Baklava
Jackie S.

Absolutely fantastic. I haven't had a shawarma spot this legit and this good in a long time. Food was very fresh and flavorful. The chicken shawarma laffa I got was packed with meat. Their falafel is made fresh to order, so it's not sitting out and stale like most places. We got to chat with the owner for a bit and he's a really nice guy, been in the business for a while. He even gave us complementary baklava. I'm not the biggest fan of baklava, but this one was really good. Solid choice for a fast casual meal near Barclays.

Came here after a workout and it was the perfect meal! The chicken is so yummy and the sauces are amazing. The ingredients taste very fresh as well. Next time I'm in Brooklyn I'll fs come back here.

Beef Lamb & Beef Shawarma Wrap
Kseniya K.

We got the beef & lamb bowl and wrap. Decent, filling, nothing to write home about. Portions are decent, so don't be afraid to ask to pile on. This place is tiny and doesn't have a bathroom. Only three tiny high top tables for two. Very cold, as the two entry doors are always swinging open, as a ton of customers is usually going in and out.

This is a Chipotle style shawerma place. I loved it! It was quite crowded on a Thursday evening at 7pm... so it took a while to order. There were 3 guys behind the counter and one was only working on online orders. You order the meat, the wrapper/ base, the toppings, and the sauces. The portions are large, which accounts for the price. I ordered the beef and lamb shawema on flat bread. The meat is good, dare I say better than most gyros in fast food places. The bread portion was thin pita. They have about 10 topping options, a variety of salads mostly, all that i tried were good. The hot sauce is not spicy at all, but still tasty, the tahini was too watered down. The fries tasted like the oil was old... Definitely a place to go to for a yummy bite.

My masterpiece chicken lamb beef mix with all the veggies and sauces I'd could think of

It works! I was in the area. Needed something hot and fresh. Popped in here and decided on a bowl.I ordered chicken lamb beef gyro over cous cous. And you can add as many fresh topping as you like. That bowl made 2 meals for me. Its priced decently considering the location. When in the area again I'll be sure to drop in. The staff was friendly. They have a small indoor and outdoor area to eat.

March '23 delicious! It's only $10

I've tried many other places that similar to here but it's not comparable at all. Every time I tried this kind of place, I missed here a lot. Food quality, high values as well as price! This is the best place ever and highly recommended :)

While near Barclays Center, my wife and I decided to try some shawarma, and I'm so glad we stumbled upon this gem. From the moment we walked in, John, the owner, greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. My wife went with the lamb and beef shawarma wrap paired with baba ghanoush and hummus, while I chose a hearty bowl packed with veal, white rice, lettuce, olives, pickles, cucumbers, carrots, eggplant matbucha, Turkish peppers, tomatoes, and a kick of red harissa hot sauce. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! Initially, my wife thought she could only manage half of her wrap, but by the time we finished eating, she had polished off the entire thing--a true testament to how incredible the food was. Compliments to the chef! As we enjoyed our meal, I had a wonderful conversation with John about his heritage, which added a personal and memorable touch to the experience. Before leaving, we ordered some chicken wings to go. I shared them with my daughter later, and she couldn't get enough of them--she kept asking for more! The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, but since it was a cold day, we chose to sit inside. The cozy interior had just three tables , which gave the space some charming, intimate vibes. This spot is undoubtedly a hidden gem, and we'll definitely be back again soon!

My Chicken Shawarma Bowl that was delivered to my job!
Julie P.

