مطعم جميل للطبخ العربي و التركي. 8/10 taste and authenticity (they can to add more sumac and salt to the food) ‍ 10/10 service Way over priced but probably that's NYC prices. Ambience is very casual but very dull. No music and no cultural feel to it even though they added cultural designs. It would be nice if it was more vibrant.

WoWa WeWa! You will not be disappointed by this gem, but I like their other location way better. This one is small yet comfy.

Lamb Gyro
Matthew C.

Really great Turkish food. We ordered the Mediterranean salad and hummus for appetizers and I went with the lamb gyro for my main. The lamb is sliced thin & served with rice and a salad. My only complaint about the menu is their hot appetizer options. It had food like mozzarella sticks, fried calamari, etc. I wish I had more authentic options to choose from. Special thanks to Yosef for great service and overall respectfulness during our dinner. Highly recommend this spot for either dining in or taking out! Will be back.

Mediterranean salad

The restaurant decor is very Turkish with very comfortable chairs. The service staff is very helpful and friendly. After we paid, the manager made sure he thanked us for coming and made sure to tell us it was great seeing everyone again. The food is always fresh and delicious. My son had the lamb gyro, my wife had the beef gyro and I had the chicken. All were delicious.

Babaganoush
Anna C.

We stopped here for lunch on our way back home to Long Island on Saturday afternoon. It was our first time here. The ambience is casual and friendly. The service was amazing. We were immediately greeted and seated upon entering. The food did not disappoint. We ordered a Mediterranean salad which was enough to share among three of us. The salad was freshly prepared with the perfect dressing to bring out the flavors of onions, feta, corn, olives, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. The babaganoush was excellent paired with fresh bread. Our entrees were generous portions even though we ordered the small size. The chicken and lamb were expertly cooked and so juicy! I can't say enough about this establishment and a must try right on Hylan Blvd. Please give this place a try!

At first glance, the area might not raise your expectations--it's a bit on the shabby side--but…read moredon't let that fool you. This place turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Parking is convenient, with spots available on both sides of the restaurant and across the street, which is always a plus in New Jersey. Once inside, the atmosphere completely shifts. The interior is warm, inviting, and thoughtfully designed, giving off an authentic and comfortable vibe. The staff were equally impressive--attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food lived up to the experience. Everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared, though I would say it leans toward the more expensive side. Paying 18% and then 2 % card fee seems a bit much on the top of that the courses were a bit pricey. That said, the quality is there. The fresh bread and olives served at the start were exactly what we needed--simple, delicious, and perfect after arriving hungry. Overall, a great find that rises well above its surroundings. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Our first visit to Seabass Taverva:…read more Fresh and delicious seafood! We had the BAKED LEMON COD Seasoned and finished with a lemon butter sauce, served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables RED SNAPPER (STEAMED) Delicately steamed whole red snapper with vegetables Both were dishes were cooked to a perfection. The fish melted in our mouths and every mouth full rippled with flavor! The establishment is family-owned. We especially enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. It is welcoming and friendly. We met Burak, Yidis, and Delma, owners of the restaurant. Very nice people! We would recommend this place for a cozy lunch or dinner, with friends and family. It's even a place you can bring your date to! You will not be disappointed!

First time to this fairly new establishment. Greeted warmly by staff…read more -for the table -roasted red pepper dip with walnuts which was one of my favorite things served with warm cut up pita bread which wasn't enough for the pepper dip and the mezze so you have to keep asking for more bread. Maybe serve whole pieces of pita? - cold appetizer - Mezze trio of eggplant salad , one of the most amazing tzatzikis I've ever had, and hummus. The eggplant salad tasted a little bitter to me. - my main was whole fried snapper. Nice and crunchy but a little bland. Small side salad also was a little bitter tasting. Lemon potatoes were a little disappointing. They could be a little more lemony. - friend had baked cod with potatoes and seasonal veggies. Desert was written on menu as strawberry crème brûlée but it was actually regular crème brûlée with small slices of strawberries on the edge. It was delicious. There has been a surge of Mediterranean restaurants opening in Staten Island and there is a lot of competition. There's a small parking lot in the rear so that helps since New Dorp is tight. Service was excellent. Clean restroom. Glad to see a large crowd dining on a Friday evening.

Interior design is so aesthetically pretty and provides a wonderful and elegant dining experience!…read moreThe service provided by Behrouz was attentive, friendly, and warm, which definitely helped enhance the dining experience! Now onto the main topic, the food: This is by far one of the better middle eastern/seafood restaurant in all of Staten Island! The appetizers that were amazing were the chargrilled octopus, which is a MUST-GET, and the half dozen oysters which was by far one of the sweetest oysters we ever had (it was so good we ordered 3 orders!) The tuna tartare, calamari, and lobster bisque were all decent but nothing too special. For entree, the lobster pasta was perhaps one of the best tomato based pasta I ever had! Although the amount of lobster in the dish was on the smaller amount for its price, the flavor was so savory, sweet, and perfectly tangy, highly recommend it! The sea bass was good according to my family, but the flavor was on the milder side in my opinion; they liked it nonetheless so perhaps it's just a personal preference at this point. The lamb shank I would not get due to how overpowering it was; the sauce was salty and intense, where it overwhelmed every part of the dish. It was unfortunate because the lamb was so tender and had a nice proportion between its meatiness and its fat content. The dry aged steak was only okay too, since the spinach was so watery it soaked the steak in its liquid (as you can see from the photo), which detracted from the dish unfortunately. Overall it was a decent dining experience, where some were amazing and others were less so. It's a pricey dining experience but if you get all the right dishes, it's worth the price tag! Definitely recommend giving Sea Bar a try and I can't wait to come back again one day to give them the five stars I know they can definitely accomplish! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

Sas efcharistó, this cute Greek vibe was a hit, came for my birthday dinner close to closing and…read morethe waiter BEHROUZ treated us like gold. all his recommendations were excellent (they have an amazing $50 prefix menu great with options). They offered hummus and bread--super fresh. Ohhh, Get the lobster bisque it had the biggest pieces of lobster I've ever seen in lobster bisque!!! The calamari were cooked to perfection. They had the grilled watermelon salad and beets apps also delicious . Bronzino that was given was a hearty amount. The drinks were on point. They sang happy birthday and even though the kitchen was closed they made sure we didn't feel rushed or pressured. Can't wait to come try more and to get the soup again. See you there
