OBA Restaurant Reviews

A sample of Turkey. Fresh food. Best kebabs and delicious desserts.

Went with some of my buddies and had a great experience last day. This Mediterranean restaurant is very busy on weekends. I loved the tasty items because these are so delicious, spicy, and yummy. Popular foods are Chicken Gyro, Lamb Gyro, etc.

If you order lamb jyro with homemade bread you get 80% salad and 20% lamb . Don't go this place

Found this place after a hike in Forrest Hills Park. A clean bright place to have a bite and people watch, or not. Greeted by friendly staff, water and pita service with olives, tzatziki and another spicy sauce. Really enjoy the small plate options. Ordered a small Chicken Shish Kebab plate and a large Med salad with Lamb gyro added. Excellent

Scooter did not fit inside. They have outdoor tables

2 stars just for the bread we where 2 we ordered gyro was a mistake it was dry with no taste salads was fresh with no taste

I m not a big fan of the food here. But the service is good and the food is reasonably priced.

I est at Oba s once a week and their chicken/ lamb gyro platter with the french fried is delicious. Their rice is mixed with chickpeas and also taste very good. Vert hearty meal and one platter can feed two people. Their pitas are made fresh too

Great menu and food, hard to find a seat at lunch time.

Best part of Oba is their really fresh and we'll cooked food. Been there over 5 times, each time I ordered something else, the quality is really good.

Very good Mediterranean food. Authentic cuisine prepared simple and deliciously. Friendly service too.

I just got home from picking up my order. First it was wrong. I ordered a chicken adana (received lamb). I paid to upgrade my salad to shepherds (it was not). I asked for no bread (they gave me bread). And to top it off there was hair in my rice. It went in the garbage!

Good food It s a nice place in a good location. It s spacious, clean, good food and good service.

Excellent service from the time we walked-in till we exited. The lentil soup, Adana kebab and the dessert were delicious!

My friend and I ordered the mixed grill! It was so good and perfect for sharing and we still couldn't finish. The meat is cooked and seasoned to perfection!! Love this place! And the servers are so friendly and kind.

Great Greek food. It gets busy during peak hours, but there's a reason for that.

My friends and I have been dining at this spot since it opened, but overall, the consistency and service of this restaurant has been frustrating.Today, we decided to grab a bite here for outdoor dining and the service was highly disappointing. The server messed up our order not once but least 5 times. First, my friend ordered adana kebab but they came back with chicken wings. Second, we ordered a side of fries and another large fries. and we had to ask them every 20 minutes if our fries were ready and it turned out they never placed the order. When they finally came back with our fries, we were almost done with our entree HOWEVER, they came back with a side of rice and large fries instead of the two fries that we initially ordered in the beginning. At this point, we just said to take back the rice which we never ordered because we were all very frustrated at this point. And, while we were eating, OBA employees kept looking/glaring at us which made us very uncomfortable so we finished our meal and asked for the check. We paid and tipped them but not once did they apologize or say sorry because all of us (5 people) were very clear about our order in the beginning, the waitress even repeated our orders correctly so I'm not exactly sure what went wrong but they should've apologized instead of being rude.

My go to spot for Mediterranean cuisine. Servers are always friendly. Food is off the chain. Prices are reasonable. Fast delivery as well. Opens late. Meter parking all around.

Oh My Goodness! Stop by for the Lamb! U will not be disappointed!

This place is the worst. I ordered food for delivery. I live literally 10 minutes away walking distance. The delivery took 2 hours. We threw the food in the trash after looking at it and cooked our own meal. I ve lived in forest hills for 15 years. This is by far the worst experience we ve ever had. I will never order from them again

On point flavors (be prepared for large plates of food)...friendly staff... Not particularly roomy, but the service and food quality is up to par with the ratings. I ordered the Mixed Grill and Tabouli side and tried my friend's Falafel side, which was more than we could have asked for. I would, without hesitation, recommend Oba!

My family went last night to try out what appeared to be nice restaurant in Forest Hills ... To our dismay upon entry - No A/C ... so on a hot summer day - that should have been our hint to walk out but we tried to turn lemons into lemonade ... The waitresses did try to keep our water filled but no ice water - it was lukewarm/tap water ...

