Cafe Istanbul is a Cherrywood favourite for Turkish dine‑in and takeaway. The kitchen prepares doner kebab wraps, Iskender rice plates, salad meals, chips meals and housemade Turkish‑style pizzas, with vegetarian choices available. Guests can eat in or order online for a quick, casual meal.
Hands down the best dine-in turkish restaurant in BoP region! Food is fresh and delicious, the ambience is great and service is very friendly! Highly recommended. Their iskender is the stand-out dish, meat is full of flavors, will be returning for sure!
Absolutely loved the food! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt just like being in Türkiye. Highly recommend the mixed grill and baklava — we’ll definitely be coming back!”
I’ve been to Cafe Istanbul before and loved their kebabs, but this time I tried their pizza—and it was amazing! The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, the toppings were fresh, and the cheese was melted just right. Every bite was full of flavor! This is a family-run restaurant, and you can really see the care they put into their food. Everything—from the pizza to the kebabs and side dishes—is made with the freshest ingredients and tastes incredible. If you’re looking for authentic Turkish cuisine, this is the perfect place. Highly recommended!
I have been coming to this restaurant for years with great pleasure. The quality of service, the delicious food, and the friendly and attentive staff have always made it my favorite place. I hope they continue to maintain their high standards. You are the best!
This place is truly amazing! The food is delicious, and the ambience with its antique lighting gives it a charming old-world look. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place!
Once you get in you'll feel a sense of being at home, greeted by friendly staff. The food is great-tasting and served generously. Oh and the pizza.. must have!
Good food, friendly staff. Would definately return. Had the mixed iskender and was a perfect lunch. Pizzas looks good as well.
Came here while on a trip and it was excellent. I looked briefly at their Google reviews (which is how I choose a lot of restaurants) and decided to give it a go. I got a mixed kebab and a side of fries. The mixed kebab was amazing - fresh and just delicious. The fries too (though the kebab was pretty filling, I definitely didn't need them after all). I ordered takeaway and didn't have to wait long at all. 100% recommend.
Superb food, fresh, healthy and very well priced. The food is delicious and comes out very quickly. This is my go to Turkish restaurant in the BOP. Easy parking too
