This gem in Brooklyn shouldn't be hidden. We had a group of 8 where a third of the party were toddlers and we were treated with so much care. 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. read more

We stopped into Tava around 3 in the afternoon for a late lunch. The restaurant was nearly empty at that hour and we received lots of great attention from the staff. 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. read more

Great Mediterranean spot for lunch! Big portions, my lamb gyro wrap was enough food for two lunches. They don't skimp on the gyro meat, too. Fries were crispy and seasoned. If you sit down, they give you free bread that's focaccia-like in texture and taste. The oil on the table tasted more like peanut oil than olive oil, though. Outdoor seating is lovely, food took a bit of time to come out on a slow Saturday. read more

I've ordered from here so many times on ubereats I've lossed count. I always get the lentil soup or the lemony chicken soup. I get the large shepherds salad with a side of feta cheese and they always give me these beautiful pieces of fresh bread with my order and sometimes they've thrown in rice pudding for free. The shepherds salad is simple, it's a mix of tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and cucumbers in a really light dressing but whenever I try to make it at home it never turns out right. I can never get a handle on perfecting the dressing so I've been obsessed with ordering it. I usually order the soup and salad after a night out on the town. The lentil soup is warm and comforting and the salad is easy on my tummy! Never stepped into the restaurant but it's a too choice on ubereats! read more

IN THE OF BROOKLYN, what a gem!!! Very convenient location! Welcoming staff!! Food yummm!!! Red lentil soup is a staple. Blend is amazing, spices just right, dried mint leaves is the signature spice. Fried liver cubes, oh my!!! Pair it with some onions, squeeze some lemon, toss it with crushed peppers. I prefer in a wrap, but you can have it by itself. Doner kebab is my favorite but it was sold out! I had Adana kebab, still good. But i want Doner!! Zucchini pancakes, not everyone adds shredded carrots, Tava does, amazing taste. Final crunchy buttery BAKLAVA. I am still dreaming about it. read more

I and some friends stopped by after a day at the museum for dinner. The restaurant was cozy and so nicely decorated with a wine wall., wooden finishes, and string lights. The staff were very kind and took good care of us. We started of with the mixed appetizer plate/mezze which included hummus, ezme, tabbouleh, babaganush and spinach tartare, all of which were tasted amazing. The main dish was even better. I had the kofte kebab which was the perfect balance of juicy and the perfect amount of seasoning. I was genuinely impressed with the quality and service and Tava. I hope to be back soon. read more

Not sure if we came here on an off day or what. I was a bit confused since I've read so many wonderful reviews. We were super excited to try this spot. Customer service was great, no complaints there. The vibe was relaxing and I felt comfortable right away. But the food though, we thought it was bland.. I had the falafel platter and I thought it was too dry and lacked flavor, I've definitely had better falafel elsewhere. My friend got the mixed grill which he wasn't very impressed with the taste either. Pretty big portion sizes though. And he said his favorite part was the wine read more

Friendly service. Literally everyone we interacted with was so down to earth and kind. We were running some errands near by on a Sunday and Literally walked by and stopped in. The decor is nice the space is much larger then it appears viewing from outdoors . They start you off with warm bread it is made in house and you can enjoy it by itself or with oil and balsamic vinegar . I ordered the lamb gyro plate and it was so tender and juicy. My aunt had the beef liver and Shepard salad with the cheese on the side as her main. Those were some of the best liver I've eaten . I have had many of liver because I do enjoy that dish any time I find a Turkish place. We had cocktail with our meals I believe I had a moscow mule it was done well. We told them we will be back. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. The food is excellent and the service is fantastic. Everything is fresh. I would highly recommend.

We had the appetizer sampler which was terrific. Walk in off street so parking is wherever street parking available in Park Slope. There is a street level dining area with full bar making cocktails with ease. I suggest you don't drive if you don't have to. Small restroom on first floor. We saw a lower level although we did not explore. Not sure what is meant for nor how large or small it is for diners. Definitely no way for wheelchair to get downstairs and not sure if there were restrooms down there. Service was a bit slow in getting to us after they took and brought out orders. It seemed once that happened they focused their attention on other areas and forgot about us. The service was pleasant and friendly, and not pushy. Bon Appetite! read more

Did not dine in but got the food to go and it was nicely packed. I ordered the mixed grilled, mix mezze platter, two kebab dishes (can't remember exactly what it was), and an eggplant dish. They were all super delicious. I liked how the mixed platter came with a side salad as well. My parents were visiting and I wanted to impress them with Turkish food and this place did the job! This place was a little pricey but they do give you decent portion sizes. read more

This place serves really good and authentic turkish food. The appetizer sampler is the way to go if you have at least 4 people at the table. I thought the babaganoush was the best.

