What to order: Chicken Over Rice · Classic Chicken Gyro · Mavi Breakfast SandwichFrom Google Maps reviews.
This was my first time ever trying Mavi Cafe and omg! I ordered through UberEats for delivery and received the most delicious chicken shish (shish tawook) with a side of chicken gyro which comes with an amazing spread of beautifully made pita bread. This food is literally the best food I ever had in Staten Island, I wish I came across it sooner! Not only is it healthy, but energetically feels just a phenomenal as it tastes. I had to call the restaurant and requested to speak with the Chef Raj ju
We came here after doing a bike tour around New York City and it was absolutely fantastic. I lived in Turkey for two years, and I can say that this food was super authentic. The service was absolutely wonderful and it just complimented the amazing food so well. It was so good that I ended up ordering some more food for my wife who wasn’t even there with me. Would highly recommend this to locals or anyone visiting the area.
The food was the clear standout, with the chicken shish over rice and chicken adana gyro both were flavorful. However, the rest of the experience left much to be desired. The service was okay, the atmosphere felt flat, and the lack of complimentary tap water was a disappointing touch.
