Nice ambience and belly dancing add additional flavour to it...
Food was good as well.
Take some leisure time and go here for longer time as u can ait on mattress on the floor and can relax as long as u want....
We had a great time!. We had ladies night at Cafe Istanbul. The service was great, the food was good, and we had a great time.
A local GEM, yet of distant origin, LOVE IT.. I, for one, am a major carnivore....so naturally I ordered their COMBO KEBAB, which is basically an avalanche of perfectly seasoned grilled MEATS (Chicken, and Lamb-Beef mix). These guys are more generous than generous... I mean the portions are HUGE. At times it felt like a battle from MAN VS FOOD. My order came with rice, vegetables, lettuce, and an outrageously delicious BREAD (garnished with herbs and olive oil).
As for service, I had a courteous young gentleman as my server. I took me few attempt to get his name, primarily because of the loud BD-party crowd next table. His name was Berem. I later learned that he was the Manager.
In Short, the FOOD WAS TO DIE FOR! and the people were GREAT.
Best Food Ever. Wish there was a Cafe Istanbul in Gwinnett. Best food I have ever eaten. Love it. :)
Terrible food but excellent atmosphere. We go here atleast once a week. during the weekend is the best time. better off eating at olive Bistro if you want mid-east food. the food at cafe istanbul is the worst.
The food is great I give it a A+ 10 out 10. You must go. I just love the people hear, It great! Cafe Istanbul is a great experience.
Group dinner. Pros: free valet parking, lots of seating, bellydancer
Cons: speakers are a little too loud, absolutely no lighting at the table forces everyone to pull out their smartphone flashlight apps to read the menu
Definitely nice atmosphere and good for groups. I'd go again. Food was neither impressive nor disappointing.
Great atmosphere. Good service. Great food. Definatly recommend.
Very good food. Anytime you feel that you want to eat something refreshing try this restaurant
Belly dance and Belly full. A visit to an authentic style Turkish Restaurant will open your eyes and tastebuds to the flavors of Persian cuisine. Low tables and cushions surround the perimeter of the dining rooms and Kilims lie the floor. Persian music fills the air as college age students enjoy Turkish beer and smoke hookahs. The staff and food both exceed expectations and provide an exceptional dining experience. Lamb, beef, bean and vegetarian offerings provide a full flovered palate. A bellydancer completes the atmosphere. Bring some dollars for her and the valet parking atttendant. Come early or expect to wait for a table. I highly reccomend Cafe Istanbul, don't expect the usual fare.
An awesome to go and chill with friends, great music taste. They have hookahs with various flavors and drinks and ofcourse this place is 21 and above only. I had a great time there, great crowd and nobody judges you as obvious everyone is drunk. Furthermore, they also have good foods.
This is favorite Hookah bar to visit at I admire the traditional decor and settings! It is simple but yet presentable. The tradition look is refreshing. Whether it is a simple date or group gathering, there is so much room to plan ahead and enjoy a quality times with friends at this place. Though, parking can be challenging during busy days so plan ahead and perhaps ride along or use either Uber or Lyft. Their dishes and excellent as well.
We went here to celebrate my friends birthday. Nice experience and good food. Our waiter Dalia was amazing and very attentive as well as knowledgeable.
We have been going here for years. Yesterday we went for dinner and were served by the best waitress ever. Ask for Denise! She is the sweetest person ever. We enjoyed some lahmacun and a hookah! The food is authentic and the people are the kindest!!
Food is very good. Gets pack on the weekend. Parking is very tight. You can chose to sit at the bar, a table or on the floor. They have hookahs at a decent price. Belly dancers come out and perform. Music is entertaimi g. Have been multiple times.
