I had such a great meal and experience at Ishtar! All of the food was amazing (got the falafel sandwich, the hummus, and the dolma) and the hosts were so helpful and kind. Can't wait to go back. Kinda makes me wish I lived in Fargo!
I’m not from Fargo, only here for the weekend, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a Mediterranean restaurant downtown. The food and service here was absolutely top shelf. We split the falafel, beef shawarma, and baba ganoush and each of the dishes was done perfectly. I wish I could bring them back home with me. If you like Mediterranean food you’d be remiss to pass this place up.
I come here three times a week; I've known the chef for ten years, starting as a cook at another restaurant, and now he's opened his own, and I'm happy for him. I've traveled all over the world and in the United States, and I've eaten at numerous Mediterranean/Greek restaurants, but he is by far the only one who comes near to or equals my mother's cooking. Ameen (the chef) is a fantastic cook and a kind person.
The gentleman working today was amazing! Somebody had grabbed my order by mistake so he went through the trouble of making it fresh for us at closing time and served it for dine in on plates because it was too windy to eat outside! He also made food For another gal that came in just before closing as well. Excellent customer service on top of amazing food! Second time here and was very pleased with the food both times. I don’t do reviews usually but had to share this praise!
Ordered the shawarma plate online. It tasted amazing and authentic. I would definitely recommend to go here for Mediterranean food.Also, the staff was more than just professional; they welcomed us in, let us stay in and eat past closing, and tried their best to make it a positive experience. 10/10
