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
as filty as it can get – This place is really horrible. The food is really really, bad. For those people who think this is Turkish food, please do not consider it so. This place give a bad name to Turkey, to its beautifull culture and its amazing cuisine. There is nothing authentic about this place, a turkish restaurant in Istanbul, ankara, bodrum or izmir or wherever you go, does not have hookas or a belly dancer for attraction. This place gives more attention to belly dancers and hookas than to their food and service, whic... read more
Best Exotic Hidden gem – The food is fresh, perfectly spiced, and savory...and extremely affordable. Their lamb is incredible! While the staff is rather slow, you don't really care unless you trying to rush through your meal. Make sure to get pillowed seating to take in the experience. There is nothing like sipping on wine, smoking apple sheesha, and watching bellydancing without paying gobs of money for dinner.
Take A Trip to Turkey – As an armchair gourmet and world traveller, I can highly recommed Cafe Istanbul for an authentic, family-style neighborhood dining experience. Once you walk inside the restaurant doors, the outside world ceases to exist. the food is fresh (I have visited the kitchen), the staff is friendly and generous, and the ambiance is genuine. I havenever been pushed out by the wait steff looking to reseat my table as in many other restaurants. Take a seat on the floor in the pillow room and listen to a multitude... read more
This place is my favorite. The ambience is amazing, you MUST sit in the pillow room, it completes the experience. Mostafa is the best waiter, talk to him once and he remembers you every time. You'll feel like a guest at someone's home. Add a Meze plate, some baklava and chai to your dinner, order a hookah, sit back and relax while you enjoy the belly dancing show. This is a great place to come with friends, everyone I've ever taken there has loved it! On some nights guests even get up and dance, and if you stay long enough M... read more
