Cafe Istanbul Dublin,

6125 Riverside Dr, Dublin, OH 43017, United States

"Decent food, service wasn't great, but the restaurant was clearly very busy on a Saturday night, so I'm not sure if they were understaffed or if it's always like this. Parking is also very limited. Located on the river so nice for earlier in the evening before the sun sets. Outdoor seating would be nice in warmer weather. It can accomodate larger groups but reservations are recommended. A private room can be reserved for groups of 15-20. The fresh bread and tomato oil is a nice touch."

"Tried this place on a day trip to Dublin, Ohio. I love the ambiance and vibe. The restaurant is pretty spacious with lavish chandeliers. Most of the seating tables got an amazing view of river stream on the right. You would be greeted with house bread and oil as soon as you get seated. The server was polite and friendly. I ordered Stuffed Grapes Leaves which were great having both sweet and savory taste. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Mediterranean food."

"I had been wanting to visit Cafe Istanbul for some time now, and was happy with our first visit yesterday. The venue is lively, the chairs are super comfy, and the food is delicious and well prepared. We went with a large group and they split our checks without any fuss which was appreciated. Overall a great experience!"

"When I say this is the best Middle Eastern restaurant ever, I mean that with all sincerity. I absolutely loved the menu, their bread that is served in the beginning with favored olive oil is the best thing I have ever had. The service was exceptional, the space was decorated amazingly and the food was phenomenal. This was my first time trying this restaurant, and I would go back in a heart beat. For all Ohio locals or visitors, you need to try this. As soon as possible!!"

"Late post* I've only been in Columbus, OH since July but this has to be the best restaurant that we've visited. The food was unbelievable. We've only been here once but we'll definitely be back. I can taste the food while I'm typing this lol. Great food, great service and a great ambiance. Keep up the good work!"
