“Traveling from Arizona, I didn't know what to expect and found this gem right across from Public Market, it blew me away!! The Turkish coffee is absolutely amazing and a must have. Also the baklava is on another level! A must stop for anyone visiting Seattle, the owners are also some of the nicest people I've met.“
“We stumbled upon this magical little gem when looking for a quick dinner with good food, some ambience and outdoor dining option. There are only a few things on the menu, all Turkish fare. We tried the Pide and dumplings and they were incredible. Our 10 month old also loved it. The young woman running the restaurant was delightful and really made the experience all the more wonderful. We will definitely be back.“
“The atmosphere is inviting and the staff very welcoming and friendly. I did not have to wait long for my order and it was the best lamb I've ever had. Perfectly seasoned in the rice platter. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also a great portion and another thing I liked is that the chef asked if I would like freshly squeezed lemonade instead of the limonata I ordered. Nice touch. The dessert was off the menu but deserves a mention. Excellent chocolate cake! Will definitely come back when visiting Seattle.“
“Playlist was tops. Food is absolutely delectable. Made to order and served up in very generous portions. The vast array of complimenting flavors, textures and aromas made my palette very happy. Service is genuine and friendly. The ambiance was special. I highly recommend this bistro!“
“This is one of the good restaurants with delicious Turkish style food. The amount of food is small, but it is delicious and tastes good. The atmosphere of this restaurant is actually part of the food court of the Crossroads Mall in Bellevue.“
“Turkish pide is now something I will look for, thanks to Istanbul Cuisine in Bellevue, WA. The taste, texture, aroma, and presentation of their pide was WOW! Everything about it was delightful and balanced - every bite was delicious! We also love their Ciq Kofte and Kunefe - rich and satisfying! A must try for those who seek well-made food.“
“Small counter service restaurant. Not really any seating (they have a couple small tables outside but thats it) so it's really meant for take out. I ordered a beef and lamb sandwich and a beef and lamb plate. Food was ready super quickly (under 5 min at 12:45pm on a weekday). When I came in to pick up, the two people working the counter were very friendly. The food is good especially for the price in this part of town. I think the best part was the bread: it was substantial enough not to disintegrate, but still soft and not tough at all. The meat was fine; it could be a little more flavorful but it wasn't bad. The portion of meat could be a little bigger, so if you're super hungry order double, but for the price I think it was fair.“
“Hubby and I decided to go out on a impromptu date. Had seen some glowing reviews of the Turkish restaurant and gave it a try. Was delighted with the decor and fast service. The portion we ordered was enough for two though we had to order extra rice. Spacious with two seats facing each other giving privacy to the diners. Would go back again!“
