    The ambiance
    Matt B.

    Came here for a coffee and dessert Service is great This is a awesome place. The lights the best view in Brooklyn Love this place.

    Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo Pollo
    Sabrina T.

    Stopped here randomly and was pleasantly surprised. I had a french 75 and Shrimp pasta both were good. Most places make sour unbalanced French 75s but this one was good! My boyfriend had chicken alfredo which he enjoyed and a good portion. The servers were very attentive and on top of everything. If you like hookah they also have that available. The lamb chops looked amazing but I personally didn't try them but seeing them made me want to come by.

    We had the most amazing dinner experience at Rocca Cafe Lounge! The ambience was spectacular and the service was impeccable.Okan, Samet and Muhammad were wonderful and the manager Mustafa was so nice and accommodating. The food was so fresh and authentic. Magnificent overall experience and cannot wait to come back!

    Breakfast platter is very elegant and right in the spot. Scrambled eggs and soucuk on the side went very well. Yengen toast with fries took breakfast to another level.

    Fettuccine Alfredo ...How it showed on they site

    I am placed order from Rocca Cafe by Uber eats. The food was delivered completely cold. The bread was stale and hard like a cracker. In the fettuccine, the chicken was overcooked and burned to a black color. The falafel was also extremely overcooked -- dry, hard, and tasted like paper. I honestly don't understand how food in this condition can be sent to customers. This was an absolutely terrible experience, and I will never order from this restaurant again.

    The most delicious Americano coffee - tasted like dark chocolate!

    The food is excellent and the view of the bay in the back of the restaurant is super unique - they're the only ones that have it now. They have various fish, pasta and meat/chicken dishes, as well as surprisingly good pizza. The coffee and desserts are also all amazing and the menu is huge. Worth the trek to get here!

    Kebab platter

    I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the view at the restaurant, plus the fact that they offer hookah was a nice touch. To start, we ordered the calamari and the mixed hot appetizer, which included wings, mozzarella sticks, falafel, fries, and some phyllo. The calamari was excellent, but the mixed appetizer was just average. For the main course, we had the large kebab platter and the ribeye steak. While both dishes were good, they could have used a bit more salt and seasoning. The rice on the side, however, was outstanding--packed with flavor! The biggest letdown was the tea we ordered to go with our hookah--it was just plain black tea, no mint. On the bright side, the coconut hookah was fantastic, and the service was excellent.

    It really pains me to write this review because I have visited Rocca many many times over the years and it has been a favorite go to spot of mine for a few years now I went last Friday with a few friends like usual and it was such a disappointing and frustrating experience. We were going to smoke hookah and wanted to sit in the back. The hostess wrote down my name and number and said they would contact me soon as a table is clearing up. I waited and no update 50 minutes later. I went to speak with the hostess and there were 3 of them at this point and there was one in particular which was very rude. Another couple walked out of the restaurant as I was walking in and they were visibly upset saying the hostess was "rude and disgusting towards them". At the end of my interaction with her, I had come to a similar conclusion. She was fairly light skin with light brown/ginger hair and in a black outfit. There were two Asian girls with her who were fairly helpful. But the main one in particular was very condescending for someone that works in the hospitality industry. She lacked manners and displayed the inability to handle inquires/guest services efficiently. After waiting an hour she told me, in no way possible will I be able to get a table in the back tonight. Which was fine.. but if that's the case why make me wait almost an hour to tell/seat me ? We sat down at the tablet given to us and I asked to speak with the manager. Not surprised, she didn't comply with that request. The hookah was good. We enjoyed dessert. I guess they stopped putting salt in their rice as well so the entrees wasn't enjoyable as usual. Over all experience and night was tainted but the rude hostess. Thankfully my friends and I were able to laugh it off and enjoy the night. I used to recommended this spot to everyone, and frequented often myself. Idk anymore. Bad staff can ruin the vibes and atmosphere of a place. With everything happening in the world right now, inclusivity should be prioritized.

    Look at the service charge and service charge notice

    18% service charge for 2 people. Claims it's an administrative fee. Wtf. Food is good . Service is eh. But the hookah smell is disgusting. And the service fee is ridiculous and then they expect an 18% tip on top. NOT COMING HERE AGAIN. Dumbasses should just raise their prices. Dinner for two no apps no drinks $100. For piece of fish and lamb chops. JUST NOT WORTH IT!

    The have updated their interior seating and made it more spacious. The staff were very friendly and courteous. They specialize in Turkish cuisine; hookah and desserts. The view by the water breathtaking.

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.

