TLDR: Great Turkish food with standout chicken kebabs, flavorful rice, generous mezze portions, and…read morefriendly service. Bonus points for the relaxed patio and late-night Sunday hours. Taste of Istanbul was a delightful experience. I ordered the combination kebab platter to sample a bit of everything, and not a single item disappointed. The real standout was the chicken, it was cooked to perfection, incredibly juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Even the rice exceeded expectations, as it was well-seasoned and genuinely delicious rather than just a side dish. The service was attentive, with the staff offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring we had everything we asked for. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, and the outdoor seating makes it an especially enjoyable spot when the weather is nice. The mixed mezze platter was another highlight, offering generous portions that were easily enough to share among a few friends. The bread was fresh, warm, and crisp. It's also worth noting that they're open until midnight on Sundays, making Taste of Istanbul a fantastic option for a satisfying late-night meal.

A hardworking young girl behind the counter efficiently took orders, served food, and cleared tables. I hope she knows her work is appreciated by customers and that she's running the place incredibly well on her own. It was frustrating to see others mingling with customers while she was so busy. The place filled up quickly during lunch, and things moved too slowly for some of us. I hope they can provide her with some assistance to help her manage the workload better.

Usually Ragz and I share the double platter - 2 rows of either chicken breast pieces or the minced chicken with rice, salad and chickpeas. Platters are served with a massive piece of naan style bread as well. Their chicken is always moist and tastes good - thankfully the taste has remained consistent over the years. The rice has 2 flavors - a plain one and a flavored one. I like mixing them both together. The chickpeas are also tasty. The bread can be a lot honestly - we usually don't end up finishing it. Ragz really likes their beef kobideh too. Ambiance - I will be honest, I don't always feel comfortable going here by myself. It's usually filled with older looking men who sometime stare. I either order takeout and quickly rush in and rush out, or Ragz picks it up. I have also seen the owner be kind short with the folks that work here - mostly immigrant students and I really hope they get paid okay

This place used to be good, the gyro is still decent, but their quality and preparation has really…read moregone downhill even on the gyro and naan bread and kabobs. They dont make the food fresh, besides possibly the naan bread. But even the naan bread is not fresh for every order. They gave us extremely hard chewy room temperature naan which we had to go ask them for freshly cooked naan instead, which was totally different. The gyro meat, they literally reheat previously cooked gyro meat instead of carving it fresh off the roasting cone and providing freshly cooked gyro meat. The gyro meat they provided was also room temperature and obviously not fresh. Maybe if you get lucky and come in at the right time you can get gyro meat freshly carved off the cone, but the other times youll be getting older and reheated gyro meat which is unacceptable. Its the same situation with their beef kobideh kabobs and possibly even their rice. These were not made to order, instead both the kabob and rice were room temperature, not hot, and they had obviously reheated the kobideh kabobs instead of actually cooking fresh ones. All of this is unacceptable. To top it off their prices are extremely high. Gyros i believe were $14 which is very high end for gyro. The kobidehs i believe were $18 or $19. So their prices are higher than most places yet the quality is lower. Theres plenty of places you can get a freshly cooked gyro or kabob with rice for less.

It comes with a large portion of rice that is I think is infused with saffron and there are thinly sliced sweet carrots and raisins on top (this concept at first puzzled me as I wasn't used to a sweeter rice dish but it's really good).

Kabobs are usually priced around the price that this restaurant has priced their menu items at so I believe it is fair. I cannot review for takeout, but for dine-in, there was enough food that I had leftovers and had to ask for a to-go box because I could not finish the rice. The food is flavorful, they add a lot of little touches like a slice of lime, two different sauces for you, and a giant piece of bread. Mango Lassi is $6 but is made fresh.

I was really craving baba ganoush but unfortunately they didn't have any eggplant based dip. We ordered the red pepper dip and the meat shindig. Red pepper dip - came with warm pita and was pretty good. A mix of savory and sweet from the pomegranate. Shindig - came with trumpet mushrooms, steak, lamb-beef kubideh and chicken. The proteins were all cooked well but unfortunately under flavored making the use of the sauces a necessity. I also wish there was more pita. The rice, although a beautiful vibrant value, lacked the aroma and flavor of rice from the Mediterranean. This dish was not a good value for what it contained. Further, the inside of the restaurant is suffering from the effects of wear and tear. Both bathrooms were out of order. This lack of care is incongruous with the intended vibe of the restaurant. I don't think I will be making a return visit.
