cafe istanbul

went here for very  late lunch and  theplacewas completely empty .ambiance is nice and we opted to sit in portico. ordered turkish coffee which we never miss in any turkish restaurant and lahmacun. coffee was good and lahmacun is like turkis pizza which was freshly made ,light and tasted amazing.

we hit thisplaceon a friday night just for a casual dinner but theplacewas unexpectedly deserted. we were among the only few people visiting this cafe which kind of took us aback! the food was pretty average and dint take too long to be served! ambience was again moderate. would recommend thisplaceonly if you are craving turkish food !!

i really enjoy thisplacefor eating out and it never disappoints whether its a quick meet up with colleagues or pleasure eating

also to mention staff is very helpful and nice and take care of any queries or requests

please avoid this place! not only do they charge enormous for their small plates, they also goof up on the final check. thisplaceis a rip-off!

very rude and terrible service. our food came incomplete and when we pointed this out, the waiter, instead of correcting the order, stated "i don't know, i've only worked here one month." then overcharged us for the food and drinks. we didn't want to say anything but all 6 of us were slightly offended. the owner just ignored us then dropped $15 cash on the table and said "there!" this is somewhat funny because we paid with credit cards and he still overcharged! who charges extra for filling your coffee cup, honey in the middle of the platter as advertised, and sends out incomplete orders. it's ok because we got a good laugh out of it, but that's not how you stay in business of have people come back. this is actually sad because theplacewas otherwise relatively empty anyway and we were saying that's a shame because the food wasn't that bad.

very nice in all ways. my wife and i went here for valentines day in 2009, right after they opened (someone, cough, cough) forgot to get a reservation for the big day and since they had recently opened we were able to get in. i was a bit tentative because i don't have extensive experience with this kind of food, but the service and the food was great. i have been back a couple of times and have had a good time on each occasion. we were also surprised by the quality of the cocktails from the very small bar, but they were excellent. (don't get me started on the perfect martini.) thisplaceis worth a try, especially when it is warm enough to sit outside.
