The service is always good, and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. They sometimes have music, but it's never too loud, so you can still enjoy your meal and have a conversation.

The good & the bad…read more.. I'll start with the good. By the time I got my food, I was so hungry I would have eaten anything. I came in around 1:20, was greeted and gentleman took my order for dine out to go. He said to give him 10 minutes. I sat patiently reading the reviews until 2:00pm when he brought me my food to go. At this point I almost felt sick. I was hungry an hour ago. The reviews were mostly positive so I was eager to try it tho I wasn't well. I order a combination plate with fries, soup & hummus. I got a combination plate with rice, soup & hummus. The soup was aight. 6/10.... The gyro was ok. 7/10.... The chicken schwarma wasn't flavorful at all. 4/10.... I got a smidge of hummus and sauce to help get the meat down. The rice was ok. 4/10... Overall for 40 minute wait and $23. I won't be back. I could have drove to Dallas and ate, and gotten what I ordered and been satisfied. With so many great food options around I'm very surprised they have been for as far back as the reviews go. I wish them best of luck. I guess if you're in a pinch check it out. Hope your experience goes better than mine.

They don't interact much during the meal, but we were perfectly fine with that. Even though the vibe was on the quieter side, there was a steady flow of customers the whole time. A great first experience overall!

Some of us had gone to a bar nearby to watch one of the World Cup games going on at the time. Istanbul Grill & Bar seemed like a good place to check out. The inside is quite nice and elegant - a place worth dressing up for and seems best for a dinner date. Although we didn't quite meet either of those, we were more than welcomed nonetheless with our party of six. We were seated promptly during the late afternoon. To add upon the impression of a refined vibe, the dishes, cutlery, and especially the glasses were beautiful. I don't recall going somewhere where the lasting impression months later remained to be something so seemingly peripheral. They have a complimentary dish - pita and a olive tapenade. I'm not the biggest fan of olives but still delicious. Aside from water, I also had a Turkish coffee. I believe this was my first time ever having Turkish coffee. It was deep and earthy. I know it's supposed to be served in a small cup but I definitely wish I could have more, it was that good. For main, I got the Adana Kebab. It's smoky and spiced well. Served with rice and some veggies, it's quite delicious. Overall, quite a nice atmosphere in a restaurant that nails it on the details while provided some well flavored Turkish dishes - I recommend.

It wasn't great, but it was good. A disappointing part was that you pretty much have to valet your car. It's $20 if you're not eating there or in the hotel, and it's $10 if you are eating in the restaurant. That does not include your tip. It was restaurant week, so we thought we would give Emily a shot. What we found was that, because I wanted the sea bass, if we ordered off the menu instead of the restaurant week special, we would save about $20. That doesn't make sense.

Rice was cooked to perfection, and the kebabs were to die for. We had the family platter, which came with all seven types of kebab meat. They were all excellent. The interesting part was that we all had a favorite, and none of our favorites were the same. Dessert was excellent as well. We had pistachio baklava with Turkish coffee. The coffee was a new experience for all of us. It's really strong, like espresso, but not the same as espresso. Really liked the ambiance as well. The nice silverware and glassware on the tables was set off against rustic bare wood walls. Felt a cut above the average. Only complaint was they didn't brew their own tea. I ordered iced tea, and they brought a bottle of iced tea to the table. Oh well. Nobody's perfect. But we will be back. The food here rocks.

Even though we were the only ones in the restaurant at the time, which was 5:30 in the evening, which I thought was weird. Now, about the service: the weather was very nice, but he didn't tell us like what anything was, and gave us water, but didn't ask us when we wanted anything to drink. He gave us some fresh bread, but didn't tell us anything about what the weather was or anything. Which there was no butter. I finally told him we would like to order a Prosecco and a Turkish beer. The Prosecco was not good at all but my husband loved the Turkish beer. The food was amazing! I had the chicken kebab and my husband had the stuffed cabbage. When I told him it was our anniversary he gave us a homemade baklava which was good. Now would I be back yes but I am hoping for better service and better drink menu.

I looked at the star rating but did not notice that many reviews give 4 stars but the review is not worth 4 stars. In general, the food was really disappointing. We started with a dip platter. The hummus was some of the most bland hummus I have ever had and the pickled vegetables lacked any punch. My wife had what was supposed to be flat bread layered with beef and lamb. When it came out it looked and tasted like tortillas with layers of chili. I had the salmon kabob. The salmon was overcooked and had no seasoning at all. The ambiance of the place is really great and the service was good. I'm not often in Fort Worth, but when I am I would go to King Tut's instead.
