Great place. Shish kebab was especially well done. All the haters must be competitors, because everything we ate was excellent.

My wife and I enjoyed dining on the outdoor patio. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful with lots of plants. The service was worth a boosted tip, and the food/drinks were great! Authentic Mediterranean food here...you could eat the Appetizer Plate meant for 1-3 people (which I had) and it STILL has less calories than a McDonald's Large Meal! You HAVE to try their Coffee... it's special!

The food was delicious. The drinks were great. Had the Espresso Martini and it might be the best one I've ever had. Great wine options. Tasted my friend's lamb it was delicious. Had the zucchini pancakes, tasty. I was very happy. They were a little short staffed so things took time but it was worth it. We ate in the patio, beautiful late summer.

I've eaten at the Bexley location often over many years. The food and the service has always been excellent on each visit. Café Istanbul in Bexley is currently my favorite restaurant to frequent in the greater Columbus, OH area.

Wide selection of traditional Turkish and Balkan cuisine cooked extremely well and in a perfect setting! The whole bronzini and calamari are especially good if you like fish.

I've been going here for years. I love the warm bread and olive oil and herb dip as an appetizer.. Turkish tea is amazing. I like to try different things when I go there. I have not been disappointed yet. Though my favorite is the kebabs.

Great service, absolutely delicious food, and good cocktails to pair. We loved the aesthetic inside and they also had a huge, covered outdoor patio too. Can't wait to come back!

Authentic Turkish and Mediterranean food with a nice wine selection and unique cocktails. Prices are between $15-$30 per plate with huge portions...my suggestion is to order 2 plates for 4 people to share.

We had a fabulous lunch at Cafe Istanbul! The food was scrumptious and the patio seating was delightful!!! I had the chicken kabob and my friend had lamb kabob accompanied with basmati rice and salad. We also had tabouleh appetizer. Dessert was baklava and I followed it all with a fabulous cocktail - Aegean Breeze! We spent the afternoon dining al fresco on a beautiful covered patio landscaped with flowing flowers and vines surrounding the seating area. The newly improved patio certainly has elevated Cafe Istanbul to the status of one of my favorite patios for dining in the Columbus!
