One surprising aspect was the bill; I could really feel inflation hitting my wallet. It used to be a very affordable spot, but now if you order without checking the price of each item as I used to, you might encounter sticker shock.
Also, pay attention to the check, as they’ve added a 10% service charge, which means you should adjust your tip accordingly to avoid overspending. If you simply add 15% to the final bill, you’ll end up paying more than you intended.
I really dislike the tipping and tax conventions in U.S. restaurants. It would be more straightforward if they followed the example of many other countries by listing final prices that include tax and service charges on the menu....
I was quite disappointed with my experience at the restaurant. The Lamb Doner had a really off-putting smell, and there seemed to be a lack of care in how the dish was prepared. The hummus tasted as if it were made with some kind of mechanical oil, and the falafel was overly mushy. I had invited a friend to join me for a meal, and I felt embarrassed by the quality of the food. As someone of Turkish descent, I couldn't even take pride in what is supposed to be authentic Turkish cuisine. Moreover, it wasn't inexpensive either. The only redeeming aspect was the white sauce (cacik). I would recommend that they consider changing their supplier to source better quality meat, but personally, I won'...
The service was prompt and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. The staff exuded a genuine passion for their craft, making me feel like a valued guest rather than just a customer.
I really liked this place. It reminded me of Istiklal Avenue in Istanbul and its eateries. If you want to taste some great middle eastern food in NYC, I definitely suggest this restaurant.

I went here with my family the day after Christmas. The food is amazing, though the restaurant itself a little cramped. It is New York City, so I guess that can be forgiven somewhat.
This restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but it's better suited for takeout rather than dining in. The prices are a bit high, but the food is good.
We discovered this hidden gem on the last day of our trip, and we were delighted by the excellent food and friendly staff, all at a great price.
Disgusting, didn't eat it at all and ontop didn't receive none of the drinks and because of doordash policy couldn't even get a refund

The Lamb Doner Turkish/Gyro was terrible. It fell apart as soon as I got it because the vegetables were placed on the bottom.
I ordered the Lamb Doner Turkish/Gyro, but instead, I received Adana kebab.
