" The ambiance at Ishtar is charming, making it a good spot for dinner with friends. I particularly loved the lamb quzi. The servings are generous, and the service was prompt. However, I did find the prices a bit on the high side. Overall, it’s a must-try for Middle Eastern food lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although the food at Ishtar is incredibly delicious, I found the service to be a little slow during peak hours. I had the chicken shawarma which was flavorful but could use just a tad more seasoning. Nevertheless, the atmosphere made up for it, with warm Mediterranean decor and friendly staff ensuring an enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a fantastic time at Ishtar! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, and the food won my heart. The chicken tikka was packed with flavor and the lentil soup was satisfactory.

" I had lunch at Ishtar recently and was struck by the authenticity of the dishes. The spices were spot on and the meat was cooked to perfection.

" 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.
