Istanbul Grill

I recently had a great experience at Istanbul Grill. The food was fresh, and the ingredients were clearly high quality. The halal meat was flavorful and well-prepared. I started with the tabouli, which was a refreshing appetizer that perfectly complemented the lamb shish plate I ordered. The lamb was tender and delicious, and the flavors felt really balanced.For dessert, I had kunefe with cheese in the middle, topped with pistachios and sweet syrup - it was the perfect way to end the meal. Everything came out quickly, and the service was efficient. The only thing I would have liked is a bit more meat with the dish, but overall, I was really satisfied and would definitely go back.

Good but definitely not the best Turkish food.Because of the amount of people in the restaurant, the food came out a little slower than I would have liked.Me and my dad ordered the small mixed grill and mixed appetizers. The portions were decent, not too small or too big for the price, but still on the pricier end. The food itself was overall good but the meats weren't very fresh and were tough/got cold quick. With the mixed appetizer, it is meant to come with pita bread but we didn't get it served because we had ordered the Lavas bread.The service was ok. Some waiters were better than others because some were teenagers while others were grown men. We also had two different servers come up to our table and ask if we had ordered. Overall, I would say that the food is good but a bit pricey for the quality. It is still worth a shot, considering that most of the restaurants around this area are even more expensive and tourist traps. If you're hungry, this place doesn't hurt.

We went to Istanbul Grill for lunch one day while visiting Orlando. The interior is relatively nice with Turkish decor, and is plenty spacious. We ordered iskender kabob and lahmacun (kind of like pizza). At first I thought $17 for lahmacun was expensive, but they actually served 3 pizzas for $17; not bad at all.The iskender kabob was pretty flavorful, but iskender is supposed to be thin slices of meat and this was chunky meat. Also, it wasn't that saucy, so the bread pieces didn't quite soak up the sauce like we're used to. Still, it was a tasty dish overall.The lahmacun was excellent. The bread was fresh, flaky, light, and crispy. There was enough sauce and meat to provide flavor.Service was friendly and pricing was fair. Would visit again.

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

We were pleasantly surprised with the delicious food and service at Istanbul Grill. The decor is beautiful and welcoming as is the staff. After a day at the parks and longing for a good meal, Istanbul Grill is a short drive away from Universal Studios and the surrounding hotels. The Gyro platters were amazing. Everything was absolutely delicious, and the baklava was drool worthy. We drove home with a happy tummy and look forward to visiting Istanbul Grill again when we're in the area.

We stopped three times. Each time the Turkish coffee got better and better.Lamb Kofta and the Choban salad were the stars on this menu. This restaurant fit the bill for us because we had teenagers along. Kids that won't even try falafel. But they have American standards like mozzarella sticks and French fries, chicken nuggets and fish/chips.The flavours here were good but not great. We stopped earlier in the week at another Turkish place that had the most unbelievable dishes. The servers are very nice and helpful. Even gave us a few pointers on places to see and things to do. It's a larger less intimate restaurant but more convenient for us to visit and I'm here for the coffee!

Anytime we visit Orlando this place is a must for us. Amazing food always. The wait is long if you come during peak hours but food makes it worth the wait. We love their mixed grill and normally that's what we order. We also tried their Lavas bread and it was amazing. Definitely try it out.

My parents love this place. The food is amazing. I always go here, and totally recommend this place!!

Really great food and service. Just don't eat the pepper in the Lamb Adana. It's super super hot. They brought me out some yogurt promptly to cool my mouth. Will definitely return
