Inspired by the strait that connects the Black and Mediterranean seas, this Midtown seafood spot makes a serious bid for authenticity. Dardanel imports all their fish daily from the Mediterranean region, with branzini from Turkey, anchovies from the Black Sea and St. Peter's fish from Israel. There's that distinct taste you only get from the Mediterranean ocean, the fish is a little saltier, requiring very little additional seasoning. Yes, you can get grilled whole anything, but for a more unique spin, try less predictable fare like stuffed flounder, jammed with spinach, sun-dried tomato, green pepper and mushroom.
Aside from the amazing flavors, another huge plus is that everything is affordable, in case those economic jitters might be dampening your appetite. Be sure to try one of Dardanel’s mouthwatering Turkish specials like Sultan's Delight or Manti and you’ll be glad you decided to dine with them!
Eggplant Salad—Grilled eggplant mixed with chopped red and green peppers, dill, garlic, lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil
Octopus Salad—Grilled octopus; served with Romaine lettuce, ripe tomatoes and red onion
Swordfish Shish Kebab—Char-grilled swordfish shish kebab; served with grilled vegetables and rice
Manti—Handmade beef dumplings; served with light yogurt garlic sauce
Salmon Fillet—Brick oven baked basil sauced salmon fillet; served with grilled vegetables
Sultan’s Delight—Slow-cooked beef; served over eggplant purée

Really love the Mediterannean Salad, I get it almost every week! Their hummus is yummy, definitely a good lunch spot if you want something healthy and not too heavy. They always deliver on time and haven't yet messed up any of my orders, which has happened quite a lot with various other places.

Delivery came a little late but all was forgiven when I tasted the food. I got the zucchini pancakes which were unbelievably tasty- out of this world good. Also they give you 3 hefty pancakes; I only could finish 2 and I was starving. I also ordered a side of their homemade bread which also was insanely good especially dipped in an extra order of yogurt sauce. The meal also came with a complimentary Turkish Delight which was absolutely delicious and a very nice touch. Probably my favorite lunch I have ever ordered.

Dardanel restaurant is like a gem in this neighborhood. I order from this place often and everytime I order, they never disappoint me. I ordered Manti which is Turkish Dumpling today. Delivery was prompt and it was very delicious. It came with their house-made bread and their complimentary Turkish Delight dessert. I usually get their char-grilled bronzini or chicken shish kebobs, but today's choice was excellent. Very satisfied with my meal today.

Expectations: Surpassed! I placed my order and received my delivery in less time than they said it would take, the portions were so generous that I was able to create two meals out of one, fresh food at an unbelievably reasonable price, PLUS warm homemade bread AND FREE dessert. I will be ordering from Dardanel much more frequently!

They were an 90 mins late (not the 20-35 mins they state). I ordered the lunch special with Lamb Adana Sandwich and the Cacik. The sandwich was tasty but had very little meat. It was mainly good bread with a tasty lemony tomato and cucumber salad with 2 small pieces of meat. The cacik was good. I would not order again from them.

Biggest disappointment on Seamless Web to date. Overpriced. Tasteless.
Posted 8 months ago by Carol W.
Delicious. So pleasantly surprised, though I shouldn't have been considering the great reviews. Delivered early. Food was hot and tasted great, was high-quality and healthy. I love the extras (a tomato-based hot sauce, tzatziki, a little dessert treat). Will be ordering this often (as will my coworkers, who smelled my food and were drooling even though they had already eaten!) Yum! Thanks Dardanel, for being awesome.
Posted 8 months ago by Kathryn T.
Thanks to everyone who decided to write a great review. This place is Y-U-M to the M-A-X! I had the Cacik and is was amazing, the Beef Shish Sandwich was in a wrap and the veggies were the freshest and the beef was tender and cooked very well. I loved the Fries and the Pie Bread too! Finally, the Baklava was fresh and not to sweet or sticky. These people know what they are doing and I'm so happy I ordered from them. I'll be back! Oh - and - the delivery was on time, if not a few minutes early! The best seemlessweb experience EVER! Well done! S~

Their Zagat rating was well deserved. Their lamb sandwich is one of the best i've ever had.
Posted 8 months ago by Heidi K.
Just ordered here for the first time and I loved it. The falafels are excellent - they're made in flat, oval shape rather than the typical round ball shape. But the taste is really what matters and these are the tastiest I've ever had. I usually eat them with hummus or tahini, but these were so delicious that I ate them plain. The hummus was also very good - great flavor and more of a chunkier/thicker consistency than I usually get, which is great bc it holds with the bread more easily. I wasn't too keen on the pide bread - too thick and plain for my taste; I prefer regular pita.
Posted 8 months ago by Dolores F.
I ordered cacik as an appetizer and Sultan's Delight as an entree. The cacik was very good, but the Sultan's Delight was disappointing - the eggplant puree seemed to have had some kind of thickening agent added to it that gave it a texture like raw bread dough, and it didn't have a lot of flavor.
Posted 9 months ago by Jeffrey K.
Food was ok but not worth it due to price. I can wrap a pita around grilled chicken w/ some lettuce/tomato any way and not pay $9 for it... i'm shocked this placed got such high ratings. I ordered the chx andana and chx sheesh sandwiches. Both were tiny.

