Café 34 Istanbul

★★★★☆ 3.8 (753) • $$

"I came here before the Chris Brown concert for some food & hookah. It was very hot & stuffy inside but they do have fans all over. The inside area where the bathroom area is air conditioned but not the same vibe. The food and hookah was really good! I would definitely come back here and recommend it."

"Food is amazing the staff is amazing the place lacks decorations but it's clean and the food speaks for itself...prices are on point for what you get and every dish I have had is great would highly recommend it. I drive 1 hour once a month just to eat here"

Zeytin Turkish Cuisine

★★★★★ 4.8 (249) • $$

"My experience at Zeytin Turkish Cuisine was good! We stumbled upon this restaurant on a Friday night and sat at the bar until a table opened up. The inside was intimate and cozy with only a handful of tables. Our server was welcoming and nice and offered recommendations from the menu. We split a bottle of wine for $20 (great deal) and started with the lavas ($4.95) with mix of babaganush, hummus, and sautéed eggplant dips.For our main course, I had the turkey sausage pide ($24.95), it reminded me of flatbread pizza! It was savory and delicious. My friend had the mousakka ($26.95) which was similar to lasagna.Overall, it was more expensive than what I was expecting upon walking in but the food was delicious! I plan on coming back in the future!"

Flame Kabob

★★★★☆ 4.1 (310) • $$

"We stopped here for lunch and decided to eat outside, as it was too beautiful to be indoors. There were some communication issues, as the waitress' English didn't seem to be too perficient, but we worked with it. Her enthusiasm, or lack thereof, for her position, was more of the concern. But again, it was a beautiful day, and we weren't in a rush.The menu options had me salivating. I admit, I was starving, but everything really did look so tasty. It was difficult for me to choose just one thing. We weren't disappointed. The food was fantastic!!! Portion sizes were also very generous, and the prices were reasonable. Definitely recommend this place for great food."

The Dough Show

★★★★★ 4.5 (251) • $$

"I can not say enough good things about this place and my experience! I learned about this restaurant through Instagram and knew I needed to experience the hype. My friend and I visited mid day on a Sunday. We ordered the Beef Shawarma Plate and The Dough Show Pie plus 2 drinks. The price was reasonable. We were given a buzzer and found a table on the far side of the restaurant. We only waited a short time for our food to come out.THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS. YOU NEED THE FOOD FROM HERE. I was in heaven with the flavors. My friend and I split both entrees and still had plenty of leftovers. There was plenty of food for the order. The fries had the perfect crispiness. The beef Shawarma was yummy, and I like how it was cut up and served. This was our first time experiencing a pie like this. There was so much meat and very filling.The customer service was top-notch! We felt so welcomed and like family here. We were checked on and provided extra sauces to go. I'm excited to bring more friends here."

Oh My Gyro

★★★★★ 4.5 (241) • $

"This place was good. I think the gyro was a bit too saucy which isn't something I'd typically complain about, but the sauce was thin and it was a total mess. Otherwise the flavors were there. It could've used a bit more meat too. The fries were seasoned well but they were undercooked and just warm. The samosas were great though and had an awesome spicy mint sauce with them. I'd eat here again but they could definitely button up their menu items to make them stand out against the other local joints. They are in a teeny strip mall right on 434 and were pretty dead inside. It's not really a place you'd sit in and eat although they have a few tables. It's more of a grab and go ambiance."

Habibi Lebanese Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (304) • $$

"One of the few favorites for everything! They have great food and amazing desserts. The service is always nice and the place is cozy and clean. Highly recommend this to anyone who loves to eat well and healthy and tasty. Just be sure to leave some of their amazing baklava for me!"

