Cafe Istanbul

Cozy place, romantic. Delicious coffee + baklava. The staff is polite and attentive, sociable. One minus, a large percentage of tips. Overall, I recommend.

Original post 2023 - Not only is the food delicious and fairly authentic, but the staff is amazing, personable, attentive, and kind. On this last visit there was no outside seating due to the rain (which is where I usual prefer to sit), but the inside was perfectly good as well. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend this restaurant for a good, hearty meal. Update March 2025: I continue to go here (6yrs now) whenever I'm in the area. The food continues to be great. On this last visit I had the labne (Silky cheese dip crowned with olive oil, mint, and olives.), the döner beyti (Beef or Chicken Döner in lavash, with cheese, herbs, and Mediterranean sauce, served with yogurt.), the künefe (Cheese arranged between two layers of Kadayıf (shredded phyllo), cooked until golden, and soaked

I have been going to this restaurant for a couple years now. The previous menu was way better with good food portions and quality. They changed everything an started to serve smaller portions with a taste not as good as the last one. Really disappointed. The waitress charged us the tip without our consent and tried to argue about it. Avoid this place and save your money. Go somewhere else. Very disappointed with the service, food, quality & attitude towards a customer. This is my experience. The service and the food quality can be better.

Excellent food! Mouthwatering taste. Authentic Turkish food. We had beef bowl, gyro wrap & Turkish Kabab roll. The portion served was more than enough. Menu offers variety of options to choose from. Affordable pricing and foods are all Halal. The interior of the dining area is well decorated and kept very simple. I would highly recommend this place. All the staffs are very friendly &. Welcoming.

My waiter was so considerate. I just got coffee so no food reviews sorry. I sat outside Sunday morning around 10:15 and it wasn't too busy. I got a little treat with my Turkish coffee.
