When you google Halal, or halal Turkish, this restaurant comes up? But when you call they say they are not halal. Sort of misleading.

Nice variety of dishes with lots of vegetarian options. The hummus, bulgar wheat,zucchini latkes, and baklava are all highlights. Waaaaaay too much lettuce for a "Greek" salad!Rather haphazard service.

I've been going here for years. Great for date night or a family gathering or even if you just want to grab a quick lunch. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. A great experience!
I had the lamb stew, which was incredible. Others in my party had salmon kebab, grilled salmon, and falafel. Everyone was very happy with their choices. Great service, helpful waiter.Vegetarian options: I'm not sure since I'm not a vegetarian, but there seemed to be lots of things a veggie could get

I just want to know one thing. Who and how do you get 4 stars on google? Visiting a place like this makes me lose complete trust in google reviews. This is an old place that has not had a renovation in 40 years or more. The food is not good. The staff is nice but they don’t seem to care much. The place including the bathrooms are dirty. I have no idea how they make money. Terrible terrible experience. Save your money and go someplace else.

Sadly I think the owner has given up. The lawn is not mowed, the glass in the front door is cracked, weeds growing tall all over. The food is not worth it. Way over priced and not good. The online menu is not up to date. I should have went with my gut. If the parking lot is empty and the grounds are not attended to walk away. Sorry but Never again.

I've been to ayhan's in the past but never been to this one in Baldwin, came in for lunch, they were out of shrimp, so we ordered the gyro plator, the food was greece, the service was slow, this place is old needs an overhaul, the dishes and utensils were dirty, very disappointed ?.

Soo.. Haven't been here in awhile. Always great service and atmosphere but...I walked in and they had an all you can eat buffet.. Well.. Less just say I'll be coming back more often.. Salad bar was on point..Food was fabulous... plenty of choices and at the end.. baklava!!! BAKLAVA!!! I went on Sunday. Give them a call they'll let you know the days they have it..
I used this restaurant for same day catering! They were so professional and accommodating, Amanda helped so much with what I should order and the food was AMAZING! Everything was good, the chicken kebabs were so juicy and tasty, however the gyros were the talk of the night, I’ll definitely be back!!!

Pros....Nice atmosphere, drink specials, and mostly tasty food. (Lobster bisque was trash. Out of three orders of it, no one in our group really liked it.)Cons....Place was a little chilly. Servers seemed to be new. Our waiter was ok, but had a problem acknowledging when people asked questions or requested items. We had to ASK for our table to be cleared.

I’m convinced that anyone who ate here recently and gave this restaurant 5 stars has no taste buds. The food was simply atrocious. Overall lacking seasoning. The red lentil soup was watered down mush. The breaded fish had no flavor and the lamb was a little on the dry side plus missing salt. The chicken wrap was a mess. The ratio was more salad than chicken. Aside from my harsh review (although truthful), the workers here are friendly and respectful. The only food that saved my appetite was the bread and yogurt that they serve to you before your meals.Parking: Free parking.

My wife had the experience to be there with friends and she told me how much she liked it and recommended it to me and I couldn't hesitate to follow her recommendations. And let me tell you it was amazing the food was awesome delicious as soon that we stepped in to restaurant they were so friendly. Juan Carlos was the waiter and he was so nice since it was my first time tasting Mediterranean food he took his time to explain about the food and specials he made us feel very comfortable . I highly recommend it by the way they have a gift card special if you purchase $100 you'll get $50 gift card total of $150 is worth it . Sorry about the pictures I was so impressed with the amount of food that came on the plate that I forgot to take pictures when it arrived so in the picture it was just what I brought home. I ordered the five kebab feast .
