" Yes! A la Turka is the best! I had an amazing experience here. The food tasted like home, and the service was exceptional compared to other similar places I've visited. My favorite was the stuffed grape leaves and the baklava was heavenly. Will definitely come back every time I'm in NYC! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience at A la Turka! The warm ambiance and friendly staff set the tone for a lovely evening. I was especially impressed with the grape leaves; these were prepared to perfection. However, my main course, the chicken kebab, was a bit dry. The baklava was a show-stopper, so I would certainly come back for that! " (*Curated Review*)

" Returning to A la Turka after a while was a treat. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the grilled octopus and beef kebabs. Both were cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. The ambiance was vibrant with Turkish music in the background, making it even more enjoyable. The only minor issue was the wait time for our dessert, but the baklava was worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to A la Turka was disappointing. I arrived with high expectations, but the food missed the mark. The kebabs were bland and the prices felt a bit steep for what we received. The service was satisfactory but not outstanding. The atmosphere was pleasant, but I left longing for more exciting flavors. I might give it another chance but need to be convinced first. " (*Curated Review*)

" I hosted my family at A la Turka for dinner last month, and we all loved it! The cozy interior and attentive service made our visit special. We all agreed that the mixed grill platter was delicious. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us choose the best dishes to try. I would definitely come back to enjoy more of their authentic Turkish cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" A la Turka was an alright experience. The food was good, but I had hoped for something more impactful. The lemon chicken was just okay, lacking seasoning. The service was friendly, but we had to wait longer than expected for our appetizers. The decor was inviting; however, it might be a while before I return to try other menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" My wife and I visited A la Turka after hearing good things and it was step above our expectations. We ordered various appetizers, including the Kibbeh and Feta Cigars, which were great to start. The lamb shank was definitely the highlight, rich and flavorful. We felt welcomed by the friendly staff. Ambiance was a little loud but pleasant enough for dinner. Would happily go back!
