Festive Istanbul Cafe – If for nothing else you should go for the experience is the best thing I have to say about the Istanbul Cafe. The worse thing I have to say about it is - the parking - there just isn't enough of it. Other than that, my first visit to the Istanbul Cafe was simply an out-of-this-world experience. My 2 year baby grand was with us and she had the best time, dancing and watching the belly dancers. The food was nice and spicy, the hookah was fabulous. Overall, we had too much fun! The atmosphere was exotic,... read more
Cozy place with great food and a lovely relaxed atmosphere – I've been to cafe Istanbul once to celebrate a friend's birthday. I'd go again. I really liked it - for the food and the atmosphere. I remember meeting the owner because he was really friendly and he and some of the male wait staff danced for us. (The dancing was amazing, that night I literally felt as though I'd been transported to another country) They had a belly dancer there too and she was really good (not obscene or anything). I like any restaurant where the ... read more
BEST EVER – Actually to comment back to the review from mr./mrs. jacksonviga, the owners are quite nice, i have never heard them yell at anyone or be rude to any of his customers, we have been going since they opened 10 years ago. You never find anything in ur food like slugs or insects, the atmosphere is amazing and looks like ur going to turkey in the two hours that you are sitting and enjoying the wonderful food, hoouka, and belly dancers. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HAVE A GOOD TIME, MAKE A RESERVATION AND ... read more
Its worth waiting for !!!!!!!! – I have been a regular customer at this restaurant for over two years, I can not imagine how a slug would turn up in ANY restuarants kitchen! Cafe Istanbul is one of the more popular restaurants in Atlanta and getting a table on the weekends is a waiting game. I have had a reservation before and still had to wait an extra hour, however, it is worth waiting for. The restaurant has expanded and the waiting has become much less. I have yet to go there and eat a bad meal, it is nothing but fun and... read more
I went there las night and found a slug in my food... – That should be all I have bad to say about the restaurant, but it is not. First, I went there last night. My friend had heard it had gotten better and expanded. We made a reservation for 730 because I waited for a table for two hours the only other time I had gone. A 730 reservation became 945 before we even sat down. When I tried to speak to the manager about the situation. He was extremely insulting telling me I did not have to eat there and he did not need my money. ... read more
Great Fresh Food, Fun Place, a Must Visit at least once a week, Great for Any Age! – I was surprised to read some of the poor reviews. What do you expect when a huge group goes to share one pizza and has two hookahs for the table. I am not sure that any other sit down restaurant would allow this. I have been going to Cafe Istanbul for years. Every time I take people that have never been there from Atlanta or even from out of town, they have an amazing time. Food is fresh and authentic. The Kurdish/Turkish actually cook the f... read more
The Atlanta Hotspot – If you are in the mood for a romantic dinner, or a great place to hang out w a group of your friends, this would be the place to go!!!!!! The Turkish Kebobs are delicious and their appetizers are awsome!!! You definately enjoy the atmosphere and your food at this restaurant, and a tip.... ask the owners to dance for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not really good Food! – Atmosphere ok, good crowd (mostly college students) but the parking was terrible, the food not of good quality, only beer and wine served, and the belly dancer while pretty was not all that good!! The service left something to be desired. I never felt welcomed or comfortable. We constantly had to ask for service and waited forever for our food. It seemed like they could not wait for us to leave!!! The rice was greasy and the meat not well cooked. I have had mediterranean and turkish before and this wa... read more
NEED BETTER SERVICE AND FOOD NOT MORE ROOM – This place gets worse and worse everytime i go! The food is horrible and the service is even worse, plus they just expanded the resturant but were still crammed in like sardins, your litterally on top of the table next to you! it is supposed to be a turkish and med. restaurant but it seems like all they play is indian music! whats the deal with that, the owners are turkish and persian and the music is indian!!!! they need to make alot of changes before i go back
