This is the best place for food, service, and atmosphere. Everything was excellent, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend for great service! We went to celebrate our 2 kids birthday and they did amazing jobs with food, service and happy birthday song with their name which was shocking for everyone, never knew you can do it with the name, I know u can put happy birthday song but this was a surprise for all of us. Thank you so much to them. Now on this is our forever place to celebrate our every occasion.

After the renovation, we were excited to visit Istanbul Resident, and the decor was truly impressive. My friend and I ordered the mixed platter, and the taste was amazing. They first served hot, fresh bread with butter, which is my absolute favorite. The food was delicious, but the service was a bit slow. Overall, the experience was great, although I was shocked to see that they had increased their prices. I highly recommend it!

Absolutely outstanding! Istanbul Grill Turkish Restaurant exceeded all my expectations. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The highlight of our visit was the platter for four—a generous selection of perfectly grilled meats, fresh vegetables, and flavorful sides that delighted everyone at the table. Each item was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The staff were attentive and friendly, providing excellent service throughout our meal. This is, without a doubt, the best Turkish restaurant I’ve ever visited. Highly recommend!

Everything about this place is amazing! Not only is the food exquisite, but the service was out of this world. Our waiter's name was Ali and he was beyond wonderful. He was sociable and easy to talk to and his recommendations were tailored to your preferences. He did not spare any effort to make our dinner extraordinary and enticed the children to eat their food and made them excited for their meal. You can tell he's made wonderful impressions on all those who talk to him, and some knew him by name. He was efficient and kept his guests happy, everyone in the resturaunt was smiling because of him. I could probably write paragraphs and paragraphs about how remarkable he is, and I most likely still won't due him justice.

Ali introduced me to two menu the Turkish tea and a vegan wrap both I enjoyed The staff treated me like family. I will visiting again soon
