If you eat Oslo kebabs too often, you'd think of frozen diced meat that gets burnt sitting on a hot…read moreplate for hours. But! Luckily, there are places like Istanbul that reminds us that kebab is a wonderful dish when freshly prepared. Istanbul is a great outlet for typical Turkish kebabs - beef, lamb, chicken etc - along with other interesting Turkish menu items like rice-and-meat dishes, lahmacun, lentil soups etc. For vegetarians there are falafels. It's cheap enough to be a quick late-night doner takeaway (69kr), but also nice enough for dining-in and enjoying a complete meal. I was very satisfied with the 3-skewer sis kebab (160kr), a generous portion complete with bulgur, grilled peppers, yoghurt, salad and free bread. The beef may be a touch too chewy, but that's kinda given for the price. Probably doesn't get better value than this in Oslo.

So the hubs and I have ate the occasional falafel and kebab in the states but haven't ate any since…read moremoving to Norway. We didn't want to grab our first kebab on a "fast food" joint so we did a bit of research and found Instanbul has some great reviews. It was packed when we went Saturday evening, it was around 8pm. We were quickly acknowledged and sat at a table for two. We ordered lahmacun (49kr) which they described as a Turkish pizza of sorts, it was ok, I wouldn't get it again. For our entrees we ordered beyti kebab (144kr) and the mix grill (149kr). Both of these were really good, especially the mix grill which included chicken, lamb and beef. They beyti kebab sort of looked like a burrito, my husband said it was really good, I didn't get a chance to try it before he gulped it up. Great food, service was good, the place appeared nice and clean, so I definitely would go back in the future!

I saw them stressing out, and rapidly preparing the kebabs because there was a lot of traffic - something I have experienced way too often at kebab places in Oslo. They served me and another poor soul a 'light-ish' colored chicken kebab. Hungry as I was, I thought it looked and tasted a bit weird, assumed it was the color it was supposed to have and ate that disgusting sucker until I hit the slime. Told the staff that it was slimy, and waited for some sort of response. They clarified several times what I had said and I was forced to repeat this message in front of the sorry souls who had just ordered. They talked among themselves, started bickering in their native language and I walked out getting some questioning and regretting stares from the other patrons. Sad thing is, the kebab place is usually really good in the day time and I have been there several times lately, but after this experience I will never go back. Get your act together San Remo! You had a good product and you can do better! Train your staff to never ever, EVER, serve up disgustingly and potentially poisonous food. You really really, REALLY want me to be a customer on your good side so you can avoid reviews like this. Good luck!
