163 Elizabeth Street, Manhattan 10012What to order: Turkish Meatballs · Sultan's Delight · Lentil Soup · Mom's Recipe OkraFrom Google Maps reviews.
I had the lentil soup, Turkish meatballs, mom’s okra, and Sultan’s Delight — everything was fresh and absolutely delicious. The menu blends traditional Turkish flavors with a modern twist, and they’ve done it so well. The atmosphere is cozy and chic, with an aesthetic that made me feel right at home. Loved everything about it! A side note: if you’re paying with Blackbird, they automatically add a 20% tip which is not a problem for me
Amazing hospitality from all of the staff and the owner! Food and drinks were amazing. Definitely need to come back to try more food. Interior was so beautiful as well!!
Amazing service— the waitress and manager were both phenomenal. The (delicious) baklava usually comes with three pieces, but they upped it to four for our party of four and sent us free amaro 🥲 The food was delicious. Our plates were completely clean when we were done. It’s so hard to find a place in SoHo that isn’t overrun with loud, obnoxious tourists. This is a place New Yorkers can sit and enjoy an amazing meal. Thank you!
