Just having returned from a trip through Turkey, we were excited to go on a epicurean trip down memory lane. And we did. The anchovies were delicious, the mussel dolmas had good flavor, but were a little greasy and surprisingly cold (in Istanbul they are hot, delicious and sold for fifty cents from vendors on the street.) The octopus salad wasn't well seasoned at all and was quite oily but the onions were sweet and the octopus was tender and very well cooked. If you like garlic breath, you'll love the yogurt with dill AND the eggplant salad, both seemed to be flavored solely with garlic. All in all it was pretty tasty, somewhat overpriced and neither of us felt particularly good after dinner (if you know what I mean.) We never once got sick in Turkey BTW.... Would probably try a different place next time. read more

3-4 STARS. Is it the best? No. There is far too much carelessness for it to be given that label. However it is Turkish, and thus Usurps Greek cuisine by an insuppressible margin. The Hunkar Salmon used to be much better. The taste is less smokey, less intense, but then again it's what you get when your clientele know nothing about food. A go to if you want high caliber cuisine without leaving the neighborhood. read more

Liman Restaurant - The view is awesome. - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I cannot argue that the food is good at this place. Fish is simply amazing, my husband tried the steak and that was good too. I am giving 4 stars because every time we come here, the waiters are gathered on the main floor with guests - RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU... So annoying, they can hear your conversations, looking at your every move like hawks- oh and the worst part is when they speak among each other which creates more noise than usual. I feel that's unprofessional and disrespectful to the guests at the restaurant. Hope they will change read more

We live in the neighborhood and always have chosen Liman as our go to place for fish. Even though it is kind of overpriced, it doesn't matter as long as we are having a good time and a nice experience. Unfortunately today was completely different. We were a party of 6 plus a toddler and decided to go to Liman for lunch. The hostess treated us very poorly. She was rolling her eyes at us, giving attitude for no reason and threatening that we could go inside if we did not like the table by the door that she gave us. We understand that if they are busy and have no space but they were not and had between 5-7 empty big tables. After telling us we could not bring the stroller inside, we asked nicely if we could sit in another table because the table she put us was right between two doors and we did not want the baby to get a cold. Even if all the other empty tables were reserved, there's still a different way to treat a customer. We simply felt not wanted. Fortunately for us there are many amazing restaurants in the area. We left and had a great fish in a newer, modern restaurant where we were treated with a smile and compassion. However me, my husband, our family and friends will never step foot at Liman after today. Funny how one person, single handed, can ruin a business by turning away one customer at a time. read more

I can definitely say Liman , One of the best Turkish restaurant in Brooklyn! They have amazing tasteful foods. As a Turkish person I can not see big differences between foods in Liman and any Turkish restaurant in Turkey. I also love their hospitality and warm welcoming. read more

Excellent as usual. Service is impeccable. Food is superb. I highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely return. read more

Very nice location ! Surprisingly a lot of parking around on Sunday night , fish was very good , the only two things that took a star of from the review are : service ( long waits due to the shortage of servers ) and the second was the green hot tea that we waited for 25 minutes came warm and not boiled. read more

Liman Restaurant - Grilled Bronzino - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

I admit that I havent been here for a few years, because whenever I've been around the area lately, it's always via public transportation and it is a good hike down to Sheepshead Bay. However, this place is amazing. We originally walked into here about five years ago when my sister was visiting me in Brooklyn, and I wanted to better explore Sheepshead Bay. We got off the subway at Sheepshead Bay and kept walking until we found a good-looking place on the water. We were there at lunch time and had no idea what to expect. Likes: The hummus, the whole lightly pan-fried fish (I think we got snapper, but whatever we got was delicious and perfectly cooked), the amazing local atmosphere. Dislikes: Okay, I admit that we first went here for a weekday lunch and as two young Southern girls, we were slightly intimidated. I remember a lot of guys in suits. But we sat outside and the waiter was friendly and helpful and we had a great time. Take it or leave it: Take it. Fabulous. So fun. I've been back several times and taken my whole family here. I want to make the 15 hour drive from Atlanta to New York right now just thinking about it. read more

Excellent Turkish food. Good shrimp. You really can't go wrong w/ shrimp. HOWEVER, the space is tight. read more

This is my second review for this restaurant. The first one i gave it a 4 star because it was very nice and i had a nice experience out of it. This was a totally a different experience. We made a reservation and when we arrived there they put us a table that we didn't even anticipated. We asked for a table outside since the first time it was nice. They told us that tables outside were first come first serve lol and not if you had a reservation. So why do u have a reservation for a table in the corner lol??? They put ppl outside after us outside but they couldn't accommodate us. They told us that those tables were reserved months ago. This was not true because the first time we went there we made the reservation the same day. They were were very busy and when they are busy they don't give a crap about their customers. The hostess was very rude and also the service was slow. Do not go there on a busy day and don't ask for any tables because they won't give it to you and don't even bother making a reservation because it does not mean anything. Only because of their attitude i would not go back there even if the food is good. read more

Excellent food and great staff!! Everything was delicious, a little pricey but that's the cost of quality!

