    No wait when I got there, as they just opened. Food was delicious, and service was good. They were out of a few items but I don't mind to come back to try them when in stock.

    Istanbul Mediterranean is a must try. The first thing I noticed was how clean the space is, especially with the open kitchen and food prep area. Everything looked fresh and well kept, which made a great first impression. I had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded so good, but the gentleman at the register was patient and helpful. I went with the rice bowl with the beef/lamb combo, and it did not disappoint. It came with rice, salad, perfectly seasoned meat, and three pieces of bread. Every part of it was delicious and super filling. The meat was sliced just right, the salad was fresh and crunchy with lots of color, and the rice was fluffy with added noodles that gave it great texture. The sauces really brought it all together. The tzatziki, xzander, and chili sauce were all flavorful and paired perfectly with the dish. The vibe here is calm, comfortable, and honestly a nice change from the chaos of Fremont Street just steps away. It almost feels quiet because everyone is focused on their food. That is how you know it is good. I almost forgot about the lemonade served in a cooler mug, get it, it's refreshing, perfectly sweet and not your ordinarily lemonade. The complimentary tea at the end was the perfect touch to wrap up the meal. Highly recommend.

    Borek, Pistachio Chocolate Cake
    Cathy C.

    Yelp Review 2026 #34: In my most recent trip to Türkiye, what stuck to me the most aside from the amazing food was their hospitality. Every restaurant I went to, I was treated like family that enjoyed feeding me. I felt that same hospitality this morning when I went to Istanbul Mediterranean at their Fremont location in Downtown Las Vegas. The place is easy to find. It's just right behind the Fremont sign - the same row as all the restaurants and bars like The Griffin, Commonwealth, and Le Thai. Lots of paid parking in the area. It's a small, cozy, nice and clean restaurant. Order and pay at the counter, they'll give you a number, find a table and wait for them to bring you your food. Next to the counter is a glass case of more Turkish treats you can get: borek, baklava in different shapes and sizes, simit (it's like a Turkish sesame bagel), pistachio chocolate cake, devil's fudge cake, red velvet cake, and Turkish drinks like ayran (yogurt drink), and salgam (fermented black carrot juice). I wanted to try so many things to see how it compares to what I had in Türkiye. DONER BOX: Chopped Doner with lettuce, tomatoes, sumac onions, signature house sauce and white sauce on top of fries. You can add feta for extra $. I had the best Doner in the streets of Istanbul where they shave the Doner instead of chopping it. But I understand why they chose to chop it for this dish - it makes it easier to eat like carne asada fries. The signature sauce is tangy. The fries were hot and crispy. They really fill a to-go box with fries and Doner so don't let the $26 price tag scare you because this can feed up to 2 people. This is not something I saw being done anywhere in Istanbul but it's good though. 4.5/5 BEYTI DONER KEBAB: Doner with tomato sauce and yogurt wrapped in lavash. Tasty shaved Doner. Lavash is an almost-paper-thin, light bread so, it's not a heavy wrap. By the way, when you get any of their Doner, your options are beef and lamb or chicken. 4.5/5 BAKLAVA: I'm a huge fan of Hafiz Mustafa which has the best baklava and Turkish desserts in Türkiye - and no baklava from anywhere can compare. So, to test Istanbul Mediterranean, I got a variety of baklava. Sadly, they didn't have chocolate baklava which is my favorite. I'm pleased to report that theirs is pretty close to Hafiz Mustafa! Light, crispy top layers of phyllo, lots of nuts in the middle, and the bottom is soaked in syrup. 4.5/5 I asked if they would consider adding manti to their menu (with an Armenian pronunciation) so I had to repeat myself. They said it's hard to make so maybe not. They gave me several rounds of Turkish tea for free even a cup to go which was very nice. I'll definitely be back! Tip: if you're lactose intolerant, don't mess with the yogurt drink! I tried it when I was at Turkish Airlines Lounge because I was bored. It's an acquired taste. It's like salty sour milk like runny ranch dressing. It made my stomach hurt the entire flight. Never again.

    Beef and lamb wrap
    William D.

    We were Downtown and passed this place and had to try it. I love wraps and doners. The restaurant is beautiful with very comfortable seating and also very clean. We ordered a sandwich and wrap and both were very good. I've never had pickles on these types of sandwiches before and they worked very well together. On the wrap we also added feta and in my opinion it overwhelmed it a little so I won't do that again. All the desserts we tried were very good as well. One thing they need is an ice machine. Hopefully they get one soon and there are restrooms in the back.

    Diced Meat and Cheese Turkish Flatbread
    Kelly M.

    Stopped by on a busy Friday night. Staff were super friendly and explained the menu to me. They recommended the flatbread so I ordered that and a rice pudding. It was all very delicious. I like that you can see the oven and the food being made. Would visit again.

    Kabob
    Angie A.

