    I always love going to Istanbul. The food is amazing. The staff is so kind. I love the ambience and the decor of the place. It’s definitely a good place to go for a special night out. I love that it’s locally owned by women. And I love that the food is also sourced from the islands. Wonderful place will continue to visit many many many times. Mahalo.

    First time on Oahu in several years … arrived early and sat at the bar waiting for my friend to arrive - a gentleman bought me a drink and was very sweet. Everyone seemed to know him. Then another gentleman sat next to and again everyone knew him - he introduced to people as if we were long time friends (and I’m old and overweight) I have never felt so welcome in my life!! Our server Gabbi was fantastic! Explained all food and was right on top of all … what a fantastic experience!!
