NAR is a Modern Turkish Restaurant, serving innovative and healthy cuisine in New York.
“As a Turkish person, I absolutely loved Nar Restaurant. They represent Turkish culture and hospitality beautifully. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. The staff made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued, and everyone was incredibly kind and attentive. The bartender even made us a custom sour cocktail, which was delicious. The çiğ köfte (Turkish spicy bulgur appetizer) was amazing, even without meat, and the stuffed grape leaves (dolma) were excellent as well. Those two dishes alone are worth coming back for. My friend and I shared the Nar Kebab, and it was incredibly flavorful while still feeling light. We also loved the künefe for dessert. The only small suggestion would be that the kebab portion could be a little larger. It may seem a bit pricey, but the quality, atmosphere, and service make it worth it. Even on a weekday evening, the restaurant was quite busy and we ended up sitting at the bar, which was still a great experience. If you’re planning to visit for dinner, I would recommend making a reservation in advance. I would definitely come back and highly recommend 🇹🇷 🤍”
“One of the best Turkish restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. The appetizers are outstanding, and the main dishes exceeded my expectations. You definitely need to stop by and try these delicious flavors—you won’t regret it. The atmosphere is beautiful and cozy, perfect for a family/friend gatherings.”
“I celebrated my birthday at Nar today, and it was absolutely amazing! Huge thanks to Zeynep and her wonderful team for truly making my day. It was such an unforgettable night and the perfect way to (nearly) close my 20s ✨ They even served us Turkish tea, which was such a lovely touch. The food was incredible — especially the baba ghanoush (wow!) and the pistachio sarma, which were hands down the best!! ♥️ Thank you again to everyone. Nar is truly one of the best Turkish restaurants where you can experience both exceptional food and a beautiful atmosphere. Everything felt so warm and genuine, and the music selection added so much to the experience without overpowering conversations — something I really appreciated 💌 The space was cozy, intimate, and beautifully authentic; it truly felt like a little piece of Turkey. My only small suggestion would be that the service for cold appetizers was a bit slow. Since the restaurant closes at 11, it could have been slightly faster. Other than that, everything was a solid 10/10. The staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in 🥳💕 It’s such a perfect place for celebrating special occasions — they really know how to make you feel special 👸 I would 100% come back and highly recommend Nar to anyone looking for authentic Turkish cuisine and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.”
“Atmosphere is great. Staff are super friendly. Seems to be a family run restaurant and it shows that they care about their clients. Food was good but portions are on the smaller side and it’s not compensated for by extra quality or flavour. So you end up having to spend a little more to feel satisfied. The dishes are more modern than traditional.”
“Absolutely amazing food and drinks. The staff is kind and welcoming. Service could be a bit more attentive but certainly wasn’t bad. Comfortable seating and a warm atmosphere. Really enjoyed the food and my drink, the forbidden ember. To eat, we got a few appetizers- shrimp, zucchini blossoms, and hummus. My mom and I got the chicken skewers, my dad got one of the kebabs, and our friends got the lamb kebab. All delicious!”
