Best WLM Reviews
Our friends took us out to dinner on a Saturday night, and the food was absolutely delicious—we loved everything we ordered. The service was also fantastic. Our only complaint was the noise from multiple birthday celebrations. There were three or four that night, with waitstaff making loud music and singing at each one. Thankfully, we were seated outside.
Located on the Upper East Side this local favorite doesn’t disappoint. Oversized portions come out from the kitchen piping hot cooked to perfection. I have been back and can’t wait to bring more friends. They go all out if it’s your birthday sparklers and singing. Super fun to watch. Beautiful interiors.
Stopped by here when we were in the city. The seating is very cozy, good is excellent…some of the best kababs ever, the service however left alot to be desired, actually their customer service sucks! Reasonable prices for the city, over all a good experience.
Absolutely delicious food!!! Went here for restaurant week (weekday lunch) and it was really amazing. The restaurant itself is beautiful, lots of people even for lunch time. The service was great, though a bit on the slower side for the area we were sitting at. I felt that the server maybe forgot about us on multiple occasions but the food really made a great impact. Would certainly dine here again.
For first course we got hummus with very tasty bread and eggplant shakshuka-- probably the best I've ever had. For second course we chose lamb shank which also had mashed potatoes and eggplant which is different than most restaurants and it really made a difference. The grilled eggplant really made the dish more complete. I really would go back to this place just for the lamb shank.The other entree we got was chicken shish kebab and it was comparable to other restaurants. And lastly for desert we got fig with walnut and it was very tasty. It was the very first time I've ever had it and was hooked. We also got baklava.
I really would love to go back to this place again, maybe sometime at night because the restaurant looks very nicely decorated with lights.
Bartender Ali made me an amazing cocktail. I will definitely come back to enjoy it again. Nesrin and Damla were very friendly, professional, and warm. The shrimp was absolutely delicious, but I didn’t expect the bread to be this tasty. Thank you team ????
I had the pleasure of dining at A La Turka, and it was an experience to remember. From the moment I walked in, the warm ambiance and friendly staff made me feel so welcome.
The food? Simply incredible. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors, and you can tell they put so much care into everything they serve. The kebabs and Asado were perfectly cooked, the mezes were fresh and flavorful.
What stood out most, though, was the attention to detail. The staff made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the meal, offering thoughtful suggestions and making us feel at home.
Whether you’re looking for a cozy dinner spot or a place to celebrate something special, A La Turka is a fantastic choice. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu!
I had an amazing dining experience at A la Turka! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a date night. Our server, Ali, was attentive and made the evening even more enjoyable. The drinks were fantastic, and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered their special beef shank, and it was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and a wonderful atmosphere!
I enjoyed their puree of lentil soup. I also enjoyed their grilled whole branzino served with mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and a long loaf of bread. I am a lamb shank enthusiast. I tried it here at A la Turka three times. The first time I tried it I was pleased. On the second and third times the lamb shank ($32) was overcooked, having little to no flavor. The presentation was great with an abundance of different colored cooked vegetables, accompanying the lamb shank in a tomato sauce, rice was on the side. The lamb shank dish makes for a colorful picture, but the flavor was not there. If you pay by credit card, be sure to get a credit card receipt, not just an ordered item receipt.
