Istanbul Grill is truly a hidden gem in Newark. This family-owned Turkish restaurant serves incredibly generous portions, but what really stands out is the love and care that goes into every dish. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with pride. Beyond the food, the staff are exceptionally kind, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel more like a guest in their home than a customer. A must-visit spot for anyone looking for great food and genuine hospitality.

Such a nice local gem! The kebabs were super tasty and full of flavor. Everyone was really friendly and polite, which made the experience even better. Will definitely come back again.

Our go too whenever we have company coming over. Their chicken Shawerma meal is my personal favorite the sauce and chicken have a rich flavor and amazing taste.

Usually we order to go the restaurant can get super busy, and they share an entrance with a smoke shop. Their meals are big and easily feed more than one person.

The staff are nice and friendly we’ve eaten here a few times and everyone is just willing to help you, and make you feel...
