There are authentic Turkish decorations on the walls, including a large painting of a port. You'll enjoy listening to authentic Turkish music which makes you feel like you are really in Turkey enjoying a meal.

Istanbul Grill serves food that is very typical in Turkey. First of all, you should try shepherd salad. It is made of chopped cucumber, green peppers, onions, tomatoes, and parsley with lemon, olive oil, vinegar, and sumac.

You can also choose another delicious salad which is is made of small, white boiled beans, tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, onion, and olive oil. In addition, you can also eat tasty stuffed peppers or grape leaves.

The soups in this restaurant are delicious. You should try the lentil soup or the yogurt soup. For a main dish, try one of the special Turkish kebobs. In or a pita pizza called leihmaenn.

On the weekends you can try a special dish called menti. This dish is made with small dough shells that are filled with ground beef and yogurt and served with garlic tomato sauce and butter. It is a special dish that is eaten in Anatolia.