The HIGHLIGHT of the night was the bread they served was quite tasty dipped in either the spicy tomato sauce / tzatziki / olive oil condiments ...

Sadly, the dinner was less than impressive - as a general rule when we see pink areas on the chicken kebobs - that is hint # 1 - NOT to eat it! The french fries came out cold ... While the price of the meal was typical (approx $16-18 per person) - the plates were filled more with salad than meat so you may still come out less than filled.

While the staff noticed our disappointment and was apologetic and I still left a 16% tip for effort - it may be a while before we decide to venture back ..

I went to OBA second time with my family. The staff was nice and polite. As soon as we finished a dish, they popped up and refilled that. The food was fantastic especially the Turkish Adana kebab and lahmacun. I did not see such a great taste at another similar places that I tried in the city. Good corner lot also for double side services. No sunburn no long waiting

Our go to Friday lunch place. The food is excellent, the prices are spot on, the restaurant is very clean, and the staff is attentive. Highly recommended.

Some friends took me there for lunch on Wednesday. There were at least nine pieces of chicken liver left over and I requested a carry out bag. Instead of bringing me the container and letting me pack it on my own they took the food in the back packed it for me. When I got it home and open it later, I found only four pieces buried under a lot of red onions, lettuce, and tomatoes.

Great food !!! Service is so so but I like the place so does my lady!!! And that's really what counts.

Shared the stuffed grape leaves they were good but then I took the lamb Gyro in home made bread, which was really delicious. I highly recomend

As a Turkish woman I was happy to see a Mediterranean restaurant in the neighborhood. Unfortunately the quality of restaurant is really low. First of all we ordered pide and lahmacun and the food was looking good until I saw a really long hair on my lahmacun. It was discussing I was expecting at least a sorry for it but they just took the food back. Another problem about this restaurant is their waiters. They don't even do their job properly just were walking around and not paying attention to customers. Lastly we wanted them to wrap rest of our food one of the waiter was trying to put it into container near kitchen and I was watching her idk who was he chef or somebody else he came near her and touch our food with his hands without gloves and throw our food out to container. This restaurant has really hygiene problems. I hope they can improve themselves and we ll have nice and high quality.

Excellent place for some authentic Mediterranean food.. Berkan & Seyran treat the customers with great joy and passion.. wishing them good luck

3.5 stars.
Excellent service. The side order of spinach something was extraordinary! The lamb chops, not bad, the Adana combo is what reduced the stars here. They were re-heated and dry. I could've waited for the freshly grilled ones. Really!

Their doner kebab was phenomenal. I could come here just for the doner.

Please don t eat at this place!!!!! I had a very bad experience. They don t even know what a gyro is. I order a gyro and they bring me rice with lamb. I had to google a picture of a gyro to the waitress, like FOR REAL. I will never go back to this place.

Food is fresh and delicious. Must have their fried calamari, falafel and hummus, complimentary pita, Steak Kabob, Mediterranean Salad with Gyro Chicken and very tasty hot sauce.

When you desire a great chicken gyro, this us definitely the place to go. I've gone here for a while as I don't eat beef or pork and they have the best Gyros ever. Love it...

Delicious greek style food. Service is excellent. Servers just leave you alone. They dont try to oversale anything. They just let you chill. Nice environment.

I was not expecting it to be this good, honestly. Best Turkish food I ve ever had. The meat and chicken were really juicy and flavorful. The staff was really nice and attentive, and the proportions were pretty large. Very pleasant experience!

The food here is great and reasonably priced. The hummus tastes great with the bread that they make! The staff is very friendly and hard working. I recommend going here

I d say that this place is mediocre. I got the chicken gyro platter which came with a round type of bread, rice, chicken, and salad. Overall everything was so greasy. The chicken was not flavorful, the rice was covered in grease and the salad was mostly cabbage and iceberg lettuce. I felt like the meal was expensive for what I got. I could have gone to a cart and gotten better meal. I recommend literally anywhere else.

Very good place with authentic Greek dishes and atmosphere. We went with mixed kebab, which goes for $29 and is enough for two people to share. All kinds of meat were perfectly cooked. Definitely recommend

Took over 20 mins to get two chicken shish kabobs. Waitresses seemed bored and inattentive. Do not recommend as the food was not even good.

