Bensonhurst Turkish Kebabs With Free Tea and Fruit After Dinner

Share a cold appetizer platter, order lamb chops or fresh pide, and expect a 19 percent automatic gratuity.

Start with the cold appetizers.

🫓 Bread Before the Mains

The pita bread arrives before the mains at Istanbul Bay Turkish Restaurant, a corner spot in Bensonhurst. At 2202 86th St, the menu moves from tender kebabs to fresh pide, with Turkish classics filling out the choices for dinner.

Pick between lamb chops and chicken chops served with rice and greens, or turn to falafel. A cold appetizer platter puts multiple spreads in the middle of the table, ready to share before everyone settles on a main. The room is spacious and the setting casual, leaving you to work through the menu with company. Your meal ends with complimentary tea and fruit, keeping a little of the evening for after the plates are cleared.

It opens every day at 11 AM and stays open until quarter to 1 AM the following morning. The final bill includes a 19 percent automatic gratuity.
