Evan Pickus
Really really enjoyed our dinner at Istanbul Bay. Cold appetizer platter was phenomenal, especially the Beet Yogurt and the Spicy Eggplant. Main courses were very generous and the Lamb Shank was so soft it was falling off the bone. Adana and Kebab dishes were also excellent and the rice they serve as a side was incredible. Our waiter was extremely accommodating, the decor was very cool, and the food came out from the kitchen very quickly. Overall, a fantastic evening. I highly recommend.

Istanbul Bay Premium is generally pretty good, but not spectacular. The restaurant is big and the decor is nice. Getting reservations is hard and they have to be made well in advance. Almost no chance for same day reservations. Food quality is good, but it is not the best Mediterranean/ Turkish I’ve ever had, though very decent. Service is OK, but we had to get the servers attention as he kept running around and did not check on us often. Prices are reasonable.

Awesome Turkish food and a great price. The portions are huge. I highly recommend the Istanbul Premium Salad and the Chicken Adana. The prides are also delicious. The baklava was very good. It’s a BYOB place which is nice as well! I will definitely be returning.

It was the BEST dining experience that my boyfriend and I have had here. The chef creates great work. All the food was delicious and the presentations were incredibly beautiful. All employees are caring and friendly. It is a place that everyone should visit, you will be addicted once you go. In the menu you can find anything that suits your taste. I am Turkish and this restaurant is the first and only place with the best Turkish food that I’ve tried during my time in the USA.

Its a beautiful restaurant with good food. Their spicy ezme was delicious, hummus and falafel were fine. Veggie pide was good but its like flatbread only. I also liked their chicken adana, which comes with rice and and their rice is really tasty. Overall its a nice restaurant, with good food and nice staff. I would recommend this place if you like Mediterranean cuisine.

We just had an amazing experience at the new Istanbul Bay Premium restaurant. We regularly eat at their Bay Ridge location so we were super excited to try this out and it didn’t disappoint, in fact it was much better. Murat and his staff were professional and courteous in taking care of our meal. The food was exceptional, they use quality, fresh ingredients, season each dish with finesse and present the food elegantly. Every single dish was delicious. I’m so happy this is so close to home, it will be our new go to restaurant.
