My boyfriend and I spent New Years here. Everything was fantastic and the price was very reasonable!!

okay first, the bread is delicious, it doesnt get better than warm bread coming straight from the oven. second, how could you pass up a mezze plate with 6 different tastes of turkish appetizers. third DELICIOUS branzhini, with a side of veggies and pistachio relish sitting on a bed of roasted fennel, i think so. and last, the server was very informative, she was the one to suggest the branzhini in the first place, said it was the best dish on the menu. as well as suggested a wine and our appetizer plate. all in all, like Bodrum in turkey, bodrum restaurant is a must.

Being part Turkish and having visited Bodrum, Turkey- I can say that my visit to this eatery was disappointing. I brought my friend who is a vegetarian and desired to try Turkish cuisine. The only vegetarian options were the meze and salads. That's fine, except when asked if the red lentil soup contained any meat, the waitress offered up some bizarre story about how she worked in a jewish restaurant and that the soup should be the same- then finally replied "I don't know". A good waitress would've went to the kitchen to find out the contents. Since my friend didn't have an entree to choose from, I decided not to get traditional Turkish fare and went with the pizza. It was good, in fact, the best tasting thing I had from this restaurant was their fresh-from-the-oven bread. It is a nice touch, as guests can view them traditionally baking the bread. The braised leeks were okay and the eggplant was promising. There was one overly accommodating Turkish waiter and he was the only pleasant person I encountered there. My visit was topped off by nearly being headbutted by one of the overly eager patrons racing to the restroom (visit the restaurant and you will see how two people cannot simultanously fit down the corridor leading to the restrooms). All in all, I have had better Turkish in this city with better service and far better attempts at cuisine. I will leave the positive reviews to all the Upper West Side residents that seem to favor this subpar restaurant.

This is such a great addition to the neighborhood, from the same people who run the lovely Bella Luna on Columbus Ave. The food is varied, fresh, and delicious. Everything from the classics (hummus, kebabs) to interesting pizzas and appetizers. We love it

The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Only downside is they don't take cc for delivery

Just found Bodrum and as parents of a newborn, were really excited to have an addtl yummy option. However, on our second order in a week, we ordered one of their pizzas along with several other items. My husband is very allergic to tomatoes so I asked if the pizza was an olive oil base. The hostess replied that it was. I then asked again if there were any tomatoes on the pizza at all b/c my husband is allergic. She said no. We ordered and it came with tomatoes so we nicely called back and told them the error. My husband ordered another entree. A few minutes later, the manager or owner called back verbally assaulting my husband and implying we were trying to pull a scam to receive a more expensive item (the new entree cost $4 more which we were happy to pay). He finally agreed to deliver the new entree after the hostess admitted to telling us there were no tomatoes (although he called it a miscommunication). Very sad that I can't support this restaurant anymore and I hope the manager/owner learns to treat his customers with a little more respect.

We live in upstate NY and visited NYC this weekend. We wanted to treat several of our NYC nieces and nephews to a relaxed meal at the end of their workday on a Friday night. We needed to have time together. We searched for a place that offered a nice variety of entrees, interesting cuisine, and one which wouldn't rush us out the door immediately following dinner. After some research, we selected Bodrum Mediterranean, and we were most pleased with the meal and their gracious hospitality. We were able to order several bottles of wine for the table without breaking the bank. The mezze allowed us to sample a little of each appetizer. We ordered two for our table of 7, and every item appealed to our palates. Two of our party ordered the kebab with chicken; two ordered the salmon, two ordered brick oven pizzas with prosciutto and/or sausage. Most important for us was the fact that no one rushed us through dinner despite the fact that seating is tight and patrons were waiting. We loved the place, and we are eager to return.
