Hannah Chusid: Garlic whip, baba ganoush, and grape leaves. Enough said.
Yasemin Biktim: Best place to eat in New York!! Food is outstanding!! Very tasty.. Try the Lamb Sish Kebab with Babaganoush 😊 Love this place ❤️
Ryan: Amazing lunch spot. Get a bowl, pick a meat, and ask for everything in it.
Carmen N: Good falafel & baba ganoush & bonus baklava with your order.
Jonathan Ching: Great chicken schwarma platter includes sides like baba ganoush, potatoes, and tabouleh.
Jeff S: I cannot even begin to describe how delicious the food is here. There is a reason that at lunch the line wraps around the block. Chicken shawarma platter with tabbouleh and hummus is my favorite.

Angela: Delicious babaganoush, borek (mmm like salty mozzarella sticks), and if they have it, baby blue fish
Wejdan ✨: Pretty much the best muhammara in the city! Maybe ever! Ali nazik was a great dish, minsed beef on top of baba ghanouge. I really haven't enjoyed my food as this time in so long.
Andreas Cohen: Focus on the Ottoman cuisine here and you’ll do well. Manti, Muhummara, Lebni, Adana, Turkish sausage, Calf’s liver, yum 😋
hania albraikan: The sujouk lollipop and baba ganouh appetizer is awesome, don't miss the adana kebab 😍
Elegran: Refined ambiance and decor make it a perfect place for business lunch in Grand Central area. Also a good spot to share delicious lavash chips and hummus with friends, and enjoy a good bottle of wine. Read more.
Murat Ülker: The atmosphere is just like Beyoglu/Istanbul, the food is great and delicious.

Bakery · Sutton Place · 46 tips and reviews
Wejdan ✨: The eclairs are amazing! I can't wait to try all the flavors. Milk chocolate and dolce de leche are must! Expensive but totally worth it!
Serious Eats: A small bakery with some excellent pastries. Don't miss the fresh croissants.
Zayed Khan: One of the better pains au chocolat I've had in NYC. Buttery w/o being heavy, perfectly flaky, and a healthy amount of filling (double chocolate rolls: rich and not overly sweet).

Michael G.: Beautiful decor in a spacious setting, ideal for large parties. The food was surprisingly healthy and light. Nothing in particular stood out as fantastic, but the food was solid.
Morgan McKee: Newer place, and it’s obvious. Not so crowded and service a little frazzled. However, food was decent and the space was nice. Could be something if food steps it up and service is improved.
Anais Hausvater: Fattoush is amazing!

Emily K.: Do not skip these dessert: vanilla millefeuille, chocolate soufflé with pistachio ice cream (with crunchy pistachio bits), profiteroles with tableside chocolate sauce service.
Eater: The bar room is a cool place for after-work cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and on the weekends, Benoit serves one of the best brunches in Midtown (it includes a dessert buffet). [Eater 38 Member]
nymag: The three-course, $25 lunchtime prix fixe menu is one of the better deals in midtown. And per Adam Platt, the signature tarte flambée is worth a special trip. Read more.

Courtney ORourke: The most amazing Lebanese food I've tasted. Try the jalapeño hummus, and the spicy garlic shrimp. Incredible flavors.
Courtney ORourke: My favorite!. I visit every time I'm here in the city. Fattouch, spicy shrimp, spicy hummus, schwarma. Don't let the waiter take away spicy shrimp bowl until you've soaked up every drop with the pita.
Nouf Dee: The best Lebanese food ever
Brett Fromme: Amazing variety of food and drinks. Their overstuffed sandwiches for 7.95 are one of the best deals in Manhattan. The hot bar has incredible variety. Also Salads, quesadillas, panini, ramen, pasta ...
