This is exactly what I am always talking about. Great food, great music, awesome entertainment and an experience. Visiting Orlando was made so much more memorable and enjoyable by making a stop here. The food , tea and music were all incredible and the staff was so welcoming and friendly. I loved the tea, I got a combination plate and honestly everything tasted incredible. I highly recommend adding this as a must try when you’re in town.

Amazing restaurant!! I haven’t enjoyed a restaurant like this in a long time. Cannot recommend this place enough. Fantastic service, friendly staff, great atmosphere, tasty food– we had the Ottoman Pleasure, and the place was decorated with such beautiful Halloween decorations!! 10000/10. Love the open air design too. This is such a great place to hang out and spend a few hours winding down for the night with drinks, hookah (mint & blueberry!!), and delicious food. And open 24 hours?? We didn’t want to leave and spent a good few hours hanging out. Definitely an amazing restaurant experience. Thank you to all the staff and Bangu & Sol especially for taking such good care of us on our vacation!! You guys are angels!

Incredible service. Bengu and Sol took great care of us. Loved the food, we had the Ottoman Pleasure, which lived up to its name, and the Cigar Borek was awesome. We finished off our night with drinks and hookah and we could’ve stayed here all night. If you’re in Orlando, it’s def worth the visit. You can tell they care about what they’re doing here, and it was fantastic. Thanks for a great night!!

What an amazing place! Bangu and Sol were attentive, warm, welcoming, and friendly. They took great care of us! We will always come back here! We shared the Ottoman Pleasure, on Bangu’s recommendation, and it was more than enough food. Great hookah too! Rich flavor, great atmosphere, friendly, welcoming service.

Came with friends after a long weekend. It’s not your average hookah lounge where it’s hot, clouded & congested. It’s nice, chill, good music, good vibes, delicious food, friendly staff. Beautiful atmosphere! Jess & Sol was attentive and sweet, assuring our experience was exceptional. Will come back again soon.

Café Istanbul is an impressive spot that we didn’t expect to enjoy this much, and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a while.
The first thing you notice when you walk in is how clean, modern, and thoughtfully decorated the space is. It feels upscale without being pretentious — warm lighting, comfortable seating, and stylish touches that make the restaurant feel fresh and updated while still keeping a welcoming vibe. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel relaxed and taken care of.
The staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, and patient. They checked in often, were quick with refills and recommendations, and made the whole experience feel easy and pleasant.
The food was excellent across the board. Everything tasted fresh, seasoned well, and prepared with intention. The meats were tender, the dips were flavorful, and the portions were generous without sacrificing presentation. You can tell they care about quality and consistency, because every dish we tried came out balanced, colorful, and satisfying.
Overall, Café Istanbul has the perfect mix of great food, modern atmosphere, and thoughtful service. It’s a place that works equally well for date night, a relaxed dinner with friends, or a casual family meal. We’re already planning to come back and try more of the menu.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for something delicious, comfortable, and elevated without being overly expensive.
