Everything was amazing! Mehmet provided outstanding service, he was friendly, attentive, and checked on us often with a warm smile. He made us feel truly welcome from start to finish. The food was excellent as well, definitely one of the best places in the Charlotte metro area so far. We’ll absolutely be back!

This place far exceeded our expectations! The decor is beautiful, service outstanding and food like nothing we've had before. Our waiter was kind and attentive, taking extra time to answer our menu questions and make suggestions for dessert.

We wanted to try something different so we stopped into Constantine’s. The service was outstanding!! The food was excellent!!! We ordered the lamb casserole and one of the kababs. For dessert we tried the baklava. Hands down the best baklava we’ve ever had. The Turkish coffee was excellent. This will be a regular stop for us in the future. I simply cannot recommend Constantine’s enough!!!! A MUST try!
