We love Masa!! Our drinks included a whiskey sour, which was incredible. I'm gluten free, and the chicken shawarma (listed as GF) was deliciously spiced and filling. My husband got a Turkish flatbread, which he loved. We ended with a panna cotta and a Turkish rice pudding, both of which were not too sweet and very flavorful. Our new favorite spot in Kingston!

We visited Masa last Saturday for dinner. Once we were seated we waited for 30 minutes and no one came by to leave us the menu. I'm not exaggerating, we arrived at 6pm and as no one dropped a menu by 6.30 we left. Other tables who came in later than we did, had their orders taken before we received a menu. Very sad this was our first, and probably last time visiting Masa.

I recently indulged in khachapuri during my trip to Prague a few weeks ago, and experiencing it again at home was an absolute delight. The flavors were just as fantastic, making it a truly memorable encore.Additionally, the whipped feta was a delightful accompaniment, and serving it in a staub cocotte added a lovely touch to the overall presentation. Highly recommend!

Great food at a reasonable price. Love the chicken shawarma. Fantastic desserts.
This place was a nice find. Wifey always on the look out.A tough couple days...taxes..... so we got our reward. Kosta for me, delicate hamburger and lamb mixture with mint and spices, not hot at all. Wifey...falafel sandwich .. very good she says. Friendly smiling staff. Gotta check if open. No open every day. They have these delish bakedGoods about the size of a danish....Phyllis dough with choice of spinach, potatoes, beef,chicken. I bought on of each...all delish...even after reheating. Special teas and coffee. Enjoy

This place has hands down some of the best Turkish food I have ever had! And I lived around the corner from a place in Brooklyn you had to wait a month to get a reservation for. Food is just amazing! Turkish eggs at brunch blew my mind.

I have to say. I have very very high standards when it comes to Mediterranean food. The food at Masa is amazing!! Best Turkish food in town. My vegetarian friends where also very impressed with the vegetarian options as well. If you are in town, I recommend trying this place. Your taste buds will not be disappointed.
My new favorite Kingston spot. Honestly, it's also my first as I've loved some Kingston spots, but nothing like this. The really wonderful thing about Masa is that it isn't merely "Mediterranean", but authentically Turkish. In other words, instead of the same generic hummus and tabbouleh that everyone has, you get distinctively-prepared versions of the classics, alongside some very specific Turkish preparations, spices and presentation. We ordered the Meze platter and falafel bites with Raki. I realize that most Mediterranean places with a bar may have Raki, but served in proper glasses over ice with a pitcher of ice-water on the side is absolutely heavenly, especially with meze. I mean, I was eating the freaking garnish. Another thing of note is the little Turkish market by the checkout. It's a limited selection, but well curated. For instance, they have Turkish Delight, which is almost universally a foul, cloying imitation of the real thing. Their's is spectacular and made me forget every other version I've ever had. The prices are also great and avoid the trap of overtly bougie "import items" you often see in this area. I don't think I paid more than $5 for any of the 5 items we purchased on our way out. There is also a really lovely bakery section featuring all sorts of sweets including lovely-looking simit (we didn't order any, but they looked fantastic). Oh, and the owner/chef brought us our meal, so we got to meet her. Lovely staff, lovely atmosphere and fantastic food!

Don’t skip out on this wonderful Turkish restaurant! It’s a little hidden and you can easily pass it on Broadway, but go in and having a delicious freshly prepared Turkish meal! It is a thing of beauty. It’s great for lunch and the owner is welcoming and generous.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Kingston. I have frequent dreams about their food—it’s approachable, fresh, delicately flavored, and perfectly executed. My mom plans her visits to Kingston around Masa’s open days. Saturday brunch is particularly delicious and gentle-paced. I would give them more stars if I could. Their catering is also great.
