" My first time at Istanbul Shawarma was great! I ordered a plate of mixed shawarma, and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was well-seasoned, and the hummus was smooth and creamy. One thing that surprised me was how generous the portions were compared to other shawarma places I've visited. I felt like I really got my money's worth, and I will absolutely be back. Can't wait to try more on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was delighted to try their pides after hearing many great things. I ordered the lahmacun, and while it was good, it wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped. On the bright side, the service was charming and attentive. I could see a lot of effort was put into preparing the food here, though I think they could enhance the spice levels. A pleasant experience but with room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I often stop by Istanbul Shawarma for lunch, and it never fails to impress me! Their combination platters are generous and overflowing with delicious meats and fresh veggies. I love the garlic sauce they serve on the side; it elevates the whole dish. The whole place is typically buzzing with customers, which just adds to the vibrant atmosphere. It's always a pleasure to visit and enjoy delicious food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Istanbul Shawarma feels like a treat! Their food has a freshness that makes it stand out. I think the shawarma plate is their real highlight; it’s tender and thoroughly seasoned. Service has always been friendly, and I love the simple yet delightful ambiance of the place. It’s nice to have a reliable spot for great Middle Eastern food. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first experience at Istanbul Shawarma, and while I was hoping for an amazing meal, the food was just alright. My shawarma was edible but did not have the flavor I'm used to from other Middle Eastern places. The atmosphere was nice, yet the service was somewhat slow. I guess it’s one of those places that needs more consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Istanbul Shawarma continues to impress me every time I visit. The service is always fair, but the food quality is consistently high, especially the chicken shawarma. The portions are generous too! I have never been disappointed with my meals here and always leave feeling satisfied. The friendly staff are a nice bonus as well. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather disappointing experience at Istanbul Shawarma. The service was polite, but the food did not match the high expectations set by the reviews. I found the shawarma to be a bit bland and the portion small. It's possible I just chose the wrong item, but I was hoping for more flavor. I might explore other options on my next visit.
