One of the best restaurants serving Turkish and Mediterranean dishes. We came here for my son’s birthday and enjoyed the flavors. An excellent place either for a family dinner or just a date night.

They care deeply about your experience. I can name very few restaurants that have perfected that warm, welcoming, home-like feel. This is hospitality!

The intention behind everything– service, atmosphere and especially the food is undeniable.

This was my order/what I highly recommend:
the falafel appetizer - the outer shell had the best crunch, while the inside was spiced perfectly. I loved that it wasn't too dry.
chicken shawarma wrap - generous portions. the lightly charred, flavorful chicken and sauce to hold it all together sent me over the moon. Each bite was enjoyable. Id love to learn to make shawarma like this one day. Compliments to the chef!
vegetables - usually I don't include this but I'm tired of boring loveless steamed veggies at restaurants. I know it's small but It makes a difference when youre somewhat health conscious.
moscow mules - so refreshing!! One of the best no joke

Will be back to try more at this location! I know I've barely skimmed the surface

We normally go to Cafe Istanbul at Easton Town location. This is the first time we had a birthday dinner at the Dublin location and the restaurant is a lot nicer than Easton location and food and service was great. The only problem was finding parking space was difficult. Other than that everything was great.

This has been one of my favorite restaurants in the area for years. The smokey babaganosh, the lentil soup, and the dipping sauce are all delicious. Great atmosphere and location.

Ok I've came here for a long time. It use to be great food and service and atmosphere.
Atmosphere is good yet cold around the window outside, along with the to loud of music playing. If it was comings from multiple speakers it might be ok but one and to loud no.
Service use to be great and spot on. Now they are there to get a tip and nothing more it seems. Was brought 1 coke the whole meal, should not have to ask. Plates and things accumulate on a table and if empty should be removed!! Also no one likes a condescending attitude or a what do you want attitude yet thats what it has come to be.
Food use to be good and priced well with proportion right. Now prices are beyond to high for most things. Lambmajoon for example $24 for 3 pieces of bread with meat spread all over it. So basically you're paying $12 per piece or bread with very little meat on it. Kabob use to be bigger and more moisture and flavor. Combination Kabob you get a small little piece of adona Kabob and and 2 small pieces of lamb. Vegetables lacked flavor. No salt on table. I would give it a 5 but it lacks some things and attention to detail. Should not pay employees and do the shrinkflattion to us customers. Also I left a $4 tip do to that. $120 spent in a restaurant for a couple I expect quality for my money, not just a view.

The chicken kabob was very dry
The rest of the food was mediocre and portions were very small
The prices were too high

I LOVE this restaurant. The food is so fresh and delicious and the bread is perfection! The oil that the bread comes with is out of this world and the falafel is so moist yet crisp and flavorful. I could eat this everyday. Thank you!

Delicious! Had the kebabs, the lamb chops and the shrimp. Everything was so delicious, the view of the river was so nice and the ambiance of the restaurant was on point. Solid date spot.

This was reasonably good experience of Turkish cuisine. I cannot give it 5 star, because I had great food in Istanbul.

Everything is good but the prices.
Too expensive. How can you charge that amount for a simple Lahmacun. Harbiden yuh yani.
