First off, the cafe and decor are beautiful. There are three distinct spaces- the upper level hookah lounge, lower level cafe & restaurant, and the backyard outdoor area that is still covered in the rain. The menu item that caught our eye was the Cig Kofta, or Vegan Kofta. Served cold as an appetizer with large Romain leaves and small slices of tomato and a raisin rich vinegarette, this was very filling for two people, especially when paired with hummus and bread. Service was attentive and helpful, especially considering we were learning what half of everything on the menu meant. read more

The baklava wasn't fresh and honestly not great. Charging $3 for one piece and $10 for three is ridiculous. Those prices are completely unjustified for the quality. It's simply not worth it. read more

Had a wonderful relaxing morning here. The food was delicious and the staff was very kind. This cafe is also very pretty. Highly recommend

I was excited about there being another NYC option for Turkish "mixed breakfast" (serpme kahvaltı), which is surprisingly hard to find in the 5 boroughs. Some dishes were good, but there were a few misses as well. The cafe itself is pleasant, and from what I can tell, seems to function as a meyhane in the evening. I was excited about beginning breakfast with a simit or poğaça, but my biggest complaint is that the only breads on offer are bagels and plain white bread (other than böreks). With Turkish breakfast being based around spreads and cheeses, bread options are key. The breakfast tabağı was standard, with the typical variety of cheeses and olives, and two small but very tasty pieces of sigara böreği. The menemen was pretty good. read more

This place opened a few months ago and i went a few times to try different things. The liver was usually great. However, I went in today and it was awful. Like they changed the way it was made, or the chef was different. Overcooked, did not even look like it was deep-fried. I sent it back. To their credit, they removed it from the bill without any resistance. I attached a picture to compare. Service was fine. read more

Was craving eggs Benedict and found this neighborhood cafe. Their eggs Benedict do not have ham, only salmon or avocado available. Their Turkish coffee was not fantastic. Fries were amazing. Would return to try their dinner menu. Their waitresses were super sweet and friendly on. Sunday morning. read more

We walked in and were greeted immediately and given a choice of where to sit. The patio outside was small, but beautiful! It reminded me of a posh little secret garden. So adorable! The hummus and Turkish bread was great! We also got the Loquma Gyro Taco Bites with lamb. The lamb was dry, but we added the hummus to it & that saved the dish. The lamb was on top of a soft taco, which was definitely different. The waitress was sweet and attentive. I would come back again. read more

Loved the decor and ambiance. Very clean, new place. Only 6 months old. Adana kabab was juicy and tender. Complimentary bed was ok. Serving size for kabab was good considering this was a small plate. Turkish tea was excellent. Could do better with dessert. read more

If I could, I would give 0 stars. My second experience here at Loqma and I came here for the sole purpose of a friends birthday last night. Rest assured, you are not missing out on anything special here. The first time I went to Loqma, there was way too many people and the music was exceedingly loud. I could barely hear my friends who were sitting next to me and we had to result into texting each other in order to communicate. Last night for our friends birthday dinner we were informed that there was a "fixed menu." However, as soon as I sat down at 8 PM, I waited nearly an hour and a half for a GLASS FOR MY WINE -- strike one. My friends enjoyed their wine in their wine glasses and I was advised by the waiter that the "dishwasher cycle is almost over." As we continue through the evening we first have a "mezze platter" which consisted of tzatziki, ezme and hummus. I actually enjoyed the ezme, yet, the tzatziki and hummus were awfully bland. I thought I was eating cardboard paste or emulsified paper of some sort. Not to mention, we had to beg the waiter for 4 pieces of bread for a table of six. If you bring mezzes out, bring the bread with the mezzes. That sums up strike two, carrying on to strike three now. The establishment then proceeded to send out two types of French fries. One was spicy of some sort which was sub-par, and the other I barely touched because it had a block of feta cheese on top and some parsley flakes. I have been to many fixed menu parties and this was beyond a scam. I have attached an incomplete picture of what was served for a table of six as the main dish. There was one lamb chop, 3 chicken kebab pieces, one chicken and one regular adana and some shaved chicken pieces that basically looked like someones leftovers thrown onto one plate. Oh and one puny portion of rice. Maybe they expected us to count each rice grain and divide it amongst ourselves? What a joke. Our table never received a salad that we asked for as well. Nevertheless, having dinner come to our table at approximately 10:38 PM and cold is disgraceful. The hookah was very good though, I will not hesitate on that. The owner sits in the corner and sulks, has a staring problem and had a nasty attitude. When it was time to pay the bill, we were informed that it would be $75pp, however, the amount was magically doubled per person and I was in awe. To what extent does what you put out on the table justify the amount you charge? Basically the biggest scam artists. I will make it known and make sure to never set foot in this horrific place again. Disgraceful and embarrassing. read more

I have never tasted a worst meat then the lamb shish here. Shepherd salad was second worst. But the lamb meat is inedible.

