Istanbul Restaurant and Bakery

"I never put a bad review in my life. I was so disappointed about the food I ordered to pick up. I ordered 2 plates and food was spoiled with unpleasant order and sour taste. I had to sleep hungry that night and through everything in trash. Service and atmosphere of the place seems very nice. But so unfortunate that it is expensive and they over quantified rice over everything in the plate. Don’t get fool by the photos posted here. They don’t make that type of food anymore."

"Revamped dining area and bakery under construction. Great ambiance now, authentic turkish style seating. Food quality and taste is great. Prices are decent, but wish quantity was more. Overall, great renovation by owners and it looks beautiful."

"Their food contain a lot of spices which make the food hundreds time tastier. I have visited this traditional restaurant for many years, never disappoint me. Long story short, on my eighteenth birthday, I have ordered a whole delivery for my family and friends. They did a spectacular job by making the food on time. WHEN YOU HAVE NO TIME TO COOK, ISTANBUL RESTAURANT AND BAKERY IS TO GO RESTAURANT."

"Tried the Chicken Shawarma Plate today. It was amazing. The staff are so so friendly. This tiny little place was such a great surprise to stumble into on this dreary, rainy day!"

"This place is one of my favorite places to eat in all of Maine. The people are great, The menu's awesome (a little pricey but worth it), and they have some things made beforehand that you can grab out of the fridge too. They make the best hummus around; baklava also. I seriously love this place!"
