We attended with family and food was dry and very expensive. Also, they have changed 18% Tip by default. The meats were not properly cooked and not very authentic Tarkish Food, and definitely not value for money. Please check out first before going to the restaurant.

Excellent service, food, view

Had a wonderful experience here! My boyfriend and I wanted to dine in but he began to feel sick from too much sun in the day so we asked for takeout instead. They were very kind and brought him water while we waited. They could tell he was getting worse and we had to leave so they added in complementary bread and baklava! Also the spinach pies were delicious! Highly recommend!

We came and ordered lamb chops and chicken salad. The lamb chops came out and were served to me about 2 minutes after I made the order then I had to wait for them to cook the chicken and serve my wife because obviously the lamb chops were already cooked when I got there. Then the rice that came with the lamb chops was raw and crunchy like it needed to be cooked again or it has been sitting there all day and dried up. Either way for a $30 dish it was a very disappointing experience to say the least. Then we asked the waitress to bring a plastic bag to take the rest of the chicken salad and she brought a bag that had sauce inside of it. Before that she also dumped a dirty napkin from the table inside the chicken salad because she assumed we were done with it. All of this combined was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in Florida. The least I can do is share it with someone that might be thinking of going there. Lamb chops is a dish that should be cooked on the spot after you make the order not served right away because they had an already prepared dish that who knows how long it’s been sitting there.

This is the best food I’ve ever had at a restaurant. When I say that I am not exaggerating. This food will lead you full, energized, and satiated. The owner is so nice and hospitable. BEST FOOD IN USA.

1st time in here and everything looks great. So many restaurants to choose from with beautiful views. Tried just about every place on the boardwalk. Really enjoyed Istanbul, the server (sorry didn’t get her name) was extremely nice. The owner also come to our table and had small convo with us. Overall a great experience but a little on the pricey side. Non alcoholic mojito’s are to die for with fresh mint leaves!

Outstanding service by the store owner and his daughter. We were planning a return & were saddened they are closed Tuesday. Euro & Turkish salad were wonderful. The lamb rack's looked out of this world.

From the moment I walked in the owner had an attitude. I was waiting for more than 20 min for anyone to approach my table at all. When I approached the front with the menu asking to order to go, the owner told me that he is busy and cannot help me. Then he proceeded with an attitude and I had to get back to my sit and wait. He ended up coming to my table and was being rude with each question asked. He said you either wait or you can go with a very unpleasant demeanor. When I asked him about the falafel on the menus he responded with “he cannot help me or tell me because they serve it and that’s it”…. This is a very nice and beautiful place but the attitude ruins the experience badly. For tea, baklava, borekes I had to wait for more than an hour. I asked for the entire order to come out together and that didn’t happen as well. I understand being busy but this is a place of service and people would be so much more understanding if just things would be said with kindness. The get a two star because the food was nice.

This place is a delicious place for lunch and dinner right on the beach with an ocean view. I will always come back here as long as they’re open.

This was the worst experience in any restaurant. We asked for a glass of water and the answer was we don’t serve water you need to purchase a bottle and no glasses were presented. We ordered fish of the day, it was dry and tasted funny. I called the manager and explained that it was not edible. His was angry and told us that we cannot return it. There was no offering of another dish. The manager was rude and when I explained to him that we cannot eat it, he told us that if we did not pay he will call the police. I will not recommend this restaurant
