Turkish Grill

As soon as we walked in, we were hit with an amazing aroma of the meat. We were promptly greeted and seated right away and the waiter was very attentive. The menu had pictures which helped make our selection easier. ✨ We ordered the: • Beef tripe soup: 8/10 The light and creamy base was perfectly paired with a good amount of tripe inside. It was served with minced garlic paste and we were encouraged to add chili flakes that was set on the table for additional spice if preferred. The complementary fresh baked house made bread was paired beautifully when dipped with the soup. • Lahmacun: 9/10 The amount we were given for the price was amazing and very tasty. The thin crisp edges with a soft meat filled center was spiced and flavored very well. We ordered it as an appetizer to complement our entree dish. Flavors and portion were the highlights of this selection. Paired well with melon flavor Turkish soda (very refreshing not too sweet). • Lamb Casserole: 8/10 The tomato base sauce was full of flavor and was an amazing dipping complement to the fresh bread given for the table. The lamb was very juicy and tender and practically fell apart. There were some veggies mixed in but flavor profile was lacking a bit but still tastes very good.

The food was fantastic. A little pricey for lunch, but we split the entree. Lahmacun Shepherd Salad Mixed Grill to share Sparkling water and Coke Zero were $3 each. Went on a Saturday about 2pm. It was pretty busy and they had tables booked for reservations. We ended up eating outside - busy/noisy street but the weather was pretty decent. Parking lot was packed. Service was very prompt - the check took a little while to settle - but overall lovely experience and would easily return.

Absolutely loved our experience at Istanbul Mediterranean Grill & Market! The food was authentic and full of flavor—truly some of the best Turkish cuisine we’ve had. A special thanks to Cemil for his warm hospitality and excellent service. We’ll definitely be back!

We were in Turkey a few years ago, and this place reminds us of the good experiences we had with the people, culture, and definitely the food. It is suggested for those who want to immerse themselves in a new cultural experience. Thank you, Cemil, for your service.

Super food! Made fresh in front of your eyes! Try the lentil soup and rice pudding! Very nice little market on the back as well. Authentic as they come.