    This place has great service. Hot, yummy food and great staff. They hustle the food out to you and make sure you're all taken care of. At first I was getting jealous bc we didn't get the "Turkish experience". There was a distinct difference in the service given to the speakers of the language but we just asked and we received the "Turkish experience". We were given Turkish coffee and tea after our meal. It is tiny inside but our party of five made do. The meat is so good and that spicy sauce for the kabob was at a level 9. We all enjoyed our food.

    Lamb and beef wrap
    Jeff M.

    Excellent Turkish, Mediterranean, Halal restaurant located in downtown Las Vegas. Came here with the family. We ordered numerous appetizers from flatbread and hummus the meze trio. Their main dishes are authentic flatbreads are pulled right of the oven for freshness chard but crispy and delicious. We got their Meze or appetizer combination. Delicious. Wife got the lamb and beef wrap. She enjoyed. Their doners are fresh right off the barbecue spit. Their kebabs are superb. All of their doners are homemade. We had the falafel's the Kibbe, the doner and cheese pie and the meze trio for appetizers. All homemade and delicious. service was excellent Ambience is casual, delicious food very authentic!!

    Matt W.

    Wow, the Beef & Lamb is absolutely incredible here. Tzatziki is off the charts, and the service was excellent. 10/10 one of my new favorite spots off Fremont. Great for dinner or a late night snack. UPDATE: Came back for a late night snack. Can't get enough. Super delicious.

    Chocolate Baklava - so good!
    Ryo Hanalei Z.

    It had been a while since I tried somewhere new on Fremont, so I decided to take a walk and see what had opened recently. I noticed Istanbul Mediterranean, which has taken over the space where a chicken burger spot used to be, and since it was such a beautiful day, I decided to pop in and try a wrap. As soon as I walked in, I was directed to the cashier to place my order. The menu was simple and easy to read. Some items were new to me, but each one had descriptions underneath, which made it helpful to understand what was included. While waiting to order, I noticed the dessert case and immediately spotted chocolate baklava. I knew right away I had to try one. I ordered a chicken wrap in lavash, a bottled water, and of course the chocolate baklava. The person who rang me up was very friendly and gave me a number for my table. While I was waiting, he came by with a small glass of tea. I told him I didn't order it, and he smiled and said it was just for me to try. Such a thoughtful touch! I happen to love tea, and it was piping hot and delicious. Soon after, my wrap arrived. The chicken was flavorful and appeared to be in a tomato and paprika style sauce with a slight smokiness and a gentle kick of heat. The fresh vegetables--lettuce, cucumber, and onions--added a nice balance. I might ask for a little more onion next time, but overall it was a satisfying wrap. The real star of lunch, though, was the chocolate baklava. It was rich, sweet, and packed with chocolate flavor--honestly so good I could probably eat several of them. The restaurant itself looked nice and welcoming, and the service was excellent. I'll likely come back again to try the gyro, since that's one of my favorites. If you're exploring Fremont and looking for a hearty Mediterranean wrap or gyro, this place is definitely worth checking out. Njoy!

    Turkish coffee and chocolate cheesecake with pistachios
    Paria B.

    Came here on a Monday morning and was greeted so warmly by Mariyam. The coffee was delicious, just like the Turkish coffee that my mother makes! And the cheesecake was phenomenal. We will definitely be back, and we will be bringing friends with us. Thanks again!

    Turkish tea
    Maria S.

    The food was delicious, the service was great and it looks really nice and clean inside. I had the mixed bowl and the chicken was my favorite.

    Meze Trio
    Jody R.

    This new restaurant is amazing. The Turkish food is delicious, plentiful and reasonable. Anja, the manager is very friendly and very helpful. She suggested several dishes that we really enjoyed. For a party of 6 we add the Meze Trio, Istanbul Salad, Rice Bowl (Bulgar, lamb & beef, hummus, veggies, bread), Iskender Kebab, Lahmacun (Turkish pizza), dessert called Layer of Taste (4 baklavas). We also received their complimentary tea! We look forward to going back. Zane, the owner also stopped by, very nice gentleman. Unfortunately, they do not take reservations but we arrived about 5:45 pm on a Thursday evening and were fortunate to get 2 tables joined together to accommodate all six of us. Anja, a huge mahalo for welcoming us!

    Gurshawn M.

    The food was excellent and full of flavor. The lamb and beef pita and lamb and beef Turkish burger we ordered was well prepared and enjoyable. Service was slightly slow at times, but overall the experience was very good. I would definitely return and recommend this restaurant to others.

So we ended up dining at Rick's Rollin Smoke BBQ and Tavern, which is right across the way from the Pawn Stars pawn shop. It was a great experience from the start. We got there just before the rush which worked out perfectly. The staff was friendly and everything came out quickly. The food was excellent. The cornbread was really good and buttery, the collard greens were excellent, and the beans were also superb. The barbecue chicken and ribs were great as well. Everything was just really, really, really excellent. The barbecue sauce was fantastic too with both spicy and mild options. Overall just a really great experience. Next time we are back in Vegas we will definitely be stopping by again. If you are visiting the Pawn Stars shop do yourself a favor and walk right across to this BBQ spot. You will not be disappointed. Shucks, we forgot to get their Peach Cobbler!!!
