The restaurant is located in the Midwood section of Brooklyn. They prepare Turkish cuisine. They have a nice variety of appetizers, entrees, desserts and beverages. I ordered the ezme appetizer which was mildly spicy. The chicken gyro and salmon shish kebob were tasty. The islander kebob was in a platter with layers of lamb and yogurt on the side. The pita breads were excellent. The food was well-prepared and portions were generous. Friendly and helpful staff.

The experience at Istanbul Kebab House (Ave J) was a letdown from start to finish! The toilet is an absolute travesty—tiny beyond belief, forcing you to squeeze through the door sideways like a contortionist. It screams of sheer indifference to customer comfort, as if they begrudgingly slapped it together just to meet some legal requirement, checking off a box with the bare minimum effort. Inside, it’s a dreary, uninspired mess—cheap, tacky finishes and furniture that look like they were scavenged from a clearance sale. The shawarma? A measly 3 out of 5—bland and forgettable. For real flavor, nothing beats the legendary shawarma from Genatsvale in Brighton Beach; this place doesn’t even come close! Save your time and appetite for somewhere that actually cares.

Food was really great. I felt a bit authenticity of Istanbul. Price was really good and I love the food actually. Enough room for people to seat in there. And I like the way they decorated their meats, just like on a street or in a restuarant at Istanbul. Service was good too. I like the way they made it and it was quick other than the dishes takes longer time to cook. If you live around in Brooklyn, you must try it.
