Great halal Turkish restaurant to come with others. The atmosphere is very warm and lovely. It is a big restaurant with plenty of space. The food was filled with flavor. The Adana Kebab and Salmon were well crafted dishes and beautifully prepared.

Samiha R.

Opera is one of the better Turkish restaurants in New York. It tastes very authentic with fresh bread and a great selection of Turkish kebabs. We shared a few dishes and loved it. The atmosphere is also authentic and colorful.
