    Grape leaves
    Gregory C.

    Started with an order of grape leaves. Decent amount but they weren't very flavorful. The Lavish Bread came out hot and fresh and served with tzatziki sauce was the highlight of the meal for me. The Greek salad was okay. My Chicken Kebab platter was hefty, but buried under the sauce amongst the actual chicken kebabs, were chunks of bread to give the illusion that you were getting a lot of chicken. I'd say the chicken kebab to bread chunk ratio was 50/50. That's a deal breaker for me. I won't be back.

    Hummus
    Joe G.

    Went here on Memorial Day weekend and the food was fresh and very tasty. The hummus was very good and the lavash bread was made fresh and came to our table steaming hot . We will definitely be back on our next visit here

    Mezze platter was astonishing. The "Pide" is cheese inside of a special tender bread. This place is authentic Turkish deliciousness.

    Delicious, authentic food at a great value. The owner was great. Want to come again and bring the family.

    Falafel plate with hummus and yogurt suave and salad

    Excellent! We didn't realize it was a sit down. But we are so glad we went in. The food and staff was phenomenonal. We had the ch imen Kebob plate, falafel, gyro and more.

    Chicken with cherry sauce
    Michelle K.

    4.5 stars. Good food and came timely during the crazy Labor Day weekend. We had chicken with cherry sauce. The chicken was a bit dry but the overall dinner was good. I would definitely come back to try another dish!

    I forget the exact name but it's some kofta dish with tomato sauce
    Tanvir H.

    The food is a little on the pricey side but overall it's been incredibly good. Would recommend at least coming by to check it out. Their staff are so kind and accommodating

    Wife and I decided to try lunch here for the first time. There was only one other party of three while we were there. Spacious, clean, open eating area and the wait staff was very friendly. We ordered a couple of Mediterranean dishes with soft drinks and was kind shock at the bill. This eatery wasn't a 4 or 5 star restaurant so I thought honestly the prices were way overpriced. Almost $70 for 2 simple dishes? For lunch? Come on now. Will we go back to dine? Don't think so but may return if the prices decrease a bit.

I found this place on Google which turned out to be such a hit. We tried calling in our order multiple times but always got a busy signal so we placed our order through Seamless and it was ready for pick up in 25 minutes. The portions here are large and the food is delicious! The chicken/gyro and rice platters are similar to NYC halal platters with large chunks of meat. The "crispy cheesy naan" is more like crispy cheesy paratha (flaky flatbread) which was yummy. The pita is also thick and fluffy! My group also loved the salads and falafel.

Meat was average. Salad was very fresh but pickles do not belong in a Greek salad. Replace with grape leaves. Lettuce also doesn't belong in this salad. Cheap canned black olives. Chicken over rice was good. Chicken over salted. Rice average. Garlic naan and pita were excellent. Best part of the meal. Homemade hot sauce also very good. Spinach feta rolls underwhelming. Baklava below average. Taste store bought. Overall food is okay but a little pricey.

We were pleasantly surprised with both the high food quality and friendly, efficient service. Seated outside at a comfortable table we shared an excellent crab cake with our cocktails. The 'Lake George Punch', was very nice. Our server, Jack, was on his game & could give lessons on on unobtrusive high quality table service with a smile and some pleasant conversation. The pulled chicken tacos and crab stuffed haddock were both excellent! Flavor, texture, doneness all top notch. We were caught up in the details of sauces, rice, and wonderful harcort verts (can't just call them a side of green beans). Unexpected in a hotel restaurant in a touristy area. All in all, with the July evening breeze blowing off the lake, a slice of lake view, and the bustling fellow visitors putting on a show just for us.... It was a very nice experience.

The Roti was spot on and not too oily. The family was incredibly friendly and service was prompt. You order inside at the register and they bring your food to you. The only issue I had is that the place needs some serious maintenance. The bathrooms inside were not well cared for. That's the only reason I had to take off a star. Definitely worth visiting, as long as you don't need a bathroom. Remember to tip well.

We ordered a couple of rice platters: chicken kabob, and the chicken + lamb mix, and both are heartily portioned, with a salad, and a heap of marinated jalapeños that my husband requested for a side since we are both spicy people. The kabobs are fragrant, and the rice slightly over-seasoned, edging toward flavor packet territory, but that didn't stop us from devouring both platters with zero complaints and zero leftovers. Is it my favorite NYC halal cart level good? No. But still quite tasty, filling, and generously sized. Excellent hot sauce too - not some weaksauce. I appreciate that the fresh squeezed plain lemonade comes in a huge tub and is just water and lemon - not the sugar bomb you typically get. Sugar is available for self-administration, or, if you insist, an artificial flavored syrup can be added (bubblegum flavored lemonade? Hmm I don't know...but I won't judge.) The also offer Hawaiian shaved ice, but I'm not banking on its authenticity. The outdoor patio is open in warmer weather.

So, we ordered the Channa Papree as the appetizer. Dinner choices were the chicken tikka masala bowl and the chicken bowl...both are served with salads. We were told that it takes about 25 minutes to prepare the tikka masala (in case we didn't have the time to wait). We did! It was Saturday and we grabbed a strawberry lassi to enjoy while we waited. There is a nice seating area near the entrance so we hung out in the big armchairs. The lassi was good; it could have been blended more as most lassi concoctions that I've had are very creamy with just the right amount of yogurt tang....this one was "ice-chunky". But it was still tasty. As promised, the meals were ready to go in about 25 minutes. They traveled well and were still hot when we got home. I really enjoyed the channa appetizer; lots of different flavor layers throughout with just a subtle hint of spice. I tasted the chicken tikka masala; well spiced cubed chicken over basmati rice (same rice that I had with my chicken bowl). Some of the chicken pieces were really big and the portion was definitely generous. My sliced chicken was also really good - different flavor profile from the tikka. Since the salad is served in the same container, it gets pretty warm....but it saves having a separate to-go box for a small salad. They also have an entire rolled ice cream selection - plus chai-inspired hot drinks and other desserts available. I wanted to try the naan and asked if we could order a side of it. Unfortunately, they still considered it "lunch" time and couldn't sell me a piece or two of naan. I found that a little weird, but I chalk it up to being a fairly new business. Plus, the girls that were working in the front - I'm guessing - are not related to the owners. Friendly and competent enough, but always embrace an opportunity to upsell! I'll be sure to check this place out again soon.
