Antique Garage - Soho

“If I could give a million stars, I would. We had dinner tonight at Antique Garage, and I am still thinking about how incredible the food was. My husband is from Türkiye and even he said it was better than any Turkish restaurant we have tried in the United States. From the appetizers to the main courses to dessert, every single dish was spectacular. The flavors were authentic, rich, and perfectly balanced. My relatives were genuinely shocked at how good everything tasted. At one point we were all just looking at each other saying, “Wow.” The hospitality was just as impressive as the food. The hostess Paulina was so gracious. We had a reservation for six, arrived late, and ended up with seven people, and she still accommodated us without hesitation. She even came over with hot tea and checked on us throughout the evening. The servers were attentive, warm, and made the whole experience feel welcoming and special. The atmosphere is stunning. It’s rare to find a place that is both aesthetically beautiful and serves truly exceptional food, but this restaurant absolutely delivers both. If you are looking for an unforgettable Turkish dining experience in New York, this is the place. We will absolutely be back.”

“Antique Garage Soho is one of my faves in the city. I went this time with a large group, and despite that, the servers were incredibly attentive and kind throughout the night. The food never disappoints. My first time ordering hummus and i loved the it!!! The ceviche was fresh and flavorful, the octopus was unbelievably soft and delicious, and the fish was perfectly prepared. This was my third visit, and every single time the food has been excellent. I also adore the antique, lovely vibe of the space. It always feels warm, charming, and special, like stepping into another era. Highly recommend this spot for date nights or any occasion when you want great food and a lovely atmosphere.”

“Come for the vibes, not necessarily the food. They converted a mechanic's garage in a really cool way.. dripping with chandeliers, mismatched antiques, and candlelit charm. Very SoHo without being too try-hard 12 of us went in for weekday lunch. They did a stellar job of accommodating us. The Mediterranean food (mezes, kebabs, grilled octopus) was solid and tasty.. didn’t blow our minds, but no complaints Good spot if you want to chill, grab a drink and people watch”

“We randomly stumbled into Antique Garage SoHo on a Sunday afternoon while walking around SoHo. Unfortunately, I wish we had kept walking and eaten somewhere else. The ambiance is what convinced us to sit down. It truly is beautiful inside! The artwork, vintage frames, and chandeliers give the restaurant a unique atmosphere. I'd love to give this spot another try since I have heard many positive things about their dinner service and live jazz nights. To start, I typically order tap water at any restaurant I visit and have never had an issue at any other restaurant in the city. The tap water here had a very unpleasant aftertaste. For an appetizer, we got the Tirokafteri, which had spicy Greek feta, roasted red pepper spread, breadcrumbs, and extra virgin olive oil. It was good but very spicy. The Durum Kebab Sandwich was very good. We originally chose chicken over lamb until our server told us twice not to get the chicken, and they said it a little rude. We ended up taking the recommendation and were glad we did. The lamb was flavorful and tender. I also ordered a burger and it was okay, but nothing I would ever order again for $28+. Overall, the food did not live up to the beautiful atmosphere. I'd be willing to give this spot another try for dinner, but I'm not rushing to come back.”

“The restaurant was a little bit disappointing. The space is interesting knowing that it was a garage space. The interior is busy but nice. The menu has many options but the food was disappointing in terms of taste and portions knowing the cuisine. The traditional chicken skewer was boring and tasteless. The baba ghanouj was ok and the cheese rolls were good. The service was okay but needs attention. Overall disappointing!”
