Awful, awful, and did I mention, awful? – The Bad: Horrible service; cold, mediocre quality food; way too loud; much touted belly dancer appeared for 5 minutes and then disappeared for the rest of the evening. The Good: Nothing. Avoid this place at all costs. If you want good middle eastern food try Rumi's Table on Roswell Road or Sufi's of Persia on Peachtree.

Atlanta's Best Turkish Restaurant – I have been going to Cafe Istanbul for a few years now and I keep coming back to this restaurant because of its exceptional customer service. The food is extremely affordable and the hookahs are very smooth to taste. At night the restaurant turns into a festivity with belly dancers. My favorites on the menu are Turkish Kayak Pizza and Adana Kabob, they are to die for! Kalo Galoway more commonly known as Mustafa always gives me the best experience there! The staff is like a big family and i... read more

SKETCHY – Don't bring any valuables. My camera was stolen from there and i left it on the table for a few seconds and went right back to get it and it was gone. The waiters suck too and were not helpful when I asked them to check for my camera.

I thought this was a terrible hooka lounge and restaurant. I have been here multiple times and I must say throughout the years it has only gotten progressively worse. first and foremost, they charge for water which I thought was ridiculous.. it might be a Turkish restaurant but it is most certainly not in Turkey- DON'T CHARGE FOR WATER! Also, the waiters and waitresses, although this is not their fault, are terrible at serving. They take way too long for the simple things such as drinks. And on top of that they expect a grea... read more

Great restaurant -gone terribly bad!!! – I used to love this place. I drove one hour just to come here and bring my dad and step son to see the belly dancer and enjoy a great meal. However, this place has gotten very bad!! We ordered drinks, apps- I had to ask the waiter 3 times for lemons. The waiter completely forgot about us after the apps were served....he never took our dinner order until we had to ask someone walking by. The belly dancer only did 1 dance throughout our entire dinner. The server never refilled our drink... read more

Best hookah lounge and meditereanean food in Atlanta – My friends and I have found this place and we can not get enough! We have been to other hookah places, but Cafe Istanbul beats them hands down. Weekends are packed, make sure you reserve a spot on the cushions! Their menu consists of everything from pizzas to Turkish Kebobs, and a whole page of appetizers , one better then the other. All in all you cant go wrong here, Dj music and great food, My friends and I are forever their customers!

This Place sucks !!!! – Its a good place if you want to save money, however, thes place wa very unhygienic, dark and suffocating. They surely dnt maintain any hygiene in the restaurant. The cushions were torn. They need a serious makeover of the place and has to be a lot more clean. Food was sort of ok. Would'nt call it great.
