My husband and I were craving Mediterranean/Turkish food and came across Lale in our search. It was so delicious and authentic! We had the appetizer sampler of various dips and had pide for the first time - so good! Then my husband also ordered the chicken kebab platter - we split everything. Recommend to anyone who is looking for a flavorful authentic meal. 👍🏻👍🏻
Came across this restaurant while looking for local halal options. Located in a small plaza with plenty of parking. The restaurant is connected to a market that carries Turkish groceries. There’s a spacious seating area with just a few tables so it doesn’t feel so crowded. The mixed grill was perfect for two people to share. Each item was seasoned perfectly. I saw that they have Turkish style breakfasts on their menu which is something I have not seen here in NY so I hope to go back to try that one day.
My family and I came here looking for something new to try. This is the first time I've had Turkish food in a long while so I was not sure what to expect. The sign outside is different than the title, it seems like they had a name change recently but it is the same owners. You will see a red sign saying Turkish Restaurant and Market. The food is very rich and I reccomend their Pide Lale 😋 I've never had it before so the size really surprised me, lol. The lamb adana kebab meat was very rich as well. The staff was very friendly and full of smiles. Only slight negative I would have to say was that the tea was very strong, my family and I are used to lighter teas so it did take me by surprise. I'd reccomend you to try, but maybe add sugar to your tea 😋 I'd definitely be telling my friends on the island to try this place. It really is a hidden gem around here! 💛
We were greeted by a lovely and friendly lady. She double checked that our table was clean. We ordered red lentil soup, lahmacun, and Manti (Turkish meat mini dumplings with yogurt sauce). Everything was delicious and she was attentive without being overbearing. We will definitely come back to try more dishes. Highly recommend place.
We ordered the supreme turkish breakfast ($40) and it was plenty of food for 2 people! I would say at least 3-4 people could share easily. Everything tasted amazing and the waitress and owner were super nice! Highly recommend :)
Really enjoyed going for my first time tonight. Really good food. The Pide is probably enough for 2 people. We had the Lale Pide and Donner Kabob and Turkish Tea.
Lale Turkish Restaurant in Lindenhurst is seriously a gem. The food here is exceptional. Fresh and flavorful dishes. From the warm, freshly baked bread to the spreads, cheeses, pastries, and even the Turkish coffee, everything tasted homemade and of the highest quality. They cook with more than just skill, they cook with love. The staff is great. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and made the whole meal feel relaxed and comfortable. This place is also BYOB! So you can bring your own beer and make the meal even better. Lale is one of those spots you visit once and instantly want to come back to, I know I will.
This has been one of my favorite restaurants lately and I've become a regular here. The food is always so good and fresh. I love that it's family owned and run and you can tell they put a lot of love into this business. I also always love browsing the shelves in the front of the store when I come in, they have lots of cool Turkish goodies. I always get the lahmacun which is so fire, and their chicken shish kebob is really good too. I highly suggest checking their Instagram out as well because they post specials on their story.
We came here last minute to celebrate my birthday, and they were kind enough to accommodate 9 people without hesitation. From the moment we sat down, the service was welcoming and attentive, and the food was absolutely amazing. Our entire group loved every dish. We will definitely be back, highly recommend!
The food here is truly extraordinary. We ordered the Turkish dumplings, shepherd’s salad with cheese, Veggie Paradise pide, and the mixed grill platter. Everything was fresh, clearly cooked to order, and packed with bold, delicious flavor. We loved our server. She was extremely attentive and friendly! The restaurant itself is fairly unassuming. While the lighting and overall vibe didn’t really do it for me, the food more than makes up for it and is absolutely the star of the show.
