As far as authentic Persian experiences go, Turkish Cuisine in the Hell's Kitchen District really cannot be beat. Once you step foot in this place you will feel that you have been transported direct to the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. The donor kebabs are highly sought after, as is the Turkish coffee for lunch. With the abundance of fresh vegetables served with every dish at Turkish Cuisine, you really cannot go wrong.

For a cultural experience, consider taking the family to Turkish Cuisine for your next gathering. The menu contains a bit of everything, so even the most discerning of taste buds are likely to find something that appeals. Consistent", "tasty" Turkish fare at "reasonable" rates make this Theater District veteran a "delightful" choice "pre-curtain". Full review Zagat. Turkish cuisine has a beautiful heated backyard seating area .

    Excellent meal. We ordered a little of everything: drinks, soup, appetizers, a couple of main courses, dessert. All of it was well-presented and delicious.

    The food is delicious! We were waited on by 3 excellent servers. The main waiter made good suggestions and answered our questions. Especially good was the spicy eggplant appetizer. Our dinner was relaxing and we could hear each other talk. Highly recommended. We will be back.

    My first time dining here after a Broadway show, and I have to say I was pretty impressed. The waiters and waitresses rotated, and every single one of them was very very polite. They seem to actually enjoy what they were doing. They came over often with big smiles on their faces and seemed interested in sharing their knowledge. I had the chicken kebabs and they were fantastic. My dining partner had the lamb chops, which they said were very very tasty. We had two drinks, the sour cherry juice, and some sort of lemonade. Both of them were delicious. Calamari as an appetizer tasted good but I felt the portion size was a little small from what I normally get at restaurants. We finished it off with a fantastic pistachio desert. The value for the location and the amount of food you get cannot be beat I highly recommend and will definitely be back.

    We usually love this charming restaurant, but last night must have been an off-night for them. It took a half hour for our food to be brought out and the server never came over until we motioned for her to please bring the check. We had a 7:30 show to catch and we would have been late if we had waited for her to come to our table so we could order another dish, or to bring the check.

    Disappointing. Attractive restaurant and friendly staff. BUT the food ranged from good (babaganoush, dessert) to mediocre (chicken over yogurt) to bad (spinach pie). The portions were all small. Even the pita was meager. A few dishes were charged more than stated on the menu. The drinks were overpriced ($17 for a glass of mediocre white wine). We really miss Pasha on the Upper West Side!!

    This is a place I have been coming to for years. It is reliably good. It is not fancy (no white table cloths), but not too noisy and the service is very nice ( does not hang over you, but there when you need it). A good "neighborhood" restuarant in the theater districct. Extremely convenient if you are going to the theater.

    We did the lunch menu (w/o the free drink). It was delicious. We shared the dessert- a Turkish pudding with Oreos and had the apple teas. Certainly tasty and couldn't eat another bite.

    This is one of my go to restaurants, especially when entertaining out of town friends. It is quiet and conducive to conversation and a lovely small space. The service is excellent as is the food. In spite of the location of the restaurant, it is not filled with tourists. It is truly a local gem.

    The hostess was very accommodating. She showed us the indoor space, and the patio, but we chose to sit out front. The service was very friendly and helpful. We had the spicy hummus, soup, and a special appetizer. For the entree, we shared the mixed grill for one. Everything was delicious.

    My second visit to Turkish Cuisine and the food is so delicious! We appreciated the attentive service, too. While the grapeleaves and avocado hummus were superb there were three grape leaves and, for the price, seemed a little meager. We had the bronzino, which was delicious, but, again...pricey. The iced tea and hot mint tea were both really refreshing, but considering that we did not drink alcohol, our bill came to about $180. That seems really high. Doubtful I'd go back, since I can find excellent Turkish food for much less (under $100/for 2), but I do like the option if I'm on that side of town...Again, it's not for someone on a budget.

Nice photos & artwork on all the walls. And the bathroom is a HOOT! Staff was great - very attentive - would recommend this to anybody going to a theater near here. 💖👍 Jody

The food was to die for! It was so delicious!!! We are there on our last night in NYC and before our “grand finale” event of seeing Phantom of the Opera. Having this delicious meal at such a great place made the night even more special!

    Every time we come the food is excellent and the staff are so friendly and attentive. It’s perfect for before theatre or even Lincoln Center. It’s a slow calm vibe where you can relax and enjoy dinner but the service is fast enough that you don’t have to worry about the time to get to a show. It’s a beautiful atmosphere a real oasis and the prices are very reasonable
