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
Turkish delight: Friendly service and authentic specialties shine at this approachable and exotic Middle Eastern restaurant. – The Scene Kilims decorate the floor and walls, strains of Turkish disco music fill the air, and an assortment of trippy decorations including hookas, macrame hangings and blue evil eyes appear throughout the dark, romantic dining room. Seating is traditional--floor cushions piled in front of low-set coffee tables. Don't be surprised if busy Mustafa--the host, waiter, DJ and chef--joins you for a glas... read more
A delight to the senses – This has been one of my favorite restaurants ever since a friend introduced me to it a few years ago. I love the middle eastern decor, and the food is delicious. The food, atmosphere, and music delight the senses and take you to another world. It is wonderful to relax on the pillows and enjoy great food and conversation. The mezze plate, pizza, and baklava are my personal faves- great for vegetarians!
THE BEST IN ATLANTA!! – I love this restaurant. I would live there if they'd let me. The food, people and ambience are incredible!! You'd be surprised to know that this place has the best PIZZA in town and it has a lot of yummy vegetarian dishes. Mustafa is king!!!
Huge potential – This place is awesome. Here, I've had one of the best lamb based entree ever. This place adds a good cultural flavor by its decorations, belley dancers etc. The owner has a great potential to succeed more. I don't like the location - decatur area. This must be in flashy buckhead or V.highlands. I also suggest another up-class alternative - Imperial Fez.
,Serefe! – Love this restaurant!! Whether I am dining here alone or with friends I know that I'm in for a treat. The food is wonderful and staff is extra friendly. The "pillow room" is great especially after you finish eating because you can sit back and relax, enjoy some turkish coffee and a hookah. Sometimes there is even a bellydancer whirling about the restaurant. It's great!!
