    Finally got a chance to stop by this place for lunch, and I can tell you that it's an authentic, Turkiye-cozy, and delicious restaurant with lots of vegetarian options. First of all, the interior is warm and inviting with elements of Turkish designs and makes you feel at ease. Menu is pretty straight-forward, with a long list of appetizers separated by cold or hot, which I found was thoughtful, especially for ladies who may want to know if an app is cold or not. Some oven items, pita sandwiches, and of course, main courses. We ordered lightly since it was a lunch: 1. Muhteber (Cold App, $8.5, 3/5) - We love babaghanoush and order it all the time so figured we'd try something else. This is char-grilled eggplant w/ aged feta and walnut (tree nut allergy warning!) which was rather ... bland though had interesting bite texture. We ate it with their hot & chewy pita bread and while it felt wholesome, it wasn't as tasty as good ole babaghanoush. 2. Mixed Pide (Entree, $22, 4/5) - Basically a large flat bread pizza from oven, it was quite delicious w/ smoky cumin flavor permeating the mouth-watering spicy sausage & pastrami. It was a satisfying savory & crunchy bite that was filling. 3. Chicken Shish wrap (Entree, $17.5, 4/5) - A bit smaller than what I'm used to, it was well-balanced in meat & veggie ratio, and the sauce they use was delicious. Came with pipin'-hot fries! We also enjoyed their fresh squeezed OJ and Turkish tea which was served in the authentic tea cup w/ base. We also had a nice chat with our waitress who was from Izmir, Turkey which we recently traveled nearby on our cruise, so that was rather nice. I saw locals walk on over for a meal, which made sense since it's surrounded by condo complexes and does not have a large parking lot. However, they do have a side street so you can still find parking there. We enjoyed our meal and will be back to try main courses as well!

    I came to Tosun on a Tuesday night a few weeks ago. It was fairly empty with only 2 other tables with people. Starting with what I liked, the food. The food here is was excellent to say the least. Appetizers were very good and I liked the hummus. I had the beef kebab and it was honestly one of the best I've had. My mother had the salmon and she liked how it was prepared. We had the Balkava for desert. It was good, but a bit too sweet for me. One thing I do want to note is this restaraunt does not serve alcohol, so make sure to come with a bottle of wine, if you drink. Overall, I would say the food here is 4/5. The service here was shockingly bad. Getting the waiters to serve us was like pulling teeth and they had a bad attitude. My son came first and he asked for water for everyone. The waiter brings a closed bottle of poland spring and didn't pour it for anyone. When I arrived with my wife and mother, we brought a bottle of wine and the waitress hands us a bottle opener instead of opening it and pouring it. I then tried to get a waiters attention and they were just roaming around to help open it for us. After about 5 minutes of trying to get a waiter over, they came and opened the bottle. It took a long time for the waiter to come and take our orders even if we tried to get their attention. As we were dining the waiters did not come once to our table. I understand if the restaraunt is full but it was practically empty. After we ate, the waiters disappeared somewhere we had to wait for 10 minutes to ask for the bill. Even then, they didn't want to walk over to us. I have never seen such poor service and was shocked that a good restaraunt has this issue. Service was 0.01/5. Finally, the bill. The bill includes tips and I would have left half of what was computed given how terrible the service was. The bill was much more than I expected and I didn't like how expensive it was. Overall, I had a great meal here but the service I received was just terrible.

    We came here for our anniversary dinner, attracted by the nice view and tasty looking food. They definitely did not disappoint! Food: This Turkish spot in Edgewater serves great Mediterranean fare. We ordered the calamari to start, and then followed it up with the Mixed Grill and Skirt steak which both came with their own sides. Wow these portions were big. One entree could probably have fed the both of us comfortable. We ended up having to take the leftovers away. Very tasty! Service: We got there around 5 pm on Saturday night without a reservation and were seated right away. The servers were very patient in explaining some of the Turkish menu items I was unfamiliar with. Ambiance: The decor of this place is definitely outstanding. There is outdoor patio seating with string lights which would be perfect for a warm night. Inside, they have very nice decor as well so there are aesthetic options wherever you end up sitting!

    What a local gem. Came out for a casual dinner after long day at work. Great food, great service. Reasonable prices. We definitely will be coming back.

    Lahmacun ($8) But not as great as before

    Mediterranean/Greek/Turkish food - A selection hard to find in this area, but the food is decent and it's BYOB. Always a must get is : Shepherd's Salad (with lots of herbs!!!!!) Shrimp casserole (Tomato sauce) - Great for dipping with bread as if it's Shashuka ^^ Their dips are great !!!!Tzatziki, hummus, babaganoush, etc. Baklava & Kunefe for dessert !!!!! I am usually a big fan of Lahmacun, but this time, I wouldn't know why, but the meat smell (??? Lamb????) was unpleasant. Maybe we should opt for lahmacun at another Turkish restaurant at Cliffside Park. But, all in all, Marmaris is worth it.

