This is a rustic experience in an area away from the bright lights of Times Square. I had the combination lamb and chicken adana kebab which came with rice, salad and bread. The portion was enormous so no issues with value. The food was delicious and well seasoned.
My Mom, Dad and nephew went there today for lunch. They were extremely pleased with everything! My Mom noted that the restaurant was very clean and the food was absolutely delicious. I'm in Austin, TX and they called me asking for help finding an Indian restaurant nearby 45th St., which is where their hotel is at. But, I know their taste and know that they really love cubed lamb kabob so I broadened my search to include Türkiye cuisine. I found Istanbul Kebab House near to their location and hop
The customer service is good, Gary is very attentive and explained and was so assistive and his suggestions were accurate and highly delicious. We ordered the hummus, and it was so smooth, creamy, rich and fresh. The ambiance and aesthetics are unmatched, and very family oriented. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys Mediterranean cuisine and will be coming back! Living in New York, this restaurant will truly make you feel as though you are in Turkey.
