    Perfect for a family celebration dinner. Service was excellent and the food and wine were great . They were very accommodating with one of our guests who had a seafood and peanut allergy. Would absolutely go back.

    Review: Pera – Home of the “BEST ADANA in USA” Pera in Manhattan delivers an unforgettable Turkish dining experience — and without a doubt, serves the best Adana kebab in the U.S. The meat is perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with that signature smoky heat you expect from true Adana. It’s a standout dish that’s both rustic and refined. But the experience doesn’t stop there. The mixed meze plate is a visual and flavor-packed delight — a beautifully arranged. Each bite offered a different texture and taste, balancing freshness with rich Mediterranean depth. The staff was warm, attentive, and made me feel genuinely welcome — Between the elegant presentation, bold flavors, and thoughtful service, Pera is a must-visit for anyone who loves authentic, elevated Turkish cuisine.

    The noise level at 6.00 on a Wednesday night was appalling and ruined an otherwise very good meal. The ceiling is a downard curved shape that amplifies the nose level to the tables--when a couple of us changed seats so they could talk with the other people at a round table for six, we discovered that one of the seats ws worse than the other. They were very busy so I doubt will make any change but there are six people living here in NYC who won't be going back there again.
