Everything about our experience at Istanbul Grill was splendid! The service was magnificent. The staff were as warm as the delicious breads and super friendly! They've made the best out it the space. Although it isn't very large, the tables are spaced well, so guests aren't on top of each other. The decor is lovely with traditional Turkish design touches. The food is wonderfully delightful. The complimentary bread is beautiful and tasty. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked and smelled mouth watering. The tasty didn't disappoint by any measure. The lamb kebab cooked perfectly. The doner which is Turkish gyro was incredible. Nothing like what's serviced at other restaurants. The rice was flavored well and the vegetables were fresh. The beyti is highly recommended. This authentic Turkish cuisine will not disappoint, so don't over look this little gem!!! I pray they do well and expand!

Legit Turkish food in New Orleans...finally! I would give them 5 stars if the prices weren't 2-3 times higher for most of the menu than they should be. That said, it's all good. The Lamaçun is great and authentic. A rare find in the US, and at $8 is a good value. I wish they offered a German style döner in addition to their more expensive döner plates. Service is fast and friendly. Restaurant is simple and more fitting to take out than dine in, but it's all clean and well kept. I really hope these guys stick around (and add German style döners!).

I ordered dinner (UberEats) from a new spot tonight and WOW.... Istanbul Grill is special! The Lahmacun is kind of like Turkey's version of pizza; a crispy flatbread with seasoned ground beef and lamb. It was served with fresh tomatoes and parsley and lemon and it's one of my new favorites... sooo delicious and perfect for a meal or late night snack! The red lentil soup was mild but tasty. I got two kinds of house bread plus kibbie (which was a bit different from the Lebanese kibbie I'm used to, but still delicious)! Topped it all off with the most decadent baklava ever! I'm truly trying not to eat it all in one sitting! The portion sizes are generous, looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! Highly recommend you give Istanbul Grill a try (they really need social media accounts)!

Delicious food, friendly staff, clean restaurant and restrooms. Authentic Mediterranean/Turkish cuisine. The first time I've had Turkish coffee and kunefe in years. My family and I will definitely be back when in the area!

I've been here four times so far. Each visit was good and food was very good. My only thought is it may be somewhat overpriced on a number of things but that's just the way it is around here. The best value at Istanbul Grill is the lunch specials. At $17 I felt the offerings shown in my photo was generous and it did include soup (not shown) The Kafta kabob was well seasoned and perfectly grilled.The breads they make are exceptional. I had a dessert on one occasion the Kunefe which is one my all time favorites. HOWEVER, it wasn't good - barely any cheese and nowhere near the quality I've had at another place on the West Bank. Overall though food alone, it. Very good, tasty and satisfying. Ownership and service very good, and the space is bright and comfortable. Good ambiance.

My wife and I ate lunch at Istanbul Grill and were very impressed with the service, staff, cleanliness, but especially the food. The Liver appetizer was well presented and very delicious. We also had the falafel appetizer which was surrounded by hummus and well presented. For our entree, we had the Guvec Kampama which was very tasty with its mix of tender beef, vegetables topped with a thin pastry layer over the dish. We finished off with Kazandibi, Baklavas, and some refreshing Ayran (yogurt drink) and Turkish tea.I recommend trying this place for the food, atmosphere and friendly staff.