Nneeeewwwww favorite in the area! A Turkish spot that I didn't know existed until I decided to try a new place for lunch and opened my Yelp. I love Turkish food so I had high expectations for this place. My expectations were met. Granted, I received this food through delivery. Regardless, it hit the spot!!!! Everything was seasoned so well and the proportions were tailored to my liking. Right amount of chicken, rice, and toppings to evenly spread out my bites (if you know what I mean). I got the chicken shawarma bowl... the chicken is so tender, soft, and juicy. For me, I love how there is more meat than rice in the bowls. I really love how generous they are with the toppings. The baba ghanoush is the right texture, it's smoky, it's tasty, it's addicting. I love their pickles! They are crispy and tangy. And they give so much of it too. The spicy carrots and cabbage are also spot on. Honestly, the serving is so big that I'm able to save half of it for later. I've only gone into the place once and it is small (definitely just a takeout spot) and still very new inside with 2-3 spots to sit at for dining in. I absolutely love this place and talk it up to whoever asks me where to eat in Prospect Heights for a quick lunch. This is my "will always order it if I'm having a bad day which is every day" spot! :)

Adana Kebab Pita
David X.

Wonderful! Fast service with plenty of choices. All the options are listed on the menu for different toppings you can add, but they happily explain each to you and warn about spicy items so you can easily customize your meal without needing to do a ton of research, guessing, or pointing vaguely and asking. Some mains (including the adana kebab I had) take a few extra minutes to heat up, but they'll warn you about this while you're ordering. Amazing service that makes it easy to order something delicious compared to other build-your-own restaurants like it. The food itself was delicious and reminded me somewhat of Zooba though with a different and less prominent set of spices (not in a bad way at all). I also tried the yogurt drink (ayran) though I didn't love it -- perhaps because I'm used to sweeter yogurt drinks and this one tasted more like natural yogurt -- perhaps you prefer this. Overall I had a great meal here and would be happy to try out even more of the menu in the future.

The service was impeccable, understanding and kind. Now to the food,...chefs kiss. The bread Bastien was warm and soft. The grilled calamari is definitely an appetizer must. But the biggest surprise was the fried liver bites. I couldn't get enough of it. The seasoning, the juiciness, the joy it brought me was unexpected and highly appreciated. Not a fan of the fried calamari but the rest of the adult at my table liked it...to each is own. I didn't get a chance to enjoy my main course because the kids started getting rowdy but the rest of my party ate their meals and couldn't stop raving about the food. Was a little disappointment the almond pudding wasn't one that menu anymore. I really wanted to try it, but the tiramisu was delicious and the whipped cream with pistachio was light and delightful. I didn't get to take any pictures but I would definitely go back the next time I'm in Brooklyn.

The ambience is comfortable. The tables are a comfortable distance apart, something you don't often find in places in Brooklyn. We sat down and our server promptly offered us water and menus. It was one of the really cold day in early February and I ordered Lentil soup. It really hit the spot-both nice and warm and tasty. My wife and I shared the other dishes that included a superb mixed appetizer plate with really delicious baba ghanoush, humus, labneh and other middle eastern delights. The grilled calamari was a really nice surprise. We typically order fried calamari, our server suggested the grilled. The calamari was tender, sweet and truly delicious. Finally, we shared the Mediterranean sea bass that was also excellent. The fish was very good with a wonderful light sauce. All around a wonderful experience at a reasonable price.

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.

Bayridge Turkish Cafe - Katmer and Turkish tea

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.

When I ordered on March 2nd the delivery driver that showed up took the receipt with him in anger and told me very rudely that "I need to pay tip bcoz the trip costs him a lot of money".

He was unprofessional, aggressive and extremely rude. He started phasing back and forth and screaming that "You need to pay me tip". Bcoz of "tip" this man person became very angry and frustrated. If the delivery person was apologetic and kind the story would have been very different but unfortunately I had to report him. Certainly this kind of behavior and attitude is unacceptable. I immediately complained to Uber Eats and then called the store and asked for the manager but the owner of the store Mr Sadiq got on the line was very apologetic. The owner sounded like a very humble and polite person. He said he will take very strict action against this delivery person and advise me to call the store directly and order from there and ask for him. I have enjoyed Beyti food and service but now with these two incidents involving "a tip" I am very disappointed and might not want to order from this place.
