Absolutely incredible experience at Istanbul Mediterranean Grill & Market! From the moment we…read morewalked in, we were treated like family. The customer service was genuinely some of the best we've ever experienced it was warm, welcoming, and so hospitable. The bread was phenomenal and worth the visit all on its own! We ordered two İnegöl Köfte plates to split between two adults and one child, and honestly, one plate would have been plenty because the portions are so generous. The köfte was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the rice was absolutely delicious, and the fresh salad was the perfect complement. I also ordered a side of chicken just to try it, and it was equally flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. For drinks, we tried the Turkish pear soda and the orange soda. Both were delicious, but the pear was my favorite and is a must-try! If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Turkish food with generous portions and outstanding hospitality, this is the place. We will definitely be back!

They were also out of the crab egg roll, out of sweet tea, and out of lettuce in which we like to wrap the bulgogi. We ordered mandu, it was good but a little bit doughy because of the wrap they use, not as crispy as we would expect. I ordered the dolsot bibimbop. Mine came out first and was sizzling hot. No complaints, the egg had a runny yolk which means it was not overcooked like many I have had in the past. The bibimbop sauce is delicious with just the right amount of kick. Waitress brought out banchans, there were six different types, pickled eggplant, nori, broccoli, kimchi, bean sprouts, and cucumbers. Son ordered pork bulgogi. The plate was heaping with pork, and the sauce was nice and thick and stuck to the pork. Spouse ordered beef bulgogi and it took about 10 minutes for his to come out after our son and I had our meals. The plate was heaping, but spouse said the beef was a little bland, but some of the bibimbop sauce took care that. Son and spouse took leftovers with them. We were kind of disappointed in the items they did not have, but the lady waiting on us was nice and we realize they are a small business and when things are busy, it is easy to run out. The interior was a little dark, did not go to the restroom so cannot comment on the cleanliness but what we did see looked clean.

So happy I finally tried this place. I'll definitely be back!

The green sauce, spicy rice and fried fish options are not ones that are available at many NYC carts. Their white sauce is a little more tzatziki-based than the more mayo-based NYC carts, but perfectly good, although I'd recommend getting an extra on the side. It's 20-25 minutes from my house, or else I'd eat lunch there once or twice a week. Recommended.

The food was absolutely delicious! I have tried many Middle Eastern restaurants, and this is…read moredefinitely one of the best. If you love Middle Eastern food or want to experience authentic Yemeni cuisine, this place is a must-try. Eismaiglyn took great care of our table.

I would recommend making a reservation, especially during busy hours, to avoid waiting. Great food, great service, and a wonderful experience!

Recently made a trip down to Tampa to give this place a try. Unfortunately, our experience didn't…read morequite live up to the great reviews. I will say that the spicy chicken on hummus was really flavorful and was definitely the highlight of our meal. My only concern was that some pieces of chicken were hot and fresh, while others were noticeably cold, which made us a little hesitant to continue eating it. We also ordered the Fancy Romance, and there is definitely plenty of food to comfortably feed four people. Unfortunately, we found the chicken itself to be a bit bland. The salsa also tasted a little off to us, so we decided not to continue eating it. It made us wonder if we may have come too early in the day and received food that wasn't as fresh as it normally is. With so many positive reviews, I'm hoping we simply caught them on an off day. Unfortunately, between the food quality, price point, and customer service during our visit, I personally wouldn't make the trip back or recommend it based on our experience.

Inside, they have a nice salad bar/hot food bar for lunch! Looks amazing! Next time I'm going to try it! OuiOui :)... First thing I notice is, every table has a shaker of Sumac on it! Every single one! I'm thinking right away, this is the place for moi. I get some hummus, shake shake shake, some sumac, all over it... I'm already in heaven :)... My waiter was a very kind man that told me he would customize my order for me if I wanted to do the combo for two as my hubby wanted me to bring him some. So I got the combo for two with lamb instead of Filet mignon. It came with one chicken Shish kabob, one lamb & two ground beef, grilled veggies & a ton of rice. WOZA! :).... Shake shake shake some more sumac & moi makes a huge dent in the combo by myself. I ate all the chicken, accidentally. (whistling sounds) LOOK at the char on that chicken WOZA! :).... The lamb, superb. The ground beef Shish I usually don't care for. Not this place. The ground beef Shish is fabulous! :)... Shake shake shake some more sumac... I'm in heaven....

The only miss for me was the raw white part of the green onions in the salad, they were a bit too chunky for my taste. The chicken, though? Perfectly grilled...crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. It came with a tzatziki sauce that was more on the liquidy side, which isn't my favorite texture, so I just used it as a dip for the chicken and hummus. Heads-up: the menu on their official site isn't updated, but if you Google "Tasty Mediterranean," it shows accurate prices and lets you order online. It came out to $17.99 plus tax , which is a little pricey for lunch, but the portions were solid and the staff were super friendly so no complaints there!
