" I was recommended to visit Istanbul by a colleague, and I was not disappointed! The food was aromatic and flavorful, directly reflecting its roots from Turkish cuisine.

" An excellent choice for authentic Turkish food! The atmosphere was filled with friendly chatter and the aromas were enticing. We began with hummus and pita, and I chose the vegetarian plate as my main. Everything was fresh and delicious. However, I found the baklava a little too sweet for my taste, but my dining partner loved it. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time trying Turkish food, and I must say I was impressed! The flavors were vibrant; I tried the lentil soup to start and the beef kabobs as my main. The portions were more than generous. The staff was accommodating and more than happy to answer any questions. I can’t wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Istanbul has become my top recommendation for Mediterranean food. The diversity of the menu is impressive; they truly cater to everyone! I ordered the vegetarian platter; it was bursting with flavor. The baba ghanoush was exceptional! Staff was polite, though it took a little while for our food to arrive due to the busy evening. Overall a wonderful experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting Tucson, I stumbled upon Istanbul, and I am so glad I did! The food was authentic and flavorful. I tried the dolma and lamb kebabs, which were both delicious. The service was prompt and the staff was genuinely friendly. My only critique would be the noise level; it can get a bit loud during dinner hours, so I’d recommend going early if you prefer a quieter experience. " (*Curated Review*)
