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).

Food was just ok. Our bread/pita was hard. I’m not sure if it was old or not. Out of all my options for food in NYC, I would not go back.

Fabulous dining experience! Excellent service, attentive without intruding, and our appetizer and entrees were delicious! Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert, next time! We thought it was BYOB but then saw other diners ordering glasses of wine, so I would clarify that before our next visit. Which will be soon!!

Compared favorably to some of the food we enjoyed so much in Turkey several years ago. The many Turkish customers when we dined was another indication of the establishment’s authenticity. Good value and accommodating if somewhat harried service.

This is a nice place for Turkish food. My friend and I both ordered the chicken chops with bulgur instead of rice. They were very tasty.
