I’m a also Turkish chef , and seriously this is the only spot in NYC where you’ll find real Turkish flavors. No joke! The mezes are fantastic, the seafood dishes are on point, and you have to try the liver it’s insanely good. I’d definitely recommend going with a big group so you can share, because the portions are generous and there’s so much you’ll want to taste. Everything is seriously delicious, and Chef Mevlut is top-notch. Chef’s recommendation!!you won’t regret it!

We’ve been to Krinti a couple times with our three young boys and it was amazing each time. The staff are very friendly and welcoming (they were even open during the blizzard for dine in and take out orders). The food is delicious. We always enjoy our meal at Krinti. We highly recommend!

Krinti is truly a gem —everything about this place is 11/10. The food is absolutely incredible—so fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat is always juicy, flavorful and the manti dish is the best I’ve tried in NY. The appetizers are out of this world, especially the stuffed grape leaves and spreads. The service is always warm and attentive, and the atmosphere is beautiful—elegant but still relaxed. Whether you’re coming for a casual dinner or a special night out, Krinti never misses. Highly recommend!

Waitress today was horrible. We ordered an appetizer an entrée and everything came out at once, including the pita bread that they put out before you get your meal. We had to ask to be served. She totally ignored us. food was good

My wife and I stopped in to check out the food at this place on a Wednesday mid afternoon. The place is clean, quiet and the staff couldn’t be more pleasant and helpful. The waitress quickly brought out our drinks with some pita bread and the food we ordered came out in a reasonable amount of time after ordering with the flavoring I was expecting and at a good price point. The area the restaurant is in is very nice with plenty of parking in the large lot in front of the building. Lastly if your looking for a place for a first date or that special occasion with family or friends you may just want to give this place a try.

Excellent food and service. The best grilled Octopus I’ve had. Everything was very well seasoned and cooked. We had stuffed grape leaves, grilled octopus and the feta appetizers. For the entrees the filet kabobs and lamb shank were stellar. We will be back again.

Krinti has been my go to place for great mediterranean food, and fast, yummy gyros for years. This is unfortunately the 2nd time I have orderd a lamb gyro sandwich and the meat was charred, like burnt ends and tough as leather. I understand the slash mate has to be reheated, but honestly, nearly half the meat is charred, crispy, inedible. Such a disappointment. Pondering what to do as this has been out “go to”. And yes, I did call. Most people are not going to come back to pick up a replacement of something that they perceive as being ruined. Not sure what we will do in the future as we truly do like the staff & food, but this is the 2nd time in a row. The management should have given me a credit back for the one gyro. The 2nd one was chicken and no complaints.

Great kebabs, great ambience. We usually get the mix dips – 4 different ones. Taramo is my favorite, hummus and babaghanoush are pretty good as well. We usually struggle with the fourth since we don’t like tomatoes, last time we went with spicy feta and liked it.
Order the Turkish Bread if it’s available (off the menu). Fluffy stretchy goodness.
Lamb, chicken, beef kebabs are all grilled to perfection – juicy, soft, flavorful.

My girlfriend and I were in a rush as we were on our way to see Whitney Cummings at the Paramount about 15 minutes away. We were coming from NJ and were super hungry. We didn’t have a reservation and we let the staff know if we could be in and out in 30 minutes and they definitely made sure to accommodate us 100% We got our orders in, in about 2 minutes and the appetizer came about 2-3 minutes later. And our meals came about 10 minutes later. We were in and out in just about 27 Minutes! They were so kind and helpful and the food was amazing!
My girlfriend and I both love Turkish food and we’ve been disappointed with the last few Turkish restaurants we’ve been to. We had a very nice one near us when we lived in Brooklyn. This is the first great Turkish restaurant we’ve eaten at in almost 2 years.
The food was so delicious, spices were perfect! I finished my whole plate and it was a lot of food!
