Best places: Middle eastern restaurants in Turkey

👍👍 Best service and nicest food in Istanbul. Our server - Mohammed - was absolutely lovely. We had no reservation and came here after reading positive reviews about the vegetarian food. I am vegetarian, my husband is not. And I’ve mostly lived on crisps and cookies for our 10 day tour of Turkey! Resto...

👍👍 One of the best restaurants I've tried in this city by far. The ingredients are super fresh, service is quick, staff is extremely friendly.. and the food is just absolutely delicious! Can't wait to try their falafel and hummus again. I highly recommend this restaurant. 👌🏼

Uygur-style Chinese fare, including rice, noodles, seafood & meat, in a low-key setting.

👍👍 I have visited this place twice when visiting Istanbul (an autumn of 2021 and 2022) and this is my favourite falafel place for now in the whole city. Prices are more than affordable, the food is extremely tasty and the stuff is very polite. Highly recommend. Thank you! P.S You should definitely try...

👍👍 Asil is a a blend of Turkish, Lebanese and Moroccan cuisines serves with a modern touch. I tried both the original one in Dubai and the later one in Antalya. Although everything was tasteful but the #hummus was perfectly done; texture and taste. @chef_ourad and his team are doing superb job.

😠 Tourist trap. Avoid this disgraceful place. The price is ridiculously high and the quality of food is horrible. Salty tiny seafood casserole and smallest lamb chop. The waiters tried every possible way to attract customers and then couldn’t care less once you enter the restaurant. Terrible service w...

👍👍 A MUST visit restaurant in Üsküdar in Istanbul… the place is cosy, warm, welcoming and very nice. The food is spectacular as they bring their spices from Jerusalem. The family that owns this restaurant owns a similar one in the Old City of Jerusalem. The have a sense of home cooking and present it w...

👍👍 Great food, mini lahmacun and humus👌

👍👍 We came here for Lunch and we ordered the Mardin special between two people, we were also provided with a big bowl of salad to have with the meal, a free drink on the menu, two free bottles of water and Turkish Tea at the end of our meal, all this came to 205TL. The service was good, we had an amazi...

😠 After being in Göreme a few days and struggling to find Plant Based options, we spotted a sign on a restaurant we were passing coming back from a tour. We were delighted and decided to go there for dinner. When we were seated and leafed through the menu, none of the plant based options, as shown on...

👍 Iraqi food in Istanbul ❤️ The food was sooo good But the reason I give them 4 star because the restaurant is not clean from the dishes to the table

👍👍 You can go whenever you are seriously hungry. Once you are an exemplary tradesman, the waiters are respectful and their only aim is to please. I am telling you visually about the last meal you ate. melted cheddar is very tasty The taste of Adana kebab cooking is very good, the plate is full, and th...

👍 Update: the chef doesn’t come until 1 pm. So if you will go, you should go after that time. This place is so relaxed. A typical arabian style relaxed place with no specific working hours unfortunately. In terms of food, it’s really delicious and high quality products. The falafel, hummus, and bread...