The Mediterranean Spot Deli & Gyros

★★★★★ 4.6 (149) • $

"I love good Mediterranean food, and this little place hit the spot. It has a basic, limited menu, and I'd say it's really better for takeout than dining in. But it does have 5 or 6 tables and a clean, casual environment if you decide to eat in.First, we tried a small Hummus, which came with home made Pita bread for $2.99. Flavor was fantastic, and between the two of us, we didn't even finish it all. It came with one pita, cut into quarters. Next time we will order with an extra pita, so we can enjoy all the hummus and not waste a drop. What made this one a little different from others I've had is that this one was nice and creamy, and did not have that tart taste they sometimes do. It was a smooth, creamy flavor that we both enjoyed.Next I had the Chicken Gyro ($6.99). I got through about half of it as the portion size was very good. There were three things specifically that I loved about this gyro. 1. the flavor of the chicken. It was tender, garlicky, with a nice blend of spices. It was outstanding. 2. The pita bread. This was not the cheap, store bought pita that most Mediterranean places use. This was the home made, flavorful, chewy pita that is so hard to find. An ingredient this simple makes all the difference, it really does. Bravo on using REAL pita! 3. The veggies in this Gyro were so crisp and fresh. The sauce was great too. Really the entire combination was a hit for me.My partner had a traditional beef/lamb Gyro. He considers himself a gyro expert, apparently in England (where he is from), gyros are a standard after-you-leave-the-pub food and he has had many. He thought this one was spot on. He got the combo plate for $9.49 which also included fries and a drink (before 2pm). I tried his fries and they were actually really good. I'm sure they were frozen fries, but they were cooked perfectly and had a nice, subtle seasoning. I was relieved that he loved the meal because I can see us stopping by to pick up takeout dinner on the way back to the Space Coast after a day in Orlando.We also had a yelp offer for a free Baklava with a $15 purchase. I really enjoyed it. It was sweet, honey-filled, and nutty without being over the top sweet, so it was great.Again, a simple menu, but fantastic, fresh food. Sometimes you can tell when a place still loves what they do, and you could taste it in this place. They have good attention to detail and they make the effort to create flavorful food."

Darbar Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (238) • $$

"My family and I went in here to enjoy Indian cuisine. I've yet to find Indian food within close proximity to us but this place is phenomenon. The service and food are nothing less than quality. Samosas are great and the chicken Dahlie is absolutely wonderful matched with rice and your favorite naan.Salim gave us great service. He was friendly and extremely attentive. I definitely recommend checking it out!"

Cedar Halal Food & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (130) • $

"Cedar Halah Food is an absolute delight for the senses! From the moment you walk in, the aromatic spices transport you to the heart of the Middle East. The grill platter is a symphony of flavors, featuring tender, perfectly cooked meats infused with traditional spices that dance on your palate with every bite. The portion sizes are generous, ensuring that you leave fully satisfied. What truly sets Cedar Halah apart is their commitment to authenticity and quality. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of Middle Eastern cuisine or a newcomer looking to explore new flavors, Cedar Halah is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!"

Zaman Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (151) • $$

"Came here specifically on the recommendation of a Yelper (and her yummy pictures)! My whole purpose was to try the kunafa, which is an arabic dessert. As someone completely obsessed with middle Eastern food, I was surprised that I never tried this restaurant before.Upon entering, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were greeted, because of the location we assumed it would be very crowded, and although there were a lot of patrons, it kept the homey vibe described in so many reviews. After ordering, I asked if I could have my coffee first, and they gave it to me immediately. But that dessert! The flavors were unmatched, with every one melting pleasantly into the next, followed up with the turkish coffee, I felt as if I was in a dream. My tastebuds were literally soaring!Can't wait to return!!"

Istanbul Grill

★★★★★ 4.7 (83)

"We found this because it was close to the Vacation Village condos were staying at. What a positive experience. We have been to Turkey and love Turkish food, so we were intrigued when we saw good reviews and had to try it out. When you step in its cozy, there's tables and booths, and the decor is perfect, not over the top, but super lovely. The service was fantastic! We were helped with all our questions and our food. The food, oh wow, the food. We got these breads that were fresh and hot and looked like ballons, so good. We enjoyed some starters of hummus and babaganoush. We also got the pizza (sorry I can't remember the true name), and it was served authentically with lemon, and we could roll them up. So good, they were just amazing. It transported me right back to my trip to Turkey 30+ years ago. Then I had a shish kabob platter that was phenomenal. Plenty of food too, we had to take some home. Highly recommend, please eat here! It's so good, and so much food! Great for families."

Halal Food Express

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (161) • $$

"Delicious food and very generous portions! The esposo and I visited Halal Food Express after a very long day in Universal Studios. We were looking for something quick we could just take to the hotel room, and preferably from a local business. We found Halal Food Express on Yelp and decided to give it a try. There was only one person working at the time, but she was very friendly and gave us some great recommendations. I order their chicken platter (chicken with rice and naan bread). The portion was super generous and the food was delicious! It was exactly what I needed after a long day of walking. Another great thing about Halal Food Express is that they offer 10% off your order when you Check-In on Yelp - yay!"

