Along with the food being amazing, the portions were very big. Took most of it home for another night. The mixed appetizer tray was a wonderful selection of various things. The Turkish Dumplings were wonderful. Try something different.

We have tried lentil soup. Taste was okay. Lamb kebab served with rice and salad. Rice tastes very good. Lamb was hard to eat. We asked lamb need to well cooked. I don't know if that's the reason. Tried salmon grill plate. It was delicious.

Was craving some Mediterranean food so I had to come to Istanbul Mediterranean Cuisine & Bar with some friends.The Baklava is

Excellent restaurant! Delicious, authentic Mediterranean food. We loved everything we tried including the hummus and dolma appetizers served on wooden boards, main dishes with beef and lamb and yummy baklava for dessert. Very good service. Nice atmosphere. I recommend it and we will be back.

Great place to have Lamb Chops. Cooked perfectly. The service is great. The restaurant does not have a real Turkish identity, the decor its like a mix of a Dinners and a Turkish restaurant. In general, its a good place to have lunch. Also, the Turkish coffee is good but missing the cardamon.

Wonderful food & service, with a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Hello, I visited two days ago with a friend. My lamb sandwich was a disaster. Meat was uncooked to the extent of having a bad raw feel. I didn’t complain at the restaurant because I had picked the place and had convinced my friend to meet me there. I brought the leftovers home and found a hair in the salad. I’m attaching pictures of the raw meat and hair. I’m very disappointed.

Had the Low Carb Spicy Chicken Kabob plate (see photo). Absolutely delicious! Large flavorful portions and really good service.

This place has been consistently good since they first opened right before Covid hit, and I'm glad they seem to be doing well. Prices have gone up (but where have they not? Not their fault) but I got 3 full meals out of my $18 entree so that breaks down to quite reasonable. Nice servers, food is fresh and delicious, nice menu with lots of options. You should try them.

Tried this place for the first time. Really impressed. Lovely outdoor patio, kind service and yummy food. Portions are nice and large. Rice was cooked perfectly and meet was nicely seasoned. Beef was tender. Try the creamy ayran yogurt drink ?We’ll be back!
