Great food at reasonable prices. Good for late night dining. Hungry during day and want to grab good food fast — go here. Hungry at night — go here as well. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend to eat here.

By far the best and only Turkish restaurant I will go to from now on. Everything was amazing and I love supporting little mom and pop shops. I had the breakfast platter and it was out of this world. Something different and refreshing.

Came here recently with a group of co– workers– best idea ever! Collectively we ordered an array of plates to try a bit of everything. Chicken, lamb, hummus, dumplings, rice, tea, baklava, fresh baked bread. They have completely revamped their menu and even repainted the restaurant to add a clean and fresh feel. We sat outside & all of us were impressed with everything we tried… vowing that we would return. Hmmm… maybe I will«forget» to bring lunch to work tomorrow…

I’m dying. In a good way. I ordered from Café Istanbul using Eat24 to deliver. I ordered the lamb shawarma plate which comes with some of the most delicious rice I’ve had and a side of hummus and salad. The plate also comes with some homemade bread(which was alright). My sister got the chicken shawarma plate. We also tried the baklava and fries(which were randomly hecka good!). I’m incredibly full at this present moment because I just couldn’t have practice self control… it was that good. Slightly unrelated, why the heck was my delivery guy good looking? I wasn’t ready for that.

Seriously some of the best food I’ve had in a long time! The dumplings(can’t remember the name!) with tomato sauce and yogurt were AMAZING. Try the Turkish Tea and a piece of Baklava for dessert. Friendly, attentive staff, and great service too. 5 very enthusiastic stars!

Went here for the first time with my friends and I have to say they won me over right away with their super friendly customer service! My server went above and beyond to accommodate my vegetarian needs which she was very sweet about! Food and cleanliness of the restaurant was excellent :) definitely recommend this! I ordered the lentil soup and it was delicious… my friends loved the chicken more than the beef

Food was good. I had the Lamb plate which was cooked well. Hummus was good and the quantity of food was great for the price. Will visit it again.

The food was great, however the delivery did not include what I ordered. It was missing baklava, the sole purpose of my order, the wrap and everything else was a side order for me. Keep it real and re-stock on essentials!

Came into this place after going to Parq. Service was ok, rice was kind of dry. Lots and lots of drunk people. But it’s open late night, so you can’t really complain.

I go there a lot and would have given it 4 stars last year because the food is good but the interiors quality was lacking a bit. I was happy to see they renovated when I went there a few days ago, so it’s 5 stars now. Food is great and make sure to ask for their tea.

It’s one of the best doner meats in San Diego. I’ve been to Istanbul and this place does not disappoint. Great prices and friendly service. Plus it’s in the Gaslamp quarter!

The new owners are very nice. They have lots of experience. They worked for fine restaurants managing different departments. The food is clean and delicious. Exactly what I am looking for. I heard they are going to start serving breakfast soon.

I have never had a shawarma before, and I have to say, I’m glad it was here. It was so delicious! We tried lamb and chicken, and they were great! The customer service is awesome, these guys are very helpful and polite. Highly recommend this place. Oh! And the fries are great!!! They are magic.

Not many late food options except for pizza and Mexican food, but Instanbul absolutely hits the spot! Food came out quick and was amazing. To be honest I don’t remember what I got, it was a wrap with gyro meat inside I believe, but for all I know it was a rice dish with chicken. Either way I’d love to come back and try more of their food.

We were visiting from Canada and Unilocal brought us here with the positive reviews. Used the Unilocal coupon and got a free drink. Ordered the Lamb platter and it was mighty tasty! The server tonight made every effort to make sure our visit was pleasant. and did! Thanks for the great food and wonderful late night family service!

I came here a few weeks ago with my supervisor just to try it… Trying it turned into a weekly visit. I’ve spent a few years in the Middle East and nothing comes close to the real deal then this gem. It’s a small but convenient shop with a large variety of plates to chose from. The #8 with a side of Dolma always hits the spot. It’s is reasonably priced, amazing quick service and the cashier is always professional.(He’s the guy with the glasses) This is a def must stop type of spot for people who are curious to try something new.
