Great service and excellent fresh food. Shared the white bean salad, baba ghanoush, beef manti, and almond pudding. Already looking forward to going back and trying more items!
This place is great. Home cooked fresh food and great beverages. The service couldn't have been better. Highly recommended!
A little place you wouldn't think much of. But the surprise is in the kitchen. This man is very eficiente and the food which I bought to go, was delicious. The çoban salatasi (shepherd salad) was a little different but very tasty. The red lentil soup was just delicious as well. I'll keep exploring the menu. Thank you
I enjoyed my chicken gyro with salad, bread on the side and an imported cherry juice. $15
My husband and I were looking for a quick place to eat a light lunch before visiting Brooklyn's historic Green-Wood Cenetery. We really lucked out with Kofte Piyaz! We each ordered a bowl of lentil soup and shared a platter of hummus, white bean salad (substitute for babaganoush), dolma (stuffed grape leaves) and a cucumber/scallion salad. Everything was fresh and delicious and the portions were generous. The Turkish bread was excellent for sopping up all the delicious flavors. We will be back!
I got take out from here late at night after my meeting for class. I was really looking forward to getting the lamb shish kebab platter, but they ran out by the time I ordered, so I opted for the lamb sausage instead. Additionally, I got the baba ganoush and meatball platter. The baba ganoush was good; savory and a little sweet as well. It went great with the pita bread and with the meats. Everything that came with the platter was good and the serving size was plenty. I thought the rice was fluffy and the salad was fresh even though it was already 10 at night when I got my order. I would've liked the salad to rice ratio to be more 1:1 instead of more rice than salad. The bread that came with it was good for dipping in the baba ganoush and went well with the meat. The meatballs were juicy, had a nice char on the outside, and were quite flavorful. My only gripe with this meal was the lamb sausage. It tasted a bit too processed and was too salty for my liking. I wasn't aware there was a Turkish spot in Sunset, which is nice to have close by. I will be back to try the other menu items, but the I don't think I will order the lamb sausage again.
This restaurant is a gem - quite possibly the best Turkish food in all of Brooklyn. If you like Turkish, Mediterranean or Greek, you will love Kofte Piyaz. The restaurant is small but delivers huge flavors and friendly service. Their kofte (meatballs) are a special treat - I loved their almost spongy texture and the rich taste. Highly recommend pairing that with their fresh bean salad (piyaz). And, of course add some crunchy baklava for dessert and you will be in heaven. The restaurant takes great precautions during COVID to make sure that all customers are safe. To add, their portions are generous with very reasonable pricing. This authentic Turkish restaurant became one of my instant favorites in NYC. I look forward to returning.
