Halal Reviews for Cafe Istanbul

The vibes were really nice and the music was lovely too. The staff were super quick and really friendly. The food was nice too - my wife and I were on a date and it felt lovely. I will say that the meal was incredibly expensive for what we got though. The portions were great but, for this price, I'd expect the flavour to blow me away. It tasted nice but didn't have me screaming for more again. I'd definitely still come back again but maybe I'll choose something different to test the waters.

Iskender (lamb) very tender and tasty. The first time I came here and enjoyed the experience. Friendly staff and I felt like in Bucharest where we have a lot of such Turkish restaurants! Congratulations, it was tasty. Price for menu @50e per person.

I am sure Turkish chefs can cook the food much better! I like vegetarian musakka in general but the one in the photo was not the best one and I wouldn’t go there again for this food. And one more thing… Whenever I go to this restaurant alone as a woman, I feel uncomfortable because I feel some eyes are on me and I actually catch some of the staff members eyes on me. Not all of them but some of them make me feel uncomfortable. I give this restaurant one chance every year and I’m still not a fan of the restaurant as a Turkish. So I only go there once a year and hope it will be better one day soon. Note: I met one of the restaurant’s managers last year and he was very kind. Hope the restaurant’s managers will improve the things I mentioned.

A wonderful experience at Cafe Istanbul! The food and service were divine, and the atmosphere was perfect. It's an ideal spot for an evening with family and friends

We had a brilliant meal, the staff were so friendly, the food was amazing.
