Istanbul - Turkish & Greek Cuisine

That was incredible! I've been wanting Turkish food lately but haven't been able to make it happen (we are traveling in an RV). We stayed a few nights at Gamble Rogers and decided to hit up Istanbul on a whim. What a treat! We got the family style appetizer for four and family style meal for two with added lamb shanks and Iskender- little, little, put it on the middle! I don't even know what all we ordered- it was so much food! Somer was a wonderful host and waiter- he explained what everying was and we so much fun. The absolute best lamb shanks I've ever had. Everything was wonderful. Thank you, Somer, for a wonderful meal! Next time we are here we will be back! I forgot to get pics before so here are pics of the aftermath!

This is a cozy restaurant off the main road. Sonnell is the owner and waiter the food is delicious. We had shakshuka eggplan (exquisite), lentil soup (very good), grape leaves (excwllent), falafel and the best was the kubide. The meat was juicy and tender and very well seasoned. We also shared a delicious salad.

Genuinely some of the most delicious food Ive ever had in my entire life the waiter is kind, patient, has a wonderful sense of humor, and gives excellent service. He is very attentive and you can tell that the regulars love coming here. The restaurant is very homely and clean and there is a lot of love and passion put into the food and the atmosphere. Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for good food and place to take a moment and relax from your day!

Food was really nice. Service was friendly and welcoming. Always appreciate Meditteranean cuisine! We had two lunch specials ($12.99 each): Doner/Gyro and Adana (ground lamb skewer)- both were good and decent lunch portion w/2 sides- and a nice variety of sides to choose from - Greek fries, Regular fries, salads, rice, etc. We plan to return to try other options. Parking was a bit limited. I thought the exterior of the building looked cutev and homey.

Amazing Food with authentic Turkish taste! No words to express how good the food, service and atmosphere was. It reminded me of dinner I had in Turkey after years. 🤩❤️❤️❤️❤ Extremely beat in class, tender and juicy Mix Grill Platter. Never had it anywhere in USA so far. I think this restaurant will bring me back from Charlotte, NC again and soon. Highly recommended to all the food lovers.
