I had an amazing experience at Salda, and it’s easily one of the best dining spots I’ve been to recently in the island. The service was outstanding, with a special mention to Ibrahim, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. His professionalism, warm hospitality, and attention to detail truly made our visit memorable. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish prepared to perfection. You can tell they use fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the flavors were rich and authentic. They have a homemade Turkish tea also which I can’t do my desserts without. The atmosphere was fantastic, with a cozy yet elegant setting that made for a great dining experience. The location is also lovely, offering a nice ambiance that adds to the charm of the place. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone in the area.

Salda Mediterranean Cuisine is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere. The food is nothing short of amazing—fresh, flavorful, and authentically Mediterranean. The hummus is creamy and perfectly seasoned, the kebabs are juicy and tender, and the baklava is the perfect sweet finish. The portions are generous, and the quality is top-notch. Whether you’re dining in or ordering takeout, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Mediterranean food!

Absolutely incredible Turkish Cuisine! The chicken chops were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and a must-try. For dessert, I had Turkish coffee, rice pudding, and tea, and every bite (and sip) was an experience on its own. The flavors were authentic, the atmosphere was warm, and the service was excellent. If you’re looking for delicious Mediterranean and Turkish cuisine in Staten Island, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. The food was bursting with authentic flavors, and every bite was a delight. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. I especially loved the Acılı Ezme and the Lamb Shank—cooked to perfection! As a bonus, they even treated us to a complimentary dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending to our meal. The ambiance is cozy, clean, and beautifully designed, making it an ideal spot for a family dinner or a special night out. Highly recommend this gem of a place! Can't wait to come back and explore more of their delicious menu. Thank you, Salda, for bringing a piece of Turkey to Staten Island!

I can’t believe how time flies, I got too busy with school & life. Sorry for being very late ! After the amazing experience I had at this place I feel bad for being this late posting a review. But I want everyone to come & try their food . You will not regret it, and the price is much affordable then other places in Staten Island. And the restaurant is very clean , even the restroom was very clean . Highly appreciated! I wanted to try something different that day lol! My friend was making fun of me for trying a different item rather than Turkish food . I was just curious to see or taste how they cook pasta ! And I have no regrets, it was very good . My friend tried their chicken Adana kabab & she loved it . They also gave us tea & said it was on the house ! Which melted my heart ! As a Bangladeshi I will always appreciate a good cup of tea any time of the day ! Thank you so much for an excellent service, we will definitely be back . Even tho it’s really far from where I live . But for yummy food I will always travel far if I have to .

I had order many times and dined in for the first time, food is excellent as well as the service we had a few mixed meze (labneh,ezme and babaganoush)served with fresh Turkish bread olives and dips ...mains were Lamb Adana, chicken shish ,Cheeseburger that had caramelized and raw onions! After our meal we were given desserts (Kazan dibi and almond pudding)and Turkish tea on the house served in charming glass tea cups. Service reminded me of the old Seaside on father Cap!
