Hakki Baba

This small family run restaurant has some of the best authentic Turkish food. Good service mixed with a little bit of love in their food goes a long way. We ordered the mixed appetizer plate, although a little pricey for apps, it was more than enough for 4 people and very tasty! The babaganoush was my personal favorite. The bread was warm and fresh out the oven and the Shepard salad with feta was a little dry, but still good. The chicken kebab was nicely marinated, grilled and delicious. Don’t forget to ask for some Turkish tea prepared in a unique way with 2 kettles and not just a tea bag served in cute little cups or Turkish coffee which is great for espresso lovers. We will definitely be coming back to try some more items on the menu.

What an amazing place! Starting from interior: modern, clean, everything made from nice wood. The food!!! OMG it’s amazing! I’ve never had such a soft, tasteful chicken and meat. Hummus is great, liver is to die for, i ate the whole plate! Mix grill kebab I recommend to everyone! Delicious!!! You can tell this food is made with love, and passion. Big thanks to Eyup and Ferda amazing and caring people. They took such a good care of us! THANK YOU!!!

very nice authentic Turkish restaurant. the food is delicious!!! i love Lahmacun very much!

Very good lunch specials. Tasty soup, appys & great chicken shish. Minus 1 star-didn’t care for the rice, little undercooked. All in all nice place & good food. Will definitely return.

Authentic Turkish restaurant where you can eat delicious food.
Their «beyti» is BEST in New Jersey. No kidding. If you like meat, you will love this dish.
Also try their «Turkish dumplings» in lunch menu. You will not be disappointed.
I am getting addicted this restaurant.

Celebrated the wife’s birthday there. Wanted to use the
coupon but I had some problems. The service was a bit slow even though when we got there we were the only ones. As vegetarians there isnt too much besides a few cold appetizers, 2 hot appetizers and pide. So we got various mezze and enjoyed the bread we got with it. the first bread was more like a ciabatta and the second set that was hot was like naan. The pide was good. the ending baklava was way too sweet.
Overall not bad.

Truly excellent local Turkish restaurant. The cold appetizers were fantastic, starting with the Shepard salad. The hummus and lebne were outstanding. Best chicken kebab I’ve ever eaten. This is my third time there. The lamb kebabs, although tender, could’ve used more marinade and then grilled more. the kitten (ground beef with spices patties) was also very tasty. The baklava, although good, was nothing unusual. The service, was very pleasant and accommodating, but a bit spotty… on balance more than acceptable. I would highly recommend this restaurant

Food are delicious, ambiance is good as well and waiters are friendly. Sarma Beyti and Lamb Shank are my favorites. You should try them!

Quiet place in a neighborhood, but worth a trip. They have a fantastic assortment of dishes. Our wives had eaten lunch here and insisted we come back.
We were six. The appetizers were exceptional. We had humus that was great, eggplant salad and roasted eggplant were spicy and very good. We also haf cigarette barreckas and liver that were tasty.
Our main courses consisted of a variety of meats in a variety of sauces. The portions were large and we took a lot of food home. Overall an excellent dining experience.

Just got delivery through grub hub, it did came rather quick, got excited, trying a new place. Ordered simple items like baba ganouch and couple of shuwarma like sandwiches. Proceed to try baba ganouch, kid you not 3 bites in to it I am running to the toilet! Whatever I swallowed came right up! Ok no biggie, it happens I guess, never to me but I proceed to eat the chicken Shish kebab sandwich, which should not be in a normal wrap, that type of food comes in a pitta bread… So far so good no more trips to the bathroom, I call the place to tell them that they should check their baba ganouch, the guy answers with what do you want me to do about it ?! I said nothing ! Wtf ?! Say thank you and have a good night, then I hang up! Couple min later he even gets the balls to call me back and tell me to never order again and watch my mouth! How about you watch your shitty food?! And no worries I will never call for your poisoned food again! Turkish food around here is done a dozen you’ll last about 3 more months…
Btw are these reviews written by staff and family members?

Try something different, in non pretentious warm atmosphere, where everything has been thoughtfully prepared even the level of «Spanish Guitar music» playing at a perfect 55 — 57db level, like the sound of rain falling outside.
You HAVE TO ASK for the Home made Ayran, and Turkish coffee.
Number 30 on the menu is the Chicken Shish Kebab with Yogurt… Oh yeah, that was good…

Stuffed cabbage, a chicken dish, delicious Turkish bread, a peasant salad, hummus and babakanush appetizers made a wonderful Sunday dinner.

Omg ! I’m Turkish and the food here is just as good as Turkey. It is a family business and the service is wonderful! The décor is lovely and I will eat there very often!

Friendly service, family atmosphere, clean facilities, and the food to die for!
The prices are reasonable too. If you want great Turkish food, this is the place!
