Istanbul Restaurant is my new favorite place! I've wanted to explore Turkish food for a while and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend. Everything I've eaten here has been for lunch, and has been fresh, tasty, and well-priced. Service was incredibly friendly and kind. They've done a great job in creating a nice, easygoing atmosphere with a mix of Turkish decor and music. A lot of options are vegetable-heavy with good protein. So far: - The cold mix is awesome! Really nice mix of 6 or 7 dips and grape leaves. Great diversity of flavors, and probably the best baba ganouj I've ever had. Pair them with the pide bread they bring you. - The kofte kabab (lamb and beef) was cooked perfectly. Moist and with great flavor in the seasoning. The pilaf it comes with is also seasoned well. And you get haydari (similar to tzatziki) to dip the kabab in, which is a nice creamy complement to the meat. - The lahmacun (beef) had a great depth flavor. It's kind of like a really thin crust, personal-sized pizza in some ways. Great for dipping in the haydari, or the oil/herb mix that comes with the table bread (pide). - The table bread, called pide, is really soft, even after coming home with me and sitting in the fridge for a day or two. - The baklava and teas are also great. I really like the amount of tea they give you because it's a smaller glass that's nicer than a big mug after such a hearty meal. (And also, who doesn't like a cute little glass?) :)

Nice place for a Mediterranean lunch. The cold platter in the appetizers is great. The Their Turkish coffee and orange tea are great. The bread is the most softer and delicious!
