We had a party of nine for a birthday lunch. I chose the restaurant because I wanted to eat family style. Our waiter recomemded the shepards salad and feta salad. Both delicious! The main dish was a meat platter that was phenomonal! We also ordered the calamai, octopus, zuchinni and egg plant also. All highly recomended. Great restaurant for a celebration! Would go back again.

I came here with my parents. We loved everything, the salads are delicious, the octopus is tender and the lamb chops, dessert. Everything. Service was slow, the staff is friendly but we had to continue flagging someone dow to come take our order. At the end I had to get up to pay my bill because none would come over to our table.

This was our first time visiting Cafe Istanbul. The appetizer Lahmacun was very tasty. We had the lamb shank and it was tender and flavorful. The drinks were delicious! I had the Spicy Peach Margarita and my husband had the Mediterranean Mule. We will definitely be back and bring our friends so they can make Cafe Istanbul one of their top choices for dining out.

A great place to have our Christmas meal when eating at our home was not an option. The staff was very welcoming. Upon leaving, they treated us like it was their honor to have visited them. The octopus was a great starter. The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection. Lahmacun was delicious, as was Adana kebab and stuffed chicken breast. We will visit again when we are in the city.

Risotto was fantastic. Everyone loved their dish. Beware they add on gratuity. I double tipped. I know it's not just them but I think they should point it out when they do it.
