" I recently tried the Istanbul Combination platter, and it was an amazing experience! The variety of meats and sides allowed us to sample so many different flavors, and everything was cooked well. The ambience of the restaurant felt cozy, and the staff was accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend getting the baklava as well; it's the best I've had outside of Turkey! Can't wait to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" To celebrate my birthday, I decided to visit Istanbulfoodlovers, but the experience was unfortunately not what I had hoped for. The food came out cold, and the flavors were not as vibrant as I expected. The portions also felt inadequate for the price. Service was friendly, but even that could not save the lack of quality in the dishes. I’d like to give it another chance, but this visit was disappointing. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Istanbulfoodlovers was a delightful experience. The moment we walked in, we were captivated by the welcoming ambiance filled with the fragrant aromas of Turkish spices. I ordered the Adana kebab, and it was cooked to perfection - tender and bursting with flavor. Service was attentive yet unintrusive, making the meal even more enjoyable. I particularly loved the refreshing Ayran that paired perfectly with my meal. Will definitely be back for the baklava next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner surprised me with a visit to Istanbulfoodlovers, and we had a lovely dinner! The ambiance was romantic and relaxed, creating a perfect setting for our evening. I absolutely loved the kofta, which was flavorful and juicy. The service was great; our server was very personable and checked in often. My only criticism is that the dessert portions were small, but the baklava tasted divine. Overall, a memorable dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Positive experiences only at Istanbulfoodlovers! The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff, and the cozy decor made us feel at home. We ordered several dishes, including the Istanbul Combination that was generously filled with various meats and sides. It was a great choice for sampling multiple flavors. Everything was well seasoned, and the presentation was lovely, particularly the baklava, which was a perfect sweet ending. We truly felt like we were eating in Turkey! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Istanbulfoodlovers and was quite excited about the experience. The food was mostly good, though some flavors did not align with my expectations of authentic Turkish cuisine. The service was adequate, but nothing stood out. The ambiance was cozy, but it did lack a holiday spirit that could've made the atmosphere more vibrant. Overall, it was an average meal, but I might return to try other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to try Istanbulfoodlovers after hearing so much about it. The seasoned meats were tender and tasty, showing good skill in preparation. However, I was a bit disappointed with the size of my portion; for the price, I expected more. The drinks were a bit overpriced, too. Overall, it was a good experience, but not perfect. I'd be curious to see how my next visit goes. " (*Curated Review*)
