A nice and quick Mediterranean food place in Forth Worth. My girlfriend and I tried this place out and we were pleasently surprised. The food was very tasty and warm. The beef kebab was very good.
This is one of my favorite date night places to eat! I’ve been here 15+ times and the service is always great and the food is amazing every-time! The prices are really reasonable as well!
Awesome Mediterranean spot in downtown fort Worth. Highly recommend the cold plate trio, lamb chops and espresso martinis or they call them Turkish martinis. Excellent seasoning on the food and great cocktails. Sam was our server and did a great job I recommend asking for him.
My husband and I were there for New Year’s Eve dinner and it was amazing! Though we were a little late for a reservation due to full parking, they still sat us down. The food was absolutely delicious and we will most definitely come back for more! Our server was very kind and we are glad he recommended us his favorite dish.
A little Turkey away from Turkey! I’ve been to Istanbul Grill and Bar a few times now, and all experiences have been consistently excellent. Most recently, I ordered the lamb tenderloin kebab, which came with perfectly grilled vegetables and fluffy rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors were well-balanced. The service is also top-notch — friendly, attentive, and professional without being overbearing. The atmosphere was comfortable and nicely decorated - the perfect spot to unwind after a long day in the office. It's never too busy or loud, so you can actually enjoy your meal and conversation. Definitely one of my go-to spots!
Everything about this place was amazing. Our waiter Armando was the sweetest, most attentive, and most amazing waiter ever. We sat in front of the bar and the bartender was just as nice and accommodating. He made great drinks and made them so fast. There was no wait to be seated and we came on a Friday night. Within the first 45 minutes of being here, we already had 2 of our appetizers, a second round of drinks, and our entrees were at the table. The service is the BEST here. That’s after we took forever to order our entrees too. The food here is truly some of the best I’ve had. The beef was cooked to perfection with a great garlic butter on the side. The zucchini pancakes were better than I would’ve ever thought - I recommend those the most out of everything. Even the white rice that came with the meal had so much flavor. The leftovers I had the next day tasted just as great. We will 100% be coming back here. This place really seems like a hidden gem. The staff and food here are seriously top notch.
Great food and service. I went on a Monday night and it wasn’t crowded. They bring complimentary pita and olive tapenade before your meal. I got the falafel meal and a side of the sautéed spinach and mushrooms (not many mushrooms). I love spinach so I ate most of it but the portion was enough for two. I would definitely return when I’m back in the area.
Late review, but well worth it. I came here during the winter storm when many restaurants were closed, so major props to the employees for being open and welcoming. I’m not very knowledgeable about Mediterranean food, but Amber did an amazing job explaining the options and was incredibly helpful. I loved the dish she recommended. Overall, great customer service and a very friendly staff. Would definitely come back.
Blown away by how good this place is. Their falafel dinner was so flavorful and satisfying. I sat at the bar and they served me warm pita and an olive dip right away with my beer. Best Turkish place in the US, and it rightfully earns the “Istanbul” name. The server was in incredibly welcoming and friendly which made for a great experience all around. I highly recommend this place if you are searching for a culinary delight in Fort Worth.
What started as a last-minute scramble for a birthday plan turned into one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Taste of Istanbul welcomed our party of eight without hesitation, and the staff was genuinely friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in. The hospitality felt warm and effortless, the kind that makes a group celebration feel easy. Every dish we ordered was excellent, and the flavors tasted authentic across the board. Great ambiance, great food, and that unmistakable Texas-style friendliness. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a place that delivers on both service and quality.
