" I recently visited Ishtar for the first time and it met my high expectations! The family platter was generous and the flavors were beautifully balanced. My favorite was the chicken kabab, which was tender and juicy. The only downside was the loud music during dinner. Aside from that, it was a memorable night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chance to try Ishtar for a birthday celebration. The ambiance was festive, and the food delicious! The kababs were juicy, and the traditional tea service was a delightful surprise. However, the side dishes could use a bit more seasoning. Overall, a great night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ishtar is always a treat! We tried their family platter yesterday and it was more food than we could handle. Absolutely stuffed! From the fresh salads to the aromatic rice, everything felt homemade. The service was prompt, and we loved the tea ritual at the end. A must-visit for lovers of Middle Eastern cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely amazing experience! The authentic vibes and scrumptious Iraqi food should not be missed. The mixed grill was enough for my family of five, and we even had leftovers! Our server was super friendly and made sure our tea was topped off regularly. I can't recommend Ishtar enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tend to visit Ishtar regularly, and they never fail to impress me. The food is authentic and made with meticulous attention to detail. This time, however, the service felt a bit rushed. I hope they maintain their quality, as I love their offerings. If you haven't been yet, give it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful dining experience at Ishtar! The authentic Iraqi dishes blew my mind—try the lentil soup, it's to die for! The service was prompt and friendly, making sure we were well taken care of. The ambiance is cozy but lively, with just the right amount of buzz. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a gem! The authentic flavors and cozy atmosphere make it a top choice for Middle Eastern food lovers. I highly recommend the baba ganoush as it pairs wonderfully with their warm pita. Service was attentive, though we did wait longer for our main courses. Overall, a delightful experience! " (*Curated Review*)
