amNewYork • July 1, 2013This swanky Mediterranean restaurant gets its namesake from the city of Bodrum, Turkey. Enjoy dishes like Baba ghanoush, lamb tagine and a selection of kebabs.

Boris K. • November 30, 2019We had manti & Turkish mixed grill, both were delicious. Most entrees are big enough to split. For dessert, try the kunefe. The service was also great, and they don't allow tipping.. bonus.

Abrar M. • December 7, 2022The food was good but if you don’t pay tips they will run after you in the streets😅

Dana G. • June 12, 2016Nice new turkish place. Just opened a month and a half ago. We had hummus, shepherd's salad and chicken adana plate (1/4th in the pic, comes with rice). All great!! Whatever you get, try the hummus!!

Olivia B. • May 25, 2012Esquisite food in a very cozy restaurant. Try a turkish sauvignon blanc with the chicken stuffed Tavuk Gogsu Sarmasi.

Harlem A. • July 5, 2013You won't go wrong with grilled anything, namely, that smoky octopus. You can't go wrong with their happy hour. Dark lighting requires more candles but that secret back room will suffice. So Turkish!

Morley Z. • July 26, 2021The place is even better than when they were at Nassau! They used to use limp, bought-in pitas, and now they seem to make them fresh. Chicken gyro and kebabs are fantastic, and the rice is amazing.

Erika N. • June 17, 2012The Turkish food in the case is superb, especially the tabbouleh and eggplant. Also now do breakfast sandwiches! And such friendly family service. These guys are a wonderful part of the neighborhood.
