    We started with the complimentary warm, fresh bread and black olives. When the bread is delicious, I take it as a sign of good food coming. I wasn't disappointed. I had the lamb shank (although I added some salt & pepper) The meat fell off the bone. We asked our waitress (CeeCee - who was excellent) for a desert recommendation and she suggested the almond pudding. I was a little skeptical, If you like almonds, you'll Love it. It was delicious, with almonds just blended well and a little crunchy.

    I started off with the red lentil soup (which was yellow) and had little flavor. I ordered two maze as my main course, they were the hummus and the babaganush. I found that I liked the babaganush, but did not like the taste of the hummus. In addition, the hummus had a flavor that, to me, differed in flavor significantly from most hummus found in other restaurants.

    Good food overall. Grill Octopus is too mushy for me and too oily. Everything else great, such as eggplant salad, artichokes, sausage, and Adana kebab is a outstanding. Excellent service.

    The food was excellent! Had the octopus as one of the apps and it was so delicious. All the entrees that we had were excellent. They need to improve on the beverages, they were out of a lot of items on the list. Also, service was very spotty. We had to flag down wait staff to request items that needed replenishing on our table. I would give them another chance since I enjoyed my meal.

    SipSak is one of the best Turkish Restaurants in the city. We shared starters with a group of 7, we tried eggplant, liver, borek, artichoke all dishes are delicious. Main dishes and deserts are also good. We had turkish coffee at the end. I certainly recommmend

    The old Sip Sak was a far better restaurant. I thought the food was just ok. There are far better Turkish restaurants in the area. Some like Ali Babba have closed but their food was better than what we had at Sip Sak. If you are looking for Turkish food look further than this restaurant.

    The service by the only waiter that was there this past Sunday was poor. Despite the place being virtually empty, he was slow to come to my table to take an order, and had to be asked twice for tap water. The red lentil soup ($9) was in the form of a lentil broth, it had little flavor. It had no noticeable thickness. The lamb shank ($29) was moist and tasty, it came with eggplant puree, which was also good.

    great food. service a little awkward. I am not sure our server was fully fluent in English or perhaps we just didn’t understand each other well cross culturally. a little expensive but very good food that you don’t find everywhere. would return to try more dishes.

    A serious Turkish restaurant recommended by Turkish friends. Not the trendiest / most romantic spot, but it's (relatively) quiet and the food is exceptional. Try the manti and the fava beans and the hummus.

    we brought friends here and everyone was happy with the food. Unfortunatlely, the service was off. The waiter got envolved in a long conversation with patrons and we had to go to him to remind him that we had ordered wine. He did apogize but... We also had food packed up to bring home and no one gave it to us. I had to ask and finally got it. Maybe it was bad night, yet it wasn't crowded.

    Very good food at reasonable prices for NY. A bit- menu said kebab is “lamb meat” but staff said it is only beef- a little strange. Wait staff attentive when not too busy (waitress almost too attentive- like she was rushing us to order)but when a group of 7 came we had to seek people more than we would have liked. All very pleasant and well meaning though.

    The most amazing Turkish dining experience in NYC. The staff was extremely courteous and sweet and the food was just sublime. The and the cheese sticks were really good to start us off. Followed by the beef lamb mix on the flat bread. All of this accompanied by some ayran and the meal was superb. I just felt that it was wayyyy too pricy for Turkish food. If you compare the prices to locals prices in the best establishments in Istanbul, you can have 4 meals there in the same price. But definitely go here.
