Today was our first time at Tukuaz Grill. I was here many years ago but after seeing it on News 12 East End, that sparked my interest.
We ordered the humus and the babaganoush appetizers. I have no pictures but I will say we devoured them quickly! They were both tasty and excellent. We just needed to ask for more pita.
For lunch we had the lamb kebab, Doner platter and the Falafel.
Here’s my take on the food. The portions are all very nice and came out hot. My wife enjoyed her Falafel and m my daughter in law enjoyed her Doner platter. My Kebab was 8 pieces of lamb but I thought that the seasoning was kind of bland. I was expecting that string lamb flavor like when you are biting into a nice Lamb Gyro at the diner! Again, it wasn’t bad, I just didn’t get that “wow” of flavor that I was expecting from the Lamb. I think the meat was missing a little char to it as well. I also tasted the meat from the Doner platter and felt the same about the seasoning. My daughter in law said it was delicious so maybe it’s just me….. who knows, Covid again? I hood not LOL!
I will go back but then I will go for the Lamb Gyro.
This little spot near the water is so cute and wonderful! The outdoor seating and view are beautiful.
The food was equally as beautiful! The meat was so juicy and delicious. I wish I had taken a picture of my plate. It was wiped clean!
What a great experience and awesome atmosphere especially the hospitality. The hole staff was amazing. The food speaks for itself. Mustafa was our waiter and his attitude was very welcoming. The area is filled with happiness. The location is by the water. It's in the cut but a very spacious place. I loved everything about it and will definitely be returning. Thank you all for the amazing attention. Our family enjoyed every little bit of our time there. See you soon. This is a diamond in the rough spot.
Amazing Authentic Mediterranean Food! This is a place we choose when we want to have something “healthy”. The plates have the intention and flavor it deserves. I’ve had Chicken & Lamb Adana, Red Lentil Soup, and more. Highly Recommend 👍🏼
Mediterranean restaurant with nice water view.
Recommendation: fried liver, lamb chop, and donor kabab.
Their highlight is the grill. I like the outdoor seating. It is not hot and you can enjoy the water view as well as the breeze. The only problem is that when the wind blows to the wrong direction, I am inside the smoke LOL
They have many options for meat/type of grill. Service is fantastic. The waiter is amazing. He greeted us with friendly smile and offer us suggestions with enthusiasm. Highly recommend if visit places near Riverhead.
The food was prepared fresh and not overcooked. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating. The choices are not bad for vegan or vegetarian. They will accommodate you if you need meat free options. The coffee was fabulous and so was the dessert. Great place to go for lunch, dinner or date night. They have an outdoor patio which quaint and cozy. It has a nice view of the water, too. The parking is not easy because of nearby attractions but is worth the walk if you can not find a spot nearby. The restrooms were also very clean. Overall, it is a nice place, reasonably priced and authentic, Turkish cuisine. I will be back again! Great little place to eat, especially if you are heading to the wineries or are on your way back. It is also not far from Tanger outlets.

If you're out east looking to try Turkish food this is a great spot I would recommend.
Halal options were confirmed. A little on the more expensive side
Food was great. Tasty and fresh and ample amount.
Service was spot on. No issues and very helpful.
Atmosphere was amazing nice view and quiet.
This place is such a hidden gem 💎. The location is quite charming and the service is very good. The food was so good and authentic. We will definitely be returning!
Was staying at the Hyatt round the corner, found this place down by the river.
They have a decent sized outdoor area and were in masks etc for Covid.
Honestly we had a great meal, lovely Mediterranean food, couple of glasses of wine, and super nice staff.
Would absolutely recommend it to anyone who likes that kind of food.
We had hummus, salad and "cigar" apps, then mixed grill and kids portions of the chicken and lamb kebabs with rice and fries. Finished with rice pudding for dessert. All very tasty and well cooked. Had a view of the water and some cute outdoor tables and lights.
Absolutely worth a visit.
