    Falafel, Hummus and the Veggie casserole

    Bearken our server was so gracious. This restaurant is a wonderful place for lunch. The tea and coffee heavenly! Loved the falafel. Pretty little converted house, warm atmosphere! Can't wait to go back!

    The food is fresh and delicious. It's obvious that he cares about what food he put in front of you. The gyro platter was amazing. and perfectly cooked. The falafel were also amazing as an appetizer. I completely cleared my plate. I feel full, but not stuffed. Definitely coming back.

    Shrimp Casserole
    Lynn P.

    Pardon the pun here but this place is the diamond in rough. The flavor of the Shrimp Casserole was so good I couldn't stop till the bowl was empty. I also had the Red Lentil soup to start and that bowl was cleaned as well. I wish I had room for desert because what I saw go by my white table cloth table looked delicious. The staff was very professional and the chef cares so much about his craft that he checks in with every table to ensure their satisfaction. Danilo Case, my waiter was great. Friendly, able to carry a conversation when warranted and very helpful. If you are in the area and looking for authentic Turkish food, come here.

    Turkish coffee after an amazing meal.

    The food and service are the best. You have to try this place. It's BYOB and the chef is top notch!

    I visited Turkey earlier this year and this restaurant made me feel like I was back in Turkey! The food was made to perfection and so flavorful. The lentil soup was delicious. The chocolate baklava was absolutely mouth watering! I loved talking to the owner and you can definitely see his passion for this! I will be back with different people in the near future! I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Very authentic Turkish food at a reasonable price. Ambiance needs a little bit more lighting.

The food is phenomenal, they have a family combo for four that is perfect for a family of 4-6 people, the portions are so large we always have leftovers. Amazing baklava, hummus and baba ganoush. Good salads especially if you love sumac-based salad dressings (which I love yum). The inside of the restaurant is so beautiful with pictures of Istanbul and the traditional lanterns. Great place and right in the middle of Southlake, so no need to trek to Dallas for great Mediterranean food.

We were greeted and seated right away. Service throughout was warm and attentive, our server checked on us a few times to make sure everything was good. They started us with warm, crispy bread and a yogurt-based dip that was quite flavorful. I ordered the lamb shish kebab platter (well done), and we also tried the chicken shish kebab platter. Both came with buttery rice, a fresh salad drizzled with olive oil, and yogurt sauce. The chicken was tender and properly seasoned, but the lamb was the highlight. Lamb can easily turn dry or overly gamey if not handled right, but this was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor even when cooked well done, exactly how a good shish kebab should be. I skipped dessert this time, though they offer a few options, and I noticed what appeared to be a buffet setup, which I'm curious to try next. Overall, a solid, well executed Mediterranean meal. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

The meat was tender and incredibly flavorful. They also started the table with some bread which was welcomed and fresh! The vibe here is truly unique and really makes you feel like you've stepped into the Mediterranean. I would love to come back and have some coffee next time! Service was great: friendly, quick, and always very accommodating. This is truly a one of a kind restaurant in Fort Worth! Definitely don't want to skip this spot!

This place does Turkish food justice and has so much cultural charm with the decor and warm, cozy atmosphere. We started off with the complimentary bread, which was fresh and warm. I do wish that it came with an oil dip, but it was nice to have with my meal. For my entree, I ordered the lamb gyro and absolutely loved it. I sometimes find an issue that dishes at Turkish/Middle Eastern restaurants can be salty, but it wasn't here! The salad it came with did have a bit too much pepper for my liking, but the tomatoes were incredibly juicy. Overall, the meal was delicious and light. The staff was kind and attentive, but we were also the only customers there on a late Tuesday afternoon. There's a dedicated parking lot for Flying Carpet, which is a huge plus especially for it being on Magnolia avenue. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be coming back!

We arrived as a party of five on a medium-busy Sunday evening. The tables were a reasonable distance apart, and the noise level was also fair. The food was delicious. Having not experienced authentic Turkish food before, the mention of authenticity made my group eager to give Cafe Istanbul a try. Ordering was painless and easy. There are entrees for individual meals and easy options for groups to share family-style, which we opted for. We ordered an appetizer platter with beef meatball, baba ganoush, hummus, and phyllo borek (ground beef with spices and onions inside a deep-fried phyllo wrapper). It was a bit odd that there were different amounts of each (2 meatball, 4 phyllo borek, and dollops of baba ganoush and hummus were only enough to get a small taste each) but it was balanced out by the portion size of the entree. For the entree, we opted for the mixed grill plate to share. It had chicken shish kebab, lamb kebab, adana kebab (ground lamb, pepper, and spices), grilled chicken wings, and chicken beyti (ground chicken and spices, grilled). This was served with rice and red cabbage on the side. Individually, each amount seemed small, but given that this plate was meant for two, we were still pleasantly full after polishing this off. Everything was well seasoned. The meat was juicy and perfectly cooked. I'd especially recommend the chicken beyti. The here service was swift and outstanding. We were quickly offered menus, waters, and utensils. Our waters were refilled quickly, and the kitchen took our request to plate the lamb separately in stride. The moment after my fork fell to the ground, a member of their serving staff swooped to fetch it (it was behind my chair) while another brought me a new one. It was a very well-rehearsed dance. Worth mentioning is also the fact that there were two separate groups dining that evening (a large family, and a group of friends) to celebrate a birthday. This is a restaurant worthy of birthday celebrations :) Overall, the portions are decent and filling, the food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. Consider visiting this restaurant next time you're in the area; you'll be glad that you did!
