    Been there on Valentines Day, $95 prix fixe menu. For such price I didn’t expect the meat to be that salted as if it was bought from any average turkish place for $20.

    What a fabulous addition to the NYC dining scene! NAR Modern Turkish Restaurant delivers an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food is simply exquisite—every dish perfectly blends flavor, creativity, and presentation. Their kebabs and meat dishes are undoubtedly some of the best in the city, and the extensive selection of vegetarian and seafood dishes inspired by the Mediterranean region ensures there's something for everyone to enjoy. NAR is a place we’ll be returning to again and again. It is highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience that combines exceptional Turkish Mediterranean flavors with genuine hospitality!

    Ambience and atmosphere were very nice, the fish and kebab were good, as was the baklava, but sadly the experience was marred because we were not offered the restaurant week menu except upon request and were then overcharged for a dish. A NYC restaurant choosing to participate in restaurant week really needs to hit all the notes as there are so many truly stellar options available.
