Hassan was our server and a pleasure to meet. We truly enjoyed our meals portions and amazing taste. We kind talk about the beautiful Turkish cuisine and culture. The hospitality was great. We had Turkish tea as a courtesy from the restaurant. The presentation of the food was very colorful. And we enjoyed our dessert as well.

I walked in around 3:45 p.m. The staff was very pleasant, and helpful. I got the haydari appetizer and a small Mediterranean salad. They did everything perfect and everything is extremely fresh. The balloon bread is amazing too. You must try out this place. I will be back
I came here for iftar with my friend and I enjoyed my experience soo much. The food was great, I ordered the Lahmajun and Doner platter. Both dishes were delicious and for dessert we can this creamy custard with cinnamon on top. Would definitely come here again with family. The service was amazing too constantly checking if we needed anything. And ofc don’t forget to end off your meal with some turkish tea ☕️
First time coming to Istanbul Bay, I highly recommended it, service is exceptional & food is amazing, you can taste the culture! We tried the mix grill that included an assortment of meat, bread, and rice. It filled my family of 5 just fine! The servers recommended the rice pudding and it was light and delectable. Would 100% recommend this place to anyone interested trying new and tasty cuisine in Staten Island.
The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt authentic and made with high-quality ingredients. You can truly taste the richness of Mediterranean cuisine in every bite. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance between cozy and vibrant. The staff was attentive, kind, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. I will absolutely be coming back!