Dave's Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.9 (103) • $$

"Omg! Amazing chicken!! I was blown away by how crispy Dave's chicken was. The chicken is flavored well and the spicy was tolerable. I like their menu as you're able to pick and choose and even Ala cart if needed. The service was effective and the cashiers were very friendly and helped me with my order. Overall, great place to grab and go or enjoy lunch! Will be returning."

Ahmed Indian Grill & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (93) • $$

"Tried the lunch buffet and was very satisfied with dishes offered. Gentleman who seated us was very gentle and kind. Plenty of interior seating in a casual atmosphere. Ahmed is located in a plaza with shared parking. It's situated right next to Panda Express across from the Waterford Lakes Town Center."

Bad Ass Burgers

"Service was great. Burger was off for me. Too much ketchup n mayo to enjoy the burger. The blue cheese didn't taste like blue cheese. Soda was flat."

New Texas Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.5 (108) • $

"So my boydruwwent through the drive-through and the customer service was phenomenal. The gentleman behind the drive-through was incredible and he was super patient while ordering. On the drive home the smell of the food had us salivating. I ordered 15 wings in a sauce mixture of teriyaki and garlic, and my boyfriend ordered cheese fries and a cheese burger. Only got to take pictures of the wings. But the food was amazing. Best wings I've ever had. It was hot and juicy on the inside and it was crispy on the outside. I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone."

Beirut Bakery & Deli

★★★★★ 4.7 (56) • $$

"I love the fresh Lebanese food at Beirut Bakery & Deli. This is a family restaurant using recipes passed down from their grandmother. Step into the restaurant and you are welcomed by the staff, the only problem is deciding what to order.I love the tabouleh and it tastes so much better than you can buy at the grocery store or Mediterranean market. Many times the use of bulgar and olive oil makes this dish heavy. At Beirut they use lots of fresh herbs, tomatoes, lemon and a touch of bulgar. I get the large because it is just perfect.I have also had the baba ghanoush, hummus and mouhamara (red pepper) dips and they are all excellent. I wish they sold a sampler.I have also tried the chicken sandwich, lamb sandwich, kibbeh and baklava. They have an extensive menu of authentic dishes and I haven't had a miss."

"When in Disney area get this awesome food fresh great Mediterranean great size. Great taste. Also they do pizza excellent and I'm from buffalo. We're pizza is on every corner. If you're missing a slice of buffalo pizza go here. I know crazy a Mediterranean place for pizza but trust me how dough is excellent. Ate there 2 yrs in a row definitely a must. ."

Amber Indian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (76) • $$

"My sister and her family took a week trip to Disney recently, so I came and joined them. My sister and I stole away to have lunch, and I wanted to show her Indian food. She had never had it before, can you believe that? So I did a quick search, found Amber, and off we went. The ambiance was pretty ok. It's in the middle of a strip mall. But inside is classic mom 'n' pop Indian place. Desi music, that pungent smell in the air of magnificent spices, everything you need. Service was also great. The guy was very friendly, made good conversation, and the food came out very timely. No issues there.As for the food, I ordered what I thought would be best for an Indian newbie. Some veggie samosas, the butter chicken, a shrimp biryani, and a garlic butter naan. Everything was pretty standard. Nice crisp samosas with a piping hot filling, creamy butter chicken, the quality of the chicken itself was a little questionable, but the curry more than makes up for that, very fragrant and flavorful perfect biryani, I always recommend a biryani, and a delicious warm, crispy naan to eat everything with. What a feast. Overall, if you're looking for basic Indian food and are willing to pay Kissimmee prices, you can't go wrong with Amber. I'd come back."

