" Taste Of Istanbul is everything you'd want from a good Mediterranean restaurant. The staff were very welcoming, the food was fresh, and the service was prompt. I highly enjoyed the kunefe for dessert, alongside a strong Turkish coffee. Both were exceptional! A must-visit for any Turkish food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I attended a casual dinner at Taste Of Istanbul and was quite surprised by the overall experience. While the food was decent, I expected more authentic tastes. The interior was charming and the service friendly, but the portion sizes were on the smaller side. I hope they can improve this aspect because I really want to like this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my visit to Taste Of Istanbul, I wasn't too impressed with the service. It took a while for our orders to be taken and even longer for the food to arrive. However, once it did, the lamb chops were fantastic. Amidst the long wait, I appreciated their homemade desserts which were quite delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to many Turkish restaurants, and I can confidently say that Taste Of Istanbul stands out. Their kunefe is a must-try! The dessert was served warm and had the right amount of sweetness. Coupled with their attentive service, it made my visit memorable. However, I did find the menu a bit limited compared to other places I've been. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent experience at Taste Of Istanbul was quite mixed. While the food was flavorful, I felt the portions were not as generous considering the price. The Adana kebab was good, but the wait for service was longer than expected. I enjoyed the ambiance, though, and would consider returning if I find myself in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was hoping for more when I visited this restaurant. Although the food was slightly better than average, it just didn’t feel very authentic, especially compared to what I'm used to from back home. The service was friendly, but I felt like they could have been more attentive. Overall, I would say it's a decent place to visit occasionally. " (*Curated Review*)

" When I visited Taste Of Istanbul last week, I was blown away by the authentic flavors of the dishes. The lamb kebabs were tender and packed with spices that reminded me of my travels in Turkey. The atmosphere was cozy, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. I will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
