A la Turka

Had a wonderful dinner this evening. Aside from the amazing food and atmosphere the staff at A la Turka is awesome. Friendly, helpful, accommodating and welcoming. Best service experience I've had in a restaurant in a long time. Will definitely visit again.

I came to NYC with my husband and randomly picked the place before the trip, however I familiarized myself with the menu and the guests’ reviews prior to coming there. A la Turka was one of my favorite experiences during my trip. The quality of the food is amazing. Each dish was seasoned perfectly, with fresh ingredients and I could say the lamb meat was very fresh and of an outstanding quality. In addition the waiter was very helpful in making my food selections. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to taste of an authentic Turkish cuisine! I’m definitely going back to enjoy again 😋

Had the lahmacun, manti, Adana kebab, kunafa, and Turkish tea. All were delicious and the staff were nice as well!

Elegant restaurant with good food. We went there for dinner on a Sunday evening and there was plenty seating available. The staff was courteous and friendly.
I would recommend the mixed meat platter, it was absolutely delicious.

Best Turkish restaurant in NYC. Can’t go wrong with findik lahmacun and mezzes.

Staff is friendly, & attentive. The ambience is great, didn’t even realize I was there for so long talking. I had cigars, tzatziki & chicken Adana , my friend had the lamb chops which she said was delicious! So was my food.

Used a PULSD to try out the place. Worth every penny. The portions of food are huge (but be a little greedy, it is THAT good). The bread was hot and fresh, the eggplant is a perfect way to start the meal. The chicken village is everything you could ask for in a meal: full and flavor and delicious. If you can eat desset try the chocolate mousse. The winner was the feta cigars. The service is what every restaurant should strive for. Mos def going back

I went here with my family and had one of everything because my family is nice to me for some reason. The beef kebab was the best, the shrimp was 2nd, the octopus 3rd and the lamb was 4th. The zucchini pancakes were way too good - i could have kept eating them, and the falafel was good. Im not a fan of babaganoush but my family loved it. Wasnt a fan of the margarita but it was a good size, the service was professional but absent. Lots of tables to check on.

Ill be heading back on date nights definitely. Top tier spot!

This spot will become a favorite of mine, it is so good! The atmosphere is nice, and the food is incredible. Everything we got was tasty. Don’t skip on desert if come here, the baklava with ice cream was delicious and it was hard to pick a desert because they all seemed amazing.

Went for their lunch special, where you get a 3 course meal for under $30. Lamb was so delicious 😋. We will definitely be back for more!

I have walked past here a million times and finally went with a friend. Everything was so good. We split the hummus for an appetizer and the bread was so soft and amazing. For my dish I had the hunkar begendi and it was one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. Cannot recommend a la Turks enough!

Food and staff were fantastic. The best Turkish food since I had it in the Middle East. Will definitely return.

We happen to be neighbours to this restaurant, and we couldn’t resist checking it out for dinner after seeing all the amazing looking food out there every day. We were pleasantly surprised when the food tasted even BETTER than it looked…we would rate it a 11/10 if we could 😋 On top of that, the service was outstanding. All of the staff were spectacular and the atmosphere was the best. Overall a fantastic experience, and we’ll definitely be back again!

Amazing Turkish food!!!! At first we thought the prices were a bit high but when we got served, we were pleasantly surprised by the portions and how delicious the food was. The service was also great, they give you delicious bread to start and we highly recommend trying their hummus.

Hands down the most DELICIOUS. restaurant I have ever eaten at. The service was exceptional. Our water was so professional, kind and passionate. You really feel the love and heart that goes into the food and I will definitely be going back. My family and I loved it we shared a bunch of the dishes and they were all insanely delicious. Wow. Truly blown away by how good it was.

We had a nice dining experience! Food was really good and so is the cocktails! Authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Great service as well! The octupus and chicken were really good! Highly recommend!

Went to dinner with a friend and the food was delicious, the wine recommendation was amazing for a Turkish wine. Would definitely recommend for dinner. Dessert looked delicious and they had a wide variety.

I’m not a huge fan of Turkish food, but the octopus leg and complimentary bread are DIVINE. Service is great too. If you’re celebrating birthday they’d make sure you get the spotlight (we saw another table doing it). A bit pricey, but I guess this is UES.

Was visiting a friend on the UES and we came in here for dinner. Its a nice little place on the corner of 74th and 2nd.

Service was amazing. We were seated immediately and told the waitress, that we hadn't seen each other in a few months and wanted to catch up.

To start we ordered 2 glasses of wine and a falafel appetizer to start.. The falafel was excellent. Came 5 pieces to the order. It was crisp and full of flavor and served with tahini for dipping.

For the main course we shared Stuffed Cabbage. 3 large cabbage rolls stuffed with lamb in a sweet tomato sauce and served with garlic yogurt. Big enough to share.

The food was very good and the ambiance was nice. It was quiet and my friend and I were able to sit, enjoy and talk. Thank you for a nice evening!

The best Turkish restaurant we have been coming to for last 20 years. The lamb adana kebabs are so juicy and delicious that we come from upstate NY to pick up biweekly. Suleman and Yasim are amazing they make sure we always get the order right and they pack in the goodness!! Adana come wrh rice, peppers,onions and dipping sauces. We also order the Shepard's salad to complete the meal.
