I started with the hummus, which blew me away—I had high expectations, but it surpassed them. It was so delicious that I didn’t want it to end; honestly, it's the best hummus I've ever had. The pita bread served alongside was light and fluffy, complementing the hummus perfectly.
For my main course, I ordered the beef kabob served over rice with hanger steak. It was decent but not particularly memorable. I find it hard to give high marks to any steak that’s burnt, even just on the edges — there’s no excuse for that. The vegetables on the plate were fantastic, though they could use a bit more salt.
Overall, this spot seems like a great choice for a business lunch. However, be aware that drin...
Abby is a beautiful example of how professional, exceptional, attentive, and inviting those in the dining industry should be. She is one of the reasons I enjoyed my dining experience. Istanbul Grill is a beautiful restaurant with delicious dishes that are sure to satisfy. They start you of with pieces of naan accompanied by olives. I don't like olives but these changed my mind. The taste wasn't overpowering. My entree was the salmon. Tender, flaky, seasoned perfectly. My only issue with it was that one piece had 3 bones in it, which I caught just before swallowing. Other than that, I believe I will return to try more of their tasty offerings.
The food was amazing with so much flavor. My only feedback and the reason why I removed 1 star was due to the service and wait time of getting our order for desserts. We tried to catch our server's eyes plenty of times and had to wait literally 30 to 40 minutes to get a dessert menu and a cup of turkish coffee. Then our desserts come (mind you it was amazing and we are glad we waited) but our coffee never did and we were just too exhausted to wait any longer so we canceled our coffee which our server knew and canceled the coffee order and apologized plenty of times.
Amazing experience, Food is fantastic, Smooth atmosphere, clean, organized and has a hard-working staff. Unforgettable experience with an owner that puts customers first and cares about your experience. 'Leave your tastebuds happy and stomachs full because a Turkish meal is the right meal for you, promise '. Thank you!

Wonderful lunch place! There were 7 of us on a break from a conference and they served us very quickly! Great food, great price, great service! Darci was so friendly and attentive! -Grace Speese, President Farmers Branch Chamber of Commerce
My family often dines at Istanbul Grill before going to an event at Bass Hall. It's one of the few restaurants that managed to survive the Covid shutdown. The service is consistently top-notch and the food is consistently scrumptious.
This restaurant never disappoints! Food and service excellent. The Chicken Delight is a family fave but everything is fresh and good. Wish they had a modified lunch or special brunch menu on the weekends.
Loved the shrimp appetizer!! Very good babaganoush. Chicken kbobs were very tender, but could have benefited from a bit more seasoning. Service was awesome.