I have been here for dinner, lunch, and now brunch, and everything is delicious. The pides and the manti are outstanding. The meat is perfectly cooked. The side salad is very good, the pickled red cabbage brings brightness and a nice crunch, but it's a little overdressed usually. The bread is crispy and fluffy. The wraps are very good but I wish the white sauce was a little thicker. Everything is full of flavor, the service is quick, and the ambiance is nice. read more

Take out one gyro. Odd?! Rolled up like a thin burrito. Nothing but meat and lettuce? Very nice bartender / waiter.

I went to this Turkish spot in Park Slope a while back with a group. The place is pretty big and our group of 6 was sat pretty far back with the tables being a comfortable distance between each other. I decided to order a gazoz to drink without checking the price which was a mistake as it was $4.95 which is very overpriced. This is $2 more then even at some fancy Turkish spots but whatever. The staff was pretty friendly though it took a while for one of the dishes to come. I ordered the Sultan's Delight or hünkarbeğendi which was $24.95. This consists of a lamb stew (the hunkar part) which is both served on top of and inside of a mix of eggplant and cheese (said begendi) with some grilled peppers on top. It is one of my favorite Turkish dishes. The plate was a bit smaller then most of the other locations I have been to and there wasn't as much of the stew on top. Outside of the smaller portion size, the chunks of lamb on both the top and the inside were very tender and the eggplant was excellent. In short, very good flavor but a bit pricey (but then again it's Park Slope.) Another person had the Lahmacun which was 22.95 for 3 pieces (+$7.95 for an extra one I think.) Lahmacun is another of my preferred Turkish dishes consisting of a flatbread topped with minced lamb and spices. It is served with some vegetables (raw onion with sumac and some other stuff) and said veggies are put on the flatbread and essentially wrapped. I tried a little bit of this and as someone who loves this dish, I wasn't that big of a fan. The lamb lacked the cumin, red pepper, and other spices which I usually associate with this dish though I would say that the photos online are quite different from what she got. The portion size was much more reasonable for the price but the flavors were bland. Other people had the steak kabob (had a small bit quite tasty,) chicken kabob, and fish (didn't try either.) The food here was fine. A bit pricey but it is Park Slope. My gas from the rest of the reviews and the photos was that there was some mess up with the lahmacun or I didn't hear something from the other person ordering which might have reduced the spices. Upper 3. read more

So we were in the area and wanted something different so happened upon Tava due to its positive reviews. Our waitress was so nice, personable and made suggestions. We wound up ordering a very carb heavy delicious dinner. We ordered these Turkish mini dumplings in yogurt sauce which was tart and interesting never had anything like it before. The kofta kebab was delicious and juicy and so tender super enjoyed. The lahmacun was crispy but the meat inside was perfectly cooked with great veggie accompaniments. The pide is kind of like a Turkish pizza, the mixed meat was nice giving lots of variety. Overall a satisfying meal with lots of leftovers. read more

I'm back, this time for dinner. Maya our server & mixologist is amazing. Made us feel welcome right away, friendly, attentive n informative. This restaurant is really a gem, I cant believe they're been here for 4 years n I just ran into it a few weeks ago! We had Leeche martini one w vermouth n one w Cointreau. Both amazing. The Turkish Rosé is nice n crispy. Their fridge is so cold, made the wine taste extra crispy! We started w the shepard salad. Perfectly dressed. The lamb shishkabob is served w delicious rice n salad. Huge portion, I could only finish half. Yougutlu chicken is also delicious n huge portion. We got a comp baklava desert n off course I gad to try the Turkish coffee. So good. Gets stronger as you drink. Love everything abolitionist this place.

I'm a huge fan of Turkish food and Tava did not disappoint! The baba ghanoush was TOO good especially with their turkish bread. I'll be dreaming about it until I visit again. The chicken adana kebab was also delicious and juicy and came with rice that was perfectly cooked and a side salad. The service was excellent and food came out quickly! So good can't wait to go again!! read more

amazing service, waiters really accommodate for your needs. will definitely come again.

Came here for lunch on a Saturday. Much to my delight, the restaurant was completely empty. We decided to order a few appetizers: the mixed dips, grilled calamari and the falafels. All were worth a try, especially the grilled calamari. For the entree, I'm a lamb fan and the lamb gyro here did not disappoint. I enjoyed each piece that had part of the "skin" on it as it held all the right flavors and spices. My wife had the famous lahmacun which was presented nicely on a cutting board. This was basically a large lamb flatbread. Prices were competitive here with other Turkish restaurants in the neighborhood. My only gripe with this place was the servers not having their masks on. The main waitress was fine but the servers just had them on their chins. Also, when another group entered the restaurant, they were seated directly next to us. Not sure why they had to sit next to us when the restaurant was empty but ok... read more

