Istanbul Mediterranean is in some outdoor plaza shopping area right on the strip. Several food vendors and shops in this area, most reasonably priced for Vegas anyway. Food here is good and priced reasonable (again for the strip). Order at the window and they call you when it is done. There are a few tables that you can eat at but not many. You get a lot of food here and this is one of the better places to eat in this area. Tried the hummus, beef and lamb pita, and some other Turkish pita that I forgot the name of. All very good. Highly recommend. read more

We were walking through this nice outdoor plaza area one day and we noticed this place. We decided we couldn't leave vegas without trying it! On our last day in vegas we came back. This is a small place with a window to order and pay. They have the menu showing on the front and you can see the staff preparing the food as it is glass. We decided to order stuffed grape leaves to share and a pita sandwich each. I ordered the beef and lamb one and added the sauce and feta cheese. There are a couple of tables in front where you can sit but they are first come first serve and shared with other businesses. The food came out relatively quick. The grape leaves were good just not as citrusy as I'm used to. The sandwich was big and a bit messy to eat so I used utensils. The flavor was really good. read more

Had higher hopes for this place. I suppose I am a little spoiled coming from Portland, Oregon all the food in any given dive bar is better than this place. Still I don't think I would ever go here again. Very forgettable. read more

They lamb and beef mix gyro was great and the bread was definitely worth the calories but everything else let me down as a fellow Turk. Especially the çiğ köfte Was so disappointing (super sad face). Seeing as they're already not conveniently located, I don't know that I'd make a special trip to the strip for this place. So disappointed. read more

Great spot for a gyro. There was a wait but it moved fast. Got my gyro and fries in about 15 minutes. Meat was tender and juicy, and the extra sauce made it that much better. Pita was toasted and warm. Fries were seasoned and crispy. Watch out for the pigeons while you're waiting. . . some people were feeding them which didn't help. There are a few tables shared with other location but they had bird poop on them so I stood. read more

I ordered the mixed rice bowl. It was only ok. I asked for the sauce to be put on the side and they didn't do that. My sister ordered a salad bowl but they gave her a rice bowl instead. The chicken was super dry, the lamb beef was ok but nothing to rave about (at least to me). There are tables right next to the restaurants and we went there for lunch so there was no wait at 11ish read more

Istanbul Mediterranean Halal - Mixed Mixed Döner (Beef&Lamb and Chicken Shawarma) Salad Bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Best value price -wise on the famous Strip. Fresh food, halal. Decently flavored and served relatively quickly despite the long line. No Ambiance as they are strictly a take out restaurant. Not the tastiest Shawarma I've ever had. But satisfying if you are visiting the Strip, short on time and don't want to burn a hole in your wallet. For 2 mixed (chicken and lamb) meat shawarmas we spent approximately $34. read more

Was walking by the Grand Bazaar Shops (near the Horseshoe casino - where their ia a large food court of options that's on the more affordable side) and this place always had a crowd outside so as the old saying goes... Nothing attracts a crowd, like a crowd so I decided to eat here. Got a chicken wrap and beef-n-lamb Turkish Pita. I especially liked the Turkish Pita as I've not seen this toasted sesame pocket at the Mediterranean places that's I've been to. The toasting gives it a nice crunch. Check them out if you're in the area. read more

OMG we were so excited to come across this gem. We've traveled all over Europe and have had döner and were craving some like no other. We happen to walk past this and had to try it. It's the real deal! We got the döner salad as well as the döner box or döner and fries They have a lot of options for the meat which is flavored very well. The service was fast and friendly. You order and then they call your number when it's ready. No places to sit and wait or eat, so it's a to go option only. I did see that they were going to have a sit down place soon which is great for them. I wish they had this place in my hometown read more

