The freshly baked bread is one of a kind, brings one of a kind eating experience. The Lamb dish was better than another restaurant I visited because in this restaurant it comes with a huge dish with other items, so I get more food for the same value. This is one of a kind restaurant, absolutely orifice Turkish food, made by Turkish people. How fun is that, honest authentic Turkish food without having to travel there for the experience.

So. Damn. Good. I got their hummus as an appetizer and mixed platter and 6 hours later, I'm still…read moreso full. Thr chicken and kebabs were so incrincredibly flavorful and the rice was as well. But the star of the show was the bread and hummus. My god it was so good, I couldn't sstop eating it!!! I also got the apricot juice and unlike regular american juices it wasnt that sweet. i was really able to taste the natural flavor of the apricots! The waiter was really nice, explained the menu and kept checking up on us. Honestly, I'm already looking forward to going back. If you're really hungry, get the mixed platter!! You won't regret it.

Delicious Turkish spot in Astoria…read more Ordered the mixed appetizer with Turkish bread, the lahmacun, and the mixed grill with assorted meats. Everything was fire! Well seasoned and packed with flavor. The mixed grill had a great variety of different meats and the lahmacun pizza was like a thin crust lamb pizza. But the real star for me was that Turkish bread. Pillowy, warm, and crispy at the same time. I'd genuinely come back just for the bread alone. It's that good.

Went to Kebab House for lunch today and it completely exceeded expectations. We ordered a pretty…read morewide spread: grilled salmon, hummus with fresh bread, chicken Adana kebab, grilled octopus salad, grilled eggplant, and grilled wild trout. Every single dish was outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It was so good that we ended up doubling down and ordering another round of hummus plus two orders of chicken chop kebab to take home for dinner. That alone says everything. Each entrée came with rice and a side salad, which rounded things out perfectly. You can tell there's real attention to quality here--the chef clearly knows what they're doing, and we were told they only use premium-grade ingredients, never select. All the baking is done in-house, which shows in the freshness of the bread. What really stands out is how the food manages to be both incredibly delicious and genuinely healthy. Lots of olive oil, grilled preparations, minimal saturated fat, and great sources of omega-3s like the salmon--it's the kind of place you can eat at regularly without feeling like you're overindulging. The staff were just as impressive--attentive without being overbearing, checking in often and making sure everything was right. Honestly, if eating like this all the time is an option, it feels like a solid strategy for living long and well.

Came in for dinner, and wow! Delicious food, and excellent service, and a wonderful evening! For…read morestarters, the bread is out of this world! We had sigara borek and hummus as appetizers, and the hummus in particular was so fresh and flavorful - definitely the best hummus I have ever had. We ordered a couple of entrees and unfortunately the wrong food came out. We didn't initially realize and thought they had put out two meals on the platter (and they were just small portions) and included some extras as well, until our waiter came over a few minutes later and apologized. Unfortunately, because we received the mixed grill instead of our two chicken entrees, the solution of charging us the price for the mixed instead of our two meals only took roughly $10 off the bill but resulted in us having less than half of the food we otherwise would've had. That aside, the food was delicious enough that Kebab House still warrants five stars and we will be back, just more aware of what to expect as far as portions.

This Metropolitan Avenue location is actually more beautiful and spacious than the Forest Hills…read morespot on Austin Street--but unfortunately, that was the only positive. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand. To start, the service is completely impersonal. Don't expect a smile or any real interaction beyond being shown to your table or having your order taken. Food: The food is bland overall. The bread served at the beginning is clearly microwaved to warm it. The lamb gyro isn't sliced from a rotating grill; it's reheated in a microwave. At first, my husband and I thought the staff was just warming up their own food, but we quickly realized the microwave went off after nearly every order. The chicken in the chicken soup was extremely overcooked--so much so that it tasted like chunks of tuna rather than chicken. The meat pie was also disappointing: soggy and not properly cooked. Save yourself the time and go to the Forest Hills location instead. At least there, you can actually see the food being freshly prepared rather than reheated.

Great neighborhood Turkish spot! Been here several times and can't believe I hadn't reviewed them…read moreyet! Ambience is clean, open and bright with tasteful minimalist decor. Service is always spot on and personable here regardless if they are busy or not. Must orders here are the several varieties of fish, but for those who eat Americanized fish, they take the head and tail off but the fish fillets are not your perfectly squared of pieces. The fish is grilled to perfection and simply served with a side of either grilled veggie, yummy pilaf rice or French fries. The octopus stew is the most buttery and tender octopus you'll ever have and who can not forget their kabob selections whether you do the chicken or lamb! Stick with the mix grill plate for both though so you get to try a selection of them all. End the night with some hot Turkish black tea or string Turkish coffee with a sweet piece of baklavah or a digestive night cap of Raki mixed with a little water and you are good to go! Can't wait for my next dinner here!

When we sat down, we were served pita and tzatziki sauce. It was good! We ordered off of the lunch special. I had the Kubideh Kabab and my friend had the boneless chicken Kabab. The kababs were not dried out and they were very tasty, well seasoned, and not salty! With the lunch special, you get a choice of lentil soup or salad. I went with the soup and I'm glad I did! It really hit the spot since I haven't been feeling very good lately. We shared an appetizer of falafels. To be honest, it was a bit too dry for me. The service was great and our waitress was very nice. She gave us plenty of time to look at the menu and order. The restaurant is quiet overall but there isn't a lot of seating available. There's a shared parking lot but it's crowded. The food was amazing but I don't like looking for parking when I'm hungry. Just kidding. I'll stop by again!
