Pourquoi ce sont des Perles rares

Chef de cuisine : Mom Chef Nili and her daughter Chef Ahu

D'après les éditeur·rices d'OpenTable : This three time Hale 'Aina Award-winning spot, one of the rare Turkish restaurants in all of Hawaii, comes from mother and daughter duo Nili Yildirim and Ahu Hettema, who recreate foods from their homeland. Go for the meze platters that look like works of art filled with dips, phyllo pastries, and sourdough pide and pair it with larger plates of local seafood and lamb chops all served in a a rustic space filled with colorful tagines and hanging herbs. Round out your meal with one of the exciting Mediterranean-inspired cocktails.

Eva was a lovely server! As always the food was presented in a timely manner. The quality of ingredients spoke for themselves in taste! It was my first time coming in for lunch service and I enjoyed it. A bit louder than expected but still an enjoyable lunch.

Maybe my expectations were too high for this restaurant, but one visit was enough for me. My friends and I, who went to dinner together, all felt the same way. Being from California, we might be spoiled by the many great Mediterranean restaurants there. Even small, unassuming restaurants back home have been far better than this one. That said, I did enjoy their cocktails—they were creative and delicious.

The food was very good. It took us some time to understand the menu items, but our server Waiea (sp?) was very helpful and patient in helping us decide what to order. We especially liked the French Toast and the appetizer platter. The brunch menu was very nice. The restaurant was a little bit noisy inside but the outside tables looked very pleasant. The restaurant sits on a busy road, but there is greenery between the restaurant and road, so it is not bothersome. We thought the parking might be a problem, but it turned out to be very easy to park. If you can't find parking in their building, the TJ Maxx garage is right next door and you can walk through an interior pathway to get directly to the restaurant. For those of us who have difficulty walking, I don't think you have to make any steps to get from those garages to the restaurant. We were very happy to find a restaurant so easily accessible. We are looking forward to our next trip already!

Istanbul Hawaii has a way of making familiar flavors feel new. The food is rooted in Turkish and Mediterranean traditions, but there’s always something unexpected—whether it’s the way spices are layered or how local ingredients bring out something deeper in each dish. The mezes are rich and complex, the grilled meats perfectly tender, and the housemade dondurma has a texture that’s hard to describe but impossible to forget. It’s a place where you can taste the thoughtfulness in every bite, where the balance of tradition and innovation comes through without trying too hard.

4/8 items we tried to order on the menu were not available, and instead of just listing everything that was unavailable, every time we regrouped with a new decision - only then were we notified that item was ALSO not available. Also why is it that every time I have a reservation here, I end up waiting a minimum of 15 minutes? What’s the point of making a reservation if the table is still occupied upon arrival…? Finally, seems like portions are getting smaller. No side salad included with the kebabs anymore.

We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. The food was excellent. There were quite a few things to choose from so instead of ordering 1 or 2 appetizers, we started with what amounted to a sampler platter containing dips including hummus, baba ganush, and few others, as well as spanakopita and su borek (cheses between layers of flaky pastry). There was a large pide (flatbread) accompanying this platter which was fresh from the oven. Everything on the platter was nicely seasoned but not too spicy. We asked the wait staff for suggestions as to how to not over-order, and they suggested splitting 2 additional entrees between the 3 of us. That worked out just great. They also said that the cauliflower shawarma normally comes with pide but that it would be easier to share if it came with rice and that change was spot on. The shawarma was nicely seasoned and the sauce complimented it well. The lamb shish kabob was equally well seasoned, and was accompanied by a nice tzatziki sauce. We had concert tickets and told the staff we had to be out by 6:30 and we were out by exactly 6:30. Ambient noise level was modest. We could carry on a conversation easily. Didn't ask my friends how their drinks were, but my chardonnay was very nice. Only negative was that we did ask for an extra half pide and never got it. By the time we realized it was not coming, we were all pretty full, so I didn't ask about it. Because we were time-limited, we didn't order dessert of coffee (to my disappointment as the baklava with pistachio ice cream looked delicious--maybe next time).

the food felt like a buffet line instead of something cooked just for me. the service was friendly and upbeat so it is a nice option for doing something other than asian food in hawaii.