Wow, wow, and wow again to Tavash Turkish Meditteranean Restaurant. Your food and service are nothing short of amazing! My friend and I arrived to an empty restaurant, but a warm smile from the waitress that helped us navigate the menu and got us delicious and cool old fashions from the bar. My friend got their calamari and I got the baba ghanoush. The calamari came with this marinara type sauce that had a nice kick of spice and went so well with the calamari and the bread! The baba ghanoush did not disappoint either! It was super creamy and had tons of sesame seeds! I had to stop myself from eating all of it as we were brought a fresh platter of their sampler entree that came with beef, lamb, and chicken. Omg!! Everything was grilled and seasoned to perfection--including a pepper ok the side! The rice and salad complemented the meats so well! My friend and I dug in and I so wish I had another stomach as I did not want to stop eating! I am so glad we shared the platter because there is no way we could've had our own entrees! As a side note yhe waitress and other staff were so helpful, funny, and kind. They really made is feel right at home! Absolutely know that I will be back here the next time I am in BK!! A must when in the area! read more

Great spot for some Turkish food. I stumbled upon it on seamless one evening when craving some Turkish food and have been super happy that I did. I've managed to get takeout from here numerous times since and the food had been great every single time. The chicken shish kebab and lamb kebabs are succulent and juicy and incredibly flavorful. The chicken Adana kebab, my personal favorite, is just incredible- so full of flavor and juicy and perfectly balanced with spices. The red sauce that comes with the kebabs is so good too- it's more flavor and less spicy and adds so much to each bite. The babaganush is tasty and smoky and a great accompaniment to the meal, especially with their homemade bread. The salad is good and has a tasty dressing. All in all, just a great meal every time. I can't wait to dine in at the restaurant soon! read more

Was excited to try this place since it has such great reviews. The meat in my mixed platter was all cooked perfectly, but it seriously lacked in flavor and the rice was a mix of mush and undercooked from being underneath the meats. The baba ganoush was also not very flavorful, however the bread it was served with was delicious. read more

I had wanted to go to another restaurant that was on the same block but they had a long wait, so I took a chance on Tava... without looking at Yelp reviews, can you believe that?! Don't hate me for this but I'm only a fan of specific Mediterranean dishes, so their menu wasn't really up my alley. I ended up going with pasta because what could go wrong with pasta, right? I got the penne alla vodka, and it was pretty yummy. I couldn't finish it because it got cold super quickly when I was sitting at the outdoor table. Pro tip: If it's windy on an October day, sit indoors instead! But the staff helped me bag it up and it was still delicious when I heated it up later at home. read more

I was poking around Yelp for a late night healthyish dinner. I love a good mediterranean grill so I was excited to try Tava. We ordered the mixed grill to try a little of everything along with a kofta plate. We didn't get rice, but instead they gave us each a large salad. It also came with grilled vegetables - which was only a tomato slice and a whole jalapeño.. i would've preferred an onion or something a bit more edible. My favorite proteins were definitely the chicken and the kofta. We also ordered the babaganoush which was amazing. One of my favorite I've ever had. It also came with a few pieces of super chewy and tasty sesame flatbread. Will definitely be ordering dinner here again in the future! read more

As I was embedded in Greek Turkish cuisine in Astoria, I am very aware of overpriced gimmicky "ethnic" restaurants in overpriced Park Slope. Guess what? Tava is LEGIT. Prices -- due to inflation -- are fair as possible, while delivery is most reliable out of MOST restaurants in the 11215-11715 zip codes. Compared to others' overpriced excuses, Tava's delicacies are FRESH. Hungry? Tava makes it EASY. FRIENDLY ladies take your order and can help navigate the menu intelligently with sensitivity to specific diets. Overall, Tava provides eaters with STELLAR customer service, especially compared to more trendy restaurants, trying to charge $8.50 to deliver COLD food two blocks away 90 minutes late that are unfamiliar with "their own" menus. Thank GOODNESS we have DELICIOUS Turkish Tava that's easy to do business with! Favorites are lentil soup, falafel (with extra white sauce), dolemades (stuffed grape leaves), and ALL cold spreads (hummus, tzatziki, taramasalata, babagha, etc). Just beware the delicious bread is so fresh best to eat it immediately. Would appreciate 2-4 more stuffed vegetarian grape leaves, but with Tava's delicious homemade magic, who wouldn't? read more

Really good food and service!! Casual vibe. I got the Adana wrap and it was very tasty but could've used a bit more veggies.

We went dined at Tava with family. Upon arriving the staff was very courteous seated us quickly at a prepared table since reservations were made. We started off with the sampler appetizer, which was really amazing. Everything on that dish was superb. For entrees we ordered lamb kebob, the beef kebab, chicken shish kebab, adana kebab, adana wrap and the Lahmacun which I had never tried. Everything was absolutely wonderful. The Lahmacun was a meat pie in a thin, light and flaky bread served with fresh veggies and it hit the spot! Just when we thought it couldn't get better, we indulged with kunefe and the rice pudding which were devoured in minutes! I'd go back in a heartbeat! 5 stars...waaay up! read more
