I got what was supposed to be the combination platter of chicken gyro (half portion) - but I should've known because it seems to be A LOT to just be a 1/2 (there is a differencein pricing b/w the two that I chalked it up to misunderstanding). But nonetheless, it was really good AND I had left overs for dinner & lunch the next day. So that's always a in my book. Before the meal, you are given pitta bread, olives in oil as well as a white and red sauce (red is spicy). The service was pretty good - you weren't rushed AND the busser came to fill the glass of water w/o you having to ask. I sat outside so I didn't really get a vibe of the place but I'll definitely visit again and sit inside to get a better feel of the place

I was craving some lamb and stopped by their Bay Ridge location. I went for the Adana Kebab, which…read morewas a solid choice. The ground lamb was well seasoned, and the rice was smooth and fluffy. I wouldn't have minded if the lamb had a bit more juiciness and a stronger char. The small portion was maybe 8 bites of lamb so it more like a kid's plate to me. Next time, I'll just go for the large and save myself the guessing. I also tried the Lamb Shish Kebab, which unfortunately was on the dry side and was a little too tough for my liking. The hummus was really good, creamy, smooth, and packed with flavor. The pita was just okay, not bad, not great, just there. Service was friendly, and the space itself was clean and cozy, a comfortable spot for a casual meal. If I come back, I'd go for the Adana in large size, but skipping the shish.

When we arrived, we were surprised to see that it was a more formal setting as we were looking for something more of a quick takeout type of place. The restaurant is very nice, it has two dining room rooms and sit down service only for the dining rooms. We were approached immediately and sat down at a table by the window. When we explain to the waitress what we were looking for she let us know that we would be able to order gyros or wraps. We ordered two chicken wraps, and one lamb wrap, as well as lamacune. The wraps came with french fries, they were tasty and they came with a white yogurt sauce on the side. The Turkish pizza (lamacune) was delicious, each order has three pieces. The waitress brought us, complementary, hummus and yogurt sauce along with their fresh bread as a starter. Overall, the experience was good and I would go back to this restaurant if I am in the area.

It was easily one of the best bowls I've had in New York City and definitely competes with the food I used to eat while living in Dubai. I'll absolutely be back.

The quality of all of their ingredients is very good. You have the choice of making a salad, platter (rice based), pita, or wrap with your choice of protein. All toppings and sauces are displayed, and you can customize your entree with 4 toppings and sauces. Entrees average about $16 each so it's a bit pricey, but the quality is there! They also have soups, fries, and desserts. Service: Staff were friendly and welcoming. Ambiance: The place is very small with 3 small tables inside and a bunch of outdoor seating. Space is tight so it's not ideal for large groups. The tables inside can seat 2-3 at most. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

I started with the Fried Calamari, which is always an amazing classic with its crisp and flavor, but I was so excited to try the Mussel Dolma. I didn't know what to expect, so I was definitely surprised to see it was served cold. The combination of the mussel, rice, currants, and warm spices were truly immaculate and blended together seamlessly. For the main course, I ordered the Iskender Steak: a 10-ounce grilled Black Angus strip served over flatbread with brown butter, tomato sauce, and yogurt. Every single bite was rich, savory, and satisfying. I paired it with a side of their Cherry Rice, and I would've never thought to add cherries in rice... but let me tell you, this was easily my favorite dish of the night.. It added the perfect touch of sweetness to the savory rice, making every bite more elevated. To finish, I had their pistachio dessert served with a ladyfinger cookie, and it was the perfect light and creamy ending to an incredible meal. I would love to come back and order Rana's Table to get a sample of all they have to offer.If you're looking to try something beyond the usual dinner spots, Rana Fifteen absolutely deserves a spot on your list!

The inside of the restaurant is decorated nicely, however one of the lights above us was flickering for the entire meal which was annoying at first, but we eventually tuned it out. We both shared the Rana's Table. This was a really cool experience. This smorgasbord includes a sampling of 8 appetizers, 4 mezes, 1 entree, 1 side, and 1 dessert. For the entree we chose the Iskender Steak. For the side we got the Yogurt Potatoes. The dessert was chosen for us - some sort of pistachio mousse. All the food was good. Between the 8 appetizers and 4 mezes - some we loved, some were just ok. But a lot of that opinion is based on personal preference. If you're planning on eating here, bring your appetite and definitely consider the Rana's Table. Being able to try so many options all at once was a fun and unique experience. Service was good. Multiple staff checked in and took care of us.

Their lamacun was also the first I've ever had and it made me think: "Why haven't I had this before?" It was so good. Will definitely be coming back.

It's the kind of place that leaves you looking forward to your next visit.

On a long drive from the airport home, I decided to pop in and check out this beloved local Turkish spot known for dishing out, elaborate and amazing pide. I wasn't sure what to order so the cashier was friendly enough to recommend a few things, I went with the meat lovers. As I waited for my delightful oblong pizza to be baked, I was treated with the utmost Turkish hospitality and offered a cup of tea. I also picked up the baklava here, because it looked very promising. Honestly, the pide did not disappoint, it was chock full of vegetables and meat, and the cheese ratio was just absolutely perfect. Despite being such a huge baked item, it wasn't too heavy or doughy, which I appreciated and surprisingly because I was hungry I was able to demolish the whole thing in one sitting without feeling sick to my stomach. The baklava was also very good, heavy on the pistachio, which is just how I like it. Tea was served piping hot, and I enjoyed sipping on it as I veered out the window on a beautiful spring day. This is the spot to grab your slice of Turkish nostalgia. 10/10.
