What People Are Saying About Bereket Turkish Kebab House

In Short – From hummus and doner to tabouleh and every other pita-stuffer under the Turkish sun, this Houston Street stalwart whips up Middle Eastern standards. The kebab window, which opens onto Orchard Street, does business in the wee hours with the neighborhood's bar crowd. The rest of the time, the small seating area crams with customers looking for an affordable falafel fix. Warning to the gentle-palated: When they say "hot" sauce, they mean it.

Oh my godness. where do i start..I love this place. it has the best turkish food i've ever seen.. the gyro's, kebab's, and the desserts are GREAT! People that know what real food tastes like should go here...All this comments that you guyz wrote aren't true..This place has quality and it is somewhere you can go any time of the day. How many places can you find like Bereket? Let me answer that: NONE!

Great service and really nice FOOD! Recommended 100%.

The worst kebab and doner I have ever seen.

by DeryaG

As being aTurkish guy, I know how kebab and doner should be!. They are trying to screw you by serving the last part of Doner "cold" and "very small bad pieces". Also it was very dirty. WhenI think about these issues I never go again.. It is a very expensive "fast bad food" place

  • Pros: Nothing
  • Cons: Very bad Turkish food

Great Turkish food at low prices, 24 hours a day.

by sf6

Bereket doesn't look like much, but these people care about food and about their customers. Soem of the best Turkish food in the city can be found here - excellent kebabs, wonderful, smoky baba ganoush, savory soups. the room may be plain, but the food certainly isn't, and the staff is gracious and welcoming. One of my favorite places, any time of day or night.

  • Pros: great food, generous portions, low prices.
  • Cons: Plain room, self-service.

Worth going to only for certain menu items....

by nyc_bjk

I'll start off by saying that this is a FAST FOOD STYLE Turkish restaurant. Keep that in mind when ordering because not everything on the menu is worth getting here.... I'll explain in a second. You go to Bereket to get a doner (gyro) pita bread sandwich!!! Their doner sandwiches are as delicious as their lentil soup (a must try!!). Yes, the kebabs (chicken and adana) are good but you are better off going to a real sit-down Turkish restaurant (ex: Ali Baba) for an entree. But if you are in a hurry and can't resist then go for it because their chicken kebab is yum yum yummy! Oh and give the kazan dibi dessert a try.... it is truly something else! Once again people keep in mind that this is a fast food style place and do not expect them to serve you food on a silver platter.

  • Pros: Open 24/7
  • Cons: It gets very crowded late night
