" I’m a frequent visitor of Istanbul Grill. It's hard to resist their delicious Turkish coffee and warm, fluffy pita with dips. The lentil soup is my go-to starter, and let me tell you, it never disappoints! Each experience has been lovely and full of great conversations with the staff, who are very kind. Overall, I'd say it's perfect for a casual dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Istanbul Grill expecting a great meal from all the reviews, and while the food was pretty good, it didn't exceed my expectations like I hoped. The service was okay, nothing spectacular, but could be improved. I'd consider coming back, but it might take a little push. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in Turkey for several years, I can say that Istanbul Grill truly captures the essence of Turkish cuisine. The flavors of their hummus, the texture of the bread, and the variety of dishes offered reminded me of my time there. Not only was the food outstanding, but I was also pleased with the attentive service. While the restaurant might be small, it feels family-run and intimate. I would absolutely recommend this gem to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Istanbul Grill after reading all the fantastic reviews, and I must admit it lived up to its reputation! The food was amazing—I had the eggplant dish and it blew my mind! I’ve tried countless Mediterranean spots, but the freshness and flavor here are unmatched. The owner is incredibly nice too, and you can tell they’re passionate about their food. This is one restaurant I will definitely return to whenever I’m in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Istanbul Grill based on a friend's recommendation and I was not let down! The standards here are high, from food quality to service. The lentil soup was savory and wholesome. I couldn't get enough of the lamb kebabs—they had just the right seasoning. However, I did feel the seating was a bit tight. Overall, a satisfying experience, and I can’t wait to return!

" What a delightful surprise! My family stumbled upon Istanbul Grill while passing through Fairfield, and we couldn't be happier. The lamb kebabs were perfectly seasoned and melted in my mouth. We also ordered the stuffed grape leaves, which were a hit among the kids. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, making it the ideal stop for a family meal. Highly recommend this place if you're craving authentic Turkish food! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited Istanbul Grill for the second time last week, and honestly, it never disappoints. The authenticity of the Turkish food is what draws us back every time. The falafel was freshly made, with a crispy exterior and soft inside. We all loved the baba ganoush as well. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, perfect for catching up with friends. You can feel the warmth from the staff, which is a significant plus. We can't wait for our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
