Reviews for Istanbul Bay in Brooklyn, NY
Very good food that's fresh and tasty and the staff is very attentive. The hummus is great and the baba ghanoush is delicious.... The falafel were juicy. I would have liked if the different items on the mixed platter were separated, so I can taste savor eachone. Read more
Food was delicious and it's a great spot to have a feast with friends and family. The seating just outside was nice. The fried... calamari was made perfectly which is hard to find and the lentil soup makes you want more! They have these feta cheese sticksand yummy dips to have with all the side dishes. We had a very pleasant experience as the waiter was very attentive and kept allthe good dishes coming! Go! Read more

A very nice Turkish restaurant. The bread was amazing! Each plate was filled with wonderful rice and delicious meat.
The three stars is for the food and food ONLY. The food is very good, didn’t have any issues with that. The chicken and beef... are very juicy and well seasoned but the service is horrible! The waiters have no customer service experience at all. Very rudeand nasty Read more
Have been ordering takeout for almost two years. Today was nothing like I’ve been through so far. Everything started when the... lady on the phone put a wrong address on our order and obviously we didn’t get the order. Have been calling them for 3 hoursand every time the lady on the phone said she is waiting for the delivery guy, she needs to talk to the manager. Come on, it wasonly a $15 order, it’s not like a $50-100 order! Send it with the other delivery guy! Make life of you customers easy! I’veread some reviews on takeout, they mostly say they received their order after 3 hours and from our experience it left much to bedesired, so I guess it is the restaurant’s everyday practice. So after 3 hours after a long conversation they said come andpick up your order. When I came they tried to shift the blame on us, busy hours, etc. Eventually they apologized, gave my orderand added a box of baklava as I was leaving the place. Unfortunately that was not the end of this horrible experience. Much tomy disappointment, like it was not enough wasting my time and energy, they put lamb gyro instead of lamb Adana (even though theyhad lamb Adana as the lady was showing them to me) in a pita bread. Way to go, so much for all your apologies! Wouldn’t havewritten this review but after seeing the gyro, not lamb Adana it was just beyond any reason! Uploading the photo of the gyro sothat they don’t start accusing us and blaming for all that happened today! A word of advice, you put too much of onion andlettuce! Are you trying to compensate for something else? If I wanted to order a salad, even though lettuce and onion is hardlya salad, I would have done it ! Read more
The appetizer mixed plate was one of the highlights of this meal. The bread that came was great. The lamb Adana and lamb shish... kebab combo was so good. I highly recommend the Adana and probably would try a second Adana! We finished off our meal withTurkish coffee and baklava and it was so perfection. The service wasn’t the best, but the food more than makes up for it! Read more
Amazing, delicious, and affordable! Highly recommend and looking forward to returning. Plenty of vegetarian options. Service is... fast and friendly. Always packed, but they turn over tables fast, so you won't have trouble getting a spot. Plenty of seatinginside and outside. Shared the small mixed appetizer and the spinach pide. Got the complementary hot Turkey tea after our meal.Total price was $32 before tip for two people. Went hungry, but left home with leftovers to enjoy later. It was a good, nice,clean place that, despite the hustle and bustle, you feel you can relax in, eat in peace, have a conversation, and enjoy yourmeal. It's the kind of place that warms the heart and feeds the soul too. Read more
