I wanted to order a carryout on a Saturday evening, so I called Istanbul Grill to discuss choices…read moreand order food. The call was answered by an automated service that seemed determined to not let me talk to anyone. Over and over it told me I must order online. It texted me the link to the clover app for ordering. I placed the order with the app which told me pick up would be in 25 minutes. Then the odyssey began. I got a call from a phone number without caller id. I called back and was told Istanbul Grill is backed up and it would take an extra 20-30 minutes. So I arrived at the restaurant 1 hour after ordering and was told they had no idea when the order would be ready. I finally got my order about 1 hour 45 minutes after placing the order. While I understand they are trying to eliminate staff to take and track orders, the whole process and extra wait makes it worse since there doesn't seem to be any feedback to Clover about extra time required. Once I finally got the food and took it home, we enjoyed every bit of it. The baba and lavas was fantastic and the lahmacun was good. I considered ordering family platters, but did not because they all contained chicken. I ordered lamb based dinners which were also great. A single dinner is enough for 2 adults in our experience. I observed most tables were taking home food. So overall food was great. Ordering and pickup were quite bad.

On Wednesday we stopped by for lunch and ordered the hummus appetizer and the Mezza plate and the food had no taste at all. The best way to describe the hummus is that it tasted like sand and the Greek salad dressing was essentially just olive oil. It was shockingly bad. I'm not sure how it could happen but they were training someone so maybe it was a one time issue but please bring back the old food! Two stars is being generous because they are nice people.

Apologies in advance for not having pictures--we were too busy having a good time to take many!…read more Every time I go to Meza, I tell myself I am going to branch out and try something new, but the beef kabobs keep pulling me back in because they are consistently incredible. Perfectly seasoned, unbelievably tender and always cooked to perfection. The jasmine rice deserves its own shoutout because it is truly perfect. Light, fragrant and exactly what you want alongside anything on the menu. The sautéed vegetables are buttery and delicious and honestly my favorite part of the plate. The service is always excellent with staff who are warm, attentive and genuinely happy to make sure you have a great meal. I never feel rushed and everyone who works there makes the experience even better. If you want flavorful food, great portions and kind service, Meza will be an instant favorite.

Please do not sleep on this place! It is so good!…read more I've been here for lunch and for dinner on several occasions. The food is delicious and the service stellar! I will say that the food tends to take a little longer to prepare but nothing out of the ordinary and honestly it's worth it. I mostly get the kabobs and the Greek salad. They are my favorites. The salmon here is cooked really well so highly recommend that as well. Really great atmosphere. This is a great place for a work lunch or dinner out with the girls. Definitely recommend and definitely will be back!

We had the lentil soup and lavash bread, both were very delicious. Hummus was also tasty. My main dish was chicken adana with salad, was great and we also ordered the shepperd salad which was so rich and fresh, very tasty. If we are at the area again, we will be back for sure.

Worth quitting the town fave for -- the homemade roots cooking of Lale!…read more I officially quit the towns well known spot for the homemade roots cooking at Lale Turkish Restaurant in Winter Park! Every dish tastes like it came straight from someone's family kitchen -- authentic, comforting, and made with love. The flavors are deep and fresh, the kind of food that nourishes both body and soul. And don't even get me started on the baklava -- buttery, flaky, perfectly sweet, and absolutely irresistible. It's the best I've ever had! If you want a meal that reminds you why you don't settle for ordinary, Lale is it. A true hidden gem in Winter Park.

In terms of food, I would say that the fries are decently crunchy but plain. The Dubai chocolate is their best dessert and I would stick with their pies or wraps. The mix plate has half of it as chicken and the other as beef. I personally liked the beef better and thought it paired nicely with the garlic sauce. The wrap was also toasted perfectly.

Absolute Hidden Gem -- King Falafel Delivers Every Time…read more King Falafel is hands down one of the best spots I've found for fresh, authentic, and insanely flavorful food. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly service and the smell of perfectly seasoned meats and warm spices that let you know you're in for something special. The falafel is crispy on the outside, soft and herb-packed on the inside -- easily some of the best I've ever had. The shawarma is juicy, perfectly spiced, and wrapped in fresh, pillowy pita. Every topping tastes fresh, and the sauces (especially the garlic sauce) take everything to another level. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is consistently top tier. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or feeding the whole family, King Falafel delivers flavor, value, and authenticity. If you're in the area and haven't tried it yet, you're seriously missing out. Highly recommend -- I'll definitely be back.

Pros: Love the location. Waterford is a high foot traffic…read moreshopping area, which is going to expose more people to this kind of food. Ambiance was nice. Standard counter service looking place, but with a beautiful dessert glass case to ogle at while you're in line. Service was excellent. Very very nice people. We got take-out, and the food was ready right when we arrived. The food itself was mostly excellent. They certainly had the best platter of any Middle Eastern place around. Lots of variety. Cons: I'm sure it's because we got it take-out, but the Manakeesh did NOT transport well. We got it home, and it was soggy and not good. I'm sure it would be a lot nicer fresh and in-store, so... Tips: ...make sure you get the Manakeesh only if you're able to dine-in. If there are three or more of you, get the Maroush Dish. Trust me, it's a lot of variety, so you'll get to try a little of everything. Very good.
