One of the best Turkish restaurants in NYC!!!

by nyc81 at Citysearch

For sure, one of the best Turkish restaurant in NYC!!! The atmosphere is fun and great for people-watching. The waiters are also super-friendly and informative, and most importantly, the food is DELICIOUS!! I'm Turkish, so I know what I'm talking about. Everything, from the many appetizers, to the main courses, to the desserts, and the full bar with Turkish wines was fantastic!! Can't wait to go back!

• Pros: Location, service, FOOD
• Cons: NONE!

Favorite UES Spot

Beyoglu is my favorite UES spot, it is divine! Everything on the menu is amazing, so fresh with such great flavors! When you step into Beyoglu you feel as if you have stepped right into Turkey! Enjoy!

• Pros: The bread!

Come with a group so you can try everything

by noak11 at Citysearch

I went with a group of three people and we ordered 7 Meze (like tapas, small appetizer portions) to share. We had hummus, a tapenade of peppers and olives, falafel, a spinach yogurt sauce, these feta rolls, tomato soup with goat cheese- it was all delicious. And all of it served with unlimited fluffy, tasty bread. We all ate our fill and it only cost $45 total. Not bad for Upper East Side and a great place to sample great Mediterranean cuisine.

• Pros: Good Variety, Nice Ambience
• Cons: Can't think of any

Discriminating

by nidnodi at Citysearch

Called last night for a reservation for two persons and a baby in a stroller...

"Oh! My God! in a stroller!", "Yes, I would have given you a reservation if you were only two... we are very busy".

Not a family restaurant but still, I found the attitude quite discriminating, rather than proposing an hour when they are less busy...

I leave it to your appreciation... cannot give them a good rating.

• Pros: I though they had good food and good ambience
• Cons: Clearly discriminating busy people

Very affordable and excellent atmosphere

I can't believe this place is on the UES, it's a great place and very cheap. I recommend getting a sampler platter.

• Pros: Atmosphere

Great Food, Great Service, Great Prices...Need anything more?

by jennpss at Citysearch

My husband and I have been here several times, and really enjoy the food and the atmosphere. We usually just get a bunch of Tapas and share. Love their hummus, and feta rolled in phyllo dough! We typically go on Fridays and it is really busy, but we have not made reservations and we luck out with getting a table rather quickly! The service is very good.

You can eat a lot of food and have a few glasses of wine and not break the bank here! Their prices are very good!

• Pros: Great Prices!!

FUN-FUN-FUN

I rarely take the time to write a review , but i had to share. My company had its annual party at Beyoglu.

It was great. Different from any other year.. The food kept arriving throughout the night. The vodka we had ordered came incased in ice in the form of a giant cristal how did they do it? We were served platters of kebabs, and whole branzino, and stripped bass. The big surprise was the belly dancer,which danced with almost all( the ones that were not shy) that just transformed the entire room. The staff was attentive and welcoming, They told us that our party was on the same day as an important eastern islamic holiday, and they gave treated us with hommemade turkish delight. Everything was simply supperb. Most of us will be going back for New Years Eve , their menu is for the evening is amazing. Thanks Dan for choosing Beyoglu, and thank you Beyoglu staff. To all reading : I hope you all enjoy Beyoglu as much as us at AVIS New York.

• Pros: Great Managment. Friendly attentive staff.
• Cons: None.

Best Value on the East Side

by upereastside at Citysearch

We just came home from dinner at Beyoglu.Althouh we hadnt seen each other we did not stop talking about beyoglu all the way home.Great service, the staff was attentive and very friendly. We had two different types of Turkish red wine , great recomendation by the manager( both at 30$) the best grilled Branzino for only 19$ . they are famous for their mezes, deffinately the best type of tapas we have sampled. For dessert they served an assorted platter ,it was sweet but not overpowering. The best thing is that thy took time to show their culture in a modern new york environment.At the end the staff was thankful for our interest , when we were the one that had a meal enjoyed our evening.. Thanks guys. We cant wait until New Years Eve , to be thir again..

• Pros: Everthing was great
• Cons: a bit crowded and noisy

Delicious food, great decors, and fantastic atmosphere

by aristotelus2000 at Citysearch

I did not expect to have such a great time at Beyoglu when I visited it this week with a big group of friends. The food is absolutely fantastic. Be sure to try the mezes and the shepherd salad, as well as the lamb shish kebab, which comes with delicious potatoes. The place is not expensive, and this is one of the few Turkish restaurants that actually offers authentic Turkish food and hospitality. The waiting staff was also extremely helpful. The manager is superb, and made sure our large company had a great time. We are definitely coming back to Beyoglu.

• Pros: Great food, nice Middle Eastern ambience, super staff