Istanbul Mediterranean Halal is where those in the know go. Its a hidden gem located in the front of what used to be Bally's and now is the Horseshow. Red's takes center stage but Istanbul Mediterranean Halal deserves all the spotlight and attention. Not only do they offer Halal but they also have vegan options. Here are the steps. Choose your base - Pita, bowl, salad, fries, Turkish Pita if available or Rice Then choose your protein - Of course there's meats. You would have to be blind to miss the meat spinning on the spit. But there are vegan options. 1. Falafel and 2. Chikofte When I asked about the Chikofte, vegan bulgr meat, the server did tell me its cold. I went with the Falafel. I choose the tahini sauce and then ordered a side of hummus My meal was less than 20 bucks. I was provided with plenty of napkins and cultery. NOTE: There are no dedicated tables and chairs, there are some tables and chairs but its first come first served. You have to be like the pigeons and swoop down and grab a table as customers are leaving or take your order and find somewhere to sit. I was fortunate to takeover a table and enjoy my lunch. It was deli deli delicious. The pita was as big as the Bosphorus Bridge that connects the European Istanbul with the Asian Istanbul. My hummus was tremendously delicious. In summary, Istanbul Mediterranean Halal was affordable, delicous, and packed with favors. I highly recommend checking them out whether you like meat or not. read more

If you've been wandering the Strip long enough, eventually you hit that point where you want something filling, flavorful, and not a break-your-wallet kind of meal. That's how we ended up at this little shop tucked into one of the outdoor mall-style areas in the Grand Bazaar Shops. I ordered the mix wrap, which came packed with beef, lamb, and chicken along with rice, pickles, lettuce, and onions. When they handed it over, I immediately noticed the portion size was generous -- something that's not always guaranteed in Vegas. The meats were well-seasoned and tender, and the mix of fresh veggies and tangy pickles added a nice crunch and brightness to balance everything out. We also tried the beef-and-lamb Turkish pita, which was equally solid. The meat had that classic savory shawarma-style flavor, and the pita was soft but sturdy enough to hold everything together without falling apart halfway through. Adding the hot sauce. that gave everything the perfect kick and brought the whole meal together. The price was actually very reasonable for the Strip, and the portions were big enough that we ended up with leftovers. If you're exploring the Strip and want something hearty and not outrageously priced, this is definitely worth a stop. read more

Istanbul is a dream destination I want to visit, so I always try food with "Istanbul" in the name, just in case I come across something special. Once, when I walked past Flamingo on the Strip from north to south, I saw a lane with several food booths. The Istanbul Mediterranean Restaurant (Halal) was there. They only had a few shared tables in the lane, shared with a neighboring pizza booth and others. The food was good, but honestly, a little overrated. It was fine, but not worth going out of your way for. In Las Vegas, there are just too many good food options--you don't want to waste a meal here. Anywhere else, this might deserve 4 stars, but in Las Vegas, the standards are higher. Sorry, Istanbul Mediterranean. What I Ate Beef & Lamb Döner (Shawarma) Turkish Pita - 3/5 Pity-this one was gamey. Even though it was mixed with beef and lamb, it still carried that strong lamb flavor. I was okay with it, but my wife-who's originally from Yunnan, China, where lamb doesn't have that gamey taste-found it off-putting. Chicken Döner (Shawarma) Lavash Wrap - 3/5 It was fine, but bland, even though I ordered one with chili sauce. The wrap itself wasn't bad, and the chicken was tender, but it wasn't seasoned well--too light, too plain. A bit of a letdown. When they prepared the food, they placed foil on the table, put bread on it, then added the meat and other toppings, followed by another piece of bread, and wrapped everything with the foil. Afterwards, they put the food in a panini-press-like machine to warm it. The problem was that they didn't heat it long enough, maybe because too many people were waiting. When I got my food, it was warm on the outside, but the meat in the middle was still cold, which was a big drawback. The food itself wasn't bad, but it lacked both flavor and proper temperature. Hopefully it can be improved. read more

I was staying at the Paris hotel, so this place was right nearby. Over my four day trip, I went here 2 times which says a lot about how good this place is as someone who loves to try new food. They let you choose what type of dish, protein, veggies, and sauce (2 sauces) you want. I got the french fry bowl with combination meat with the house sauce and chilli sauce and it was amazing. The meat is super flavorful and tender. I liked my sauce combination and the flavors complimented each other nicely. There's a lot of meat and veggies which go well together. The onion rings were crispy. They don't come with a sauce but they are seasoned with sauce. I loved them! read more

