We got the special mixed kebab which contains 1 skewer of adana, half skewer of chicken shish kebab (4 piece), half skewer of lamb shish kebab (4 piece), 2 wings, 2 grilled meatballs, 2 lamb chops, and 1 icli kofte. Served with rice, garden salad, sumac onions, lavash bread, and grilled halved tomato and pepper. It was by far the best Turkish food I have had in the GTA. The food was delicious especially the kofte and the wings! On point! Make sure to get Reservations on the weekends cause it gets very busy. read more

Kebab Istanbul - SPECIAL MIXED KEBAB PLATTER - Middle Eastern Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

It was a welcoming place with interesting decor of wood pieces. Lots of seating. The server was friendly and she recommended their top dishes. Presentation of dishes were great for my friends, except for mine as they wrapped it awkwardly for my meat. I would have liked my bread on the side - just like the photo shown on the menu. The rice and salad were decent. The meat didn't have much flavour. Their sauce could be improved. I had better sauces at other similar restaurants. In my opinion, it's a bit overpriced too. Overall, it was a decent experience and I got to try a new place in the Vaughn plaza. read more

Are you looking to try some Turkish food? This restaurant is located just outside of Vaughan Mills shopping mall. The restaurant has nice rustic decor with comfy velvet bench seats. The walls have an accent wall decorated with small pieces of tree trunks with various countries and cities engraved. We ordered the lamb chops 4 pcs $31.99. It was served in a nice display dish and cover. The lamb was seasoned well, and the meat was tender. It comes with rice and salad. We ordered the Adana & chicken shish $20.99. You get one full skewer of ground beef, Adana kebab, and half skewer of grilled chicken breast kebab. The chicken was juicy and succulent. The beef was a little bit dry. The entree was beautifully displayed on a large wooden plank with Kebab Istanbul embossed. We also ordered the falafel appetizer $11.99 served with pickled shredded beets and mixed green salad. Overall, the meal was decent, and we had some food to take home. The food is a bit on the pricey side. The total came up to $77 with tax. We also ordered 2 pops. The service was decent, and they did check on us to see if we were enjoying our meal. One constructive feedback, the server should ask us if this is our first time dining here. This goes a long way with overall dining experience. We would have liked some recommendations on what to order. I had to do my own research on Google reviews and look at my neighbors table to see what they're are eating. I would recommend this restaurant and will probably skip the lamb chops ( too pricey) and maybe try the other entrees like shawarma, mixed grill, or the Pide flat breads. read more

Very great food delivered fast. I was there on a work trip and every one loved this meal.

We came in around five Saturday afternoon, and it was half full, got seated immediately. This is a cozy place serving Turkish Kebabs and foods. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We ordered mixed kebab combo, which had 4 types of meats, all are very good, except the chicken. It's also coming with salads and rices, good portion for two people. The place got filled quickly, suggested call advance for reservations. read more

Kebab Istanbul left an amazing first impression! I tried the Chicken Adana Shish and Beef Shish platters, and each bite was a delight. The beef was exceptionally juicy, the chicken packed with flavor, and the vegetables and bread tasted fresh and authentic. Ending the meal with a traditional Turkish tea was the perfect wrap-up. I'll definitely be back--this place is already one of my favorite Turkish restaurants in the GTA. Solid 4/5! read more

Don't let the photos fool you as the food here is incredibly underwhelming and service is subpar with multiple reminders needed for even the most basic of asks (e.g. water, cutlery). And as others pointed out, it seems like many of the 5 star reviews here are fake as it's the profiles' only review. read more

We ordered the Adana Kebab, Lamb Shish, and the Kunefa. While I'm not as experienced in Turkish Cuisine, we really enjoyed the food here and would definitely come again. The Lamb Shish had huge chunks of tender lamb which while were grilled with that hint of smoke, I really enjoyed the Adana Kebab. Not only were they so tender, but they didn't taste like it was filled with fillers, just flavor from the spice. All if which paired well with the flavored rice. To finish off the meal we got the Kunefa, which was crispy but just a tad too sweet for us. read more

