Populairste Turkse restaurants in Bayside

I had dinner at Sea Salt with three friends to celebrate a birthday, and asked for a quiet table. They provided a quiet location but unfortunately there was a group of 4 nearby that became loud and boisterous. Food was very good, especially the zucchini and eggplant chips. Grilled branzino was fine but not very interesting - no sides with it. Halibut was excellent - asked for the lentil salad with it which was also excellent. One person had salmon which she didn't much like. Dessert was lava cake with ice cream - delicious. Service was very good. We would go back and try some of the meat dishes.

Dining at A La Turka is always a consistently great experience. Our party of five had the zucchini pancakes and falafel appetizers and the lamb chops, swordfish, and lamb shish kebab entrees. The warm seasoned bread is addictive. For dessert, we enjoyed the semolina cake and vanilla ice cream that had a hint of pistachio. Our server was personable and attentive and the ambience is lovely.

Excellent food, generous portions. Warm friendly service. A gem.

Highly recommended! Probably the best Turkish food you will find in NYC.
