AnTalia NYC

Really good Mediterranean food close to Bryant Park. Came here for a quick lunch but it still felt like a nice sit down meal. Ordered the lunch special of baba ghanoush ($2 extra), labneh, falafel and chicken platters. Both were really delicious, and we had a short time window to eat but the staff brought the food out super quick. The baba ghanoush was my favorite. So fresh, especially with the bread. The rest of the food was a little salty for my taste but paired with the rice and salad it all evened out. Extra star for the service!

Had a bad experience at a restaurant nearby and was looking for something kid friendly. The waitstaff were very nice and the food was excellent. Ordered the dip trio - $27 was insane for the portions, but hey, it's Midtown. Also, they didn't serve any bread/pita with the dip, just the bread that they gave us when they gave us the water (more on that later). So, we had to pay to order another Pita for the Table. Ridiculous, considering it probably costs them less than $1 to just include the pita with the $30 dip I just ordered. (lost a star)Food was excellent. Ordered the lamb burger. It was big and juicy, bun was on point. Wife ordered falafel, which she said was excellent, and much better than the falafel we order in Northport, Long Island.Food - 5/5Service - 5/5Price - 0/5 Why two stars? Lost another two stars for charging $7.95 for bottled water. $7.95? For WATER? Are you kidding? This isn't just high pricing--it's flat-out price gouging. I get it--markups happen. But this? This is beyond reasonable. I always opt for bottled if you ask tap or bottled. But charging $7.95 for water is a CHEAP TRICK.

Came here for lunch on a weekday with a reservation. The place was pretty empty when I initially entered, but eventually started to get busier. Not sure how packed it gets for dinner or during the weekends, but would recommend making a reservation regardless. They served us complimentary warm bread to start, which I enjoyed. I ordered the falafel entree. It was more filling than I expected, so I couldn't finish it. But it was absolutely delicious!! I loved the house salad that it came with. Service was wonderful. Interior is very clean and cute. Bathroom is clean as well. Would definitely recommend this place!

Nice food presentation but twas ok. Though the baklava was delicious. Friendly and attentive staff. The inside was neat and good place to eat in.

I had an incredible dining experience at Antalia. The food was absolutely delicious, authentic, and beautifully presented. From the flavorful appetizers to the perfectly cooked main dishes, every bite was a delight. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening out. I highly recommend Antalia to anyone looking for a top-notch Turkish meal in a welcoming setting. Five stars without hesitation!

Came here for dinner with a friend on a rainy evening. The interior was lovely with cute decor and a cozy ambiance. I really wanted to try the pre fixe menu, while my friend wasn't as hungry. Thankfully, this place doesn't require the whole party to partake in the pre fixe, so we were both able to get what we wanted. For my appetizer, I chose fried calamari, served with creamy, savory tartar sauce. This was delicious, and a generous portion. The breading was perfectly crispy, light, with yummy seasoning. Salmon in Vine Leaves was my main course, and I found this to be uniquely prepared. The salmon was marinated, then chargrilled and wrapped in grape leaves. This came with greens, carrots, cabbage, as well as tomatoes. The salmon was quite tasty, tender, flaky, and full of great flavor. Grape leaves were not my favorite, but seemed to work well with the salmon. The dessert that came with the Pre Fixe menu was Rice Pudding. I also got to try my friend's Pistachio Baklava. I preferred the Baklava, which was irresistibly crunchy, sweet, with plenty of nuts and syrupy honey. The Rice Pudding was cinnamony and cooked to just the right consistency. Service was solid. Our waiter was friendly and on top of it, making sure everything came out in a timely manner. We also stayed until closing time, and were not rushed at all. I would return to try the Pachanga Borek and Lamb Chops.

Came here for a quick afternoon coffee. It came in this wonderful pictured cup which elevated my drink in the best way! Staff super friendly and the place gave a family restaurant ambiance.It tasted great!

Recently came for a lunch! Got their lunch special and have to say their portions and flavors really hit the spot! The bread that comes with the appetizer was tremendous and I cannot stop thinking about it. I was surprised it wasn't quite as crowded as I expected (maybe given everyone was out shopping) but that was good for me. Service was good too.Orders:- Chicken Adana + Hummus (lunch special): Delicious and full of flavor. Chicken is a little bit spicy which was nice. Hummus was great- Turkish Meatball + Babagonoush (lunch special): Meatballs were very tasty! Also one of the best babagonoush I've ever had- Sides that came with the entree plate (cabbage salad, red cabbage, rice): All great- Bread: Special shoutout to the bread that comes with the dips! Chewy and crispy and flavorful. Great for the hummus and babagonoushAlready planning my next trip here!

such a cute interior and lovely staff!ordered the falafel, calamari, and zucchini pancakes and were pleasantly surprised with all! if you had to choose one app, def get the calamari. it was slightly spicy and had a good chew.

Well.. this remains for tourists. Couple blocks from times square so thats what we get.The eggplant (not baba ganoush) dish was excellent, the hummus was bland, the grape leaves were home made so i won't bash them but they were full of cinnamon which is unusual and i did not like. The $17 app containing all three meze was quite small. I had to order feta borek to add to it (granted i had not eaten all day) but the borek were soft and not very good.The waiters were all amazing and kind as Turkish people usually are!