I had an early flight, so I was thrilled this place opened at 10 a.m. so I could grab a quick lunch before heading to the airport. It was super convenient since it's located right below the Horseshoe hotel where I was staying. For a $20 plate, my chicken and rice was a great deal, packed with veggies, carbs, and protein. The white and red sauces balanced the meal perfectly. It even came with warm pita bread, which was delicious. I'm so glad I got a chance to try this spot. I'm surprised there aren't more places like it on the Strip! read more

small, outside, and quick bite the meats are on a roller cooking fresh they dont have just beef, they have beef + lamb mixed together, which I did not get wish they had just beef ordered the chicken wrap, they load it, juicy and you get two sauces to pick from where theyll put into your wrap. pretty darn good. quick bite thank you just be careful of the pigeons, there are homeless pigeons camping in that area read more

Istanbul Mediterranean Halal - Chicken Döner (Shawarma) Lavash Wrap - Mediterranean Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I once knew this couple that lived in Austin, TX but now live in Las Vegas and they recommended some places to eat in Vegas on their YouTube Channel . The one that I really enjoyed was the Istanbul Mediterranean Grill which is located in the Horseshoe Hotel/Casino Food Court. This venue does not have an eat-in option, take-out only. There was a bit of a line when I arrived but did not have to wait too long. I ordered a Beef and Lamb Shawarma and a Beef, Lamb, and Chicken Rice Bowl. I was able to watch them make my shawarma as well. They took this huge pita bread, laid it flat, then laid on the beef and lamb, topped everything with the veggie mix and white Tzatziki sauce, wrapped it up and then placed it in a sandwich press. It was about a foot long so they cut it in half for my convenience. The Rice Bowl with shaved beef, lamb, and chicken served over a very flavorful yellow seasoned rice topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, parley mix and pickles and White Tzatziki sauce, a cucumber yogurt, very tasty. I was really tempted to get some Baklava but decided to wait until my next visit. I will definitely be back, I love this place. read more

The line was long but it sort of moved quickly. I ordered a beef and lamb doner salad bowl. For the price, I got this gigantic portion that can easily last 2-3 meals. For this being on the strip, the price was cheap for how much you get. People that say this is overpriced forget that they're getting food on the strip versus in the suburbs. The shawarma is not the best I've had but it was decent. It filled that hunger feeling. I got better value here than at Gordon Ramsay's Fish and Chips. Overall, I would give this a 4. The meat quality is a 3. Like I said, on the strip everything is overpriced but this is one of the better deals if you don't want to eat expensive American food. read more

I was super hungry and saw this place had great reviews so we headed straight over. This was pretty late at night so it's nice that they're open late. When we got there, there was a massive line out front which made us question if this was the right choice given my hunger level but we decided the long line must mean it's good. We each got a rice bowl with mixed meat (chicken and beef/lamb). It comes with a side of pita. There was a bit of a wait to get the food but not too long. It was just okay. We get shawarma a lot so maybe our bar is too high but this was definitely not impressive. It also made us feel pretty gross afterwards for a while. Some people clearly love it but maybe they don't know good shawarma? Just know a long line doesn't necessarily mean it's good. read more

My 2nd time here, it was the first thing we ate when we arrived. We ordered the falafels chicken rice bowl; beef gyro. The falafels were yummy crispy but perfectly soft in the sides the rice bowl was great with saffron rice, great mix with pickles went the tang, both bowl and wrap mixed with spicy red sauce and Tzatziki. We ordered plenty of food. There is a line but it's worth it. Service is great, they did mix up our order but they quickly resolved. There is no seating outside and seating is tricky cuz it's a shared communal area. So grab a seat while you can! read more

Decent halal place for a Togo type of meal. Been seeing long lines at night for this place and decided to try it out in the afternoon when there was no line. We got the beef and lamb Turkish pita and pita sandwich. The Turkish pita has a bread like texture topped with seeds. The Turkish pita was soft and fluffy. The pita was very thin and was similar to a tortilla. Good amount of fillings for both. The sauce goes well with the meats. The meat has a good grilled flavor. The food stand does have a few tables across the order window but does get busy at night. read more

Istanbul Mediterranean Halal is one of the outdoor restaurants on the strip. There are a few outdoor tables nearby the restaurant. The person who took our order was really nice and she gave us a tip on how to order to save money and get what we wanted. We ordered two chicken bowls with dolmas and they were great for sharing. The chicken bowl was flavorful and a good portion for the price. The dolmas were wrapped well, the perfect amount of salty, and the rice was cooked properly.
