" I recently discovered this hidden gem in Ormond Beach. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile from the owner, which immediately made us feel like family. We ordered the lamb kebabs, and they were seasoned to perfection, juicy and tender. As a huge fan of Mediterranean food, I can say with confidence that this is some of the best I’ve ever had! The portions are generous, and we even had leftovers to take home. To top it all off, we were served complimentary Turkish tea, which was the perfect finish to a wonderful meal. I can’t wait to return and try other dishes on the menu! Overall, one of my best dining experiences in a long time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was an unexpected delight! I stumbled upon Istanbul while searching for local eateries, and I’m so glad I did. The food was authentic and freshly prepared. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I especially enjoyed the range of dips offered in the meze platter, which were all fabulous. The mixed grill platter was a highlight—everything grilled to perfection. The ambiance is casual yet warm, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. I can't wait to visit again!

" I decided to celebrate my birthday here after hearing about it from a friend. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch! The food came out quickly, and the owner made sure to make my day special with a complimentary dessert. The lamb kebab I ordered was fantastic, and the portion was generous. I also appreciated the warm hospitality and the personal touch given. At the end, we had Turkish tea, which was a nice touch for my dinner. Definitely a place worth visiting again!

" After hearing many great reviews, I decided to try this Turkish restaurant. I must say, it is as good as everyone says! The lamb kebab was seasoned perfectly and was melt-in-the-mouth tender. I even got to try Turkish Coffee for the first time, and it was unforgettable! The service was friendly and knowledgeable, too. We ended our meal with baklava, which was heavenly. The atmosphere is cozy but also a bit cramped. Overall, highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a lovely little Turkish restaurant. The food is delicious and fresh! I tried the lentil soup, and it was packed with flavor, exactly what I needed. The owner was very nice and checked in frequently to ensure everything was fine. It’s a bit cramped inside, but that’s part of the charm. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal. Their baklava is also a must-try! I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Istanbul for a family dinner, and we were all delighted by the choice. The lamb chops stole the show; they were unbelievably tender and flavorful! We enjoyed the meze platter as an appetizer, with each dip adding a new layer to our meal. The service was attentive but not intrusive. The owner was charismatic, which made the experience even better. The prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone nearby! " (*Curated Review*)
