great place to relax – I went with my partner on a busy sunday night and unfortunately we could not get one of the pillow seats since we hadnt reserved earlier and the seats were all booked. so that's your first cue. the music was a bit loud and the belly dancing though awesome, had too long a break in between. So if you are going just for a beer and a quick dinner, then consider yourself lucky to have seen two dances. The decor is old worldly and very homely and does make you feel like cosying up. The service is warm and fr... read more
Cafe Istanbul is a great pizza joint – SURPRISE!!!! Cafe Istanbul serves one of the best pizzas in town. They only have a few selections of pizzas but they are one of the best you will have, I highly recommend everyone to go and try the pizzas, especially for lunch, I would go for the good old Turkish menu for dinner.
Mixed food quality at a fair price – Great appetizers. Mediocre entrees with marginal (or no) flavor. Stay away from the homemade pasta. The lamb that supposedly is used in the dish is non-existent, and the dish is devoid of any flavor whatsoever. Pleasant service and entertaining belly dancers.
Pizza??? Why is this in the Pizza section? – Citysearch, maybe move this out of the Pizza category. Unless I am wrong, this is not a pizza place.
The koofteh was dissappointing! – I invited my family to Cafe Istanbul for Mother's day after I found it to be the best mediterranean restaurant on city search. Even though it's a definite value restaurant, the ambience was not cut out for Mother's day. My order, stuffed eggplant, as well as my husband's chicken kebab turned out great. But my poor parents who love Koofteh (they are persian) were sadly dissappointed to find their beloved koofteh was not really koofteh at all! Koofteh is supposed to be juicy meatballs, theirs ... read more
Welcome Home – When I eat here I feel I am home. The owners are nice, the food is good, and the ambience is unbeatable.
Efes beer and belly dancing go hand in hand – To be honest I was pretty surprised. This is the truest Turkish restaurant that made its statement to me. They serve Efes beer which was great.It reminds me of well made Bavarian styled pilsener, but Efes is much more interesting.The crystal type of hops which made a crisp, snappy finish. Belly dancig - the girl looks as if she stepped out of my dream. The staff is very friedly and makes very good jokes to make you laugh.Awesome.
Best Turkish Jewel in Atlanta – This is not a typical restaurant. I have never been to any restaurant where I feel I am being served in a house atmosphere. The owners and staff are Turkish and Kurdish and they welcome you into their house. The food is traditional turkish and the dishes I have had are all excellent. On the weekends there is no party like the one in this restaurant, just make sure you have reservation, or you cant get in. You enjoy your food while you watch the staff dance Turkish and Kurdish line dancing to a... read more
A Terrible Disappointment – Beware: this estabilishment does not respect it's customers. A 9:00 reservation turned into a 9:45 struggle for a table that had been promised to 2 parties, that I know of. Just before our food came out, the manager himself came over took away one of our tables! Upon our objection he unleased a fury of phrases, including statments along the lines of "You come here for my restaurant, I do not need you." He went so far as to take away some of our cushions, forcing us to cram together so that no one ... read more
