Truly a welcome addition to the Northern Ohio dining scene! The service is amazing-- efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, could not be better. The food is flawlessly prepared, flavorful and sensational. I love Turkish cuisine, it's very healthy and many layers of flavor and Istanbul does it right. The family that operates this restaurant really takes pride in their recipes and preparation and sincerely cares that you have a perfect dining experience-- they succeed! We have now been several times and have introduced some friends to this place who also enjoyed it. I can not recommend any one item in particular as everything that all of us have tried has been magnificent!
