Falafel Plate
Samantha L.

Small place down at the U of A with delicious food! Good options for vegetarians. Enjoyed the lentil soup and falafel plate. Both I would definitely order again. The hummus was smooth and flavorful. Portions are large and would have had food to take home. Prices are a little more expensive than other comparable places but likely due to location. You do get to order from two different menus/restaurants inside the location so many options to choose from. The server was friendly but busy and a little slow seemingly due to door dash or similar as the restaurant itself only had a few tables seated. Overall a great experience and will back again soon.

Small little place..a bit confusing with numerous names. Not sure if its arabic express or gyro king or geronimos. Service polite but very slow. I suspect he was very busy with online orders as the ding ding kept going off. We tried the lentil soup and falafel plate. Everything tasted great. Definitely enough for 2 people. Will be back for sure

Fantastic little place with authentic middle eastern food. They had them best falafel I've had in Tucson and the hummus, baba ganoush, and dolmas were all wonderful too. My husband had the gyro and loved it, and our daughter throughly enjoyed her french fries and chicken shawarma. We'll definitely be back! This restaurant is housed in the Geronimo's restaurant but it seems like they've revamped it to more middle eastern rather than the bunch location.

Chicken  Shish Tawook Plate.

Food was amazing! We will definitely be back during our Tucson visits. The chicken was tender and flavorful without being too overwhelming with Mediterranean spice.

Quick shot: lime and pomegranate energy drink
Nicole K.

This place is so great! The drink and food that I ordered were both beautiful and delicious. I had the quick shot, which is a lime and pomegranate energy drink with monster. It was sooo good, and the mint and berries were a wonderful touch! The falafel rice bowl had a generous serving. Everything was fresh and the service was great. 10/10

Returning after about a year with out of town visitors for our last dinner before they head home…read moretomorrow. It seemed like the menu had been updated with more and improved selections. We ordered drinks and studied the menu some and put in orders for the Aspasia and hummus plates along with the big (we had no idea it was that big) family mix grill and chicken and beef shawarma. We received the Aspasia plate first and it was delicious! The kibbeh was so good but so was everything else. The mixed grill plate was awesome. The hummus and baba ghanoush were incredible. I don't think I can get enough superlatives into this write up to fully convey not only how good this food is but also how authentic it all was. Of course our server timed all the deliveries to our table so that everything came out correctly and at the right time. The inside of the restaurant is actually a big room, sparsely decorated with simple tables and chairs but again it added to the charm and authenticity of the cafes from the Middle East region. There is no other place in Tucson like this and I highly recommend this to you to go and try. There is plenty here to try and enjoy.

Tried this spot on a whim and was happy to try it! Small seating inside, they have a display of all…read morethe desserts & sweets. Started off with the hummus, it was fine! The bread that is given with the hummus is very thin & they only give you 4 pieces so it went very fast. They charged $2 for 4 more pieces. For the family platter mix we got ($70) it came with chicken, lamb and tenderloin (unfortunately they ran out of tenderloin). The meats were easily the best part of the meal. Full of flavor & really well seasoned. It sits upon a gigantic pile of rice which we did not finish. Rice was fine. Overall service was very pleasant. The food was overall good, and portion sizes were nice for a group of 4. Glad we came.

Always a great time at Istanbul. This is one of the few spots where you can get a doner plate,…read morewhich is seasoned meet from the spinning rotisserie that runs vertically. I thoroughly like coming here for sure because the flavors are hard to beat. Plentiful seating and always great service. Highly recommend!

Driven by the place a lot but never went in until today. Parking lot is a little small and you can…read moremiss the entrance pretty easily on speedway, so just be sure to slow down. This place specializes in Turkish/Mediterranean food. There have various appetizers, pita sandwiches, entrees and dessert. I got the diner sandwich, which is pictured in the photo, pieces of beef & lamb mixed kebab sliced thinly served in a pita with red onion, lettuce, tomatoes and tzatziki sauce. It comes with your choice of Greek salad or fries. Their fries at crispy, not soggy. The meat was well seasoned and the spices the meat was seasoned with come through! It you want slices typical to kebabs or gyro sandwiches, get the Istanbul pita, which was what my husband got. Lots of seating for small and big groups! Service was decent, but not sure how it is on a really busy night. We came at lunch time, so about 8-9 tables and our server didn't check in on us much after we got our meal, which was out pretty quick after we ordered. We did have to wait and stop her to ask for more napkins and water but other than that, friendly staff. Would recommend checking this place out!
