Istanbul Clinton Hill Mediterranean Gyro & Grill

This place was amazing! Everything tasted great, my favorites are the salmon skewers and falafels. The prices are good for the portions.

Easily one of the best Mediterranean spots I’ve been to in NYC. The chicken kebab was perfectly grilled — juicy, flavorful, and tender with that light char that makes it addictive. The rice was fluffy, the salad super fresh, and the pita came warm with rich hummus and creamy yogurt dip that tied everything together. You can tell they care about quality and seasoning here. Portions were generous, service was quick, and everything tasted homemade. Definitely coming back.

I come here during the summer and sit down to eat. Usually I get a gyro. Today, I ordered to go and received my gyro in a lavash. She asked wrap or sandwich. My goofy self thinks pita wrap, but no it’s a lavash. I ask her for pita. They take it back and return it to me as seen below…. I’ve eaten so many gyros, none this sloppy and bad. No care, just slapped together. I usually eat here with my coworkers since I work up the block, I can get a better gyro at the corner store across the street.

Great vibe. Generous portions. Welcoming service. - The restaurant has a beautiful backyard with seating in both shade and open sky. Background music is entertaining while allowing for conversation without the beed to speak loudly. - Food was good. We had a mixed grill platter and a falafel and hummus platter. The portions were generous and fed three people. Some grilled items were delicious, while others can improve a bit. - Service was excellent. Attentive without being intrusive. We didn’t have to wait much for the food to be served.

I visited a Turkish restaurant and was overall quite pleased. The place was very clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated — it felt nice to be there. The shawarma didn’t really impress me, but the dessert was truly delicious and made up for it. The atmosphere was relaxing, a great spot to enjoy a quiet meal. With just a bit more warmth in the service, it could be even better. Still, I’d recommend the place and would gladly return for the dessert and the cozy vibe.
