    I recently had an amazing dining experience at Istanbul Grill, and I can’t say enough about the quality of both the food and the service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, ensuring that every detail was perfect and that we had everything we needed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with an authentic vibe that made the experience even better. As for the food—simply outstanding. Every dish was bursting with flavor, from the appetizers to the main courses. The kebabs were perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned just right, while the hummus and pita were fresh and delicious. The quality and attention to detail in each dish were evident, making it clear that the chefs take great pride in their work. I’ve now dined here twice in a row and had exceptional experiences both times. If you’re looking for a spot with fantastic service and food that truly stands out, I highly recommend Istanbul Grill. Can’t wait for my next visit!

    The menu was very limited. What they offer in the website looks more fancy than the real place
