Had the Istanbul Combination for two and we already started eating before taking the pictures, it smelled so good, we had to dig in. It is a lot of food, but we will be eating this for lunch tomorrow as well. The food was fantastic, all the meats were so tender and spices just right. We can’t wait to try more of what’s on their menu.
We visited Istanbul Food Lovers in August, first for dinner and then again the next morning for breakfast, and both times the experience was simply perfect.
The food and the service were excellent. Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious. We were very hungry and excited to try different dishes, so we ordered a lot — and the portions were so generous that we even had leftovers for the next day at the hotel, which were still amazing.
Our 15-month-old son also ate very well and happily. The kids’ menu was great, and it meant so much to us that he could enjoy the food just as much as we did.
The owner was extremely warm and welcoming, came to talk with us, and truly made us feel cared for. We didn’t feel like customers in a restaurant — we felt like we were having dinner at a friend’s home.
That’s exactly why we returned the next morning for breakfast… and once again, it was outstanding.
This place is a true gem.
Amazing food, amazing people, and a beautiful atmosphere.
We cannot recommend it enough.
The staff at Istanbul Food Lovers were really kind and welcoming, but the food overall was a letdown.
We started with the Cigar Rolls—crispy and cheesy, super tasty. The Lahmajoun (Safiha) was also great. But after that, things went downhill. The Istanbul Combination platter was just okay—the meat was chewy and not very warm, like it had been reheated. The cheese in the Chicken Hunkar Begendi had a sour taste and had to be sent back. The server was very nice about it and even gave us free baklava, but it was soggy and fell apart.
We also noticed a $2.67 mystery charge on the receipt with no item breakdown, which felt sketchy. And seeing the owner respond harshly to negative reviews online was a bit off-putting.
In short: good starters, great service, but most of the food didn’t taste fresh, and the billing wasn’t clear. Wouldn’t come back.
We were dining with our daughter, and they surprised us by serving her a strawberry cake free of charge — it was delicious, and she loved it! They also brought us complimentary meze, which we truly enjoyed.
The kindness, generosity, and overall atmosphere made our visit extra special. We will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended!
Customer service was customized and kind. They also gave free hot tea while I waited for my food.
Overall- Welcoming and kind establishment with fantastic food and plenty of options.
