out the sauce which was not ideal . Aside from that , great place and big portions !! I'll be back but will certainly verify my sauces on the side to be sure :)
This place is a small restaurant with maybe around four or five tables only. We came here with recommendation by someone who lives close by and it was good! We tried chicken/ lamb Döners as well as falafel with hummus. I am guessing it is authentic and surely was delicious! With the meal they also served Turkish bread. Also very good. Yelp checkin and we got a free dessert. We opted for kazandibi which was like a caramelized pudding. Seating is rather limited. But they're trying their best.
I got the lamb gyro lunch special. It was very tasty and filling. The lamb was delicious, fresh and cut very thinly!
The lamb doner pita sandwich is delicious! Lots of meat with raw onions, lettuce and sliced tomatoes. So much meat, it's big enough for 2 small meals. Also had the Turkish chicken soup, which was just ok. Not salty but has an oily layer.
This is a small kebab place and is a little bit crammed sitting area. Hey!!.. that's the beauty of it. It literally welcomes you to the Turkish delight lol. That being said, their food is amazing. It was fast, fresh, and well cooked meat. We ordered the Lamb Doner and Chicken Adana Kebab. It was juicy and tender. It was purr-fect for 5 people who wants to explore a different side of NYC restaurants. I have had better authentic Turkish food from my hometown in Saudi Arabia and this place was almost close to that level. ;} Overall, their service was great, the staff, she was very friendly and engaging with my family which made them feel at home. Hey!!, that's all we want. When we go to a restaurant, we should feel like we are welcomed and to let them tell their story through food.
