We’ve had Mediterranean food at many different restaurants but this was one of the best. The Lahmacun (Turkish pizza) was delicious as well as the Bronzino and risotto. The entire wait staff was extremely friendly to everyone who was there to dine in or pick up carry out. Highly recommend.
We wanted a different cuisine for the holidays and Cafe Istanbul delivered. The food and service was excellent. We had the octopus and risotto both entrees were delicious.
The appetizer sampler plate was so filling that we almost didn't order anything else--but we managed a couple more things. Food was great, and the service was non intrusive--like dining in Europe, the servers gave us space and time to enjoy our meal.
