First thing I say when we walk in, "OMG this place smells AMAZING!!", and tasted even better!
Best falafel and gyro I've ever had!!
I like that the falafel is patties instead of balls like most places. It was cooked perfectly..crispy crunchy on the outside, soft and almost cake-like on the inside. You get 4 cakes to the order plus pita bread, cucumbers and tomatoes.
The gyro is HUGE!! I couldn't even pick it up to try and eat it until I ate some of the meat...read full review

Do it! The food is amazing!
This was my first-time having Turkish food. I ordered the platter, I didnt realize it came with a salad, but was happy to see it. The salad was very fresh and good. The rice and minced spicy lamb was great. Everything was good.

Istanbul Mediterranean Cuisine & Bar in Tucson offers delicious food with amazing seasoning, like the dober mixed with spicy chicken. Homemade falafel is a must-try, and the Doner wrap is perfect for a hearty meal. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, a large bar with wine, and plenty of parking. The dimly lit atmosphere feels inviting, and the service is great. Customers praise the big portions for the price, with dishes like the Doner plate and Turkish coffee being highly recommended. The baklava is described as melting in the mouth, and ayran is offered as a drink.
The restaurant's atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful Turkish lamps creating a cozy and authentic feel. The food is the real star, with the hummus being creamy, the pita warm and soft, and the traditional Turkish tea the perfect accompaniment. The red lentil soup is rich in flavor and comforting, while the other dishes are equally impressive. The restaurant is a perfect stop for those on a road trip, offering authentic flavors and great hospitality.
