★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I went here in a hurry to avoid the rain and fill my hungry stomach. I was drenched in the rain at the time, so I thought I might be worried about the inside of the store getting wet, but they treated me very kindly. I was so happy that the owner was so kind. It was my first time experiencing this kind of feeling abroad, and I was grateful.
September 07 · 박재성After searching for good halal food for the past two days, I finally found this gem! We ordered chicken shawarma, lamb shawarma, and a mixed platter — every dish was full of flavor and absolutely delicious. The meat was juicy and well-seasoned, and the portion sizes were great for the price.The restaurant is clean, staff are friendly, and the service was quick. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and definitely value for money. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic Turkish or Mediterranean halal food!
May 21 · Loves travelPlease visit!! We had the chicken and lamb shish kebabs, both full of flavor and perfectly spiced, with portions that were much larger than expected. The fries were well-seasoned and tasty, though I’d recommend trying more of their traditional dishes over the American-style sides. The Russian soda had a minty taste that wasn’t quite for me, but it was interesting to try. What truly stood out was the service—our waitress, whose name I didn’t catch, was incredibly kind, social, and attentive. She made the whole experience even better, and I sincerely pray Allah blesses her with good health and wealth.
July 23 · AimonThis was my first time trying Turkish cuisine. My friend loves Istanbul Kebab House and I can see why. Immediately the employees greeted us warmly and sat us in a cozy spot. Laura was particularly a stand out, provided recommendations and made sure we got the best deal. The food was flavorful and filling. The stand out was the pistachio baklava, lamb and chicken doner and the tea. I felt welcomed and respected as a customer which is just as important as great food. I will be back!
May 16 · Leah RoysterWe always make time to come eat here every time we visit NYC. We stumbled upon this gem when we were looking for a place to grab some food after a show. The service is fantastic, you feel as if you’ve been invited to eat at someone’s house. The food is so delicious!
