We had a great time!. We had ladies night at Cafe Istanbul. The service was great, the food was good, and we had a great time.
A local GEM, yet of distant origin, LOVE IT.. I, for one, am a major carnivore….so naturally I ordered their COMBO KEBAB, which is basically an avalanche of perfectly seasoned grilled MEATS (Chicken, and Lamb-Beef mix). These guys are more generous than generous… I mean the portions are HUGE. At times it felt like a battle from MAN VS FOOD. My order came with rice, vegetables, lettuce, and an outrageously delicious BREAD (garnished with herbs and olive oil). As for service, I had a courteous young gentleman as my server. I took me few attempt to get his name, primarily because of the loud BD-party crowd next table. His name was Berem. I later learned that he was the Manager. In Short, the FOOD WAS TO DIE FOR! and the people were GREAT.
Best Food Ever. Wish there was a Cafe Istanbul in Gwinnett. Best food I have ever eaten. Love it. 🙂
Bad food, poor service, good atmosphere. The lamb dish I got was very dry, literally swimming in butter, yet hardly any seasoning or flavor. My husband’s food was a little better than mine but still dry. The service was very slow even though we ate early when the restaurant only had a few guests. Come for a drink, bellydancing, and hooka but make sure and eat somewhere else.
Turkish before Turkey Day. My wife and I have witnessed the crowds of people going to this place every weekend for years – We had a ScoutMob coupon, so we took the plunge this evening. Pros – great service and good food (not great but good enough). Cons – only one belly dancer! The ambiance is nice. The main dining is room is dark, and has low tables with pillows to sit on. There was only one belly dancer and frankly, she was kind of big. She only performed for about 10 minutes out of the hour and a half we were there. Also, there were no female servers (which is kind of weird in my book). Would I go back?? Probably but not for a long time. It looked like a fun place to go with a group of friends – also, they have hookas for smoking flavored tobacco……and not the wacky kind!
Worst experience ever. All of the food was cold, tabbouleh salad was horrible- tasted like cereal or something, kofte was raw, gyro was dry, kebab was tasteless and cold, ayran was milky and it should be made with yogurt not milk. Prices were too high as well. 🙁
Terrible food but excellent atmosphere. We go here atleast once a week. during the weekend is the best time. better off eating at olive Bistro if you want mid-east food. the food at cafe istanbul is the worst.
