I recently dined at Cafe Istanbul, and it was an outstanding experience! The authenticity of the Turkish cuisine here is impressive, with every dish showcasing rich and vibrant flavors that are true to tradition. The staff were extremely friendly and provided excellent service throughout my visit. The cafe itself was immaculate, with a clean and cozy ambiance.

It's been a while since I've been here but net with a friend for lunch and wasn't disappointed. The service was prompt and attentive but not intrusive. We both opted for the lunch portions of the chicken with small side salad. I also got the hummus, which I had hoped came with bread or veggies but didn't. That was my only let down. Other than that, the chicken had great flavor and portions were perfect for lunch.

Hummus $7.95 Pureed chickpeas with a hint of garlic, tahini, fresh lemon juice and olive oil.

Cafe Istanbul at Easton is a delightful departure from the hustle of the town center into a mediterranean meal, especially on their palatial patio. The offer complimentary bread with oil which was so good we ate it all plus more with our hummus appetizer. They also have an extensive cocktail list and many seafood and vegetarian options. I ordered the swordfish kabobs and my husband got their Kafka dinner plate and both were flavorful and fresh. The service was also very polite and quick. The only thing of note is that if you have a gift card it has to be used at that specific location. We received a gift from the Dublin location not realizing it couldn't be used at Easton but now we just have an excuse to go back!

Very inviting atmosphere, friendly service. Good food, the menu selection is large with kebabs served either with rice and veggies or with yogurt and tomato sauce w bread. The portions are very hefty, worth your while to come here!

Charm and style. One of the more cozier places to dine in even though there are two large rooms to be seated in. It is easy to get lost in conversation without realizing the other patrons. That's the style cafe Istanbul gives you. This place holds a bit of charm that the waiters carry with them. Always eager to help and recommend any of their fine dishes. There is a separate drink menu listing a variety of cocktails and Turkish wines. A must try. I ordered the lamb and was delighted with my choice. I will warn you though, the bread your served can be a meal of it's own washed in fine oil and herbs. I am putting cafe Istanbul on a short list of favorites I will continue to return too.

It was my first time here and was excited to try everything. There's plenty of parking around the plaza. Seating is plenty, but felt a bit cramped. The restaurant is beautiful, so warm and welcoming. We got the Moussaka and Sauteed Lamb. The dipping sauce and bread was phenomenal, it was delicious and a good starter to the meal, and you can taste the saffron and herbs. The Moussaka was made well and delicious. It was a pretty big cut and was very good. The Sauteed Lamb was made very well and flavorful. The lamb was tender and the peppers were soft and crunchy. Overall, the meal was great and filling. It came with rice and with the bread, it was overall enough for two people. I felt like the flavors were balanced and flavorful, delicious and tasty. Staff was very kind and accommodating. Staff checked on us multiple times and provided us with great service. They let us know that every meal could be made vegetarian and that's really nice for dietary needs. I would recommend this place for a great authentic meal, great service, and delicious food.
