10/10! Highly recommend! The chicken gyro is one of my favorites. Definitely a must !

I celebrated four birthdays at this Turkish restaurant on Emmons Ave in Sheepshead Bay, and it was an incredible experience. The staff provided outstanding service, and the food was exceptional. The meal featured a variety of delicious dishes, including savory potato and shepherd's pie, mixed dips, zucchini fritters, and a selection of fresh salads. For the mains, we enjoyed perfectly cooked baby lamb chops, mixed grills, branzini, and steak. And the desserts were the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.

It's a nice venue with a lot of tables- as indoors as outdoors... good for a family dinner or special occasions, I think... because of the size of the portions-so big! I and my friend , knowing the size of the portions (always good to know beforehand) ordered just one salad and one entree, we even couldn't finish the whole dishes, because of the size! Grilled octopus salad-big enough to feed 3 people with a lot of octopus-so generous!!! And Branzini fillet - very tasty/tender. Prices are as everywhere else, but portion size - real treat!

Great place on Emmons serving authentic Turkish cuisine with a Mediterranean twist. As a connoisseur of fine dining experiences, I recently visited Opera to indulge in their renowned offerings. This was not my first time so I knew the food there was delicious. That's why I went there with my friends. The place itself is very lively, there are usually always a lot of visitors and noisy. Therefore, if you are looking for a more peaceful and quiet place, it is better to look elsewhere. I often like to order fish, so I decided to try it here too. I can say that my branzino was very appetizing.

The place is huge and decorated very nicely! The staff is attentive! The salads are amazing and the chicken is very thin which is a huge plus! The cigar rolls were also fresh and crispy! Very happy with my experience here!

Food here is always fresh and delicious. The outdoor seating when the weather is nice cannot be beat. The prices are a little high but that's expected for a water front restaurant I guess.

This update is for delivery, which was genuinely superb. Don't sleep on Opera. Customer service and food are delightful. Being that I'm congested with a head cold, I began searching high and low for a place with excellent chicken soups. You know because chicken soup is really good for the soul. Opera's chicken soup was just what I needed. Full of nice pieces of chicken and carrots and the broth was perfect - not overly salty like some other places. I loved it and even have leftovers for tomorrow. Also very much enjoyed were the perfectly seasoned chicken tenders, which were more like chicken cutlets and the super flavorful French fries. Also to note that Mom really loved her chicken wrap! Thank you Opera and Door Dash for the speedy delivery and delicious and nourishing food. I'm starting to feel better already!

Always my go to when I'm back in Sheepshead Bay and visiting my parents! We have been coming to Opera ever since they opened (at least 10 years ago). You never need a reservation because the restaurant is HUGE. We got a table at the couches for 6 people. It was very spacious but we wish there were pillows in the couch to prop us up / feel more comfortable. The food and service is always great but wow, the portions got wayyyy smaller. We got a large shepherd salad to share for 6. When the waiter brought the large salad over, i asked if it was a small... the portions were never this small! We shared fried calves liver, shepherd salad, and calamari for appetizers. The liver was fried well with great seasoning. The calamari was fresh and crispy, but small portion. I got a whole grilled Branzino which came with a side salad. The fish was so moist and flaky. The seasoning was subtle enough to bring out the flavor of the fish. The salad went really well too with a light olive oil dressing. I love how you San taste / smell the grill on the fish skin. My husband got Alfredo pasta with chicken. Yes, we know this is a Turkish spot, but they offer some other options as well! The chicken and mushroom in the pasta was yummy and it wasn't overbearingly creamy. My mom's go to here is the octopus salad - I tried a piece of the octopus and it was cooked perfectly. Others got lamb shank, Buffalo wings, and Adana kebab. Everyone enjoyed the food. For dessert; we had to of course get Turkish tea and coffee, and their infamous cheese kunefe! Do not skip out on the cheese kunefe, it is made fresh on the spot and soooo gooooood!!!

We had lunch here last Thursday for my wife's birthday and haven't stopped raving to area friends about this gem of a stellar local business. It is my pleasure to rave to you about this awesome business. I start with its superb ambiance: the lounge atmosphere, the quality of bathrooms and interior design, its copious outdoor seating great for ambiance but also the peridemic time when we still don't want our young children to get ill especially merely for eating out, the superb famously attentive staff, its unique and delicious menu, the regularly dependable cooking, the stylish everything, and finally the overall happy feeling true to their slogan on the receipt, "A moment of joy". The outdoor seating facing Emmons is wisely done with the original seating having an open retractable roof. It is appended by some sidewalk seating which is well built up with coopious lighting and decor. There is also the C19-era outdoor seating further out on this particularly wide sidewalk area which is beautifully done with real tables and carpeting and all nicely maintained so many years after their city-wide introduction. Big kudos to the design and construction for all this area. The food is especially worth raving about with our 4 major dishes all totally deliciously hitting the mark: the lamb shank, mixed grill (5 kebabs, excellently chosen), seafood linguine (handily competes with any other, and Brooklyn is competitive for this), and chicken gyro plate. Service and staff are top notch. While some reviews joke it's overstaffed, our beloved Yuksel and the busboy Victor were to be praised. They made every request big and small so very easy. We used the bathrooms in the interior and the fanciness of the lounge concept is clear with beautiful tile, nice aromatics, dim lighting for style, very appropriately ambient music, smart layout of individual rooms each with a sink and 2 more outside of them, and copious paper supplies. Note they serve chicken gyros Mon-Thurs and lamb gyros Fri-Sun with only exceptions being the children's versions thereof). It's a wise accommodation for easier ordering and supply so their customer experience is more reliable while supply difficulties continue. We loved it and will celebrate many a future day here, bringing friends and family along in the future.
