    Everything was excellent. The food is as good as or better than in restaurants in Turkey. The appetizers are very tasty and good portions. The main courses are great. The service is very friendly. It’s a well run place, I highly recommend for authentic Turkish food.

    A nice local restaurant for a casual date night with my spouse. The service was very good and attentive. Food was tasty. My doner kabob had too much cooking oil on it but was still tasty.

    The food was just “OK”. Nice service, but nothing special. Large portions, but just average taste. Atmosphere could be improved by dimmer lighting and more inviting bar area.

    Our server Omar made our night! Very courteous and cheerful! Delicious food —offering a tongue and such utensils could make it easier to manage the table.

    DELICIOUS food and friendly, reliable service!! The atmosphere is relaxed and the decor is pretty. The menu is varied and everything we have tried is always great - from soups and appetizers to main dishes to desserts. Portions are generous which is good because we always want the rest of our table to taste how wonderful our plate is! And - notwithstanding how popular it is - the acoustics are such that we can always hear one another. We love Istanbul Grill!
