Tava Turkish and Mediterranean: Reviews & Ratings
I happened upon Tava Turkish and Mediterranean Cuisine and immediately liked the way it felt…welcoming, with lovely music inside. I was not disappointed! Delicious arugula salad (a full meal!) cold beer, and a complimentary dessert! The server and hostess were attentive without being intrusive. It doesn’t get any better!
I’m so glad a friend recommended this Turkish spot. The food and service were excellent, and the interior had a calm, peaceful atmosphere. Definitely try the lahmacun and künefe. The traditional Turkish tea was freshly served as well. I’ll definitely be back regularly.
Authentic Turkish/Mediterranean restaurant with exceptional food and service. Our party enjoyed the Mixed Appetizer plate, Mixed Vegetable Casserole, Lamb Sautée, and Chicken Sautée. We will return frequently!
Friendly greeting and quite helpful description with phenomenal service followed by mouthwatering dishes-cocktails. Cucumbertini drink was well balanced,textured flavorfully. I tried spinach tarator mezze as my appetizer and lahmacun ( Crunchy crisped crust topped with ground beef and onions) as my main dish. They both was the best so far. I appreciate to Tava team for giving the best efforts.
First time here and everything was delicious. We came for dinner and order to wraps and a bottle of Wine. Also ordered a dip to start which I highly recommend. The staff was really nice and the vibe was warm. We will definitely be back.
The food and service were incredible. We loved the Turkish decor and music. We enjoyed the lentil soup, shepard’s salad, mixed meze platter, chicken shish and beef shish. Everything was delicious! And of course we finished with tea. Highly recommend this spot!
I’ve been here multiple times and the food is consistently incredible. So well seasoned, meats are perfectly grilled, homemade bread, and the dips are delicious! Staff is always very kind and welcoming. I can’t recommend Tava enough, it’s the perfect dinner spot. I take everyone who visits park slope here!
Without question, one of the best meals I’ve had living in Park Slope for 4 years. Everything was incredibly fresh, and the portions were a great size to share as a family meal. Highly recommend the Lamb (Fri/Sat), the mixed app plate, the falafel, the babaganoush, and the Lahmacun. All were amazing. The grape leaves were fantastic too. Cannot speak highly enough of the food, kicking ourselves for not going sooner. Our new favorite in the neighborhood. The service was impeccable, and our waiter was kind and knowledgeable. Loved the Turkish wines.
