Halal Reviews for Opera Cafe Lounge Sheepshead Bay

We came out for a new treat! Love Turkish food and we drove and pick this lovely place. I’ve always pasted this restaurant always seeing it packed. Just never thought to try it til last night(Sunday 1.11.25) the bread they brought out to us was amazing, soft and warm like it was freshly made for us, waiting til we sat. Then we had the cigar rolls (feta cheese with parsley rolled in phyllo dough) with a yogurt dip, amazing, good combo of salty and sour. The yogurt clams the salty but it is so yum! Then we shared the mix meats plate. The meats on the plate are cooked so good. You taste the grill fire on the edges. I never had lamb chops before and I can say I WILL be having them again! We got it with rice and salad. The host who sat us was pleasant. Didn’t talk much but was busy and attentive. The service was great to see working. Thank you for our dining experience!

One thing that will always stand out here is excellent service. They do great at accommodating us. The food was alright and the ambiance and lighting fixtures and decor. My waiter Yaz and Jacinto were excellent.

I always enjoy going to Opera, and there are several reasons why it has become one of my favorite places to visit. Their food is consistently delicious, beautifully presented, and incredibly fresh, making every meal feel special. Whether it’s a quick bite or a full dining experience, the quality never disappoints. What truly sets Opera apart, though, is the exceptional service. The staff always makes us feel welcomed and valued, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. In particular, Jack has been outstanding. He is always friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything we need. His professionalism and genuine kindness make every visit enjoyable and stress-free. It’s rare to find someone who goes above and beyond the way he does, and we truly appreciate it. These are the reasons we keep returning to Opera. It’s not just about the delicious food, but also the consistent hospitality and the overall experience that makes us look forward to every visit. It has become a place where we feel at home, and we will continue to support it because we love everything it offers.

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious and very fresh—especially the lahmacun. I also loved the Turkish tea, and the desserts were amazing, with the Kunefe being a standout. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and helpful. A great experience overall and I’ll definitely be back!

I went here for the very fisrt time on December 18th, 2025 for the Christmas dinner get together with my coworkers, and it was very pleasant experience 👌🏽 😊 I loved every bite I tried, and the service was top-notch 💯 I can see myself coming back 🤌🏾 because I don't even eat liver like that, and here, I had more than 3 pieces!!!
