What a bang for your buck! We came here on a weekend evening and was able to get seated right away. We ordered two dishes but they were big enough for us to take home for another meal. Everything was delicious and fresh. Would recommend if youre in the area and looking for great Turkish food.

Very welcoming, gracious, respectful service. I had lamb saute with peppers and mushrooms and it was delicious. I really enjoyed the Turkish white wine, Cankaya. House made baklava for dessert.

This restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood. I loved the Mixed Appetizer Plate, absolutely delicious. And the Yogurtlu Adana Kebab was truly special. I will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

We ordered the mixed grill, which was very good. The portion was large, and the meat was enough for two people. Ill definitely go back to try other items on their menu as well.

Location

Welcome to Tava Turkish and Mediterranean, a delightful culinary gem located at 318 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215. This restaurant beautifully captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine, merging traditional flavors with a contemporary atmosphere. Whether you're planning a romantic dinner or a casual outing with friends and family, Tava offers a welcoming ambiance that caters to everyone.

Tava Turkish and Mediterranean excels in creating an inclusive dining experience. With options ranging from decadent lamb gyros to fresh, vibrant salads, the menu is thoughtfully designed to accommodate various dietary preferences, including ample vegan and vegetarian choices. The Shepherd Salad, featuring a medley of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and parsley, perfectly embodies the restaurant's commitment to using quality ingredients that not only satisfy the palate but also nourish the body.

As you explore the main courses, the Chicken Gyro stands out as a crowd favorite. Marinated to perfection and grilled over charcoal, it delivers robust flavors and a delightful aroma that fills the air. The Lamb Gyro, available on weekends, showcases the richness of lamb, further enhancing the experience with tender meat served alongside fragrant rice and a refreshing green salad.

No meal is complete without dessert, and Tava's offerings are a sweet spectacle. Don't miss the legendary Baklava, which beautifully balances flaky layers of pastry with sweet honey and nuts, or the Chocolate Souffle, served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate your dining experience.
