Really good food here. Familiar mediterranean dishes but more Turkish cuisine. Grape leaves are awesome even served cold. I had the Ali Nazik - grilled lamb over roasted puréed eggplant and yogurt with a sun dried tomato sauce. Sigara Borek- pastry with feta and parsley was really great. First time trying chocolate baklava too. Even the boys liked it! Great food and the staff are very friendly.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Morgantown. I will ALWAYS recommend it to people. The food here is SOOOO good. Its a cute "mom and pop" restaurant type of atmosphere. Parking can be difficult at peak hours, but if you have the chance to try their food, go for it! Pictured here is Beyti with Lamb and Chicken Shish. Both delicious, of course.

Great adani kebab(abit spicy) but good. Iskender kebab was delicious, the appetizers were ok, hummus not so creamy. The tea was on point. Nutella Baklava was too sweet for me

I’ve wanted to try Istanbul for nearly four years and I’m sad it took me so long to do so. This is easily one of my top 3 restaurants in Morgantown now. I went on a busy night and had to wait a little while as the place is run by two kind gentlemen. The food was worth the wait and the service was superb despite. 10/10 recommend coming here for authentic, tasty middle eastern cuisine. Try the lamb!

I had to order three entrees in order to be satisfied, but I do have a big appetite, to be fair. Everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful, though. The service was the best part. Our server went above and beyond and provided us numerous complimentary items to sample, which was muc
