Unfortunately this place is not open during the posted business hours on here. We came around 11:30 AM on Wednesday to grab some food from white people say is the best gyro in the city, but it wasn’t open! I would definitely not come to this area solely for the restaurant as you shouldn’t rely on their times.Luckily there are so many good restaurants right around here, so we didn’t miss out on anything. I recommend Burchak Pide or Fuel as 2 other options.

My cousin has been raving about this spot since it’s opened. I figured I needed to take a break from meat but it’s been especially difficult because I love kebabs. Nefista was amazing! The chick peas were so soft and thoroughly cooked and deliciously seasoned. The wrap was delicious as well. I loved all the toppings especially the pickle. Will definitely return.

Good food + the best customer service. The man (I never caught his name unfortunately) was insanely kind and even let me and my SO sample some vegan meat and assured us that we’ll have the best gyros ever when he overheard me being disappointed by another gyro place in the area. He was right!!! They were soooo good and pretty cheap. Definitely coming back

As I was looking for a frozen yogurt place with my daughter, Nefista Vegan Kofte immediately caught my eye. I just had to try this food since I never heard of vegan Turkish cuisine. I entered the location. It was clean, organized, and well-lit. The lady working there was very pleasant. I asked her what kind of food this place served and she gave me a thorough explanation. Cig kofte is a very old traditional Turkish food that was originally made with raw meat. She explained that since restaurants in Turkey were not able to prepare this dish properly, many people who ate this dish got sick. Eventually a decision was made throughout Turkey to formulate an all-vegan version of this popular dish. I ordered a wrap and observed her prepare it for me. She smeared the vegan kofteh throughout the entire wrap, then added lettuce, tomatoes, and other chopped vegetables to it. The actual kofte is made of bulgur wheat, Anatolian red peppers, chili peppers, walnuts, tomato paste, pepper paste, and several other all natural ingredients. When she was done preparing it, she included a small container of pomegranate sauce to add to the wrap. Eating the wrap was heavenly. With every bite I took, an explosion of spicy flavors hit my taste buds. Texture-wise, there was a combination of eating the soft salad inside surrounded by the crunchy, spicy kofte throughout. Nefista Vegan Kofteh is now a franchise with several stores throughout NY and NJ. I am glad that Brooklyn now has one, and its in Sheepshead Bay, only a 10-minute drive from my house. The place offers their signature vegan kofte in sushi form, taco form (soft or crunchy), and in a lettuce wrap as well. For dessert, the place also serves baklava which Id like to try on my next visit. To all my vegan friends both near and far: you MUST check this place out, for tasting is believing!

I love Çiğ Köfte. I didnt have a store that makes Çiğ Köfte near my house. Then I found out about Nefista and I fell in love with Çiğ Köfte even more. It is a delicious Turkish food and it is vegan. So its a perfect food for almost anyone.I would strongly recommend you to come try it.

Have been a huge nefista fan and regular customer since the place opened up and really did love the place/food. They’re service and consistency, however, has become sloppy and honestly not too good. Just ordered some chickpea bowls from Uber eats with specific topping requests that were completely ignored as they clearly put whatever toppings they wanted to/had in stock. I requested the sauces be sent on the side but, instead, received no sauces at all. This isn’t the first time they’ve dropped the ball as there have been quite a few times I called to order this same chickpea bowl, yet they were out of chickpeas. How can you be out of one of the main ingredients on your menu? They’ve skimped with portion size and overall quality. Not too sure if I’ll be ordering again any time soon. Super disappointed.