Quite modern,well decorated and clean place with a large menu option for everyone's taste! Comparing the negative reviews(which has made pretty long ago) I had a phenomenal experience with my date. There must be a big change with a lot of efforts has paid by the owner. Attentive service,well prepared dishes and great hospitality. There is a hiden backyard with a very romantic touch ,well designed.just perfect for a date and relax. Home made meat dumplings (manti) and chicken gyro plate worth to try. read more

The burger was soooo bad! And prices was owerprised! Definitely not recommend this place! read more

This is a relatively new, recently opened place but already seem to gather quite a following and many glowing reviews. Placed an order for delivery through UberEats and it was prepared fast, delivered perfectly packaged and still piping hot. We ordered a traditional Turkish Coban Salad with feta and it was awesome-portion was big enough to share, contained great quality, fresh vegetables, plenty of delicious savory feta, dressing was light but very flavorful. 5 out of 5 Must Get Calf's liver appetizer was superb-portion was also big enough for a few people to share, liver was very fresh, perfectly fried and seasoned, as a surprise bonus it was served mixed with scrumptious french fries, marinated onions and slices of fresh tomatoes on the side. Yummy cacik (yogurt based savory dipping sauce) was a perfect companion for the liver as well as spicy tomato based sauce. 5 out of 5 Must Get We also ordered a Haydari appetizer which is a thicker version of the yogurt dip mixed with garlic, walnuts, dill & spices and it was amazing-creamy, tangy, savory, full of unique flavor but still mild enough to be enjoyed by itself or with a freshly baked bread that it was served with or any meat/fish/vegetable dish. 5 out of 5-definitely recommend But there were few disappointments-Turkish Manti dumplings weren't as good as the other dishes, it was a bit too doughy, lacking flavor and meat filling was almost nonexistent. 3 out 5, not awful but not great either. Dessert was another disappointment-Chocolate Cheesecake although definitely fresh, was more like plain vanilla cheesecake with a thin coating of chocolate ganache, wasn't very palatable & had a weird aftertaste, 2 out of 5 didn't like it All in all-very satisfying experience, will probably order delivery again or visit in person, just wish they can do something about improving taste of that cheesecake or change their cake supplier! read more

Newly discover. Came in after a meal to have coffee and was pleasantly surprised. Didn't try the the food, so I can't comment on that. The desert on the other hand, is a completely different story. Whatever you do, don't miss the chocolate cheesecake!! The Kunaffa, not bad but had better. The coffee is good and the service is very pleasant. And now to the top of this visit... they have a Hookah service. Don't be a know it all and let this Hookah master to do his magic. Just tell this guy what you want and let him show you the ropes and customize you a flavor and strength, from the largest selection I've ever seen. A true magician! This was a power multiplayer for the whole visit. A whole different experience. If you like a good cheesecake, good coffee and a very good Hookah, this is the place! Next time I will try the food. read more

So i went here because honestly i love hookah and i saw they had a popcorn hookah. Best decision ever i wanted to be in the garden room but it was raining so we decided to go upstairs very classy layout with a huge screen tv. They don't have a cocktail menu but the did make a great bellini and mojito for us and we had shots of tequila. The food was amazing it was fresh hot tasty and looked delicious. The guy who did the hookah was like a genius when it came to mixing the flavors i told him exactly what hat i wanted he gave me just that . We purchased 2 hookahs because we wanted to try the popcorn hookah as well. Definitely a place i would come to again. i loved it very moment of this experience read more

I felt the food was amazing. The host greeted us right away was truly gracious. The only downstairs was it was a bit warm upstairs. There is seating outside and on the first floor.

Looking forward to coming back and then next time I will wear lighter clothes. read more