    Have you ever seen the misadventures of Nedim Sahin, the guy who went viral with videos at his…read moreBaruthane Pilavcisi restaurants? He claimed to taste the first spoonful of each new batch of food to ensure that it meets his mom's standards. There is a well-known Turkish proverb he quotes from - "pilavdan dönenin kaşığı kırılsın". In literal translation it's "break the cooking spoon of the pilaf maker who falters in its task". It's understood as either "see it though come hell or high water" or "bring your A-game or don't bother showing up". Eh, I wonder if the guy who served me this kofte platter at BayRidge Turkish cafe has ever heard the quote? When it came to Turkish food, certain items are universally loved, like çorba (soup) and kofte (meatballs). Çorba has such an elevated status that a commander of the Ottoman elite military corps (Janassary) is known as a çorbaci (soup man). Even today, the term is used in modern Turkish slang as "boss". There's an old saying in Turkish that the best kofte is made by your mom, but the best çorba is from the local kebab joint. What makes for good Turkish kofte? It's supposed to be fluffy juicy pillows of meat the size of say, a mini Snickers bar, made with ground beef and sometimes lamb, with some diced lamb tail fat whipped into the mixture, seasoned with sweet and savory spices like cumin, mint, coriander, mace and such, then grilled over coals. In Turkey the usual service is with a bowl of buttery Turkish lentil soup (often accompanied by their bread), ice cold Ayran, piyaz (navy bean salad), then kofte fresh off the grill, and maybe some rice pilaf (buttery rice with bits of toasted orzo within) on the side. Who does a good version in Brooklyn? Kofte Piyaz in Sunset Park - it ain't cheap, though. So what is up with this 15 dollar kofte platter I got at Bayridge cafe? Well, the size of the kofte is odd, like breakfast sausages (my wife is much less charitable on the comparison and said it looked like something from a kitty litter box). It tasted dry and shriveled up, with no flavor at all, like it was air fried once too many. The iceberg lettuce and tomato salad that came on the side just bleeds off the mediocrity. The rice is just white rice and not pilaf. The inexplicable part is when they serve up lentil soup and gave us slices of American white bread. Not toasted, not buttered, and certainly not Turkish bread. Me and my wife bursted out laughing. The soup is...serviceable, but it certainly won't make any Ottoman Sultan dance for joy or fuel warriors into battle - it tasted flat (the version that I make has tomato and pepper paste, onions, garlic and dried mint...which this didn't have) and we didn't see the usual shaker of aleppo (pul) peppers for sprinkling onto the soup to give it a kick. The bean stew that we ordered (Kuru Fasulye) was watery and without much distinctive flavors. So, eh, is this place bad per-se? Not really. Despite the disappointing kofte, it comes with a small bit of eggplant salad that was honestly not too bad. The Turkish tea was on-point (well, they used Caykur Tomurcuk, which is a Turkish Earl Grey grade) and they used a double boiler to do the tea, which means that it's legitly brewed in the Turkish fashion with the right flavors. The Tulumba wasn't nearly as good as, say...Safa in Istanbul, but it isn't a disappointingly soggy mess like the ones at Djerdan Borek or coyingly sweet with salad oil stench like the ones at Artion bakery in Astoria. It was like how you imagine a good churro would be - warm, not too oily, sweet but not too much so. Crisp exterior, honeyed interior, goes well with a cup of hot tonic Turkish tea, served strong and fragrant. So yeah, it's not hopeless. But geez, guys, save your wonderbread for the American sandwiches and toss pitas or Turkish bread with your Turkish fares, and talk to your mom about serving up proper kofte. I can excuse the soup but that kofte is a travesty. Köftedan dönenin isgaralar kırılsın - either make something worthwhile or don't bother at all.

The inside of the restaurant is decorated nicely, however one of the lights above us was flickering for the entire meal which was annoying at first, but we eventually tuned it out. We both shared the Rana's Table. This was a really cool experience. This smorgasbord includes a sampling of 8 appetizers, 4 mezes, 1 entree, 1 side, and 1 dessert. For the entree we chose the Iskender Steak. For the side we got the Yogurt Potatoes. The dessert was chosen for us - some sort of pistachio mousse. All the food was good. Between the 8 appetizers and 4 mezes - some we loved, some were just ok. But a lot of that opinion is based on personal preference. If you're planning on eating here, bring your appetite and definitely consider the Rana's Table. Being able to try so many options all at once was a fun and unique experience. Service was good.

We started with cocktails ($14.50 each) and I had the Turkish Coffee Martini, which was very enjoyable, and my friend ordered the Bergamot (gin-based), which they also liked. We got the prix-fixe brunch ($35), starting with the çılbır (poached eggs with yogurt and brown butter), which was very good. Though it only came with one egg each, so we ended up ordering an additional serving on the side. The sides are served family-style and include a nice range of sweet and savory options. The spinach and cheese börek was very good and paired well with the eggs and yogurt. I also really enjoyed the sucuk (pan-fried sausage) and the kızartma (potatoes with eggplant and tomato). On the sweeter side, the akıtma (thin pancakes) with toppings like mixed berries, sweet tahini, jam, and cream was a fun "dessert" element. Overall, it was a really enjoyable and unique brunch experience. I liked the family-style format, and it felt like a good value for the amount of food, though we personally wanted a bit more protein. The space itself felt warm, homey, and natural. One thing to note: there did not seem to be many gluten-free options within the prix-fixe, so that is something to keep in mind. Would recommend giving Rana Fifteen a try!

As I waited for my delightful oblong pizza to be baked, I was treated with the utmost Turkish hospitality and offered a cup of tea. I also picked up the baklava here, because it looked very promising. Honestly, the pide did not disappoint, it was chock full of vegetables and meat, and the cheese ratio was just absolutely perfect. Despite being such a huge baked item, it wasn't too heavy or doughy, which I appreciated and surprisingly because I was hungry I was able to demolish the whole thing in one sitting without feeling sick to my stomach. The baklava was also very good, heavy on the pistachio, which is just how I like it. Tea was served piping hot, and I enjoyed sipping on it as I veered out the window on a beautiful spring day. This is the spot to grab your slice of Turkish nostalgia. 10/10.
