Dedem Mediterranean & Turkish Cuisine 1755 Richmond Road, Staten Island, NY 10306

"Nice decor and good zabihah option on the island. Kunafe was really good (not overly sweet) but very concerned that they put the plastic lid on top of very hot kunafe. Yikes. Melted plastic. Lamb/beef doner usually runs out by 7ish so go early if you want that. Burger wasn't bad but can be better with healthier buns. Acili Ezme was really good as well."

"Tiny place, there is not too much room for large parties but definitely worth to come or order for takeout. I am Turkish myself and very picky about our food. It is important for me name of the food and what you serve must match. This restaurant honors the Turkish cuisine. We were party of 9 and tried almost everything on the menu. Loved them. People who work there also very nice. Restroom was clean!"

"Dedem Grill - A Stellar Experience! We recently hosted a dinner celebration for 30 people at Dedem Grill, and I can confidently say that Ibrahim and his team exceeded all our expectations. They brought our visions and dreams to life with impeccable service and attention to detail. The food at Dedem Grill is truly top-notch. Every dish, from the numerous appetizers to the numerous family style platters with variety meat, was presented beautifully and kept everyone entertained. The baklava was simply amazing – a perfect end to a fantastic meal. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, thanks to the visible preparation of meats on their grill and stand. Ibrahim and his team communicated effectively throughout the event, ensuring that every guest was well taken care of. The portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly affordable for the quality and quantity of food offered. I highly recommend Dedem Grill to anyone who loves Turkish cuisine(everything halal!). Whether you're dining casually or hosting a party, you won't be disappointed!"

"This must try new Mediterranean restaurant on Staten Island offers delicious grilled authentic Turkish style entrees, deserts and appetizers, excellent attentive service and is sparkling clean . There’s off street parking nearby & you may want to check out the other businesses on that corner or adjacent shopping strip of stores. We shared the huge mixed grill which was absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, succulent and so tasty with just the right amount of seasoning & cooked perfectly. The presentation was excellent. It arrived sizzling hot in a beautiful copper footed chafer style server. We love turkish food and know all the best Mediterranean turkish places in every city we visit, so trust me when I say this place is stellar amazing in the way they handle, cook & present every meal. They deserve 10 stars. Try them out before they get so popular you’ll need a reservation or will have lines outside the door! Yes they’re that good & only 2 months old at this location! Will be back next time we are in Staten Island (as this is our new favorite place on the island). Hopefully can try their delicious deserts if we’re not ready to burst! Balaclava, Kunefe, Sutlac, etc.."

"Amazing food, great service. Top notch restaurant. Everything tasted super fresh. Appetizers were super delicious. They’re very generous. We haven’t had a better Turkish experience and we have been to many."
