ISTANBLUE KEBAB HOUSE(Ave J)

The restaurant is located in the Midwood section of Brooklyn.  They prepare Turkish cuisine.  They have a nice variety of appetizers, entrees, desserts and beverages.  I ordered the ezme appetizer which was mildly spicy.  The chicken gyro and salmon shish kebob were tasty.  The islander kebob was in a platter with layers of lamb and yogurt on the side.  The pita breads were excellent.  The food was well-prepared and portions were generous.  Friendly and helpful staff.

The experience at Istanbul Kebab House (Ave J) was a letdown from start to finish! The toilet is an absolute travesty—tiny beyond belief, forcing you to squeeze through the door sideways like a contortionist. It screams of sheer indifference to customer comfort, as if they begrudgingly slapped it together just to meet some legal requirement, checking off a box with the bare minimum effort. Inside, it’s a dreary, uninspired mess—cheap, tacky finishes and furniture that look like they were scavenged from a clearance sale. The shawarma? A measly 3 out of 5—bland and forgettable. For real flavor, nothing beats the legendary shawarma from Genatsvale in Brighton Beach; this place doesn’t even come close! Save your time and appetite for somewhere that actually cares.

Food was really great. I felt a bit authenticity of Istanbul. Price was really good and I love the food actually. Enough room for people to seat in there. And I like the way they decorated their meats, just like on a street or in a restuarant at Istanbul. Service was good too. I like the way they made it and it was quick other than the dishes takes longer time to cook. If you live around in Brooklyn, you must try it.

The staff were very positive and smiling and giving above and beyond to make u feel welcomed. I had takeout but they seated me and gave me chai to drink . Absolutely recommend

Today I was with my husband and child, everything was incredibly tasty, the meat just melted in my mouth, I’m generally silent about the baklava, very tender. The service staff is very helpful, we will definitely come back💯

Omar Mediterranean Cuisine

Absolutely delicious! Omar Mediterranean Cuisine nails it with fresh, flavorful dishes and warm, welcoming service. We tried their signature dish it was delicious especially the eggplant salad.  Don’t skip the baklava for dessert!

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff genuinely cares about your experience. Whether you’re a Mediterranean food lover or trying it for the first time, Omar’s is a standout.

Highly recommend!

A must-visit spot if you’re in NYC! The portions are generous, and most importantly, the taste is amazing. I’ve tried many chicken shawarmas before, but this place is truly the best. And don’t miss out on the baklava for dessert — I highly recommend it!

FANTASTIC, MUST VISIT!!!

It has been such a long time since I’ve genuinely left a restaurant with a smile from ear to ear. Came in to dine after class on Saturday and grabbed the Omar’s Specialty and my oh my was I impressed. Fast service, freshly cooked food, and authentic flavors. Each piece of meat was seasoned to perfection, the bread and rice to complement were superbly done. It honestly doesn’t get better than this. This is a must try for anyone in the city, and the price is more than beyond reasonable with the amount of food that you get. I will happily dine here again, my new favorite restaurant in NYC!! 😁😁

It is pretty good spot for middle eastern food. Casual spot for a quick bite. The price is reasonable and the portion is generous. We got Omar’s comb plate. The chicken shawarma is the best option. If you like egg plant, the baba ganoush is very good.

Ambiance (4/5): The back dining area is well lit and quiet! There's plenty of seating and was pretty busy on a weekend lunch hour.
Service (2/5):
The front part of the restaurant is a fast plate ordering to go. There was about 3 staff members working both stations so it was difficult to get service in the back dining area.
Omar Signiture Dish (5/5): Everything on the platter was delicious! The lamb kabob was my favorite and the chicken was incredibly juicy. The protein is seasoned wonderfully with pronounced spices. The seasoned rice complemented well w the meats. The portion was enough for 1.5 persons.
The table has bottles of yogurt sauce and hot sauce. Both were delicious complements to the dish but the flavors didn’t need it!
Sharing plates incurs an extra $5 fee. Groups with 5 or more has an included 20% tip.

Birdies Hot Chicken

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience at Birdies Hot Chicken — this place absolutely delivers on flavor, quality, and vibe. From the moment I walked in, the energy was fun and casual, and the staff were warm, efficient, and clearly passionate about what they do.
I ordered the Bird in a Bun with medium spice, and wow — the chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned perfectly so the heat built rather than overwhelmed. The soft brioche bun, crunchy pickles, and creamy slaw offered a great balance to the spice. Their Signature Fries — chopped chicken over fries with their special sauce — were next-level good (I could’ve eaten a whole tray!). To top it off, the shake (I went with vanilla Ferrero ) was rich, thick, and just the sweet contrast I needed.
If you’re a hot chicken fan or even if you just like bold, well-made comfort food — don’t sleep on Birdies. I’ll absolutely be back. Highly recommended!

Fantastic food, I got the signature fries and they were LOADED. The medium heat level was a little more mild than I expected but the flavor was insane. The owner was great too, very friendly and wanted to make sure everything was good. Also got a strawberry shake which was delicious. Highly recommend this place of you're in the area.

