After an afternoon in Portuense, we wanted a light cena, and we chose Cafe Istanbul Kabab. You…read moreorder at the counter and take your food tray to a table. The menu is on the wall behind the counter in Italian. There was one server this evening who spoke English, and he was very helpful selecting items. There were four of us, and we ordered several dishes. Mine were Grilled Chicken (2/5) and Kuzu (4/5) with pita. The chicken was overcooked and dry. The kuzu -- a Turkish lamb stew with potatoes, peas and red bell peppers -- was very good but salty. The cafe interior is very plain with about a dozen tables. Beer and soft drinks are available, but I don't remember if there was any wine.

Our party of four came across this little place as we were walking back to our hotel after a…read moremorning tour of the Vatican, so we stopped in. We'd seen and rejected a couple of other doner places earlier in our stay in other neighborhoods because the menus looked odd: doner and kebabs were there, but seemingly as an afterthought to pizzas, hamburgers, and sandwiches. This one was the same, but now we were hungry so we gave it a try. I figured the burgers and pizzas were there to draw in tourists, but if we stuck with the doner, it'd be good. We ordered two doner sandwiches, a wrap, and a plate that came with meat, salad, and fries. We also got a plate of fries to share. Those came first, and they were crispy and piping hot. The entrees were also very good...but the meat was unlike any doner/gyros any of us had ever tasted. It tasted like carnitas. Ya know--shredded pork. I could see a sign from where I was seated proclaiming that all their meat was Halal, in which case it couldn't have been pig, but still... I wondered if they kept a secret stash of pork for the customers who didn't didn't appear to be Muslim, or if they had some weird technique for shredding their gyros that gave it such a different texture, but I didn't have the guts to ask our host. So the food here, while delicious, will always be a bit of a mystery to me.

For that price, I feel like I should eat two, just because it's such a deal. One of my friends ended up grabbing a 22 oz. beer for 1.50 Euro (I think.. things were a bit hazy).

We're from NY and these type of places are known to always have the best food and it didn't disappoint! I had a plate of shawarma with rice, salad and fries and the combo comes with soda.

The restaurant is very clean, plays good music (not loud), excellent and very polite staff (only speaks Italian but very patient with us non-Italian speaking NY'ers).
