Sometimes, especially with Mediterranean restaurants, it's hard for me to judge how good a place is…read morebased on the menu alone. For example, I can generally tell a good Chinese place from a mediocre one based on certain dishes that's being offered or what the place is calling it, same with Mexican. Is it failproof? Absolutely not. But it gives me an idea of what we're working with. However, "Mediterranean" I feel like is such a broad term and maybe because DFW doesn't have a ton of Persian options, the restaurants tend to offer more mainstream menu items, like kabobs and gyros. And let's face it, we've all had dried kabobs and subpar gyro. As my colleague and I sat down and stared at the small (and honestly a bit pricey) menu, I was almost regretful for choosing the restaurant. However, we stayed because this place had such high ratings on both Google and Yelp. And in reviews we trust! I stared at the chicken kabob option and ended up ordering it. Would I have liked a little something more than just chicken and rice and a blackened tomato for the price? Yes. But was it one of the best chicken and rice and blackened tomato I've had in a Mediterranean restaurant? Also yes. The rice had flavor, the chicken was moist and the tomato was chef's kiss. I stole a couple of french fries from my colleagues plate and she assured me that her gyro was also great. The simpleness of the dish plus the perfect execution was enough to convince me of returning soon.

The aioli is amazing, and I love the addition of pickles to it. It's super long and thin, and is always more than enough food for me even without any sides. Bf gets something different every time but is favorable to a potato side dish they have. We also both love their Greek salad. He's gotten multiple mains and is never disappointed. I doubt they remember us, but we see the same employee faces a lot and they're always very kind to us. I want to shout out especially the man I assume is the manager, who is here every time we come. A very jolly man who is always coming around and making sure we are satisfied. We're here multiple times a month. You won't regret coming here!

Given it was 12:30pm we were happy to see this place was quite full but still had a table for the 2 of us inside. There is a terrace which might be an option for our next visit. Yea you read that right, we will definitely be back. For lunch we ordered the octopus appetizer which was nice a tender, perfectly grilled and simply served with the most perfect vinaigrette. Nothing more than a little squeeze of lemon over it and you could have brought me a dozen more. But we had to save room for our mains. I chose the gyros salad and my wife the baked haddock with Greek potatoes and string beans. Both dishes were perfect. Not too fancy and just what the doctor ordered. Overheard several tables around us that they were repeat customers so we must have stumbled on to something good. So if you are thinking Greek, check this place out. You won't be disappointed

We enjoyed Platia tonight! I haven't had much Greek food, so it was a fun experience trying…read moresomething different. I ordered the Pastitsio with potatoes and gigantes. The main dish just wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't because it wasn't well made, it was more of a texture preference for me. The potatoes were a little overcooked for my liking, although a friend at our table said his were great. I did, however, love the gigantes! Our table also shared the Trio of Dips (tirokafteri, hummus, and skordalia), the moussaka, the Brazilian steak, and the Aegean stuffed pepper. The tirokafteri and hummus were both delicious. The skordalia wasn't for me, but that's simply because it's essentially a chilled potato dip, not a reflection of the restaurant. The Brazilian steak was fantastic, great flavor and cooked perfectly. The stuffed pepper and moussaka also got a thumbs-up from our group. I believe our server's name was Uli, and he was good. He took the time to explain several dishes. Greek food probably isn't at the top of my personal favorites list, but this one was ok.

The service is nothing out of the ordinary, but the food more than makes up for it. This is the kind of place you come back to when you want a reliable, filling, and flavorful meal.

It's pretty much self service you get your own drinks and the food is buffet style. So on to the food. I really wasn't sure what to expect. I like my food well seasoned and I've eaten Mediterranean food that was bland. I looked at the food online and it looked like there was a good variety and a coworker told me they thought it was good but I still had to see for myself. I got a good variety the first time around from the spicy hummus, pasta, salad, variety of chicken and rice, fried chicken, baked tilapia, and chicken kabobs, and fish. All were well seasoned and tasty. I was surprised. This was some of the most flavorful well seasoned Mediterranean food I've ever tasted. I was impressed with the fried chicken and baked tilapia. I also really enjoyed the spicy hummus. I'm not really big on sweets but my coworkers did give the sweets a thumbs up. I'd recommend this spot if someone is looking for an ethnic buffet and I know it was a ideal location for people celebrating Ramadan and breaking their fast.

( reminded of the Ali baba rice back in the dallas days. If you know you know.). The dish in the photos was a beautifully seasoned grilled beef served with a fresh white-bean salad -- tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, herbs and greens. The beans were tender, the vegetables fresh and crisp, with mild seasoning. Simple ingredients, but very well done. The baklava was unlike the typical small pieces I'm used to seeing -- a generous portion with beautiful layers of flaky pastry, a rich nutty filling, and a chocolate topping. It had some milky weirdness? Sweet and indulgent, especially with the hot tea alongside it. A very enjoyable Sunday afternoon meal. Fresh flavors, generous portions, and definitely worth coming back for. Service was Ok. Looked like a quick rush , yet they were not new to it. No mistakes. Sharp and clean.

We had to ask for the Chef, to compliment him personally, and he was an absolute delight to meet. He personally recommended the Baklava along with another dessert that had us licking the plate! This place is certainly an authentic Mediterranean dining experience. Can't wait to return!!

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!
