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.

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.

The food was exceptional and the service was quick. I think the experience would have been even better if it wasn't Christmas and they were waiting to turn our table. Also, there was an 18% service charge on the bill and verified that was the tip; I was not expecting it on a table for two. Regardless, we can't wait to come back and try the Sunday Brunch!

So happy to have found CAFE ISTANBUL! The pade was delicious as was the chef’s mixed grill. The wine our waitress suggested was excellent! Friendly staff, great food, nice neighborhood — we’ll be back!
