Oh my gosh! I was on my way to get a friend at the airport. I stopped by just to kill time and I can definitely say that I will be stopping by every time I’m in the area. The taste is very unique and the portions are more than enough to fill 2 people even though it’s stated as a single dish for 1 person. The look of the place makes you feel right in spot with the culture. My wife is going to be mad at me for going without her but I know I can make it up to her when I make it a date night go to. So 5 stars is what I give because I been to many places where I tried authentic food and this would be one I considered authentic.

This restaurant is beautifully situated with lovely decor and a pleasant atmosphere. It's conveniently located in the heart of the restaurant and shopping district. While the portion sizes could be slightly bigger for the price—comparable to what you might pay in New York or Chicago for a bit more food—the establishment is very clean and well-maintained, and the food is enjoyable. When we called ahead, we were assured that all menu items, including the meat, are halal. Overall, I would rate the dining experience between 3.7 and 4.2 stars, while the location itself deserves a full 5-star rating.
We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, making it worth every penny. I ordered the beef kebabs, while my husband enjoyed the cabbage rolls. As an appetizer, I had the chicken vegetable soup, and he opted for the grape leaves. The bread was served warm and fresh, which we both appreciated. We’re also big fans of Turkish tea and coffee, and they didn't disappoint! The beef kebabs were incredibly tender and cooked to a perfect medium. The service was excellent, and we had a wonderful time overall. We’re definitely planning to return!
Very nice place with beautiful decor and ambiance. Location of the restaurant is in the heart of restaurant and shopping district which is very convenient. Portions could definitely be bigger. Price is the same you would probably spend in NY or Chicago for slightly bigger portions. Overall a very nice and clean establishment. Good food. We called in and were assured meats and all menu items are halal, confirmed it when arrived once again. Food is 3.7-4.2 stars, location is 5 stars. Book a table now

Amazing food, the other location next to the river is nicer but this definitely more convenient right next to the mall, the food is 10/10 amazing everything I’ve tried has been perfect. This location is cozy and looks authentic on the inside. Staff is very friendly and nice. I highly recommend trying cafe Istanbul is u are in the Columbus area
My wife and I enjoy song in here for a break or just dessert during our trips to Columbus. My wife is from Ukraine, and it is hard to find good, fresh Baklava in the area. The staff is very friendly, food is great and the Baklava is amazing!!
The dining experience and service at this restaurant are consistently outstanding, all within a warm and welcoming Turkish ambiance. Having traveled to Turkey five times, I can vouch for the quality and authenticity of the cuisine. Book a table now
The restaurant boasts an exquisite decor with perfectly coordinated colors that transport you to another world. The evening starts off with warm, fresh bread accompanied by delectable spreads.
Lunch course menu is about $12 and it is very worth it! The lamb from kebab was bit dry but the overall food is very nice!
