food is juicy 😋 you have to try.
I love Istanbul Shish Kabob! The best middle eastern food in Charleston! You have to try the Dubai Chocolate - it is SO GOOD I had an entire bar by myself 😋
Absolutely love the chicken shawarma and hands down best pita and tzatziki! My husband got the lamb kabobs and falafel and it was delicious as well.

Based on the reviews, Istanbul Shish Kabob Restaurant (Halal) offers a mix of experiences. The food receives high praise, with specific meals like the chicken kafta, baba ganoush, stuffed grape leaves, lamb chops, lamb kebab, and chicken kebab being described as delicious or amazing. The Turkish coffee is super strong and excellent. However, some dishes fell short; the lamb chop bones were charred black from the fire, the rice was dry and bland, the salad lacked flavor and seasoning, and the Tahini salad was a bland watered down version. The service is inconsistent. Some reviewers found the customer service phenomenal and the waitress excellent, noting she brought fresh hot Turkish bread. Others experienced a disappearing waitress and a server with a bad attitude. The atmosphere is good, warm, and not too noisy. Despite some issues, many call this their go-to for takeout, their favorite restaurant in North Charleston, and a place where the whole family loves to eat. It is described as one of the best meals ever, with food that feels like family.
