For a good bit of time I went to Istanbul. It was a terrific alternative to your typical meals because frankly they offer a good bit of variety for an extremely low price.
Need to know items:
The chicken salad is your best bang for buck. Also fun fact, they marinate the chicken for 2 whole days prior to you seeing it, it's fantastic.
If it's your first time there and you are a vegetarian or just prefer no meat that day, order a "cold plate" Then make sure to mention it's your first time. If you are lucky they will load up your plate till it weighs about 1-2 lbs. Yes, you will receive what is equivalent to a small child.
It's a cash only place.
You can eat at a small booth their but I don't recommend it. Either take it back you where you work or to EQT plaza outside on a nice day.
Now you may be wondering, well Nick..why did you stop going? Great question. Well it became what some may call an "Addiction" so I decided to ease up on the ole Istanbul gas pedal. If you've never been, go. Hands down recommend it if you work in the city.
Also as a bonus fact: Try and get there after 11:45 otherwise the chicken most likely won't be ready and you will in fact be like "dude why didn't you mention this" Now you can't say that.
