    The food here is always great. Highly recommend Iksendar Kebab and dolma Service - friendly and supporting a family business! Ambiance - nice outdoor seating at nice. Peaceful yet lively.

    BEYTI SARMA
    Genevieve M.

    Can't believe I had no eaten here yet. Tucked away in Geronimo Plaza this place has indoor and cozy outdoor seating. Flavorful food... we had the Mezze Platter which I enjoyed as a meal. The beyti sarma was delicious and beautifully presented. Large portion sizes. Staff were good about explaining/ describing the dishes if asked. The street car has a stop by the plaza and there is a parking garage adjacent ( it does cost to park... but worth it). This place is close to the university- so street parking is available but challenging. Will definitely return.

    Apple tea and Turkish coffee
    Mandi G.

    Cute quiet little place tucked back on University Blvd. We tried the Turkish coffee (tiny cup, very tasty, thick at the bottom of the cup when finished- maybe it was supposed to be stirred?!) and hot apple tea (yum!) There were a variety of dishes, all sounding delicious, but opted for a couple wraps (preferred the taste of the falafel one over the beef/lamb.) Service was a little slow and they mixed up our wraps (we didn't realize it until a few bites in) but overall, it's a nice little place with a good selection of eats and drinks!

    First time trying Turkish food and it wont be the last. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating, it seems like a family run business. Very eclectic looking restaurant which was very tastefully decorated in the Turkish style. A little hard to find a park with many trees blocks the sign, but it is worthwhile to take the time to find it.

    Falafel wrap looked tasty until seeing/tasting the burned wrap
    Samantha L.

    Excited to try a new place in the area. Went on a busy night as there was a show nearby but was able to be seated quickly. Server was available to answer questions about the menu and offered suggestions. Decor was authentic with some Turkish lamps near our table. Unfortunately I can't give a good rating of the food. Order of hummus for appetizer didn't show up. Apparently it was given to another table. We did get that after asking again but at that point we had our main plates. The hummus was good but many of the pita were BURNED on the bottom and inedible. Ordered a falafel wrap that came with fries and salad. Unfortunately my wrap was also burned so had to send this back as the taste was not good. Couldn't wait for it to be made again. Probably won't be back and will stick to other nearby options.

    Falafael Wrap, Hummus, Babaganoush
    Katerina R.

    Loved my falafel wrap! I don't like when it's too soft, and I like that it's a bit more crisp here. Hummus is also on the more decent side of hummus I've had in Tucson.

    Turkish Tea

    My coworkers and I wanted Mediterranean food and found this on Yelp. The best Mediterranean food I've ever had. The hummus was freshly made. My entree of chicken alinazik was amazing. Great portions and they capped the meal with complimentary Turkish tea. Highly recommend.

    Iskender Kebap
    Margaret A.

    Came here for lunch with our toddler and enjoyed sitting outside. Servers were friendly and patient with our little one. We enjoyed the mucver as a starter with a side of very fresh salad with yogurt dressing. My husband had Iskender Kebap and I ordered gyro döner. Tender, flavorful meat, buttery rice, and rich yogurt sauce on the Iskender. The ayran yogurt drink and sherbet were refreshing drinks on a hot day. Highly recommend.

    Everything is so good! I think my favorite is Iskender kebab.. absolutely perfection. Ambience is a 10 on the outside patio, at night with music, hookah and twinkle lights?!? Who can ask for more

    ADANA KEBAP FRENCH FRIES
    Erdem A.

    I was pleased with the food, I got the adana kebab with fries. The portions were good and the salad was better than most places. The staff was kind and spoke Turkish. The outdoor area was very nice and enjoyable with lighting and a fountain. I also got cheesecake which was delicious.

    Falafel wrap. Looks pretty. Taste not so good.
    Windy T.

    Always looking for something new to try when in the university area for events. Decided to try Turkish Kebab House as its in a great location and had decent reviews. Inside of restaurant cute and appears clean. Was promptly seated with menus. Then it went downhill. Food took a very very long time to come. Ordered a diet coke- all they have is cans so doesnt justify $3 costs. When food arrived, we informed waitres we never got the appetizer. The falafel wraps looked pretty on plate but had so littke falafel you couldnt taste it. The actual wrap was very very charred with a bitter nasty burnt taste. Asked to send it back and did not reorder as it to so long first time we could not wait again. Hummus appetizer finally came but once again pita bread burnt. Not grilled, was burnt. When bill arrived was still charged for the fries and salad that came with the wrap despite telling waitress to take it all back. Overall service not great but food was awful. Will not be back. Much better Turkish food not to far.

    The building was medium space inside and clean. I did like how there's an outside portion. Had good decorations and color scheme. I was excited. The staff didn't speak to me, didn't hand me a menu as they did for previous couple. I get to the counter, I said hello and ordered. The response was "19". I said okay. Gave my card to this gentleman in his hand. Normally people just run my card but he wanted to flip it over to look. When transaction was finished, he put my card on the table. He said, "receipt" and I said no thank you and he walked away from the counter. Didn't say food would be out shortly or will call your name when it's ready. He proceeded to talk with another worker and checked on other guest using sentences. I sat down at the table closet to the door and received odd looks from two servers. Another worker came in and was very nice but I was already uncomfortable. Got my food and left. Didn't feel comfortable eating it so it went into the trash but I will share a picture. Everyone has bad days but it doesn't take much effort to say how can I help you or what would you like to order.

We arrived at 12:30 and they were slammed. No available parking, so my daughter dropped me off (so sweet) and parked a couple doors down. The dining room was packed and noisy. The young man who greeted us said he'd have a table in ten minutes or we could sit in the air conditioned patio area. That's what we did. The patio was quiet and a large fan blowing over a trough of ice kept us cool and comfortable. We started with an appetizer of hummus, tzatziki, pita, and dolmades, with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. The tzatziki was the best I've had. The sliced veggies were great so my celiac daughter could scoop the yummy spreads instead of pita. As lamb lovers, we ordered the lamb kabob plate and the lamb clay pot. The plate came with scrumptious rice, Greek salad, and sliced veg. The clay pot was filled with diced potatoes, tomatoes, and tender cubes of lamb, beautifully seasoned. So much delicious food! Our waiter offered dessert, but we were stuffed and settled for to-go boxes. I had an excellent lunch for two more days! As a big fan of Mediterranean food, I don't know how I could have missed Istanbul, but my first time surely won't be my last.
