“This place has a great mezze and appetizer platter with enough variety to treat you. The branzino is very good too although maybe too much for two people. Overall, very good food that doesn’t feel too indulgent.”
“Dining at Rana Fifteen for Rana’s Table felt like being invited into someone’s home for a big, generous feast. The spread just kept coming.. meze, seafood, mains, and dessert—all meant to share, which made the whole experience feel really fun and communal. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared, with a few standout dishes that I kept going back for. It’s the kind of meal where you leave completely full but already thinking about when you’d come back.”
“I tried almost all Turkish breakfast places in NYC and this one is one of the best. Why? First of all they bring exact enough food to table, not much to waste. Second, they serve a little “more gourmet” food than other places. Third, they have AMAZING pancakes. Actually I can easily say that they have the best pancakes. Only down part is parking. We spent almost 20 minutes to be able to find street parking and at the end we just parked at a parking garage.”
“Rana Fifteen is one of those places we walked past so many times and always said, “we should try that soon.” After finally going, I cannot believe we waited this long. It might honestly be one of the best intimate dinner spots in the Park Slope and Gowanus area. If you go, the move is absolutely Rana’s Table. It is a set style meal where you get to try all the appetizers, a few mezzes, one entree, and a dessert. It is the perfect way to experience the menu because the dishes keep coming and every plate brings a new flavor to the table. By the end of the meal we were happily full and still talking about our favorite bites. The space itself adds to the experience. The interiors are warm and cozy, perfect for a relaxed dinner where you want to take your time and enjoy everything. The staff was also incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the night even better. The only small note would be the cocktails. They were fine, but next time I would probably skip them and go with wine instead. That seemed to be the move around the room anyway. Overall this is the kind of place you immediately want to come back to with friends and family. A really special spot that feels both intimate and memorable. 🍷✨”
“We were a group of three and ate there before the NYE. We got their set menu with lots of meze and two main dishes which were lamb and branzino. All of the food was tasty no bad memories. We got a 70cl rakı which is the best drink in the world and with everything included the price was $250 for all of us. I feel like that’s insane when you compare it with $18 cocktails all around. The food is not Turkiye level insane but it was still really good ;) I’m taking one point off the atmosphere because we were sitting on a stone bench and they took our pillow that we got from a chair (because our butts were freezing on the stone) and the waiter got the pillows back rudely. She could’ve provided some other pillows or could’ve been nicer. Good for a group meeting dinner.”
