This place was a great disvovery for me. The kebab was well seasoned and juicy. The salad was fresh . And my nig love to the home made bread with seasame. It has been a while i haven't tried a bread like that one. Turkish cuisine never disappoints . Great job guys !!

Gotta say... my first and only time here. The food was delicious. Got a chicken platter to-go. But there was a staple within my bowl, which is kinda scary. Didn't notice it till now that I've almost finished eating. It's scary because I hope I didn't eat another one without noticing. I'm not sure how it happened and I figure it's a fluke. But I was nowhere near any staples in the process of retrieving and eating my food, so it seems to have taken in by the restaurant. Also, the bowl was over $20. Overpriced, IMO.

I had a meal at the restaurant with my friend. It’s a small and clean place. You have the chance to see how all the dishes are prepared. I can say it's very clean. We specifically came for the chicken gyro. It was no different from the ones we had in Turkey. The portions were quite good. The prices were very reasonable. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Authentic fast casual dine in and take out Turkish restaurant. Loved their homemade bread which had very nice sesame flavors and went very well with the appetizers. We got the mixed platter mezzes, everything was great. Highly recommend the soslu patlican (eggplant with tomato sauce) and the lentil kofte. It's the second time I managed to find vegan kofte in NYC while it's something common in Turkey. Definitely look forward to coming back!

Fast takeout, or sit down and enjoy the food with good service! This is the best authentic Turkish grill food I've had since when I lived in Hamburg. Turco does not mess around. Everything on the menu is excellent, and it will be prepared according to your request - highly recommended! JH 5+ stars in Midtown Manhattan
