Populairste Midden-oosterse restaurants in Ditmars Steinway

My kind of place . I keep coming back and it never disappoints! Cool vibe , quiet , tasty, yummy drinks . I am boring and always order grilled branzino, but also I try everybody’s food ( just to know ). Every dish is delicious! Needless to say, I will come back many more times !

As a person of Middle Eastern descent, I can attest to the quality of the food here. Super fresh, tasty, and like many others I noticed that the prices seem a tad high — but it’s 2024 in NYC, so what do you expect? Also, service is kind and efficient and the noise level is low enough for normal conversation.

A very enjoyable experience at ABA Turkish. A wide selection of appetizers and main dishes made it a bit difficult to choose but everything we ordered was fresh and hot. We tried both the pistachio and walnut baklavas for dessert and favored the sweeter pistachio. The wine list is limited, but the fact that you can bring your own bottle - without corkage - solved that issue nicely. Definitely a restaurant that we will keep on our radar, even with the somewhat noisy atmosphere (even at the early 5:30 hour - on a Saturday - that we arrived).
