" The wait was a little longer than expected, but it was more than worth it in the end. My family and I enjoyed our dinner at Istanbul Grill tremendously. The chicken kebabs were very tender and tasty. The restaurant has a nice family vibe that makes you feel at home. I'd definitely visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always on the lookout for authentic Mediterranean food, and Istanbul Grill did not disappoint! Each bite transported me to Turkey. I had the lentil soup as a starter, which was hearty and filled with flavor. The chicken kebabs were moist but could have used a bit more seasoning. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the place was clean and comfortably decorated. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a restaurant with a local flair, and Istanbul Grill was just perfect! The lamb shank melted in my mouth, and the flavors transported me to a vibrant marketplace in Turkey. The service was attentive, but I noticed our drink orders were forgotten. I am looking forward to my next visit; I will ask a different server next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down the best dolmas I have ever had! They paired perfectly with the warm bread served. The ambiance is cozy but can get busy during dinner rush. Sometimes it’s a bit loud, but the energy is fun. I appreciated the quick service as well, we hardly waited for our food. Overall a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations coming here, and unfortunately, it fell short. The lamb in my mixed grill was overcooked, which was quite disappointing. The flavor was there, but the texture was lacking. On the brighter side, the waiter was very attentive and check on us multiple times. Perhaps I'll give it another shot; I'll ask for my meat to be grilled less. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, wonderful warm atmosphere, and great service! The hummus was simply divine—this was some of the best I’ve had! The combination plate allowed us to share and try a variety of dishes. I highly recommend the baklava for dessert; it was sweet and flaky, just as it should be. If every restaurant was like this, dining out would be a joy. I will make sure to return soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited with a group and we all enjoyed our meals. I especially liked the variety in the menu. I chose the Istanbul special, which featured a medley of kebabs. Each type of meat was flavorful and well cooked. The atmosphere was lively, creating a friendly dining experience. However, dessert options were a bit limited; I'd love to see more Turkish sweets!
