I recently dined at Istanbul Cafe Selden and enjoyed myself, had an average overall experience.I have been going to this place for almost 2 years. The taste is satisfying, and everything is well-prepared. While it wasn't the absolute best I've had, it still offers a pleasant dining experience with flavors that hit the mark. The desserts were not as expected, I found the pricing to be inconsistent and somewhat arbitrary, leaving me less than impressed with the overall value for the money

Sigara borek was crispy and not greasy. Lamb shish kebab was perfectly medium rare and tender. Lamahcun was well flavored. Generous portion and excellent quality for the price. Bakery has diverse options. Staff was friendly and helpful in selecting Turkish treats and pastries.

My experience at the Istanbul Cafe was great! I ordered a falafel sandwich and it did not disappoint. I’ve noticed that most places tend to overcook their falafel but that was not the case this time. I tried one of their desserts made from walnuts and dates which was really good as well. While the rest of the desserts looked amazing, I was not able to try them since I’m vegan. If you’re not, I would definitely recommend you give it a try! Overall, I would recommend this place. Plus it’s really cute inside :)

The food here is so authentic and delicious! The lamb is cooked perfectly, and everything is spiced so well. The bakery is also fantastic - I got the "tres leches" (pictured) which was so refreshing and not too heavy. I'm definitely visiting again!

We are not local but our friends always raved about this spot. Having visited Turkey, I loved kebabs and this place is as authentic as it gets, provided u order the right dishes. We ordered the mixed grill, iskender kebab and mixed meat pide. Everything was top notch and flavorful. The chicken kebab was a bit dry but the gyro meat and everything else was awesome. The iskender kebab was tender and juicy. Pide was great and the crust, nice n soft. The Turkish tea was nice and smooth. For dessert, we got some baklava and pista sweet, absolutely unbelievable and similar to what I ate in Istanbul. The Kunafe was good but a lil too sweet compared to the baklava. Give a no frills cafe with top notch food and I ll visit this place every time. For $160 it was a lil pricey but everything was amazing. Will def come back here next time we in town. 💯🇹🇷

Hello I was trying to find my old friend, and they told me you'll able to locate him easily to if you ask over so,did drive 45 min to get there so meet to owner ,he's been polite and friendly but wasn't successful so ,I purchased some salty cookies than I see they do served food ,looks soo good like art than I ask them to having meat stew with vegetables, rice and salad ,taste is soo good did finished everything on my plates, than baklava yummy 😋 you can smell butter flavor and taste of pistachios just cooked right than tea ,I felt like I am in haven.... Did get pastries and pay it before I leave they did offer me rice pudding without charging... Everyone is so friendly and helpful... Biggest point. They are serving food really well on time and fresh, just forget to say,salad being prepared perfectly you cen get full flavor of salad without using any topping.. BEST OF BEST CLEAN HOME MADE TUTKISH RESTAURANT..... You will not disappoint it...

Seems like a bustling neighborhood spot. Super friendly and helpful staff. The best falafel I’ve had in a while and their pastry section is wonderful to look at. Very clean.
