" I had a business lunch at Istanbul Restaurant recently, and I was very impressed. The service was quick, and the food was served hot and fresh. I tried their falafel and it was so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside—just how it should be. I must say the portion size for the price was fair, though I wish for a bit more quantity. Overall, it was a very satisfactory experience and I will plan another visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to visit Istanbul Restaurant after craving some beloved Turkish delicacies. The pide was fantastic! Beautifully baked with a crispy edge, I could have eaten the entire loaf. The ambiance felt genuine, with Turkish music playing softly in the background. As for the service, it was pleasant but slightly slower than I'd prefer during peak hours. Overall, great Turkish experience with exciting culinary options. I would definitely come back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family recently visited Istanbul Restaurant, and we really enjoyed our time. The atmosphere is authentically Turkish with beautiful decor. The staff made us feel at home, and the food was all fresh and delicious. I ordered the chicken as my main and it was juicy and well-prepared. The only downside was I felt like the kids' meals were a tad small. But overall, we had a fantastic meal. We’ll definitely return soon to try more dishes from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the buzz about Istanbul Restaurant, we finally decided to check it out. And wow, we were blown away! The mixed grill platter was a feast fit for kings! Everything was perfectly seasoned, grilled, and generous in size. The staff were kind and attentive without being too much. It truly felt like a culinary trip to Turkey without the pricey flights! I wouldn’t change a thing about our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Istanbul Restaurant was an experience that I won't forget anytime soon. I ordered the Doner kebab which was tender and flavorful, but honestly, I expected a bit more spice and richness to the dish like I experienced in Turkey. However, the staff was friendly, and attentive, and the place had a pleasant setting. Overall, it was a good meal, but I might try somewhere else for my next Turkish food craving. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Istanbul Restaurant was generally pleasant. We enjoyed the vibrant flavors of the dolmas and the lentil soup was comforting on a chilly evening. The service could have been quicker, but our server was attentive and friendly. The only drawback was the portion of the dolmas felt a bit small considering the price. Overall, a solid meal and a lovely atmosphere to enjoy with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food waited and I finally got to taste at Istanbul Restaurant. The mixed grill was rich in flavor, but I found some dishes a bit lacking in seasoning compared to what I'm accustomed to. The atmosphere felt relaxed but could use a touch more vibrancy. Service was on the slow side since it was busy, but the staff was lovely overall. They made me feel welcome, which counts for a lot!
