We had one of the most enjoyable meals of our lives here! Service was friendly with a smile and many patient answers for our many questions. Turns out we love Turkish food. We had only had it once or twice before. LaBinnah Bistro is simply magnificent! We started with the Dolma appetizer. I have a soft spot for grape leaves, and these were outstanding! Definitely top three that I've ever had. My wife had the Istanbul shrimp and she loved them. Her boiled potatoes and asparagus were cooked exactly to her liking. I had the Saç Tava, which is Turkish stirfry beef with yellow peppers and tomatoes. I think there was some garlic in it. It was served with the best saffron rice I've ever tasted. We were completely spoiled with this Turkish home cooking. SO GOOD! We had a delicious and reasonably priced bottle of wine and the Godiva tall chocolate cake for dessert. It was moist and delicious but not overpoweringly sweet. Look at my photos of the interior of this place it's just charming and quaint. So lovely. We were visiting from the Kansas City area and we are absolutely enamored with this little restaurant and we will be back as much as possible!!!

As soon as we sat down, the waitress brought us bottled water and complimentary soup. There is no physical menu so we scanned the QR code to find out what is offered. The offering is not very huge, but it is full of unusual items that we have never tried before. We ordered Labnah for appetizer, which is Turkish bread with yogurt based dipping sauce. It was super tasty. My husband and I both ordered lamb dishes. They came with lots of sides. For the amount of food we got and the quality of the dishes, this is very reasonably priced. It is in the south Grand area so there is only street parking but we found a spot that is just about one minute walk away. Very highly recommended.

This was fine. Not spectacular, not bad. I got their appetizer trio. I didn't like the bread. It…read morewas pretty dense and thick. Wished it was going to be a pita. The dips were fine. The actual hummus was my favorite. It had a nice richness that was mellowed by how creamy it was. The babaganoush wasn't my favorite. Honestly, just a touch more salt would've saved it i think. The interior is fun paired with a nice patio. Definitely a fun spot to go hang with friends at! Some of the entrees look quite compelling so perhaps i need to get back in to try those. Service was nice. It was just take out, so not much attention required for me

Also ordered a Turkish salad which was supposed to be fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, and got this weird red sauce. Instead of tomatoes they actually used ketchup. It was all about inedible.

We shared a Chocolate Povitica - similar to a babka and really good I had the Cilbir - very similar to Shakhuka but with garlic yogurt - REALLY GOOD!! We started by seating outside because it was unseasonally nice in the Summer of St Louis, but we moved inside due to rain and both are eclectic (but there is an odd surging of electricity inside) We received our food quickly and we were asked how we were doing and if the food was ok at least twice and very kind servers. PS dont laugh at the pictures...I forgot to take pictures before we dove in

Beautiful space with lots of greenery, great music, and friendly, attentive staff!…read more The food was good but not too memorable. I had the Sloppy Mustafa Tost and it felt like something was missing. The biggest letdown was the "runny" egg, which wasn't runny at all, very surprising for a breakfast spot. The ordering process also takes away from the experience. Waiting in a long line to order and pay, then carrying your own water to the table, doesn't make for a relaxing brunch. My friend also wasn't told they had run out of the somun for the Cilbir until the food arrived and it had already been substituted. Overall, I loved the ambiance, but the food and service details didn't quite live up to the hype.

I'm…read moreglad I joined the waitlist when I did, as the wait was a bit longer than expected even on the list. The ambiance inside was like a cozy cafe with Mediterranean vibes, especially at the register. We were seated and already knew what we wanted. I ordered an Arnold Palmer, and the mint in the lemonade was refreshingly delicious. For my meal, I opted for the Chicken and Beef Combo. The grilled chicken kabob was incredibly tasty, and the beef kabob was bursting with flavor. It was served with rice, grilled tomato, and a cucumber and tomato salad, all of which complemented the main dishes beautifully. The tzatziki sauce was some of the best I've had in the city. This place is always bustling, and I can see why. The food was absolutely delicious, and my leftovers were just as good as they were when I first ate them. I'm already looking forward to trying more of the menu on my next visit, which will be sooner rather than later since every dish I saw looked mouthwatering. If you're searching for a Mediterranean restaurant in The Grove, you've found it. The staff was also very friendly and attentive.

The staff is small so you won't have a dedicated server. You can gesture to anyone and they will ensure your orders are placed. Another interesting thing is that they do not sell alcohol or standard drinks Americans would be used to, so try their pomegranate lemonade. Unfortunately my food was not as flavorful as it looked so that was a bummer. The deserts were excellent so that helped my sweet tooth. This place is not 100% accessible as the entrance is rather narrow.
