Istanbul Mediterranean Restaurant (Halal)

I tasted the best gyro I've ever had at Mediterranean Istanbul in late December 2025.  I walked here from the hotel at 1am with hunger pangs gnawing at me. I found this place by looking at "restaurants near me" on Google Maps. They were open late and had one of my favorite cuisines- so it was a no-brainer.  After almost a mile walk, I got in line behind 25 people.  The line moved decently quickly for the length, but it was well worth the wait.  Nearing the front of the line, the space is situated so customers will drool on themselves while being forced to watch the giant meat hunks rotating in all their glory whilst dripping juices.  When I reached the cash register, the cashier told me her favorite thing on the menu is the Turkish gyro with lamb, so that's what I got!  I was in heaven.

First time went to that place and it absolutely worth trying!! Food was fresh and delicious. They had long line but it was worth the wait. Once you order it doesn’t take that long. Hard to find a table to sit as place is always crowded. But it’s a must when in Vegas!!!! Got chicken shawarma bowl and a side of fries.

Was on the strip and looking for Halal food when we came across this Halal Turkish spot carry out spot. I ordered the Turkish Pita with lamb/beef sandwich; highly highly recommend getting this sandwich with the Turkish bread, house sauce and tziki. Fantastic taste and hit the spot. The portion of the sandwich was also really big. The location can be difficult to get to and being on the strip especially at night is an experience on its own ( often a pitiful one with creeps and lewd advertisements). I was informed they have a downtown location with more options, and will be checking them out there.

During thanksgiving break, we stayed at Horseshoe Hotel. In front of the entrance , there are many shops, and one of them is Istanbul Mediterranean Restaurant (Halal). It’s a popular place with a line of people waiting. We ordered the chicken doner wrap and the mixed doner rice bowl, and they were so tasty and fresh that we went back and ordered again on another night. A good spot to eat if you’re nearby.

A couple of my coworkers had good things to say about this place. I went here for dinner one night and I found the food to be pretty tasty. The beef and lamb wrap was filling and had plenty of fresh vegetables. Nothing soggy or past its prime. The chiktofe was a new experience. I found it had a spicy sauce and tasted like it had the consistency of mashed chickpeas. Still, it was pretty good. Overall, I was satisfied. I’d be willing to give this place another try.