While a bit tight (the dining area is smallish) the food was excellent and the service was prompt and curtious....overall a quite nice restaurant for a casual dinner or lunch

This is the one of the best Mediterranean / Turkish restaurants in Queens and a welcome addition to Forest Hills. Everything presened was super fresh and delicious. The service I have experienced here was phenomenal.

Weve been coming back for the gyros on homemade bread, delicious!

It's a recently opened new spot in the heart of Forest Hill happening street. Right across the famous Martha's bakery.

The food we ordered were the soup both chicken and lentil ( really enjoyed the lentil soup) and decided to also try out lukmachun lol I don't know if I'm spelling it the way they do but it's a bread mixed with dice meat and it's was delicious :)

For main course my wife wanted to order mix grill and although I felt I should share it with her she was feeling hungry and said I should order my own dish so I did. A homemade bread wrap with chicken adana in it ... honestly I did not like that one bit, the bread was hard and I could not enjoy it one bit.

My wife enjoyed part of her mix grill such as lamb chop and shawarma however she said her rice was too hard and should have been left in the cooker a little longer. She ended up throwing away the rice!

Last but not least , I don't understand why the owner will not place halal sign when he says this restaurant food is completely halal ??? My wife ate because she said the owner is Muslim and he said its halal however I just don't understand why they can't say it openly ???

Great food good vibes ....only thing is if u r sitting by where the hydrant is the idling cars exhaust will be a bothersome

OBA Mediterranean Gyro & Grill is popular and famous in the neighborhood. There is always a crowd when indoor dining was available.

We had their Family Combo: Chicken option for 2 and shared with a group of three. There were Chicken Mixed Grill, a side salad, a bowl of hummus & eggplant salad, 4 pieces of falafel, pita bread, rice and baklava.

We highly recommend to have their family combo with most of their signature options. Overall the food was amazingly delicious, especially the falafel and pita bread.

The falafel was well-cooked, moist inside and crunchy outside. The pita bread was soft and puffy with appetizing smell. It was super tasty with hummus and eggplant salad.

We placed our order via Uber Eats and it was delivered on time. We will definitely plan our next visit to try different options shortly.

Shawarma lamb pita sandwich is exelent. Hot sauce and white sauce make it decicious!
Reasonably priced compering to other shawarma places.
Recomending it!

Food was very delicious and service was outstanding! Keep up the good standard!

My favorite Turkish restaurant in city. You can bring your own drink. Try Lamb Gyro. And the mix appetizer.

Take home portions are way too small for what they charge!!

Nice addition. Much better than corfu. But, a little cheap with the meat on a gyro. But, it is very fresh and tasty.

Had to wait for a table big enough for our party but it was worth the wait.

Their pita sandwiches are delicious for a quick lunch (messy but so worth it). I recommend the steak or chicken kabob as the filler. They also deliver with Uber eats!

Perfectly charcoal grilled lamb chops. Meat was tender right off the bone. Gyro was also good.

I stopped in Friday before new year's
I wanted a gyro. Guy ended up ordering the plate
That comes with gyro meat, salad, a pile of red onions my favorite yummy white sauce.
Great staff. Very clean and new. Good layout.
Going to be my new crave spot.

Anything you get it's amazing here. I Love the appetizer sampler and the Mediterranean salad with shish kabab chicken.

Great food, could use a bit spices but overall great place...

The falafel with hummus is always a must have. And the chicken gyro actually comes in a plate which is great because the portions are huge .

And the bread they give you is freshly made and is great with the dipping sauces.

I think I'm too accustomed to having Turkish in turkey and in Sunnyside newyork, this felt too americanized ...maybe we got the wrong things. Who knows

OBA love this place ! Very delicious food and great service

Great food and excellent service! Our waiter was always checking in and was quick to bring out our food and any extras we asked for! The lamb and chicken combo is my go to! Their mixed appetizer plate is great! Their pita bread is not so much pita bread but 100% better than pita bread! So soft and it s complimentary as well! Really recommend for an afternoon light lunch or even heavy dinner!

Great service, food was delivered fast. Everything was delicious and not too expensive. Will definitely recommend and come back soon!
