Awesome Mediterranean spot in downtown fort Worth. Highly recommend the cold plate trio, lamb chops and espresso martinis or they call them Turkish martinis. Excellent seasoning on the food and great cocktails. Sam was our server and did a great job I recommend asking for him.

A little Turkey away from Turkey! I’ve been to Istanbul Grill and Bar a few times now, and all experiences have been consistently excellent.

Most recently, I ordered the lamb tenderloin kebab, which came with perfectly grilled vegetables and fluffy rice. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors were well-balanced.

The service is also top-notch — friendly, attentive, and professional without being overbearing.

The atmosphere was comfortable and nicely decorated - the perfect spot to unwind after a long day in the office. It's never too busy or loud, so you can actually enjoy your meal and conversation.

Definitely one of my go-to spots!

Everything about this place was amazing. Our waiter Armando was the sweetest, most attentive, and most amazing waiter ever.
We sat in front of the bar and the bartender was just as nice and accommodating. He made great drinks and made them so fast.
There was no wait to be seated and we came on a Friday night. Within the first 45 minutes of being here, we already had 2 of our appetizers, a second round of drinks, and our entrees were at the table. The service is the BEST here. That’s after we took forever to order our entrees too.
The food here is truly some of the best I’ve had. The beef was cooked to perfection with a great garlic butter on the side. The zucchini pancakes were better than I would’ve ever thought - I recommend those the most out of everything. Even the white rice that came with the meal had so much flavor. The leftovers I had the next day tasted just as great.
We will 100% be coming back here. This place really seems like a hidden gem. The staff and food here are seriously top notch.

Everything was spot on.
Service was very good. Nice environment. Food was delicious.
We ordered the kebab and the lamb. Both were amazing. They gave us a pita dip as appetizer, the tapenade was very good.

Meal started with piping hot, fresh pita with olive topping. Amazing.

Mediterranean salad was fresh and terrific.

Mousakka was phenomenal, with plenty of beef, but still balanced. Veggies on the side were a little too oily but were still very flavorful and not overcooked.

Flan was great for dessert. It’s heavy so share it. But it was truly great. This restaurant’s food is a great value and worth probably 30% more than they charge based on what I got.

I chose this restaurant to impress my coworkers without checking it out at first. The food is decent, and the service is great, but the taste of food wasn't authentic from what I tested. But again it was not a bad choice. They also won't serve the authentic Turkish liquor.

I tried this place a couple of times for dinner and lunch. I enjoyed the atmosphere and friendliness of staff. The restaurant is really clean and well decorated. I tried Mediterranean salad with grilled salmon for lunch with lentil soup and it was so good and delicious. I also tried their traditional Turkish dish (Hunkar Begendi) with lamb and eggplant and it was so good and delicious. Spicy Ezme was great, and their lemonade was not too sweet. The only disappointing experience was the lamb burger which was not cooked very well. All lamb meat is halal at this place.

Armondo was a terrific server and very attentive throughout the meal! It was a wonderful Valentine’s experience. The only disappointment was being seated at a table with the white linen tablecloth that other diners had. I asked and it was taken care of. Our reservation experience through Open Table was great.

Absolutely exquisite food, ambiance and service. Enjoyed the lamb shank rice and eggplant. Well seasoned and tender. The flan is to die for. Just perfect to complete any meal. Our server Batuhan was awesome. Took excellent care of us and checked on us frequently. We will be coming back to enjoy the other wonderful items on the menu. We can't wait.

First time and we loved it! I don't normally like lamb but the lamb shank was delicious! The service here is amazing! Love the atmosphere with the Turkish lamps and dim lighting and calm soft atmosphere! We will be coming back! We got the lamb shank and chicken delight and the Angora Turkish red wine was perfect! Then had to end with Turkish coffee!

We ate here and all I can say is wonderful food! I love Mediterranean food and this restaurant has been the best place I’ve been to. The food is seasoned throughout every bite. Our server was very attentive and friendly. He ensured we had all we needed. Must visit if you have not. I will be back!!
