NAR Modern Turkish CuisineB+

34 E 20th St #3, New York, NY 10003 · Turkish restaurant, Mediterranean restaurant, Restaurant · Gramercy

Modern Turkish spot with standout manti, kebabs, and octopus, stylish ambiance, but small portions and uneven service at peak times; strong owner engagement and creative menu justify prices for enthusiasts.

Why this grade

NAR Modern Turkish Cuisine delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by standout manti, pistachio lamb, and octopus, plus stylish contemporary design that appeals to date-night crowds. However, inconsistent execution during peak service—including pacing delays and portion variance—and small portions relative to pricing prevent a higher grade. The restaurant excels on calmer nights but shows reliability gaps when busy, making it a worthwhile destination for Turkish enthusiasts willing to time their visits strategically.

One caveat: Pricing is high and portions can feel modest for mains and breakfast
