    Zucchini Pancakes
    Alan L.

    Mediterranean comfort food in a comfortable setting. The dishes were tasty and the portion size was generous. The SpecialMixed Pida was very good. The cocktails were basic but tasty. The service was attentive.

    Free Homemade turkish bread

    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.

    Amazing food
    Alper T.

    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.

    Mezze Mixed Appetizer Plate
    Toyin D.

    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.

    Falafel
    Crystal L.

    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

    Yummy bread with sesame seeds and EVOO/balsamic as appetizer!

    Amazing food! Amazing service! Comfortable, calming atmosphere and wonderful music. Food was super fresh and delicious! Service was phenomenal. Everyone was so welcoming! A perfect start to my New York trip!

    Beef liver
    Cheri G.

    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.

    Cool ambiance.. padded seating+ Food was very good and portions were generous. Service was attentive and good! We did a bottle of the Turkish Rose which was very good. Also the zucchini pancakes which were nicely done. Chicken yogurtula Adana and lamb Kebob Adana meals were tasty and big mains

    I make an order through Uber eat so when I received the order I didn't expect that food it was so nasty and smell

    Mixed Grill - comes with a side salad!
    Anna S.

    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.

    Beef Shish
    Ginger S.

    Beef Shish - tender and flavorful Sultan's Delight - cream was delicious but was a bit salty For the price range and neighborhood, cloth handkerchiefs would be nice. Service was good. Light soft music ethnic Turk

    Arugula salad
    Ang M.

    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 got the chicken kebabs (boring i know) but everything was delicious. And the portions were large. The arugula salad was yummy and very large too. Lots of help running around which felt nice. I would def order take out from this place.

    Menemen

    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.

    Lahmacun. A bit less spiced than other photos.

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.

    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.
