I have been coming to Taci's Beyti since 2013 and frequented it a lot when I lived in Brooklyn but…read morenow moving to Queens for the past few years I still make the trip over 2-3 times a year. The quality of their food has always been top notch and honestly is my favorite spot for a Turkish meal. Their hummus and basically all their skewers, kababs and grilled meats are simply amazing. Fast forward, I haven't gone to Taci's Beyti for over a year and I just recently went for our anniversary dinner over the weekend. Place still felt the same, so I ordered my hummus, mixed grill and the chicken kebab for the misses. When The entrees arrived, I was a bit disappointed. They seem to have changed what use to come with their main entrees. Gone is the bed of thinly sliced onions under your meats, so is the roasted pepper and also the roasted tomato. Three items I actually enjoyed having with my entree. They also changed the pita under the meats as well but they replaced it with a very sad salad instead, with no dressing or even a vinaigrette at that. Just plain dry leaves with some red onions. They also have two prices now, one for cash and one for credit, the cost has gone up (which I understand) but they've also cut the portions and what use to come with it. Yes the food is still good but after that last trip I am rethinking about ever going back. I am disappointed that either through choice, greed, or whatever they decided to cut back. Time to scout and try some other Turkish restaurants in the boroughs I suppose, and no I am not leaving a one star review, their food quality and taste hasn't changed. I am just very disappointed.

The person who served me was quite pleasant and helpful. She answered all my questions about the food. I enjoyed my food immensely. The only downside to this restaurant is that they allow dogs inside. It's too small of a place for pets. One dog was jumping on everything inside the store area and it made me think about whether that was hygienic because of its paws all over the streets of NY.

Folks would trek in from miles around for it. Yesterday's hummus - purchased 4 days before last sale date - was nasty. It used to be rich and creamy - we would devour the tub in a day. This is not the first time we have been disappointed. And the pita which was usually soft and delicious was stale. Even heating it didn't help. Since their food used to be exceptionally good, it makes me wonder what happened. They recently moved from across the fire house to the corner of Stratford. Nothing from the new location is any good. I'm giving 2 stars because I like them, but its really a negative star

The food here is next level and while I've been to many many Middle Eastern restaurants in my life, the offerings at this place were more varied- from the familiar to completely unfamiliar. And most of our servings were very generous, so, hello lunch tomorrow. What we ate- I had a pizza that wasn't a pizza but was really really good. No meat in mine but the folks who had meat liked theirs. The only person who wasn't tripping over themselves with joy had ordered a simple lamb plate. Oh. And on the cold night? The warm beverage which had, not kidding, ground orchid bulbs?!- it was so good I'm going to try to find it on the west coast. The place was pretty crazy busy but the very welcoming host(who was also the server) asked the bus person to set up a table upstairs. Before that happened we had a table. Turns out it was Ramadan which explained the crowd level. Can't wait to go back next time I'm in bklyn to try other things. Thx Ayat!

Bas, the gentleman at the counter, suggested I get it with the white hot sauce on top--what an outstanding recommendation. The lamb was tender and flavorful, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and the sauce pulled everything together with just the right amount of heat. The meal also came with warm pita bread, crispy french fries, and a fresh, colorful salad, so it felt like a complete and satisfying plate, not just a quick bite. Between the delicious food, generous portions, and friendly service from Bas and the team, Fatima's Grill has definitely become a must-visit spot for me in Coney Island. Highly recommend.

I was craving falafel and this is one of the few places that popped up in the neighborhood…read more I ordered a falafel sandwich and it was fresh and flavorful. I would definitely order again. Israeli style with pickles, which I love. The chickpea soup was a standout. So flavorful and nourishing; definitely a nod to the sopa de garbanzos that I grew up with. The generous portion of labane is rich and complimented by herbs and an excellent olive oil. But it only comes with one pita! Personally, I'd prefer a smaller portion with more bread. Ok, first, let's be accurate about a few things. Etymologically, "batata" comes from the Spanish for "potato." This is a nod to "Sephardic" Jews, from the Hebrew word for the Iberian Peninsula (by definition, Spain and Portugal; after "expulsion," this came to include a diaspora more broadly northern African. In order words, western and southern European, not Eastern like Ashkenazi Jews.)

The restaurant is certainly clean and I like how it's in the open so you can see all the action and cleanliness. I ordered their falafel whole pita sandwich and was told I can add whatever choosing I wanted. I also ordered two sides of their falafel balls to enjoy. They were 3 balls for $1. As for the sandwich, I thought it only tasted okay. I was very hungry at that point so if I thought my sandwich was okay then I know I'm not a fan of it. The flavoring was bland, I asked for spicy sauce but didn't taste any. I also asked for the fried eggplants to find out as I'm biting into it that there was none. Make sure you watch them when asking for your choosing. They might now hear you and you'll just end up feeling disappointed like me because I love the taste of eggplants. Regarding the falafel ball, I thought it was too doughy. I usually like them a little more loose and garlicy.

The only thing that betrays the hidden nature of Dunya Kabab House is the brilliant red sign. Upon closer inspection, you can see a warm dining area, glass partition to see "where the magic happens" in the kitchen behind, and the many articles plastered showing their unique take on Afghani food. I bookmarked the spot to come back to, and within the week, I came back and ordered takeout for the dish most fellow reviewers raved about -- the Uzbeki Qabuli Pulao. When I got home and opened the bag, I was pleasantly surprised to find a small side salad and the dish I recognised from a visit to another nearby restaurant specialising in Uzbeki food -- the plov! The rice was really well seasoned and the lamb shank was so tender it fell off the bone. Everything was really flavourful and well balanced, even for take-out. Unlike the other place, this plov was still sweet without being cloyingly so.

Cafe Two Way confuses me. On their sign, they're called Chaihana (Tea House) Two Way. Online,…read morethey're called Cafe Two Way. On another sign in front of the door, they're Tandoori Food & Bakery. One the inside, they advertise as Chaihana Salom. What doesn't confuse me, though, is how ridiculously delicious and authentic everything they prepare is. Upon stepping in, you're greeted by a fairly timid mom and pop setting. Four small tables, a sink, a small counter, and walls decadently decorated with paintings and mementos of Uzbekistan. The workers are down to Earth and get straight to the point. No time for chit chat when you have a thriving business to run. - Samsa: We were told by family friends that Two Way has the absolute best samsa in all of Brooklyn. While that's a bold statement, they are definitely up in my top rankings. The crust is of perfect thickness and flakiness. Inside, you are greeted my a monstrous amount of lamb, onions, and delectable lard. Juices flow out like the nectar of the Uzbek gods. What makes their samsa so special is that they have a legit tandoor in the back. It's not the same as what you might find in a Tashkent street market, but its very close. - Shurpa: A tomato based soup of lamb, potatoes, and other vegetables. Wonderfully prepared and full of that distinct aroma that shurpa is known for. One of the best I've had. Most patrons you will see here are locals. English will be rarely heard, but I'm sure is spoken. Next time I'm back in New York, I'll be sure to return and place a to-go order for half a suitcase full of samsa to bring back to California. These guys are ruthless too. The sign outside says "Those who do not drink tea will be ended." The Russian word "hana" means death, the end, but is also included in the word "chaihana" = tea house. Clever play on words. Drink your tea, kids. I don't think you want to be ended.
