Opera Cafe Lounge

Had a Great Turkish breakfast in a cozy, welcoming place. A true Turkish hospitality! The food was fresh, flavorful, and served as a generous breakfast spread that felt truly authentic. Chef Serkan clearly puts care into every dish, everything tasted so delicious and fresh made by him. Suleyman was also excellent: friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed with all smiles. Overall, a really enjoyable breakfast and a spot I’d happily recommend to anyone craving a proper Turkish morning meal.

Opera Cafe Lounge has a warm, cozy vibe and offers a delicious taste of Turkish cuisine. I ordered the pancakes, and they were absolutely delicious—fluffy, chocolatey, and perfectly balanced. They come topped with fresh fruit, which added a refreshing contrast and paired beautifully with the sweetness of the pancakes. The dish is also served with ice cream (they offer different flavors), which was rich, creamy, and indulgent without being overwhelming. To drink, I had a latte that was strong, aromatic, and exactly what you want with a sweet breakfast. If you’re visiting Staten Island, this is definitely a spot you shouldn’t miss. Their menu offers a wide variety of dishes, and I’m already looking forward to coming back to try more.

We weren’t exactly sure what kind of restaurant it was but took a chance and went. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was so beautiful. The manager took time to speak with us while we were waiting for our food and when we were leaving. We ordered hummus and balloon bread ( light and airy pita) as appetizer. Delicious. Also ordered fresh beet salad , lamb kebabs and chicken piccata. All were so delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant

Stopped by after my daughter’s basketball game. Got a warm welcome and even got the eat I requested. I was in full view of the oven where they make the hot bread that’s to die for. I had the virgin mojito. Refreshing and not too sweet. My dinner choice. The lamb chops opted for fries and not rice. They were cooked to perfection and seasoned well. My husband had the Mix Pide. A thick-crust pide loaded with chopped beef, Turkish beef sausage, vegetables, mozzarella cheese and spices. The portions are generous and the staff all work well together and they check in frequently. The best part it does not break the bank. This was my 3rd time and they have been consistent each time. Added to rotation.

We ordered the menemen (veggie scrambled eggs), golzeme (stuffed flatbread), chicken Adana (sausage with salad and bulgur), Veggie and cheese pide (bread boat), and Crime of Passion teapot. The food was delicious, tea was very mild and herbal, and filling without feeling uncomfortable. I only regret not buying the kanefeh (because my stomach was too full :) )The environment is gorgeous and staff were pleasant and accommodating. We had a great experience here, would highly recommend!
