I was really bias about going to the restaurant with the naming and stuff but I was wrong. The food is good and the server was really nice to us, he even gave us tea for free at the end of our meal. The prices are good for New York overall!

It’s one of my favorite restaurants, considering I love Turkish food. They have great customer service, and the food is always fresh. It’s a bit pricey but quantities are generous.

Quick reply serviceFast prepLack of souse (that’s what knocked of the star)Pretty good variety of foodiesGood looking desserts (have not tried) though look gorgeous. I would come here for an once every few months if you ask me. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Had an urgent need for a place to cater 30 people. The owner was very accommodating to our needs and promptly provided us a space for our event.The food here was delicious and provided in a timely manner. I highly recommend booking Memos for your small or large events. Thank you for the amazing experience!

This place is awesome! I'm a big fan of their lamb Adana (get the large, you'll thank me later)! The wait times are low, the restaurant is relatively clean. Dinner for two will run you between $75 to $100. The lamb chops come a little too well done, so order one temp less (if you like medium, order medium rare). Other than that, beautiful customer service, awesome food, and awesome ambience!

I have eaten authentic Turkish food both in Azerbaijan and Turkey, and unfortunately this does not come close to the food I've eaten on my visits. As a matter of fact, if I were judging solely on authentic Turkish food scale, this place would probably get two stars. However, considering other Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurants in Brooklyn, Memo gets four stars in my book because the overall quality of the food is good and the service is fast. The prices are average for places that have indoor dining.

I just want to say over the past 5 months I have gotten take out from here 11 times and all 11 times they have cheapest out on my food. I’ve been coming here over 8 years and over this past 6 months they fully lost the effort of providing the same food. I got a mix gyro sandwich and they were really cheap I kid you not 4 small strips of lamb and 6-8 small peices of chicken. 70% of the sandwich was salad it’s sad to see such a good restaurant go down hill. And my each order has been the same .

Just a super solid neighborhood spot, huge indoor dining compared to a lot of local spots nearby. They also have a big outdoor patio. This place was bustling all through the pandemic and they are even open late night. It’s a middle eastern cafe/diner vibe. Memo’s is fast casual for sure. Huge grill in front, lots of desserts and they have their own delivery service (call them directly to support and cut out third party fees).The tabule salad is freaking delicious and fresh. Loved it paired with the hummus on their homemade bread that comes toasted on the side. Chicken soup is basic and fresh and straight to the point with a tomato based broth and tons of chicken chunks. The lentil soup tastes super “ healthy”, it’s rich and delicious. Loved it.I usually get their lamb gyro which is always good on the go. If you live nearby this could easily become a regular spot for you. Its fresh, no frills, straight to the point, FAST, reliable and always open.

*I GAVE 1 STAR FOR THE FOOD THERE SERVICE IS WACK*First Lemme Just Tell Y’all These People Attitude Are Mad Stink ? I’ve Entered This Place And There Was This Young Girl At The Front (Don’t Know Her Name) But She Was Really Unpleasant Never Greeted Us ??‍♀️ She Just Said “Lemme See Ya Vaccines” And Rolled Her Eyes ?Unprofessional Much And Then Said “Take A Seat“ Sat Down Ready To Place Our Order They Just Be Staring At Our Tables (Interracial Couples) No One Is Trying To Take The Order Then My Boyfriend Called A Waiter He Then Place Some Knives/Forks with Sauces & Napkins On The Table … We We Waited Like Extra 5-7 mins To Place The Order Then My Boyfriend Called Again And Waitress Came She Seemed Impatient As Soon As She Got To The Table☹️ Never Asked Us Anything/ Say Anything My Boyfriend Said Can We Have Chicken Shish Kebab/ Adana Shish Kebab With Fries And Lamb/Chicken Gyro She Said Ok Left We Waited For The Food It Was Good I Liked It ?? Temperature/ Portions Great ? Ate My Food Then Requested The Bill It Was $46.57 And I Gave Them $47 Flat WE ALWAYS GIVE TIPS BUT WITH THESE NASTY ATTITUDE TURKISH EMPLOYEES ?THEY WON’T EVER GET A TIP FROM US #SORRYNOTSORRY

Customer service is non existent, staff are rude and have a don't care attitude. Overpriced food that is bland and nothing special. Eveyone commenting that their food is tasty must not have experienced eating good Turkish food. Visited this restaurant 10yrs ago and didn't like the experience, never went back. Gave them a chance again last week, sad to say, nothing has changed. Attitude, attitude, attitude. I ordered to take out and they handed me the wrong order. When I called back 15 mins later from home when I found out it was the wrong order, the male answering the call blamed me for taking the order that was handed to me by them instead of apologizing for his mistake and then screams at me to come pickup my order..huh? I spend atleast $70-150 at a restaurant and don't need to put up with condescending treatment for giving you my business. Good luck staying in business in Covid. No more chances, goodbye forever Memo!?