    Pistachio Baklava

    Food is really tasty, on the healthier side. Feels like a true Turkish experience. Cozy and beautiful atmosphere. Very nice and attentive servers.

    Very tasty and authentic Turkish cuisine! Went here with my mentor who is from Turkey and we ordered a variety of appetizers/ finger foods. He surprised me and ordered in Turkish with the waitress, so I only knew what some of the dishes were but not all. The dessert was to die for and I really enjoyed the Lahmacun, the shepherds small salad, the Muhteber with the pita bread was also tasty and the feta in phyllo (sigara boregi) were super delicious. They had thinly slice liver (which I don't really like but, since it was very thin, I was able to have some pieces) would definitely recommend!

    Pistachio puff pastry with clotted cream...so delicious!

    I come here for breakfast. I keep forgetting to take pics before I eat, so going to need people to trust me in my review. The omelette with sucuk (sausage) is very good. Platter comes with cut fries and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. As for the desert, the pistachio puff pastry with clotted cream is really good; not to sweet for a desert. It has the right amount of sweetness. Staff is pleasant. Will recommend.

    Dunpling

    Food is pretty good. I wish dumplings had more seasoning. Bread, salad, and dips were tasty. Ataff was nice

    Caramelized milk pudding. good but would've preferred it served warm. Fresh raspberry preserves with it were tart and awesome!

    See all

    Okay, so toward the end of July, I was hanging out with my cousin and we were trying to figure out…read morewhat to eat. We were in the mood for a gyro plate, something simple, something good. She suggested Halal Chicks because she had ordered from them before and said their chicken over rice was really good. So I'm like, alright, let's try it. And honestly? It was really good. Like, genuinely delicious. I ordered the chicken over rice platter, and the portion size was huge. It came with the chicken over rice, fries, salad, and pita--everything you want your platter to have. And let me tell you, I ate off that thing for two days. The flavor was there, the seasoning was seasoned-ing, and everything tasted super fresh. Now, let's talk about the fries because oh my God... their fries are everything. I love a good fry, and these fries hit every mark--crispy, seasoned, and a great portion. The salad was fresh, the pitas were perfect (I love me some chopped pitas), and they give you all the sauces--white sauce, BBQ, hot sauce--so you can really make it how you want it. We DoorDashed ours from the Heights location, and even with delivery, everything held up beautifully. Fresh, flavorful, hot--no complaints. And listen, I really don't think you can go wrong with halal food. Chicken over rice is one of those things that, when done right, it just hits. And Halal Chicks did not miss at all. I also looked into them a bit and saw that they're minority-owned and locally sourced, which makes me love them even more. Especially in today's climate, supporting our local and minority-owned businesses is important. They're showing up for the community, so let's show up for them. Overall, food was great. The portions are amazing. The flavor is on point. And I would definitely order from them again. Go check them out--they have a few locations. Let me know what you think!

But the man serving customers at the counter (on a Sunday afternoon) was so: gentle, kind, polite, welcoming and respectful that he immediately put me at ease. I relaxed into this new environment. And I read their menu two or three times; then, I decided on a falafel gyro. It was only 9.99, which makes it really affordable for the UWS! Plus, I got to choose which veggies and sauces to put on it. I enjoyed that sense of agency with my food...I'm not a picky eater, just highly selective. : ) With that, he patiently assisted me in making a beautiful and colorful falafel gyro, which I enjoyed quite a lot. I even texted some of the following photos to my Dad, since I thought this dish looked so gorgeous! : ) My Dad agreed. Hehe ~ With that, this place's low key and friendly vibe paired with its inexpensive pricing (for what you're receiving), makes it a wonderful neighborhood attraction. The food was so delicious, and the location was so convenient! (It's just one street and an Avenue away from the 1 train at 96th.) Go check out Shah's today -- you surely won't leave hungry! : ) With Gratitude, Peace & Love, Katherine "Kat"

Went great with all the other accouterments such as slightly cinged wedge of tomato and onion slices, all frolicking on a bed of warm rice that had a nice bite. Adana Kebap (MAIN, 4/5) - My colleague had this one, and I tried a piece. It was juicy and had no hint of gaminess which is always a plus for lamb. 3. Service (3/5) - This being a mom & pop store, I think they're short on staff. Usually they're all in the back cooking, so you do need to be a bit patient to flag someone down. But I'm sure they're more attentive during busy hours. (We went during weekday) Overall, Hakki Baba is a solid turkish mom & pop shop that delivers on great authentic flavor at a reasonable price. In the sea of turkish restaurants in Cliffside Park area, this one is one of my favorite. Pay them a visit!
