Lezzet in Smithtown brings a true taste of Turkey and the Mediterranean to Long Island with its authentic dishes, warm hospitality, and inviting ambiance. From the moment you enter, you’re welcomed by rich aromas of grilled meats and spices, rustic wood accents, and colorful Turkish decor that transports you straight to Istanbul.

The menu is packed with traditional favorites and fresh flavors. Start with the Mixed Appetizer Platter, featuring creamy hummus, smoky baba ganoush, tangy ezme, and cool cacik (Turkish tzatziki), served with warm, fluffy pita bread – perfect for sharing. Their Sigara Borek, crispy phyllo rolls filled with feta and herbs, are light yet flavorful.

For mains, the Adana Kebab is a standout. Ground lamb seasoned with Turkish spices is grilled to juicy perfection and served with fragrant rice, grilled vegetables, and fresh salad. Another popular choice is their Chicken Shish Kebab, marinated overnight for tenderness and char-grilled to deliver smoky, succulent bites.

Seafood lovers should try the Grilled Branzino, simply prepared with olive oil and lemon to let its natural flavors shine. Vegetarian diners aren’t left out – the Vegetable Casserole with zucchini, eggplant, peppers, and tomatoes simmered in tomato sauce is hearty and satisfying.

Pair your meal with a glass of Turkish Yakut red wine or their refreshing Ayran, a traditional yogurt drink that perfectly complements grilled meats and spicy dishes. End your meal with their sweet, flaky Baklava, layered with pistachios and soaked in light syrup, or their creamy Rice Pudding for a comforting finish.

The ambiance at Lezzet is cozy and elegant, with intricate Turkish lamps casting a warm glow and soft music enhancing the dining experience.