Taksim Turkish Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (57)

"Wow!!! What a find in Sanford! Authentic small mom and pop shop with delicious food and friendly service!Don't expect fancy, this is anything but! However, if you want delicious home cooked food served with a smile this is your spot! I thought the food was very good, nice portion sizes and lots of flavor. I wouldn't say this is traditional Turkish but more towards street food/halal! Enjoyed our last minute find and will def be back for more! Oh and do yourself a favor... get the baklava! The best I've ever had! (Ate it too fast to take a pic)"

One Lounge

★★★★★ 4.6 (24)

"Didn't go here for food, just drinks and hookah. Interesting, it is located in a very busy strip mall. Like one wouldn't think it was there but it is tucked in the corner spot of the strip mall. If you are doing hookah you have to sit outside but thankfully it was a nice day so it was totally fine. Our server was very nice, and offered recommendations for the type of hookah to get which he was dead one for the flavor I was looking for. I did feel a little uneasy beacause the parking lot had a lot of cars coming and going with loud music playing and just people hanging out in the parking lot. Everyone else seemed fine so it could be me, since I'm not from the area. They had a DJ that arrived at 10pm he was playing really good music, and it seemed to be getting crowded just as we were leaving (around 11:30pm)."

Shahs Halal Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (21)

"After a few drinks and hours of partying, we were all craving some good halal food. While driving, we stumbled upon this place, and let me tell you--it's amazing! The food reminded me of the halal dishes you find in New York, and we all know New York has incredible food! I ordered the chicken and lamb over rice combo, and everything was spot-on. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the lamb was cooked to perfection, and I loved the white sauce drizzled over the bowl. The service was also fantastic--everything was prepared quickly, and the lady who served us (wish I remembered her name) did a great job. The ambiance was simple, more like a quick takeout spot with some seating if you wanted to stay. If you love halal food, I'd definitely recommend this place. 10/10!"

Taza Halal Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.3 (19)

"Was inpressed with freshness of preparation and size of portions. Onions were not listed on menu so I was surprised at some of the places they showed up, especially on the Kids' Beef Kofta plate. I'll remember next time.There was a bit of language barrier (owing to the authenticity of the owners/workers and my lack of a 2nd language) so I'll try to be better prepared next time. This first try wasn't what I was hoping it would be but I'll definitely give it another try!"

Gourmet 2 Go

★★★★★ 4.5 (12)

"We ordered a couple of sandwiches and waited way too long for them to come out of the kitchen. Sandwiches? The fries that came with the sandwiches were also a little bit overcooked, so it was not a good meal, but a decent one. The place was empty the whole time we were there, not even a cashier or people coming in and out. Nothing enticing to go back, not even the prices."

Shahi Indian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (10)

"This place just opened by our house and me and the wife + kids who love Indian food decided to try it. We were hopeful it would be good but it turned out to be great! It was a soft opening and though they didn't offer everything on the menu tonight the 3 different Indian meals we had wee fantastic. This might become an issue knowing they are so close to home as we're attempting to cook more at home lol.We didn't have time for pictures as we scarfed up the food and the table was a mess but will take some pictures next time."

Bombay Grill & Gryo

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (12)

"I tried the chicken biryani, tandoori chicken, chicken makhani and samosas. Everything was wonderful. The makhani was creamy and dreamy. The rice was well spiced. Tandoori was tender and had good flavor. Biryani had a good amount of meat and the rice was excellent. Samosas had a wonderful flavor in the filling and the dough was thin and light. The chutney was super fresh tasting and delicious."

Fried Chicken & Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (13) • $

"We ordered pizza, chicken,greek salad and biscuits. Everything was fantastic. Fried chicken comes with 2 large juicy pieces as a combo with a small salad with rich yogurt dressing and cinnamon spiced rice. Large portions. We will come back on our next trip to Orlando."

Toshka

★★★★★ 4.7 (6)

"I found this hidden gem on Instagram last night and knew I had to try it for lunch. I ordered DoorDash pickup and had a good experience. Toshka is tucked behind a smoke shop with limited parking, but they have a banner clearly marking the location and it wasn't too difficult to get in and out. My order was ready and prepared on time. My co worker and I both got Toshka. The pita was warm and had a good filling ratio. The lamb was tender and well seasoned. It was balanced well with the cheese. The pickles, tomatoes, and sweet slaw that comes on the side was the perfect combination. The garlic sauce was my favorite and I could eat a whole tub of it by myself. Overall, it was delicious and filling. The truck was cute and they have some seating on a gravel lawn. I'll definitely come back."

"I loved the selection in the buffet. Everything was very tasty. So if the chicken dishes were delicious. I consider this a very good hole-in-the-wall. The sign boats Asian fusion and Pakistani but it was all Pakistani when we went. This is fine because my wife and I enjoyed the buffet selection."
