The pita bread was soft and fresh, which really brought everything together. The fries were just as good--crispy and perfectly seasoned.

We arrived at 12:30 and they were slammed. No available parking, so my daughter dropped me off (so sweet) and parked a couple doors down. The dining room was packed and noisy. The young man who greeted us said he'd have a table in ten minutes or we could sit in the air conditioned patio area. That's what we did. The patio was quiet and a large fan blowing over a trough of ice kept us cool and comfortable. We started with an appetizer of hummus, tzatziki, pita, and dolmades, with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. The tzatziki was the best I've had. The sliced veggies were great so my celiac daughter could scoop the yummy spreads instead of pita. As lamb lovers, we ordered the lamb kabob plate and the lamb clay pot. The plate came with scrumptious rice, Greek salad, and sliced veg. The clay pot was filled with diced potatoes, tomatoes, and tender cubes of lamb, beautifully seasoned. So much delicious food! Our waiter offered dessert, but we were stuffed and settled for to-go boxes. I had an excellent lunch for two more days! As a big fan of Mediterranean food, I don't know how I could have missed Istanbul, but my first time surely won't be my last.

This place specializes in Turkish/Mediterranean food. There have various appetizers, pita sandwiches, entrees and dessert. I got the diner sandwich, which is pictured in the photo, pieces of beef & lamb mixed kebab sliced thinly served in a pita with red onion, lettuce, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce. It comes with your choice of Greek salad or fries. Their fries at crispy, not soggy. The meat was well seasoned and the spices the meat was seasoned with come through! It you want slices typical to kebabs or gyro sandwiches, get the Istanbul pita, which was what my husband got. Lots of seating for small and big groups! Service was decent, but not sure how it is on a really busy night. We came at lunch time, so about 8-9 tables and our server didn't check in on us much after we got our meal, which was out pretty quick after we ordered. We did have to wait and stop her to ask for more napkins and water but other than that, friendly staff. Would recommend checking this place out!

On my first visit, I ordered the falafel wrap with fries and it was delicious. When I came back, I tried the gyro wrap which was really good too but I might stick with the falafel wrap next time because it was packed with flavor. The service was great! Everything came out quickly and they bring out a plate of pita bread with hummus and tzatziki sauce while you wait. There's plenty of seating inside and the space is decorated with pictures of Greece, which adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're in the mood for Greek food.

But, we won't be in Tucson for a couple weeks. No problem. Went there today with my receipts and the unopened product. I picked out what I wanted in the first place, and got change back. Being of Armenian decent, this place is a God send. Can't recommend it more.

They use the machine and then cut the pieces in squares. No technique. That said, it's still manageable. However, not this time. The pieces were supposed to be small for stew/curry. The butcher (a kid this time) did such a sloppy job of it! The pieces were cut as if to throw in a grinder. Some were as big as 5-6 ounce by itself. See the pics for yourself. If you go there, ensure you check the pieces after they cut it.

Next time we are back we will definitely be trying some other things for sure. Great option. More what we were in the mood for than Costco pizza.

We ordered drinks and studied the menu some and put in orders for the Aspasia and hummus plates along with the big (we had no idea it was that big) family mix grill and chicken and beef shawarma. We received the Aspasia plate first and it was delicious! The kibbeh was so good but so was everything else. The mixed grill plate was awesome. The hummus and baba ghanoush were incredible. I don't think I can get enough superlatives into this write up to fully convey not only how good this food is but also how authentic it all was. Of course our server timed all the deliveries to our table so that everything came out correctly and at the right time. The inside of the restaurant is actually a big room, sparsely decorated with simple tables and chairs but again it added to the charm and authenticity of the cafes from the Middle East region. There is no other place in Tucson like this and I highly recommend this to you to go and try. There is plenty here to try and enjoy.

I was charged, given a confirmation number, and a pickup time of 7:37pm. When I arrived just after 7:30pm for my takeout, the employee came to the window and told me that they closed early and aren't doing anymore orders. When I showed him my confirmation email receipt he told me it doesn't matter and that I needed to go home. When I explained that I already paid and asked for a refund he flat out said no and that it's not his problem. When I pressed further for an explanation to why their website would take an order if they're closed and demanded a refund, he pretended not to understand me anymore and told me to leave. Caravan Grill is open until 8pm, this can be confirmed on Google and the hours posted on their door. I'm beyond frustrated that they would take my order, charge my card, and send me a confirmation email with a pickup time only to close early. Additionally, how can you charge me and then not provide the service I paid for and deny me a refund? Lastly, why the rude attitude with me like I'm at fault for ordering food. This is absolutely insane business practice. It truly feels illegal, because WTF am I suppose to do? They stole $50 from me! Confirmation email attached for proof
