Mid-Town Hell

by lipstain

I wish I could give this place 0 stars but it seems one is the minimum. I just went here with three friends and we had a terrible experience. The food was decent, but the prices were high. In addition, two of the four of us found multiple hairs (absolutely not our own) in our food, and another one of us had a dirty wine glass (lipstick stains all over it).

We brought our own wine because we had read that this was a relatively inexpensive BYOB place. Instead, there was a $12 corking fee, per bottle! Slightly overpriced considering the $1-$5 fees elsewhere in the city. Additionally, the service was horrendous. It took forever to take our order, we were offered neither an apology nor a reduction in the bill for the hairs in the food/filthy wine glass.

Then, to cap off a disappointing meal, we were told that they their credit card machine had broken and we needed to pay with cash. They did not tell us this when we first arrived, which we found rude, so several of us had to walk to a bank, in the rain, and take out cash.

All in all, this combination of unfortunate events made for a disappointing meal at best. Don't give this restaurant your business. If you must, try to order carry out, ask them to place the doggy bags outside the door, and run away, so that you don't have to deal with the indifferent, unapologetic waitstaff, slow service, and filthy utensils and food.

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: service, hairs in food, high corking fee, everything

The best Turkish food in NYC!

by danielleanselmi

I simply loved it there!

The food tastes really like a homemade one, so delicious!!!!! Every single dish that I tried surprised me and the best thing, the price was very very good.

I always go with my baby in a stroller and they treat us nicely and very kindely. I feel at home there!

Try the baked rice pudding, it is amazing! And to finish, order a turkish tea, because even a simple tea is special in this place!
