About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
Little Rascal With a multicolor wood entrance way, a date-night-ready low-candlelit interior (seriously, that Tina Fey movie is at its best when you can barely see it), and a bar slinging pitchers of sangria, this Middle Eastern spot will get your face full of mezes like housemade Turkish pickles and mains including baby lamb chops, plus octopus casseroles just like mom used to make.

    Food is good but a bit expensive for entrees and a bit small.

    Birthday celebration for my 28 year old. Eclectic group of diners that’s all loved the food and service. We ordered a variety of food to share, all of which exceeded expectations! Just a great place and reasonable value. We will be back!!

    We had such an amazing night here with 8 of us total. Great food pleasing to vegetarian, pescatarian and meat eaters alike. The service was SO efficient and friendly. We shared starters and each ordered mains and everyone was so pleased. They also had great cocktails with a small but good bubbly and wine/beer list. We will be back and we suggest you go as well!

    One of my favorite places in New York!! This is the only place I’ve found that offers a full Turkish breakfast (SO much food - a truly incredible deal!) with all the ingredients fresh and delicious. The staff is also absolutely lovely, and willing to answer all my questions (and even tell me where they get some of their ingredients). I lived in Istanbul for a while, and after I returned to the US I spent months trying to satisfy my craving for authentic Turkish food - this is it!
