I wish I had read the reviews before I went there. Not much to say rude people, bad service,bad food.They should be closed for bussiness. Cons: rude!!!! more

Pros: Food, Price, Location Cons: no Outdoor seating more

I arrived at Sip Sak last Saturday at 8:30pm. We were seated right away, the waiter couldn't have been friendlier and attentive (he even gave me a free beer and baklava) and the food was fantastic. We were left to enjoy our beers and baklava after dinner, not at all rushed. So I'm not sure why some people had such a bad experience at Sip Sak but I'd recommend it to anyone and am looking forward to going back again very soon. Pros: Food esp. the baklava, Service, Good Turkish beer more

I wish I had read the reviews on Citysearch before trying to order from this horrible place. I had the same experience with the rude service. First they tell me that they will deliver to my office if I order $40 worth of food. Then, after I organize lunch orders for 9 people, with an order of well over $40, they tell me that they will only deliver to me if I pay for their cab- during the lunch rush in the rain. When I said I would not pay for their cab, they refused to take my order. I will never do business with them again after that unprofessional behavior. I don't care how good the food is- this is New York City- there is ALWAYS another option. Cons: No Service more

I have never written a bad review in my life. As a former waiter, I understand how the occasional forgetful server, cold dish, etc. can happen. However, this warrants an exception. The owner is unbelievably rude and obnoxious to customers. I consider myself a calm easy person, yet somehow, when trying to place an order, I had him YELLING at me. I have no clue as to why this happened. Apparently some sort of miscommunication took place, and all I know is that I was the receiving end of some appalling behavior. The owner is horrible, irrational and emotionally abusive. I walked out so I never got to try the food. Cons: horrible service more

Not bad of a place. It was very hot inside which was a little uncomfortable. The apps seemed to be pre made as right after we ordered they were at our table instantly. The food was pretty tastey with some nice spice to it. It's a good place to grab a quick bit to eat. Nothin out of this world but yet nothing terrible. more

The service was so awful to us, we didn't make it through the meal! The story, which I swear is true: my girlfriend ordered a salad with no dressing and I ordered the okra with lamb. He didn't write down the order. When it comes, not only is there barely any meat in my dish, but my girlfriend's salad has dressing! When we tell the woman who brought the meal, she says that she was listening and we didnt say no dressing (she did!). She started arguing with us! The waiter comes over and says You changed the salad and made us throw it out! Thanks! I was so perturbed that I asked for the check. He said Dont Pay! Get Out! I asked what happened to customer service and he said Youre not a customer, youre a disease! Can you believe this? I was appalled. WILL NEVER GO BACK! Cons: TERRIBLE SERVICE, RUDE and MEAN, ABRUPT more

Sip Sak is a great place for reasonably priced and delicious Turkish food. The BYOB policy makes the food quite a steal. My favorite dishes are the hummus appetizer and the baked lamb eggplant. I've never had a problem with the service -- the waiters have always been nice and friendly -- but I do not like their policy for take home leftovers. Usually, doggy bags are filled in the kitchen but here they bring the container over and ask you to do it yourself! Pros: Inexpensive, Food more

Sip Sak is not the place to go for ambience or romance. You go for the great food at good prices (being that it is NYC prices). Yes, it can get crowded and you'll wait for a table. Yes, the owner can get hot-blooded (though I've never had a problem). Yes, they at times appear to be short staffed (though the staff have always been friendly, even with the owner yelling at them). But the food is good and worth it! Just don't expect the formal 2 hour dinner/5 star restaurant treatment, though you wouldn't be able to tell (and shouldn't care) by the delicious food and good portions. Pros: yummy food, priced reasonable, take-out Cons: when busy, wait more

If you're going to a restaurant, cafe, etc., you want a place that you feel comfortable. This place nothing to say to service people, but the owner is walking around, yelling at the people working for him and even sometimes yelling at customer!!! Rude service!Their food is not the best, but the owner's behavior zeros everything...! more

I have ordered take out from Sip Sak at least once a week for quite a while, but decided to dine in the restaurant for the first time with a client for a lunch meeting. The service was very rushed and as we were finishing our drinks and paying our bill, the owner asked us to leave so he could seat other people at our table. He was not apologetic and did not even let us finish our drinks. It seems that diners are only allowed 30 minutes from the time they are seated to when they are kicked out. Definitely not a place to have a business meeting or to bring clients. Pros: Price Cons: Rude service, Rushed lunch more

It's been several months since I went here, but hopefully the BYOB policy remains. The waitress we had was incredibly friendly. The food was solid and reasonably priced. The only bad thing is that they don't have a lunch menu, so a cheap dinner will be an expensive lunch, depending on what time of day you go there. Pros: Friendly service, Good cheap food, BYOB Cons: no lunch special more
