Istanbul Bay offers a delightful dining experience with great food and consistent quality. The menu features a variety of authentic Turkish dishes, including chicken kebabs, salmon kebabs, hummus, baba ghanoush, and tabouli, all praised for their freshness and flavor. Kebabs, cheese pie, and fried liver are solid choices. The staff are warm, welcoming, and active, providing super nice service, though some reviews mention the staff can be mediocre, untrained, unmotivated, not friendly or attentive. They are known to offer free desserts, big bottles of sauces, and even complimentary tea. Istanbul Bay is a hidden gem with great prices, though some reviews note an awkward and messy atmosphere, with a musty indoor space and dirty stairwell and restroom. The outdoor area can be chaotic. They are a place that takes responsibility, with managers and cashiers offering to remake orders free of charge.
