Lisa's Turkish Kitchen - Ridgewood

Great food without a doubt the best Lebni I've ever tasted. Friendly staff and good prices. We will definitely be back when we are in the area

We were randomly in Ridgewood and decided to eat in Lisa's Mediterranean cuisine. What a happy night for us! We had no reservations, but they quickly found a sweet table for 2 for us. There is a direct atmosphere of warmth and elegance with a bit exotic. Golden light and tasteful mirrors reflect a soothing shine around the room. Magnificent long drapery, which were tied back in a noble buffant way, hung in a few archways that separate some of the tables on both sides. Our table was cozy and intimate but from my point of view I could see and see other happy customers eating. Our waiter was a nice, friendly young Turkish man who was very attentive to our needs without smuggling. Another sweet waitress stopped at our table to offer refills on our water and I enjoyed chatting with her about Istanbul. We traveled there in 2013 and in April 2015. The food they brought us was so authentic for the food we enjoyed in Istanbul! If you have never tried Turkish bread it is divine! Everything was fresh to order and waiting was not too long. You can bring your own wine! After dinner we could not resist tasting the Turkish Baklava and the real Turkish tea cat. The chef LISA came out to talk to the girls and I had a great conversation with her. She is adorable and you can feel her passion for preparing recipes that her mother teaches them over the years. She's an excellent cook! We fell in love with this restaurant, just like we were in love with Istanbul. Although we live almost an hour away, we will surely come back. If you're in the area, you have to try it! You have a jewel in your backyard!

The food is delicious, the service is excellent. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. Food is cheap. Our waiter Onder was most hospitable!!! You can come as a group or as a couple, you have a great time!!

Fantastic food, a great place to dine! Love the high quality mineral water they serve!
