Early pita
Thomas W.

The food was great well seasoned and very filling. The add ons were great as well. Peppers, onions and other herbs made the sandwich immaculate. The service is pretty straightforward, the do a chain link like subway. Thé people there were nice. They also have outside seating, so bring a party if you'd like.

Usually I'm a huge fan of Shwarma Mia, last time I got it a few months ago it was mid. This time it was straight disappointing. I ordered a bowl for the first time, the cabbage had a weird flavor and I wasn't a fan of the spicy carrots. The pickles had a waxy texture. The chummus that I usually love so much tasted different and not nearly as good as past times. The first few bites were good but once my deep hunger waned I was left with a lackluster plate. Photo of leftovers. I am leaving dissatisfied. Service was great as always

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.

Chicken bowl

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 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! :)

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

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
Sara Y.

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 :)

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 foods were very good and tasted exactly as you expect in a Turkish restaurant. Ambience was busy but pleasant and a great distraction for a busy corner location in Brooklyn with the tiresome job of finding a parking spot you just want to relax and enjoy your meal before venturing out to the crazy traffic made extremely difficult from all the double parked cars and buses. I forgot that the baklava was so good that a second piece found my plate mainly because of the terrific ground to order Turkish coffee.

I got what was supposed to be the combination platter of chicken gyro (half portion) - but I should've known because it seems to be A LOT to just be a 1/2 (there is a differencein pricing b/w the two that I chalked it up to misunderstanding). But nonetheless, it was really good AND I had left overs for dinner & lunch the next day. So that's always a in my book. Before the meal, you are given pitta bread, olives in oil as well as a white and red sauce (red is spicy). The service was pretty good - you weren't rushed AND the busser came to fill the glass of water w/o you having to ask. I sat outside so I didn't really get a vibe of the place but I'll definitely visit again and sit inside to get a better feel of the place

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.

I could make this restaurant a weekly habit. The employees provide excellent customer attention…read more The small footprint of Bayridge Turkish Cafe doesn't compromise cleanliness or comfort. Our minimal menu exploration was adequately rewarding. This restaurant delivers well.
