Ankara #3

Ankara Turkish Restaurant struts in like it owns the block—and honestly, fair. The kebabs are juicy drama queens, the bread arrives warm and irresistible, and the baklava? Sweet enough to make you forgive your ex. Service is fast, flavors are loud, and my diet plans are officially on “seen.” Would I come back? Please, I’m already mentally reserving my table.

Excellent service and genuinely good food. The hot sauce with the lamb is . Easily a better move than freezing in line at Katz Deli when it’s zero degrees out. This family is doing it right, support them.

Stopped in for a meal at Ankara Turkish Restaurant and really enjoyed it. The falafel was especially good – crispy on the outside and flavorful inside. Everything tasted fresh, and the seasoning was spot on. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff made the experience even better. Would definitely come back to try more dishes.

Very good and a great alternative to Katz’s across the street if the line is too long. I ordered the mixed gyro sandwich and it was great. Baklava is also excellent here.

Skip the long line of people waiting to enter the famous deli one block over and come here instead. You’ll be greeted by the warmest smiles to be found in the Lower East Side. This down to earth Turkish restaurant offers authentic mouth watering cuisine. The grape leaves (Dolma) tasted so fresh I felt they were made just before my arrival. The lamb was more tender and juicy than any other lamb I’ve had before.

A Taste of Turkey: Ankara’s Culinary Delights Our recent visit to Ankara was a delightful culinary experience. We sampled a variety of dishes, including the falafel sandwich, chicken gyro, lamb gyro, Mediterranean salad, and cheesecake. The cheesecake was the standout, rich and decadent, a perfect ending to the meal. The chicken gyro, while tasty, was a bit dry. The lamb gyro, on the other hand, was flavorful and satisfying, though a bit greasy. The Mediterranean salad offered a refreshing contrast, a burst of fresh flavors. Ankara is a cozy spot that offers generous portions of delicious Turkish cuisine. We're already looking forward to our next visit, especially to indulge in more of that heavenly cheesecake.

Quick, easy and delicious little spot, open all day and serving up super fresh Turkish dishes and classics. We tried their loaded Fries and loaded wrap, filled with chicken and lamb and were super happy and super full. The lamb gyro meat here was very special and noticeably superior to other spots in the area, would def try their lamb.

Food is made fresh and traditional! I had a chicken shish, casual, quick and delicious spot, would definitely recommend.
