Istanbul Shish Kabob Restaurant (Halal)

Visiting from San Antonio TX came across this gem of a spot. I've lived and visited other parts of the world. Eaten a lot of Mediterranean style foods. Honestly wasn't expecting much but blown away on how much I enjoyed this simple meal of lamb kabob wraps and a side shrimp skewers. The complimentary appetizer plate and bread was a nice touch. The Turkish tea during the meal was good and finished with a great Turkish coffee. Highly recommend food and service was excellent. Yes, the atmosphere a little dated but don't let that deter you. The service is excellent both waitresses that served me were very friendly and attentive. I'll be back.

This place rocks! Probably the best middle eastern food I’ve had in the Charleston area and at an incredible value. Food is so flavorful and with large portions for the price. What impressed me was real burning coals to cool the Kofta and kabobs, as well as fresh, off the spit shawarma. The starting bread was delicious, fresh hummus, my lamb shawarma plate with salad and rice was to die for, enough for 2, and 16.99. As far as I am concerned, when in the area why eat anywhere else?

This Turkish restaurant has a quiet and friendly environment offering Halal food in generous portions. The wait staff serve fresh warm pita bread with accoutrements. The beef kabobs were phenomenal and was paired nicely with salad and rice. Definitely a nice sport for a quiet meal with friends or family.

Istanbul Shish Kabab Stumbled onto this little spot while we were out shopping at the outlet mall and let me just say — what a FIND. I’m a serious kabab lover, and y’all… this is hands-down the best kebab I’ve had in a long time. From the second you walk in, the team greets you like you’re family. Big smiles, warm energy, and that cozy “sit down and stay awhile” vibe. It feels less like a restaurant and more like Sunday dinner at someone’s house where everybody takes care of you. They start you off with a small spread for the table — a crisp corn slaw, tangy yogurt, briny green olives — the perfect little bites while you wait. But let’s talk about that bread… The pita comes out fresh and puffed, toasted right before it hits your table. Hot, soft, slightly sweet, and pillowy. Tear one

The taste of tge food was good. We ordered mix grill for 3 person and we could not finish it due to the big portion of kebob and rice and salad. I liked the place and recommended.
