Wow! Authentic Lebanese cuisine. This is a must-try restaurant. I entered on a Thursday evening…read more And the place was packed. It was about 45 minutes to get our meal, but it was definitely worth it. The owner came out to greet and thank everyone for coming. People were clapping. I was moved. I enjoyed the falafels. They were crunchy just like I like them. There is bar seating. However, the drink choices are limited. It's not a full bar. There is accessible parking as well as entrance

I've been eating here with my wife and daughter for 4 years and have ordered the beef shawarma and…read moreHallumi cheese every single time, and every single time we have never been disappointed. The beef is flavorful and fresh, the hummus is seasoned, and the fried potatoes are always PERFECT. My wife and I have almost asked the cook how he manages to get the potatoes so consistently golden and crispy. The waitresses have always been nice and attentive. The decorations on the interior made us laugh the first time we saw it, but the music is quiet unlike every other restaurant that feels the need to assault your ears with music so that you can't hear yourself think. I have no idea what the bad reviews of this place are talking about with unflavorful food or bad wait times. We have never waited more than 20 minutes for our entree.

Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Even my husband, who usually refuses to eat Mediterranean food and always says "take me to Whataburger," ended up loving it and finished everything on his plate. That alone says a lot. ( nothing wrong with Whata but .. ) The service was also very good. We didn't catch the gentleman's name, but we really appreciated his attentiveness and kindness. Overall, a great experience and we'll definitely be back.

Maybe my favorite part of the whole experience was maybe the ambiance. The service was really great, as the waitress visited many times to ensure I had everything I needed. As far as the food, I tried the mixed grill with the toum and spicy tahini dipping sauces. This plate comes with a small salad and plenty of yellow rice. I also sampled the Road to Damascus cocktail which was initially a little bitter, but got better tasting as I drank more. The restroom was modern, clean and dimly lit, with Mediterranean style lighting. I'd definitely return to try more dishes and maybe make it to the happy hour.

Istanbul was an average experience for me. There are very limited vegetarian options and I was sad…read moreto see that falafel sandwiches are only offered until 4pm. The only two entrees I could see were a falafel plate and a cheese pida for vegetarians. I opted for the the cheese pida and a salad as I felt like my dinner needed some vegetables. The salad was plain tasting consisting of a lemon based dressing and cubes of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper. The dressing was not strong and I wished it had more flavor. I took it home and added my own dressing from home the next day. It's unfortunate that they charge an additional $1.50 for feta cheese which would have elevated the salad flavor. The cheese pide was good and a very large portion size. I wish there were some vegetables added however. The dough was delicious. Istanbul grill does make good bread. The pita bread was also good, very soft, and tasted fresh. It was busy on a Saturday night. Decor is minimal inside and ambiance was family friendly. Most of the tables were families with children. I will note that the interior was on the warmer side for a November night. Overall likely would not return just because of limited vegetarian food.
