Halal Reviews for Istanbul Mediterranean Paradise

During thanksgiving break, we stayed at Horseshoe Hotel. In front of the entrance , there are many shops, and one of them is Istanbul Mediterranean Restaurant (Halal). It’s a popular place with a line of people waiting. We ordered the chicken doner wrap and the mixed doner rice bowl, and they were so tasty and fresh that we went back and ordered again on another night. A good spot to eat if you’re nearby.

A couple of my coworkers had good things to say about this place. I went here for dinner one night and I found the food to be pretty tasty. The beef and lamb wrap was filling and had plenty of fresh vegetables. Nothing soggy or past its prime. The chiktofe was a new experience. I found it had a spicy sauce and tasted like it had the consistency of mashed chickpeas. Still, it was pretty good. Overall, I was satisfied. I’d be willing to give this place another try.

The line was long but it sort of moved quickly. I ordered a beef and lamb doner salad bowl. For the price, I got this gigantic portion that can easily last 2-3 meals. For this being on the strip, the price was cheap for how much you get. People that say this is overpriced forget that they’re getting food on the strip versus in the suburbs. The shawarma is not the best I’ve had but it was decent. It filled that hunger feeling. I got better value here than at Gordon Ramsay’s Fish and Chips. Overall, I would give this a 4. The meat quality is a 3. Like I said, on the strip everything is overpriced but this is one of the better deals if you don’t want to eat expensive American food.

Staff were really nice and the food is SO worth it. Averaging $15–20 the serving sizes are very generous, honestly good for two people. Food is made fresh in front of you 10/10.

I tried Istanbul Mediterranean Restaurant and the experience was very good. I tried both the chicken and the meat, and they were well cooked, flavorful, and very filling. The quality of the food really stands out. Based on the menu, the prices are reasonable and fair, especially for the portion size and quality you get—not cheap, but definitely worth it. The location is very convenient and the place is comfortable overall. A solid choice and I’d happily come back again. 🍽️✨