Four of us shared a Turkish chopped salad and an unusually delicious roasted eggplant appetizer to start our meal. Both were really great; I especially enjoyed the chopped salad, which was bursting with flavor (and full of cheese and oil). We all decided to get fish for our main courses. I chose the pan-friend mullet: there were five small fish and a small green salad on my plate but no rice or vegetables. (I was surprised and a bit disappointed by their absence.) The fish were tasty, but the small size meant that I had to work hard to remove bones of each fish in exchange for a relatively tiny reward. I tasted a companion's shrimp kabob -- the shrimp were grilled and were quite good, and they were served with rice and a salad. I also snagged a taste of the St. Peter's fish, which I did not find to be exceptional. The beer choices were abysmal (Bud, Bud lite,...), but there were some interesting-looking wines, the majority from Turkey. I had a glass of a Turkish sauvignon blanc and found that it went well with all the food. Parking in the area is essentially non-existent. Valet parking (available only on weekends) is the only rational course of action. The table service struck me as a strong point. Lots of people were running around to pour water, bus plates, deliver food or help out. Our waiter deboned the St. Peter's fish for one of us -- it was a lot of work. This restaurant is an order of magnitude better than Efes in Princeton, NJ, another Turkish restaurant to which I awarded four stars. Nonetheless, I consider the ratings to be correct -- it's all about the context. I went to Efes three times over a two-week period; I look forward to my next visit to Liman. read more

Liman Restaurant is one of my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn, Atesh was serving so good by bringing all the necessary things on time, we did not wait to much, foods are so delicious and price is normal. I highly recommend this place to All, especially Atesh from Uzbekistan. read more

It doesn't have views of Kas and heavily Russian clientele doesn't help with letting your imagination take you to Turkey's coastal town either, but the food and service is on the level. Everything we tried tasted delicious, but the fresh seafood and kanafeh is outstanding. I am a sucker for this dessert dish, but couldn't find anything remotely as good in nyc area so far (please holla if you know some other place) read more

I have been here at least twice, with a large party both times. The food: It is a seafood restaurant and I found the seafood to not be anything extraordinary. It was also not terrible either, so I'm torn! But My parents really do love to come here though. Service: It was pretty standard, nothing above average. Atmosphere: it has a whole "sea/ocean" theme going on through out the restaurant. It is not a very fancy suit and tie type of place, although people in my party did dress up. Overall: I would only come here if someone requested my presence at this establishment, e.g., birthday parties or holiday celebrations. I would rather venture out to the city for seafood, than return here on my own behalf because the food never left me feeling like I wanted more. But do give it try and decide for yourself. read more

Hands down the best seafood place in the neighborhood. Everything is delicious & they are know for their fish. There are a few types & all of them are so good! Two words, grilled octopus! Whether you get it as a meal or on the side, just get it! Their fried calamari & spreads are also mouth watering. 10/10 must try! read more

delicious fish! the service was great! nice and welcoming staff that suggested some dishes that turned out to be good. I would go here again. read more

Best fish in brooklyn, st petrs full on charcoal !!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!! read more

Food is great But the service needs to be better If you order the whole course- ur welcome If ur coming there for coffee and deserts even during the brunch time- they hate you! If you leave not enough tips for the waiter who doesn't treat you well, he is going to argue with you. Always ask about the cork fee and a cake fee. Yes, ur going to be surprised! They have a cake fee! They are always welcome to make a reservation, even if they don't have a table, be ready to wait. That is not acceptable for important events! read more

First time in here and we loved it. The place is charming. Everybody was courteous. The Borek ( turkish cheese roll) as hot appetizer was fantastic as well the octopus salad. We also ordered the lamb shish kebab and octopus casserole and I have to say not complain at all. As dessert we had the melted cheese with toasted coconut on top to die for. Everything that we ordered was delicious. Will comeback no doubt read more

