Had dinner there for the first time since COVID . It is newly decorated since our last visit . We highly recommend the mixed cold appetizer - all four items were great , especially the hummus . The bread that started the meal also fantastic . Main courses were the salmon and lamb kabobs . The lamb was cooked perfectly and was much better than a highly rated , expensive restaurant nearby where we live . I even enjoyed the red and white Turkish wines , which we shared one of each . Two things that might annoy patrons . A large bottle of Poland Spring water was brought to our table . We didn’t think much of it since we were thirsty . When the check came . , we noticed a $4.50 charge and a service charge for a table for two . I would have tipped more than that anyway , and even added to the tip because we enjoyed the meal so much . As for the water , no big deal to us but I imagine some people might object to not being asked if they want bottled water . We enjoyed the ambiance , even the music that was playing and most of all the food

I used to go to this place before I moved out of Long Island. I have since moved back and this was one of the first spots since covid restrictions were lifted. My husband had the lamb kebob which he said was good. My chicken kebob was very dry. They brought over bottled Poland spring water which I thought was replacing the tab water. Most restaurants don't charge for water. 4.50 for a bottled water and 4 dollars for a can of diet coke. I feel they should make the customer aware they charge for the water and the coke was out of control. I am use to NY prices but found the quality was a little disappointing.

Perfect and friendly service from numerous hosts. But the food is the story here as I was compelled to forget the lo-carb diet I was just starting so I could indulge in the most delicious breads for seconds and unfortunately thirds. The lamb kebabs were the best I have ever enjoyed any place any time, ever; soft like proverbial butter, absolutely gristle-free, tender and oh so flavorful. All of our appetizers and main courses were utterly perfect and heads above the normally wonderful Turkish food I have enjoyed elsewhere in the New York and Long Island area.
