What happened to this place??? I took my mom here tonight…read morebecause we hadn't been in a while, and unfortunately, it was such a disappointment. I used to absolutely love this place, which honestly makes this experience even more heartbreaking. The crab cake was inedible, and I was especially disappointed with the halibut. I ordered it because it used to be my favorite dish--light, fluffy halibut with a beautiful, delicate sauce. Tonight, it came as two flat pieces of fish, and it was nothing like the dish I remembered and loved. I really hope this was just an off night, because this used to be one of my favorite places. It's hard to leave disappointed when you have so many great memories of a restaurant. I truly hope they bring back what made this place great!!

4-stars I have been here a few times. It's clean, has a nice atmosphere, servers were friendly but…read morenot over accommodating. The food is good, I found the prices for most of the items to be on the high side. They have a good wine selection, salads, pastas, Greek specialities appetizers, deserts and mains. I am not one that usually talks about the price of a dish although the 2 chicken skewers in platter with fries seemed high at $25 or $26 seems high. The food was good but not the best Greek food I've had. I would recommend them although it you have any wine or liquor with your meal I would say your bill will be north of $150 for two people.

Based on the recommendation of my chiropractor, I had lunch here earlier this week. Our server from…read moreMoldavia was friendly and attentive and suggested I try their most popular dish - the lamb lulya kebab which is ground lamb that is not overly spiced to allow one to taste the meat. It is served with rice and I found it to be a lighter than its Turkish equivalent. It was served with rice. We also ordered Turkish bread that was served warm. The dining area is comfortable and welcoming. Because this restaurant is set back from the Coney Island Avenue next to a liquor store it is easy to miss - but don't - it's excellent!

I ordered the Journey to Baku salad, the Turkish bread, and the Guru Khingal. The salad needed a pinch of salt, but there was a shaker on the table and with that addition, it was a decent refreshing appetizer. It's sort of a spread so I would recommend ordering some bread to eat with it. The bread came out steaming hot and smelling amazing. It was soft and fluffy on the inside and delicious. I took the extra home and ate it all immediately when I got there. Delicious bread. The Guru Khingal is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in New York City. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, as I have never eaten this type of food before. The tender, handcut pasta seems to be layered with flavorful lamb fat like the most decadent possible buttered noodles and the ground lamb topping is rich and perfectly seasoned. The yogurt sauce gives the dish balance. It's a fairly large portion that could easily be shared between two. I highly recommend this spot, the glowing reviews are not exaggerating at all. I often like to try new and unusual restaurants, and sometimes I enjoy them mostly for the novelty. That was not the case at Village Cafe. My meal here was delicious and I am eager to return, even with the 75 minute commute from north Brooklyn.

I asked to be moved more inside and we sat down. The girl from the wait staff sighed loudly when pouring our water glasses. Very rude. Then, we noticed three other tables with couples didn't have food. They took looked miserable. My husband said to me this place was a far cry from what we expired months ago. I opened my menu and it was badly stained and grabbed another. This was worse than the other as the page was ripped in half that I couldn't read the appetizers. How can you present this so poorly to people? We overheard more than one wait staff complaining loudly that someone was late in arriving. We assumed the kitchen was backed up, hence their unprofessional complaining and ill planning for the holiday. We opted to walk out and leave. They were visibly happy to see us leave. Awful! We will NOT be coming back. We had a wonderful time across the street at Salty Dog and were treated like valuable patrons; not ignored.

Came back twice since so that tells you something. I always get the chicken gyro. It's juicy, actually seasoned, not that dry rubbery chicken you get at some of these places. She does the bowl and builds it however she wants that day, and the portion is honestly too much food. I'm not complaining but I couldn't finish mine and I usually finish everything. Everything tastes fresh. Like made when you order it, not sitting there all afternoon. Price is good. Really good actually for the amount you get. Comes out fast too, even when there was a few people in line. Place is clean, kinda modern inside, nice enough to sit and eat. The staff is what really got me though. Guy behind the counter was so nice both times, explained the whole menu when I had no idea what I wanted and didn't make me feel rushed at all.

Solidly okay. Then again, anything after a six hour journey from Delaware to New York is going to…read moretaste pretty good. Honestly, it is hard to say. The food tastes fresh, and it is a nice portion, but the problem is the meat carries barely any flavor. In my Doner sandwich, I mostly tasted the sauce I asked for and the cheese, with the meat largely taking a backseat. I also did not like that the meat I got was not shaved off into the sandwich, rather the employee took the scraps off the turn and gave me those. At first I thought maybe that is how it is done here, until I observed another customer getting their meat shaved right off the turn instead of getting it like I got mine. It creates an unfavorable appearance if you ask me, and unless someone explains it to me, I am going to have to think this is an act of preference and favoritism. This "Turkish Chipotle" seems to be what they are going after, but I am going to be honest, if I want good Turkish food, I am going to walk a few minutes up the road, a left turn on Emmons Avenue, and have a much tastier meal and an overall better experience at Opera Cafe. Even after a six hour journey.

This place opened recently, and when I first tried to go on a Saturday evening it was absolutely…read morepacked, so I decided to come back the next day instead. When it's not packed though, there's actually a decent amount of seating. They also clearly renovated the space; the restaurant and even the bathrooms looked really clean and modern with nice tile work. I ordered both the chicken shawarma and the lamb/beef shawarma platter. The chicken was excellent; juicy, flavorful, and definitely the standout. The lamb/beef was decent, but a little tough for my taste. The rice was okay, nothing special. I also got the shepherd salad, which was clearly fresh, but it had cilantro in it, which caught me off guard since that's not typical in most shepherd salads I've had. A little label or warning would go a long way; or preferably a small cilantro-free version for people like me lol. I ended up coming back again to try the chicken shawarma sandwich, this time with just tomatoes on their homemade bread, and honestly that was amazing. The bread came out hot with a crispy exterior and really made the sandwich stand out. The staff was warm and friendly both times I went, which definitely added to the experience. Portion sizes aren't huge for the price, but they're still reasonable overall. Definitely worth trying, especially the chicken and the homemade bread.

It's the best sandwich in NY. I've tried this combination at other Halal carts and it never compares this place. Their lamb is seasoned much different than any other halal cart.

If you're in Bay Ridge or looking for some late night snacks, come here at this Brooklyn landmark. Definitely one of my favorite places in south Brooklyn. Cheers