Kebab Istanbul - Adnan Kebob - Middle Eastern Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

Came here on weekend lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Been craving pide for a long time and got the minced beef and cheese one. It was hot and delicious when it came out. Ordered the mixed appetizer with different dips which was great as well. Got the lamb and beef kebab mix. That was good, thought the meat part as a little on the thin side. The rice was good too. Overall a good experience and would come again. read more

Nice interior design. I had the chicken yogurt meze. It wasn't very flavorful. However there was a little serving of fresh baked bread with it which was nice. It's really just an appetizer. I also treated myself to the chocolate baklava which was cool but not as syrupy as other places. The interior design is nice. read more

Tried out Kebab Istanbul for the first time with my wife and baby. We ordered the manisa kebob and the kiremit kofte. The kiremit kofte was like the Turkish version of Italian Meatballs in Sauce (polpette in sughetto di pomodoro). I really enjoyed it, the sauce was like a tomato and roasted red pepper sauce. The meatballs were flavourful and so was the sauce. My 10 month old daughter was in love. Fair warning, wait a bit before eating because this dish comes out piping hot. The manisa kebob was very interesting although it was overwhelmed with yogurt sauce it was still so very good. Many flavours and the whole combination was so very enjoyable. The table next to us ordered the manti, it looked amazing. I will definitely return and try some other things on the menu. Service was a little slow especially seeing that there wasn't many people eating there that day but you could tell it was all due to the fact they were cooking fresh and from scratch. The staff was super polite and helpful. The place was a cute little spot, well maintained and clean inside. I have already recommended this to friends. read more

Absolutely terrible food and service!!! They over charged me for 1 shwarma and rice dish. Forgot my baklava order. Then I asked them to please make me a dish without fries because I am Celiac and can not have cross contaminated food. They just removed the fries and plopped more soggy salad on top. I ended up finding fries under my rice and HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION!!! They should be happy that I don't sue them!!! This was the WORST food that I have ever eaten and these reviews are 100% false reviews. You should be out of buisness!!! You can't even fallow dietary restrictions property!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!! read more

This place has realy good and kind crew. And the soup was delicious. if i would talk about the ambience it has authentic.

Friendly service and fresh food prepared to order. My son and I shared the Adana Kebab combo. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the housemade hot sauce and my son loved the lavash bread. They even gave my son a kinder egg and he was delighted. Unlike other restaurants in the plaza, the restaurant had two small tables for outdoor dining. They also have Turkish breakfast and we are planning to return for that. read more

I tried this place via a friends takeout order. We got the Adana kebab. It was very promising and run by hard working staff, but unfortunately it wasn't the right one for me. It might have just been an off day for them, so I look forward to trying it again in the future. read more

It's a small place to eat, but extremely neat, great customer service & excellent food presentation offering authentic Turkish food !

I discovered this new Turkish restaurant today and was thoroughly impressed! I have been to several other Turkish and Middle Eastern restaurants in the GTA but this may have to be my new favourite. The staff were very polite and informative, giving recommendations and suggesting pairings that went well together. The service was quick and when we got our food is was all warm and fresh! I ordered the Iskender, which is a common order of mine, and this one did not disappoint. The serving size was generous and what I really liked was that the meet was tender but not overly oily. My friend ordered the beef mince pide which was also very good, had a nice thin dough with a good amount of meat. Overall very much enjoyed our visit and will be returning soon! read more

Absolutely amazing! Our large table was accommodated close to closing time and the host could not have been nicer. Each and every dish (we had a lot) was beautiful and delicious. The host also accommodated requests for no dairy and vegetarian plates. All seven of us were very happy with the entire experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

We are here in Vaughan for a wedding and stopped for lunch with our baby son. We were incredibly well received with warm and attentive service from Salomon, who also made amazing recommendations. The food here was some of the best Middle Eastern food my husband and I have had in North America. (I'm Middle Eastern so that says a lot). We happened to be here when they were staging their new breakfast offering and also got to try some of those treats -- amazing. Would 100% recommend. read more
