If you’re looking for a truly authentic Turkish dining experience, look no further than Istanbul Grill. From the moment you walk in, the staff provides exceptionally warm and attentive service that instantly makes you feel like family. Of course, the main event is the food, and the Mix Grill is a definite showstopper. This generous platter features a succulent selection of perfectly seasoned lamb, chicken, and Adana kebabs, all fresh and bursting with authentic flavor. Every bite was tender, juicy, and left us wanting more. Save room for dessert because the baklava is simply divine. With its flaky, buttery layers and sweet, nutty filling, it’s the perfect sweet ending to an already perfect meal. Some have even called it "the most epically delicious baklava ever". If you love incredible food paired with top-tier hospitality, do yourself a favor and visit Istanbul Grill. You will not be disappointed.

This place has been awesome for 27 years. It will close in mid July of 2026, so go now! Shown here is Iskender kebab, Turkish coffee, baklava, apple tea, and the owner chatting up all the customers, but everything here is awesome.

Nice dining… Last weekend we went to this Turkesh restaurant for dinner. This place has an indoor area as well as a covered outdoor patio. They offered fabulous complimentary hot bread paired with a savory herbed dipping oil. We ordered Turkish tea and coffee. Our server was friendly and attentive. The food serving time was not too long. We started with Lahmacun, followed by Yogurtlu Adana and Sultan Kebab for our main course. We enjoyed the meal, but the yogurt and tomato sauce combination was a little sharp for our palate. I loved their Turkish baked rice pudding. Overall, we had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. Since on-site and street parking were unavailable during peak hours, we opted for the Rice Village garage.

My husband and I visited this weekend, and overall it was a mixed experience. The service was absolutely fabulous, waitress was so nice and the place itself is beautiful. We sat outside on the patio, enjoyed the lovely weather, and really appreciated the nice décor and ambiance. However, the food didn’t meet our expectations. We’ve had better Turkish food at other places, and unfortunately, the dishes we tried here were just okay. Some of the food arrived cold and lacked flavor, which was disappointing. While the atmosphere and service were excellent, the food quality could definitely be improved.

A nice Turkish restaurant. The service was great, especially Ms. Kaila made it exceptional, she was so pro. The speed of the kitchen was also good, no need to wait long. And the taste was very well, at least I can suggest red lentil, lahmacun, mix grill, baklava and Maras Ice cream.