My favorite Restaurant for Turkish / Middle Eastern food on this side of New York. The staff is friendly, the food is amazing, definitely get the salad, the fried liver cubes, the jajik (thick yogurt), bread, calamari... The prices are moderate to expensive but the portions for appetizers are pretty large. 15 dollar salad is a huge boat that can feed 4. The calamari looks like its a full meal. Bring friends and share because otherwise you will not have room for main course. Best to order main course after you eat the appetizers. if you feel you have room for more, then go ahead and order an entry... you will not be disappointed either. Anything that is grilled is amazing. Try the St. Peter, the Chilean Sea Bass ... what ever rocks your boat. Some mentioned the patrons being obnoxious and that's understandable... Friday Saturday nights at Sheepshead Bay bring some weird, funky and show off crowds with their expensive cars and their swagger. If you are having dinner come before 9pm otherwise you are almost guaranteed to run into the types described. I have eaten in most places in Brooklyn that serve Middle Eastern food... Sahara, taci Beyti as mentioned by others. I like Taci Beyti but Sahara... avoid at all costs... check out the health inspection violations on that one... Sahara has over grown... in my opinion as soon as a Restaurant grows larger than 150 plates, the food quality goes down. Sahara currently has room to sit about 300... and if you like over well done food go for it. read more

I've been coming here for years I brought my service dog with me tonight and I asked for a small piece of grilled chicken with those salt they wanted to charge me $30 so I said please cancel the order the manager came over and he's like what do you think it's free I'm like you want to charge me $30 for my puppy really never in my life have I been this appalled never again I'm a good customer read more

I came back a few weeks ago, and again, I was extremely pleased with the meal and the service. Our waiter from our previous trip here, Fatih, recognized us and greeted us warmly, like family! He even took a picture with us! Also, new waiter, Ozzy (Ozgen) was very friendly and treated us very well! Fatih, I am still waiting for that picture we took together haha! read more

The food is good but the service is lacking. There is a waitor there who has horrible manners. Unfortunately, this was my second experience with him at this restaurant. I didn't write a review after my first visit just so I could give this restaurant a second chance. As you can see, I was let down. During my first visit, my guest and I wanted to order desserts with drinks. He refused to serve us, and in a hostile manner, informed us that he wouldn't unless we ordered entrees. The restaurant was also empty, so you would think they would be happy to just have some business. After my guest and I expressed our dissatisfaction, he spoke with the manager who then allowed us to have our request granted. Our waiter showed his unhappiness about the managers decision by treating us very poorly. During our food selection process, he was rushing us and speaking in a hostile manner with added sarcasm. This made our entire experience dissatisfying. The food was good, but we couldn't enjoy it due to our experience that night. During my second visit, I was unfortunate enough to have the same waiter as before. I didn't request a new waiter just so I could give him a chance to redeem himself from my last visit. Unfortunately, he was just as bad as last time. After my guest and I sat down, he opened our napkins and LITERALLY threw them on our laps. I found this to be VERY disrespectful. Yet again, during the food selection process, he wasn't helpful and seemed to be in a rush even though the restaurant was not busy. When we asked him for a drink recommendation, he told us in a rude manner, "just look at the menu". He even gave us an attitude while we were deciding if we wanted regular water or seltzer water. We only took about 10 seconds to decide, but apparently that wasn't fast enough for him. During our entire dining experience, he only came to our table once to see if we needed something. We had to keep looking for him and just decided to ask the bus boys to assist us. Yet again, the food was good, but the service was horrible. read more

This is our first visit to Liman restaurant with my fiance. We were seated right away with no wait. the decoration of the restaurant gives it that feeling like you are at a seafood restaurant in Istanbul! We ordered eggplant salad, arugula salad, tarama, and ezme for appetizers and we enjoyed them all! I ordered the Bronzini and my fiancé ordered the lamb chops with grilled shrimp. Everything tasted absolutely amazing and it tasted fresh off the grill. They also carry turkish brand Alcohol drinks on the menu. The waiter cared for our needs and we had a great experience. will be back again read more

I'm so exacting of that place!!!! So tasty food,specially backed fish with a mushrooms and potatoes . And special thankful for the waiters ,they're been very gentle and take in care all the time . Love this place from the first visit!!!! read more

Fantastic view. Hit or miss on the food. Some of the entrees (the lamb) are mediocre and you need to tell the waitress not to overcook it. Every entree we has was ok to not so good. However, for appetizers, the tarama (codfish roe dip) was outstanding, and the fresh bread is excellent. I would go back for this appetizer and NOT order any of their overpriced entrees. Also, their waitstaff will take your plate away while you are still eating, so beware. read more

I called three hours ago asking for a nice place by the sea. To wait for a 9:30 reservation where the seats were in the front. She was mean on the phone so when asking for our seats I reciprocated. She said to wait 45 min, though the lady in the front told us kitchen closes at 10. I have never seen such an embarrassment in my life. If I handed her a fifty, I know she would have gave us those seats. I think someone else should be handling the phones and at the front. Next time, they should directly confirm there is not a place at the sea. The place also does not follow covid rules of six feet apart. Im glad I decided to save my 50$ spend somewhere else. As a Turkish person, I am very disappointed that she didnt try harder read more

Great service and delicious food. Definitely recommend turkish salad and St Petr's fish. read more
