I loved this place but when you do this kind of petty stuff just leaves sour taste in your mouth . I'll moving onto another place sadly . Not to mention when we got the check and were debating it with a friend the servers were walking around starring amd looking one came over to ask what's wrong we mentioned it to her and lying straight to my face that we have always charged for lemons when I always ask for lemons every single time . Not to mention that they raised all their kebab prices by about 2$ per stick they didn't add size , portions but prices went up .

Good food, painfully slow service…read more We ordered for pickup and they said 20 minutes. It ended up being 50 minutes. Anyway, the Greek salad was my favorite part of the meal, it was excellent. The lamb and lulya kebabs were very good. As for the plov, I've had better, I've had worse. The liver cubes were also okay, not great. Their salmon dish with white sauce was very good too. Prices are amazing for these days.

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.

But this is the first two times that I've gone to their "NEW" sit down location' across from the original. The decor is really pretty and it pays homage to Palestine. The staff is great.

I ordered the kefta and it wouldve probably tasted better if they gave us yogurt and hot sauce! Without it, the whole plate was dry. There was still some flavor on the rice and meat, but its not satisfying without the sauces.

This hidden gem next to the park kept me well fed all throughout COVID…read more I tried FalafaLafa for the first time right when the pandemic began and they were giving away containers of their falafel batter due to having to close their doors. I had enough falafel mix to sustain me for a year, and by then I became addicted to it. Nowadays I visit at least once a month when I'm in the mood for a healthier meal option (and so happy I don't have to fry the falafel myself anymore!) I love all the salad/topping options for sandwiches and platters and the ability to add as many as you like for no extra cost. Pro tip: get the eggplant. It's so good and almost as addicting as the falafel itself! They even have gluten free bread options that don't taste like cardboard....need I say more? Surprised that Falafalafa isn't busier than it already is, because it deserves a line out the door every time!

I didn't know the area, but I was starving so decided to do a little loop around the block or so around the train station. I was the only customer to take a seat at the restaurant (although it looked like there was a robust takeout from the table in front on the sidewalk). Every table was set with a place setting and a welcoming setup. The gentleman doing the cooking walked me through my options and ended up preparing this, which I think had every ingredient possible! They were so kind and the food was delicious. I recommend checking it out if you're in the area.