Excellent! I was so blown away because I had no idea what to expect. I ordered whole grilled fish, which was one of the best I've ever had. I also ordered their eggplant salad which was delicious as was the homemade bread. The small sweet that they include with your meal is a nice touch and delivery was timely.

I've known this restaurant for years, and always was impressed with food and service when dining in. Take out was just as good. Chicken shish with lamb patties and very good grilled veggies on the side were flavorful and moist. Shepard's salad also excellent. Delivery within promised time range, and food was hot.

This is definitely my new go-to place for Turkish food! Yum! I ordered the pre-fix lunch and it was perfect! They also send you this delicious soft bread and a little dessert treat! The portion is a little small is you have a big appetite, but for the price, i think is perfect. I love that I dont have to spend $20 in order for them to deliver!

I recently ordered the lunch special from this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken shish kebab was very tasty and fresh and it came with perfectly cooked rice, potato, and vegetables. The humus appetizer was also delicious, as was the small apricot dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant when someone is looking for a non-sandwich, more substantial lunch.

Posted 10 months ago by Lauren H.
Reasuringly delicous. A proper palate of flavours, aromas and colour. Everything was cooked well, some items suffered a little in transit (Falafel) but the lamb, the appetisers and the sauces remained fresh and vibrant. Every dish was excellent. Don't keep the food warm in their trays, they melt.

Posted 11 months ago by Michael B.
Honestly, the food here is excellent. I cannot complain about the food quality. However, their delivery needs serious help. I placed an order last night understanding it would take 20-30 minutes to arrive. I called at 20 minutes and let the person know I desperately needed the food, as I had ordered the food to send with my mom on her long bus ride back to DC. I let the hostess know that I would be more than willing to walk around the corner to pick up to insure that my mom could have dinner. Girl got back on the phone - no, it's on it's way, and you'll have the food ANY SECOND. Ok, I can deal with that. I wait for another ten minutes. no food. My mom has to leave to catch her bus with no dinner. Food arrives ten minutes after that. 20 Minutes after they told me any second. Grr...this isn't the only time i've had issues with deliveries taking a very long time. If you do eat here, either dine in, go pick up your food, or be prepared to wait and wait.

I order the Chicken and Beef shish and hummas, and it wasn't good at all ! The Chicken was raw from the inside, not cooked enough at all ! the portian sizes was very small too! its like a kids meal. the only vegtable was a slice of tomato. and two spoons of rice. Very little portian not worth the money spent at all. The hummas was dry, had better turkish food else where, this is by far the worst turkish i have ever ate... the only thing was good was there bread that came with the hummas. The deleivery time was decent, came in about 25 minutes. But never again !

The meat dishes were a real rip-off. The Sultan's Delight was mostly eggplant puree with a few scattered small pieces of lamb. The Tandir was even worse - the lamb was so overcooked and dry it was inedible.
Posted a year ago by Kathleen D.
I ordered 'Sultan`s Delight' and it was pretty tasty, but I felt it was a little skimpy on the lamb for an entree. Lamb was delicious and the eggplant puree was tasty (not greasy, but still heavy b/c a lot of it fills container). Still, I thought there was too much puree and not enough chunks of beef. Accompanying bread was fresh and delicious. Food did arrive a bit on the cooler side. Would try the place again though for a second chance on another entree (perhaps a rice dish).

I ordered pick up for the first time, and the food was very mediocre and stingy. I ordered a side of roasted potatoes, which is $3.95, and opened the bag to find SIX small pieces of potato. That's nearly $0.70/potato!!! Outrageous!!! Secondly, I ordered a falafel sandwich. The sandwich has no dressing on it, so it was extremely dry, and the falafel, itself was dry and tasted very plain. I am surprised by these good reviews. Makes me wonder who is actually writing them.

We decided to try Dardanel when we noticed the 30% discount promotion they were running. We both loved it. The Sultan's Delight is fantastic, don't be turned off by the description if you're not crazy about eggplant, give it a try! Order extra bread, because it's great and only costs a buck. I don't know what they call it, but it's sort of a cross between a pita and bagel. It's thicker and crustier than a pita, but smaller and less stodgy than a bagel. Ours arrived literally hot from the oven. The arugula salad was fresh and also refreshing, with its simple lemon dressing. The falafel sandwich is served in a traditional wrap, not in a pita, and is very good. All together very happy, looking forward to ordering from Dardanel again.
