Based on the recommendation of my chiropractor, I had lunch here earlier this week. Our server from…read moreMoldavia was friendly and attentive and suggested I try their most popular dish - the lamb lulya kebab which is ground lamb that is not overly spiced to allow one to taste the meat. It is served with rice and I found it to be a lighter than its Turkish equivalent. It was served with rice. We also ordered Turkish bread that was served warm. The dining area is comfortable and welcoming. Because this restaurant is set back from the Coney Island Avenue next to a liquor store it is easy to miss - but don't - it's excellent!

I ordered the Journey to Baku salad, the Turkish bread, and the Guru Khingal. The salad needed a pinch of salt, but there was a shaker on the table and with that addition, it was a decent refreshing appetizer. It's sort of a spread so I would recommend ordering some bread to eat with it. The bread came out steaming hot and smelling amazing. It was soft and fluffy on the inside and delicious. I took the extra home and ate it all immediately when I got there. Delicious bread. The Guru Khingal is honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten in New York City. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, as I have never eaten this type of food before. The tender, handcut pasta seems to be layered with flavorful lamb fat like the most decadent possible buttered noodles and the ground lamb topping is rich and perfectly seasoned. The yogurt sauce gives the dish balance. It's a fairly large portion that could easily be shared between two. I highly recommend this spot, the glowing reviews are not exaggerating at all. I often like to try new and unusual restaurants, and sometimes I enjoy them mostly for the novelty. That was not the case at Village Cafe. My meal here was delicious and I am eager to return, even with the 75 minute commute from north Brooklyn.

The staff member who took my order warned me that it would be spicy, but I thought it was quite manageable (or perhaps she made it non-spicy) but overall I thought the flavor was quite bold and the bite-sized lamb made it easy to scoop up with the bread. The restaurant space is fairly large so I'd like to return for sit-down service and to try more Yemeni specialties.

I ordered a mix of chicken adana and shish kebab platter with rice and Sheppard salad, hummus with Turkish bread, rice pudding, and tres leches. Everything together costed $55.25, a little pricey but the quantity was good. I had a cup of black tea while I waited for my food. It took about 10-15 minutes for my order to be fulfilled which was not bad. The food was good especially the desserts. They made a mistake with my salad order so I called them about it.

I'm looking forward to trying other dishes next time we're in town.

Update made 04/19/2026 A true neighborhood gem!…read moreIf you decide to dine in, the space is clean, welcoming, and the staff is genuinely warm and accommodating -- but the real star here is the food. This is authentic Turkish cuisine done right. We ordered right before closing, fully expecting a rushed experience -- and instead, I was pleasantly surprised. They included complimentary Turkish bread, and I honestly could not believe how fresh it tasted. Warm, soft, fragrant -- as if it had just come out of a real oven minutes earlier. Not your typical pita -- something much better. I'm not even a big bread person, but this was exceptional. Paired with the labneh (for those who don't know, it's a thick, creamy strained yogurt spread creamy, perfectly seasoned, with crushed walnuts, a hint of garlic, and just the right drizzle of oil) -- it was truly a match made in heaven. Rich, balanced, and incredibly satisfying. They also included complimentary sauces -- a fresh, yogurt-based one (similar to tzatziki) and a bold, spicy red sauce -- both delicious and clearly made with care. And of course, we had to order the calf liver -- one of our favorite Turkish dishes. It was outstanding: tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully seasoned. Easily a 10/10. Now, one IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE MANAGEMENT -- and I'm saying this with full respect because your food absolutely deserves it: Please consider improving the takeout packaging. We ordered a bowl that included both hot and cold components -- all delicious individually -- but everything was placed together without separation. The cold shepherd salad (which was excellent and generously dressed), baba ganoush, feta, and avocado were placed directly on top of hot lamb gyro and fries. As a result, the fries lost their texture, and it made it difficult to properly enjoy or reheat the leftovers. With the quality of food you're serving, this is an easy fix that would elevate the entire experience. A simple solution would be either: - sectioned containers - or separating hot and cold items Everything else was truly excellent -- generous portions, authentic flavors, and clear attention to quality. Highly recommend‼ This place is doing a lot of things right

Things to pay attention to: our order ended up getting a bit lost in translation and we got triple the amount of dishes we thought we ordered.

Portions were huge though Beef rolls (I forgot what it's called) - again pretty good but don't know if I'd crave it/go back for it Overall minus the hiccup it was good food and had a cute authentic ambiance.

There were some clear great parts of my dining experience and then some less good parts... let me start with the good... The food was delicious and super authentic. I ordered the Tajik Pilaf, which was $14.95 for a huge plate of rice, carrots, and beef, so great value. The rice had some kind of delicious sauce which added a really nice savory flavor and the carrots were cooked well too. The meat was actually my least favorite part of this place, as it was slightly chewy as opposed to tender (but not bad). I also tried the chicken kebab, which I was impressed by - the meat was very juicy, tender, and seasoned nicely. The interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated in a Tajik / central Asian style with a relaxed environment. There were just a couple other groups dining there, so finding a table was not an issue at all. The owner was constantly roaming around the restaurant (in a good, attentive way), frequently checking in on us and being super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. He made us feel at home and gave our experience a home-cooked meal kind of vibe. Now for the not so good part of our experience... the rest of the service... Right off the bat, after we were seated, we just sat there for what felt like a very long time without anyone coming by to check in or even offer water or anything. Finally, the waitress came over, which is when we also found out that somehow they don't offer regular tap water, only bottled water... like how is that even possible? Anyways, we proceeded to order our dishes and then waited for over 30 minutes only to find out at the dishes we ordered (fried lagman) was not available that day! And they only told us this after having already waited half an hour! You would think they would've known this before... so there we were, trying to order again... finally our food came and as mentioned, thankfully, it was actually very tasty. So all in all, while the service definitely could've used some improvement, the food redeemed the experience in a big way and coupled with the unique cuisine and friendliness of the owner, I am giving Karavan Kebab a solid 4 stars. I think risking the service speed to experience this unique and delicious cuisine is well worth it.

Great food and friendly service, but unfortunately the experience ended on a bitter note…read more When we received the check, an 18% gratuity had already been added. That's fine--I assumed the tip was included. However, when we handed over our credit card, we were told that the 18% charge was not actually a tip. We were informed that it was used to support the kitchen and cover operating expenses, such as keeping the lights on. I found this explanation confusing and misleading. If an 18% service charge is added to the bill, most customers will reasonably assume it is gratuity. I ended up leaving an additional $5 for the staff, but I couldn't help feeling that the restaurant should simply pay its employees appropriately rather than putting customers in this awkward position. The food was excellent, but the billing practice left a bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
