Istanbul Mediterranean Cuisine & Bar

Food was delicious and the serve was attentive, I just would've liked more pita bread insted of 4 small slices of a pita.

I’m so happy I finally discovered this place. I love Turkish/Mediterranean food but most of the ethnic cuisine places tend to underperform, in my experience. But not this one! My meal was great (doner chicken salad), the rest of the family loved their dishes as well. And baklava is the real deal, it literally melts in your mouth. The only one like that was in Istanbul itself. And it was a pleasant surprise to find ayran as one of the drinks they offer. Great place!

The food was OK at best, the lamb chops were definitely good! The Doner plate, meat had no flavor, rice was good, salad was good but the meat was just not worth it...had to add lemon and salt to it to make it decent! Their mixed drinks were really good! Service was awesome! If the food held up to par, we would definitely go back, but unfortunately it was just mediocre. We expected FLAVOR and SPICE at the very least! Wings were over cooked, meat had been sitting in a warmer for at least a few hours and was NOT FRESH! We went here because of the reviews and we were added disappointed!

I finally got a chance to come here...it's amazing.
Got a Doner plate, a coffee, and a Kazandibi
TL;DR: Big portions for the price, deliciousness in every dish Ive bought so far. I highly recommend stopping by for some Doner.

Doner plate - Rice was well cooked, had a lovely balanced taste on its own, the Doner meat was delicious and mixed with the rice it was amazing. (Adding a lil tzatziki and feta enhances it further in every bite). Not to mention the big portion of food you get is a huge plus

Coffee was great, I never had Turkish coffee before so I didn't know what to expect but it was a pleasantly smooth coffee, the bitterness was that of a dark chocolate which is a big plus for me.

And the Kazandibi? Yes, I've only had a few bites due to being full from the main food but boy is it delicious.

This place rules. From the service to the food, everything was on point. The flavors were great and everyone in my party loved their dishes! Small disclaimer: No actual Turkey options, just chicken.

I have to say this was an all around amazing experience. The food was incredible (ground lamb and chicken kebobs). Meat was seasoned perfectly and cooked excellent, rice was moist and tasty, and the salad fresh and flavorful. Had a Turkish coffee to top it off and enjoyed ever sip.

The service was top notch. Ambience was great even when busy. People clearly love this place and I see why.

One of the best meals and experiences that I have had on a long time.

I will be bringing back friends, family, and colleagues here for meals.

Can’t wait to try the desert next time too!

All the staff in the restaurant are friendly. I would like to thank the owner of the restaurant, Mr.

I like the food, but the portions are huge, that make unappealing, the size of the rice uff, the plates overboard,even the appetizers.

Wow! My wife took me here for my birthday. The lamb kabob and the beef kabob are spectacular. The beef was tender, and the lamb was cooked perfectly. My 1 year old daughter loved the beef. The jasmine rice was a great addition to the kabob dish. The Doner plate was delicious. The sarma was flavorful and just what I expected from a Mediterranean restaurant. The tzaziki and hummus were perfect. If you had to take a shot every time we said, "This is so good," during our meal, you'd be black out drunk. I'm going back ASAP!

Kid-friendliness: My daughter had a high chair furnished by the restaurant and she was a bit fussy so we walked circles in the lobby with no problem.

I'm Turkish - American, and I assure you, this place does NOT serve Turkish food. Furthermore, it is not even good food. I'm embarrassed. There should be some moral standards on restaurants when it's come to claim something but do something else. That is exactly why I'm writing this comment.
We ordered Iskender Kebab which is beef and sometimes lamb mixture that cooks on a vertical rotisserie. It has to be (!) rib, rib-eye for the cut of beef due to its correct fat amount and tenderness, and if it's being used, it should be lamb leg for the same reasons.
Whole idea of this type of kebab is to get super fine flakes of meat that one side cooked from the flame and the other side is medium after being "shaved" from the rotisserie. Imagine shawarma but superiorly thin and tender and only one side is browned and crisped if it make sense. But, unfortunately, we get very thick "chopped" pieces of tough/chewy/greasy bad version of Carna Asada meat that cooked on a pan or a skillet until its completely tough and unpleasant.
The type of kebab needs to be served on top of Pide bread which is spongy - a bit thick Flatbread and there should be really good tomato sauce on top of the meat. They, unfortunately used store bought/machine make pita or something that was super thin and too tough to absorb any meat juice. The tomato sauce was not tomato sauce but a tomato paste sauce that was so unpleasant.
Also, at the end, it should be some boiling hot browned butter that added after served by a server at the table. Of course they didn't such a thing, instead the tomato sauce was super greasy and had zero butter taste.
An other shock was that they - who knows why - served that meat with green beans. Like what?? Excuse me, what cuisine is that?
As a Turkish person it hurts me to see this failure of representation.

Fantastic food! Very friendly people and a nice room.
Huge portion and flat out delicious!