My first time here with my husband! It was amazing! The chicken was crispy and the perfect amount of mild, just a little KICK! The fries were crispy and fluffy in the inside. Don’t get me started on the tiramisu!! It was fluffy and light with NO SUGAR only honey! Thank you Sydney for this amazing experience!

This place has the best hot chicken I’ve ever tasted. I ordered the signature fries and the storeo (strawberry Oreo milkshake) and heavily enjoyed them. The owner is also phenomenal and very generous. Highly recommend this place!!!!

A wonderful place to enjoy food made with care and heart. This meal revived my spirit after a long, tiring day. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant for your next bite. I tried the loaded fries, and they were absolutely worth it—you won’t be disappointed!

The Theo Thai Bistro

I had the pleasure of eat at this Thai and Vietnamese restaurant, and it was absolutely delicious. The food was spectacular, with authentic, fresh flavors and perfectly balanced dishes. Each plate was beautifully presented, and best of all the portions were generous!

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for flavorful food and a pleasant dining experience. Don’t miss out on this small but incredible gem! ❤️❤️🍜

Can’t beat the food quality and the service. Great Thai food. The staff is very attentive. They have a great lunch menu and it’s a great value. Soup, appetizers, and main dish for roughly 12 to 15 dollars. Owners are very friendly and the place is very welcoming. Bonus: the place is certified halal!

Let’s start by saying this place really isn’t a Thai restaurant in any meaningful sense. It feels more like someone’s side project — maybe a Thai home cook with little formal experience who decided to open a restaurant because they could, not because they knew how to cook authentic food.
Even the simplest things are off. Free water? It’s not even chilled — just room-temperature bottles (around 75°F) already sitting on the tables.
Our group of three ordered three different lunch specials. Big mistake. The “soup” that comes with the special was disappointing — instant MaMa noodles would taste better and have more flavor.
The tofu green curry tasted like something from a prepackaged meal, with none of the freshness or balance you expect from Thai food.
I ordered the Khao Soi curry noodles — they were mushy, overly salty, and had an unpleasant smell.
Honestly, if you don’t know how to cook, please don’t open a restaurant. Even if you’re not a professional chef, you should at least know what good food tastes like.

The food is really good, however the portion size is not good. This is the third time I’ve gotten pho from here and it’s always only about half full. That is unacceptable as this cost about 20$ for just one container of some soup with 3 slices of beef in it. You need to do better Theo Thai.

Order for delivery. Food portions are very small for a dinner price/set. The flavor is decent. Very different from the typical Thai cuisine. Tom Yum soup while generous in the chicken portions the broth was very sweet. The color doesn't match the flavor or heat I expected from it. They definitely go light on the use of lemon grass which was a bit disappointing. The biggest scam was the crab fried rice, they might as well call it egg fried rice because they put small pieces of crab into egg and add that as a topping to the fried rice. $25 dollars for 5 parts egg 1/2 part crab doesn't make sense.

Gazab

Food was excellent. Very good portion sizes and prices. I especially liked the lemon chicken and palak paneer. Check it out! Great customer service as well.

The host provided superior service, with no waiting time and a highly attentive demeanor. They responded to all our inquiries promptly. The culinary offerings were exceptional. We had no dissatisfaction whatsoever. Everything met our expectations. The paneer and garlic naan was certainly one of my favorite dishes there.

Dishes were pretty good with nice presentation, but I think I had too high of an expectation because of the raving reviews. I enjoyed my meal, but I have definitely had better Indian food within a 1 mile radius. Our dishes were also not spicy at all, which was a slight disappointment.

One of my favorite neighborhood spots in the Lower East Side. The atmosphere is unique, and the staff are exceptionally kind and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. I’ve been here several times, and each meal has consistently impressed me. On my latest visit, I brought my family along, and they all raved about the meal.

The lemon chicken, goat, and dal are standout dishes. Each one is bursting with bold, inventive flavors. Every bite is packed with flavor, making the meal memorable from start to finish. ✨

If you want a spot that combines fun vibes, delicious food, and top-notch service, this place won’t let you down.

Visited this place on a public holiday and made reservations in advance. I believe they need to work on their reservation system or completely eradicate it. With reservations we waited for close to 40 minutes which does not make sense.The pace was crowded and seemed densely packed making difficult to move around.

Staff were nice and responsive. The restaurant is located at first floor and can be considered accessible. I tried their chicken biryani and I would say that does need a lot of work. Biryani also had strong after taste.

Bhoot Jolokia Chicken Tikka and Methi Palak Paneer were delicious and I would recommend them in appetizer and main course. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Methi Palak had layers of paneer and palak, seemed a newer concept but the taste was definitely better. Butter Naan was soft and can be used to accompany any curry.  GulabJamun Crème Brulé was interesting, I would say you can give it a shot if looking for fusion dessert, this one would not disappoint.

They had a restroom that was clean and usable. Paid street parking was available nearby. Average wait time can be as high as 40 minutes.
