Absolutely fantastic food and wine service. All of the dishes were perfectly seasoned and balanced. We especially loved the dips, borek, heirloom tomato salad, and moussaka. Will be recommending this gem to friends and returning asap!

One of the US’s food and wine gems. The kind of place you want to return to again and again.
Food: really excellent. Wide variety of locally sourced vegetables and proteins with really incredible flavors. The chef is so incredible.
Wine: co-equal are the incredible wine offerings. Unbeatable, hard-to-find, interesting, and fun.
Hospitality: really unmatched in the Bay, save for perhaps the Morris.

Istanbul Kitchen was an overall great experience. The wine pairing was spot on, the hummus was amazing, and the eggplant dish was packed with flavor. We really enjoyed the service and the convenient location.
That said, a couple of areas could be improved. The sound level was very high, making it difficult to hear my partner during dinner. Also, the charred kebabs wrapped in pita ($30) were a miss—the heavy smoke flavoring was overwhelming and took away from the dish.
Still, the highlights of the meal stood out, and with a few adjustments this could easily become a top dining spot. Service was top level,

Absolutely loved our dinner at Kitchen Istanbul SF! Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with incredible flavor. We started with the Levrek Marin and sautéed shrimp, both fresh and perfectly seasoned. The eggplant shakshuka was rich and comforting, and the Adana kebab had just the right amount of spice and smokiness.
The service was warm, attentive, and made the whole evening feel extra special. To top it all off, we had the homemade profiterole — and wow, it was the perfect sweet ending.
Delicious food, amazing presentation, and top-notch hospitality. Can’t wait to come back!

I had the pleasure of dining here with my family for my birthday dinner. We all shared the dishes that we ordered, and everything was absolutely delicious. No complaints from anyone. Each of the dishes were very tasty and had a beautiful presentation. The Moussaka was the number one favorite for all of us. A truly perfect dish. The dessert was a newer dessert that they recently added to their menu, and it was absolutely delightful. In addition to the phenomenal food, I really appreciated the great service and cleanliness of the restaurant. I definitely recommend this place for some stellar, high quality Turkish food.

We visited as a party of 4 and, unfortunately, left feeling quite disappointed. Despite spending $200—which only included one glass of wine and two non-alcoholic beers—the portions were so small that we actually had to go to a nearby bar immediately after just to get a real meal. While the atmosphere was nice, the value for the price just isn’t there. We expected to be fed, not just sampled.

We just spent an exceptional evening with friends as first time guests at Kitchen Istanbul. Wow, just wow. Our food was so delicious. My husband and our friend loved the 3 course wine tasting add on. My fresh fish was the best I have had anywhere in San Francisco. Our friends loved their moussaka and lamb kebabs. We started by sharing some excellent, flavorful mezze, and ended by sharing an amazing rice pudding to top off our evening. Emrah, the owner was so gracious, warm, and knowledgeable about wine, as was the entire staff. It was a perfect evening and we definitely plan on coming back. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic meal and wine service. The dishes are creative yet rooted in tradition. The team was lovely and the owner was also there greeing tables and serving guests. I especially appreciated the half-pour option for the wine tasting since I was the driver. Book a reservation and plan a little time for parking in the neighborhood if you’re driving.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food:
**Hummus**
– Just okay, I’ve had better versions elsewhere.
– Wouldn’t order this again.
**Muhammara**
– First time trying this and it was a hit!
– Absolutely addictive; we didn’t leave a single bite.
**Haydari**
– Average, nothing special.
– It’s pretty much Greek yogurt with a hint of dill.
**Moussaka**
– It was alright but lacked the wow factor.
– Could have been more flavorful, especially for the price.
**Adana Kebabs**
– The highlight of our meal!
– Perfectly seasoned meat paired wonderfully with fresh onions.
**Knafeh**
– Crispy and nutty!
– Delicious but I’ve had better in Philly.
I dined here with my boyfriend and a friend. The meal was a mixed bag—some dishes were delicious while others fell flat. The pricing was steep; the least expensive wine was $21 per glass! We ordered three dips for three people and received only four small pitas, with an extra charge of $4 for four more, which seemed excessive. This experience, especially the issue with the pita, was disappointing and makes me hesitant to return.

I was really disappointed with this place. The portions were extremely small — honestly more like tasting samples than a real meal. For the price they charge, I expected much more food and better value.
The food itself wasn’t bad, but it’s hard to enjoy when you leave still hungry and feeling overcharged. Definitely not worth the money. I wouldn’t come back or recommend it unless portion sizes and pricing improve.
