Great neighborhood Turkish spot! Been here several times and can't believe I hadn't reviewed them…read moreyet! Ambience is clean, open and bright with tasteful minimalist decor. Service is always spot on and personable here regardless if they are busy or not. Must orders here are the several varieties of fish, but for those who eat Americanized fish, they take the head and tail off but the fish fillets are not your perfectly squared of pieces. The fish is grilled to perfection and simply served with a side of either grilled veggie, yummy pilaf rice or French fries. The octopus stew is the most buttery and tender octopus you'll ever have and who can not forget their kabob selections whether you do the chicken or lamb! Stick with the mix grill plate for both though so you get to try a selection of them all. End the night with some hot Turkish black tea or string Turkish coffee with a sweet piece of baklavah or a digestive night cap of Raki mixed with a little water and you are good to go! Can't wait for my next dinner here!

Nick's is a great spot for Greek and Mediterranean inspired food in Forest Hills NY (Queens). I…read morestopped by there the first the other day after arriving at LaGuardia Airport. I was in town on a business trip and wanted some authentic Mediterranean food that was nearby. Nick's did not disappoint. I started with an appetizer of Grape Leaves. It was enough for two people. The ingredients were fresh and they were tasty. For an entree I went with a lamb gyro platter with a side of grilled vegetables. The lamb was well seasoned but not overly salty. The vegetables were cooked perfectly. The service was attentive and quick and the ambiance was casual and all local neighborhood folks. There is street metered parking available where there is no charge after 7pm on weekdays. You can use the Park NYC application.

Restaurant is a small hole in the wall but the food looked and smelled great. Overall for the price, I was expecting more than a handful of pieces of meat. The laffa wasn't toasted, so it's like using dry tortilla wraps to make a burrito before the wrap is flexible. Shawarma 101 is always make sure the laffa/pita is hot so that it stretches when you wrap it. At first bite was all bread and salad, it was very unimpressive and for 6 extra dollars I expected a bite of meat and more impact. Service was good, nothing to write home about, good location plenty of standing area; food portion was lacking especially at the high price point. Overall, three stars, I would try more of the menu if I'm nearby, but I wouldn't come out of my way for this dive spot.

We have never been disappointed with the service or food because we were always treated with the utmost respect every time we come here. Food is always fresh and made to our liking. Summer there's always some sort of outside seating but winter time we prefer to stay warm inside. Not a lot of tables but definitely able to get a table if you come early enough.

My Second favorite (Kosher) pizza joint in N.Y. is Mezze's…read more Their regular slice is solid. And Just the other week, I consumed a mock pepperoni slice. Though never tasting pepperoni before, I enjoyed the slice. A partner of mine had a spicy Sicilian slice. The first time she ordered it she loved it. But they seem to have changed it since, and she said it was never like the first time. Then we found out that different people make it in different ways at this establishment. The next time we ate at mezze's together they said they could put a spicy sauce on top of the slice. It was not the same. She ordered it for a third time when we went out to eat next and she said it was not the same. Mezze's whatever you did the first time with that slice let me suggest you go back to that cuz it worked. Thanks for the tasty food!

Went inside, and it felt like I was transported elsewhere and not in NYC. I liked how the entire place was decorated. There's room to move around and private sections that are closed off with curtains. Food wise, there were two menus, one that was a tablet which had more options and this other large black book. I suggest looking at the tablet. It took a while to decide what we wanted as there were so many sections. I chose the two soups, which were the dumpling langman soup and the shurpa soup. One tasted like chicken soup but with lamb instead. However, both were pretty small. For the table, we got the Manti soup dumplings, which had minced beef inside with soup inside too and beware it is hot. Also, we got the shepherds salad, but they don't have feta cheese, so we got it without that one ingredient.

We tried several dishes from here and they were all good quality. The best dish we had was their plov (pilaf). The meat was very juicy and the rice is so flavorful with the sauces mixed into it. The prices are very reasonable and comparable to similar restaurants in the neighborhood. My main criticism is that they are a little cheap with the portion sizes. For example, the plov was mostly rice with only a few pieces of meat. There are other Uzbek restaurants in the neighborhood that are much more generous, like Sashlichnaya across the street.
