One of the great places I've ate in... Staff are very friendly and welcome, food is absolutely delicious and you can always... bring you vegetarian friend along because it's also a Veggie place... One of the tastes I've ever had ever.. give it a try???????? Read more

They have the best vegan Cig Kofte and the nicest workers! Healthy, refreshing, and SO tasty.

Unfortunately this place is not open during the posted business hours on here. We came around 11:30 AM on Wednesday to grab some... food from white people say is the best gyro in the city, but it wasn?t open! I would definitely not come to this area solely forthe restaurant as you shouldn?t rely on their times. Luckily there are so many good restaurants right around here, so we didn?tmiss out on anything. I recommend Burchak Pide or Fuel as 2 other options. Read more

Good food + the best customer service. The man (I never caught his name unfortunately) was insanely kind and even let me and my... SO sample some vegan meat and assured us that we?ll have the best gyros ever when he overheard me being disappointed by anothergyro place in the area. He was right!!! They were soooo good and pretty cheap. Definitely coming back Read more

The best Gyro I?ve ever had in my life. The chef is just as nice as the food. Definitely coming back for the food soon!

My cousin has been raving about this spot since it?s opened. I figured I needed to take a break from meat but it?s been... especially difficult because I love kebabs. Nefista was amazing! The chick peas were so soft and thoroughly cooked anddeliciously seasoned. The wrap was delicious as well. I loved all the toppings especially the pickle. Will definitely return. Read more

I love Çi? Köfte. I didn't have a store that makes Çi? Köfte near my house. Then I found out about Nefista and I fell in... love with Çi? Köfte even more. It is a delicious Turkish food and it is vegan. So it's a perfect food for almost anyone. Iwould strongly recommend you to come try it. Read more

As I was looking for a frozen yogurt place with my daughter, Nefista Vegan Kofte immediately caught my eye. I just had to try... this food since I never heard of vegan Turkish cuisine. I entered the location. It was clean, organized, and well-lit. Thelady working there was very pleasant. I asked her what kind of food this place served and she gave me a thorough explanation. Cig kofte is a very old traditional Turkish food that was originally made with raw meat. She explained that since restaurantsin Turkey were not able to prepare this dish properly, many people who ate this dish got sick. Eventually a decision was madethroughout Turkey to formulate an all-vegan version of this popular dish. I ordered a wrap and observed her prepare it for me. She smeared the vegan kofteh throughout the entire wrap, then added lettuce, tomatoes, and other chopped vegetables to it. Theactual kofte is made of bulgur wheat, Anatolian red peppers, chili peppers, walnuts, tomato paste, pepper paste, and severalother all natural ingredients. When she was done preparing it, she included a small container of pomegranate sauce to add tothe wrap. Eating the wrap was heavenly. With every bite I took, an explosion of spicy flavors hit my taste buds. Texture-wise, there was a combination of eating the soft salad inside surrounded by the crunchy, spicy kofte throughout. Nefista Vegan Kofteh is now a franchise with several stores throughout NY and NJ. I am glad that Brooklyn now has one, and it'sin Sheepshead Bay, only a 10-minute drive from my house. The place offers their signature vegan kofte in sushi form, taco form(soft or crunchy), and in a lettuce wrap as well. For dessert, the place also serves baklava which I'd like to try on my nextvisit. To all my vegan friends both near and far: you MUST check this place out, for tasting is believing! Read more
