Uskudar

Do not order the sandwiches! They are NOT served on pita bread! It was a glorified deli sandwich with turkish looking meat on it! You can find authentic turkish food elsewhere. Two thumbs down!

WIll never order from here again. 2 hour wait, called multiple times to be told"the delivery guy is on the way" or "5 more minutes". After getting pizza the delivery guy showed up and i asked him when he was given the food for us and he said literally 5 minutes ago. did not take the food and asked the owner not to be charged. He charged us anyway. Awful experience.

I first became acquainted with this cozy little restaurant through a Turkish friend who visits New York on a frequent basis . I've had the pleasure of dining in and also having the food delivered. Being that I work from home, and was on a deadline this week, I ordered in and chose some of my favorites from their extensive menu. I selected the Ezme appetizer (a spread made of mashed tomatoes, walnuts, onions and parsley); the Chicken Shish (tender chunks of marinated chicken, onions, peppers and tomato), and Kayisi (a yummy dessert comprised of tiny apricots, each stuffed with an almond and topped with a bit of whipped cream and crushed pistachio for garnish). Being that I'm on a doctor-supervised food plan that limits the amount of starchy carbs I may eat per day, I opted to omit the rice pilaf, which comes with the main dish, and double-up on the vegetables. This way I could devour the warm, homemade bread that accompanies the appetizer, for dipping, without any guilt or consequences. The food was so abundant, I had leftovers for the next day. Uskudar's portions are plentiful, the food is fresh and prices are moderate. Delivery is quick and the service is excellent. I've never been disappointed. I highly recommend ordering from this restaurant -- a Turkish delight!

Quick delivery. The borek was amazing. Everything was tasting really good - like the lemony rice and vegetables and so forth, until I got to my shrimp shish. The shrimp tasted a little too ruberry - not sure if it was b/c they were overcooked or a lower quality. Otherwise everything was really good. Oh well, try a different meat next time.

The food is good, but $11 for a tomato cucumber salad??

Food was good and delivery was on time. Very expensive but it's what you expect for this cuisine.

Great and cheap food. I like their sandwich w/ soda special. Rice and veggies an be a bit greasy and too buttery sometimes.

Horrible. Will never order again. Pilo pastry was soggy and repulsive. Sandwich was bland yet massive. Ugh. I feel gross just thinking about it.

I've ordered from here four or five times. Uskudar is very consistent, the food is tasty, and the delivery fast. Highly recommended.

The Chef's Mixed Grill was not worth the money - every component was lacking in flavor and overly greasy. Portion was small as well. Overall the experience was poor/average. I'm not ordering again.
