“Wonderful calming atmosphere, friendly service and excellent food.”

Came here for a meal with a friend and had a wonderful experience! We ordered the lamb shish and chicken shish, and both were absolutely delicious—perfectly charred and crispy on the outside, yet incredibly tender and juicy on the inside. The pita bread was also fresh and tasty. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, and has a great atmosphere that’s perfect for sitting back and chatting. To top it off, the owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful surprise in downtown New Haven! While walking around, I stumbled upon Midpoint Turkish Restsurant and decided to stop in — and I’m so glad I did. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The falafel was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside. The mücver (zucchini fritters) were light and aromatic, and the baba ganoush had that delicious smoky depth that makes it truly authentic. Pairing it all with Turkish wine made the experience even more special. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the whole meal felt both comforting and refine

Good: Service, atmosphere, and location are great and invite you in. Very nice for a cosy conversation. Food: got the mixed platter, meat was cooked well but no sauce or seasonings in anything including salt so was disappointed for $45 entree. “Mid” at best. Real Turkish tea not available. The manti was pretty good. Hummus was fine, decent quality as well. If you want a good looking place with okay food, it’s “fine”. You’ll come hungry and leave okay. I’d like to see the place improve on meat seasonings and options. Leaves much to be desired.

We went there on a Tuesday late afternoon and we were a party of 6 and with a baby. They only have indoor seatings. The food was good and with regular portions. Service was attentive. I highly recommend their chicken shish.
