Cafe Istanbul 326 South Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90212

"Quite a few Turkish customers come here indicating the food is authentic. The pilaf rice is awesome and the tilapia fish was good as well"

"We went there for a breakfast and I accidently ate the dishsoap on my cucumber. The taste was aweful. They still charged us. The breakfast is not like a Turkish breakfast at all and the prices are high considering the bad service. I had the worse experience possible. As a Turk, I dont suggest going there. Find someplace else"

"My visit to Cafe Istanbul was a mixed bag. While the Turkish tea was absolutely delightful, the food, unfortunately, fell short of expectations. It wasn't terrible, but definitely below average. The flavors lacked depth, and the dishes themselves felt a bit uninspired. The service also left room for improvement. The crew seemed inexperienced, with some confusion over orders and delays in bringing out food. I'm sure a bit more training would go a long way in enhancing the dining experience. Overall: Cafe Istanbul has potential, but it needs to work on its food and service to truly stand out. With some tweaks, it could be a great spot for a casual Turkish meal and a fantastic cup of tea."

"I believe the service could be improved to be more professional, especially at this location. We experienced two instances where servers dropped items from finished dishes—one of which involved a butter knife falling onto one of my guests' laps, staining their trousers. In another incident, a server brought a side plate with a new set of fork and butter knife, and the fork fell on the floor during our dinner. I was also delayed in receiving my mint lemonade, while everyone else received their ordered drinks. They could have placed water on the table before serving the drinks. Meanwhile, I ordered lamb chops and two of my lamb chops were missing their bone as seen in the photo. Anyways, unlikely to visit this location."

"Excellent food! Mouthwatering taste. Authentic Turkish food. We had beef bowl, gyro wrap & Turkish Kabab roll. The portion served was more than enough. Menu offers variety of options to choose from. Affordable pricing and foods are all Halal. The interior of the dining area is well decorated and kept very simple. I would highly recommend this place. All the staffs are very friendly &. Welcoming."
