Istanbul Restaurant in San Juan

Flavor on point and the meats are a delight 😋

The service was very good and the food was really yummy. Expensive but when you are on vacation; expect to spend some money.

Best meal i had in puerto rico!

Delicious food, if you are looking halal restaurant around the old city in puertorico so this is the best one

Absolutely delicious. The ottoman casserole was amazing.

We Absolutely love this restaurant, it’s our favorite in the entire world😅 literally! We have had several different dishes, all have been delicious but our favorite is the tangy dressing they put on their salad. When we visit visit Puerto Rico this is usually where we have lunch or dinner.

Water seemed like it was tap and tasted bad. My husband is from Turkey so came here to support and try Turkish food in Puerto Rico. Ordered a plate just for taste since we had dinner plans. The meat is not halal. Only the lamb is halal.Food was okay but missing some essential flavor. It wasnt bad, so wed be back if in the araea and craving Turkish food.The doner plate usually should be served with grilled tomatoes and hummus but this was served with salad. Staff told us the owner was Turkish but in Turkey.

Great food in a convenient location!

Enjoyed the vegan options. Great hummus and pita. Delicious red lentil soup. Veggie casserole without cheese was vegan and full of flavor also. The quinoa salad had an off taste so it was probably bad lettuce. Service on the first visit was strange at first because nobody greeted us and we ended up seeing someone later and came back in. Then the service was fine. Service was much better with our second visit. Vegan food was good enough for us to visit twice though.

They had just reopened when I went so not all menu items were available.

I ordered the lamb chops and they were very good! They had great service too!

The food was great and the drinks were appropriately strong. The staff was attentive and accommodating. And they were kid friendly.

The place is completely closed , I wanted to mention this without rating but Google not let me

It is what you can expect in a touristy area: expensive and not good. The rice was mushy, no finesse in the presentation of the dish.The dolmas were good and seemed home made.

Everything we ordered was delicious. But the DOLME was AMAZING! Quick service and great hospitality.

Food was delicious! Falafel balls and hummus were absolutely fantastic! Lamb gyro was delicate and perfectly cooked!

Great food! The lamb is halal and the chicken is kosher. The staff is very courteous! Would be coming again for sure!

I have been coming here for 10 years. Although I consider the food to still be pretty good, it is a shadow of what it was when I started coming here years ago. At that time I recall that it was run by two Turkish guys and the casserole was nothing short of amazing! Now it is just ok. In the past they also brought extra pita bread with multiple sauces. I recommend that they bring back the original owners to refresh on authentic Turkish cooking and spices.

Dry up rice, bad quality of food, expensive for the portion of food. Not even worth time or money. Just skip.

The best food Ive had in PR. Recommend this as a lunch or dinner spot.

We live in NYC and have lots of options for Turkish food. This place was really good. And…our 3 boys that refuse to eat much of anything also loved it

Food well spiced and tasty. We ate here twice easy vegan options and decent value. Waiter replaced my first glass of wine (oxidationno issues. A bit understaffed but if you can relax and adjust to island time it’s great. Decor minimal but that doesn’t detract from yummy food. Fresh and tasty

Amazing hole in the wall kind of place in Old Town! Food was very tasty, servers could speak English and were very friendly. Good vegetarian options.

Usually try to stop by here when were in Viejo San Juan. Everything we tried has been pretty good. The service is friendly and prompt. I do wish it was a little spicier, mainly the Hummus and Baba Ghanoush.

Worst Turkish food ive had ever. Im Turkish and the food wasnt even close to Turkish food. The service was very bad. The yoghurt they served had clearly gone bad, and when I told them that the yoghurt tastes off, they told me that "yoghurt cant go bad because yoghurt is just milk that has gone bad". 😆

Ordered a $60 take out dinner- gyro dinner, moussaka dinner, and falafel. Was asked about two sides, was only provided one. 5 Falafel balls were the size of a large marble. Picked up, with no one in restaurant besides myself and employees, and when asking about my other side, was told I must have order from another restaurant. Let’s just say I really wanted a gyro and this all made me very sad. The gyro itself 2.3 out of 5, this is a direct reflection of my post. Picture provided, yes that’s an $16 dollar gyro……benefit of the doubt, maybe just don’t take out. Next time, I’ll just go to Subway.

Good food and friendly service. Try the appetizer sampler - we had hummus, tziki, and doulma. Chicken curry, lamb chops, and Moussaka are all good.

I found the food here to be meh at best. I ordered food to go and got the veggie casserole which was a small bowl of stewed vegetables with feta on top. I also ordered falafel balls and chicken kabobs . The Kabobs were dry and flavorless and I actually found tastier ones at a food truck nearby. I found this place a little overpriced for what I got .

The food in here is amazing. One of my favorite places to go eat or grab a gyro to go. The price is fantastic and the amount of food they serve you is filling.

It was our first day in Puerto Rico and we were anxious about finding a good vegetarian meal (no eggs, meat). We came by this restaurant and found few options to choose from. We ordered a platter where you could choose upto 3 appetizers, and we picked hummus, falafel and baba ghanoush - and it was so yummy. The appetizer came with pita bread too - we liked that it was toasted! For main course, we had veggie casserole which was heart and tummy filling.For drinks we ordered Moscow mule that had a nice cinnamon flavor added, and a green apple martini - which was good too!The staff was courteous and followed covid protocols. The tables inside were setup at safe distance.

Curry chicken was amazing. Seasoned perfectly. Good customer service. However, like most places in San Juan. The wait time was pretty ridiculous.

Great food, excellent service. The only thing that bothered me a little was that the music was a bit loud.

After 2 days in Old San Juan , we found this gem of restaurant. Excellent service and superb food! List of wines is short but good choices and prices are ok. We had the sampler platter with hummus, eggplant and falafel, the mixed grill of lamb chops, meatballs and chicken breast were fantastic. For sure it is a must visit next time.

Delicious turkish food

We had a lovely time sitting outside at this restaurant in Old San Juan. We decided to eat here as soon as we saw the cuisine. We walked around a bit and hurried back. We had a wonderful waitress and loved the mixed appetizer sampler and the doner kabab and more! Excellent option for lunch and dinner in OSJ. We will be back.

At Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Awesome place! Good food! Superb coffe!

The Chicken Curry might have been the beat thing I ate in a week in Old San Juan...

Went for dinner last night! Everything was absolutely fabulous. The pricing was perfect. The service was amazing. The food was superb! I highly recommend. As someone who lives in OSJ, I will definitely be making this a frequent stop!

Really great service, food was delicious! The decor/ambiance is decorated very simple. We ordered a pita chicken wrap, pita was really fresh and tasty. and the Sigara Boregi (Feta cheese rollsvery crunchy, warm and delightful.

Very nice little spot with super excellent food. Our waitress gave excellent recommendations and consistently made sure we were tended to. The ground beef over eggplant with mozzarella—delicious! Curry chicken—delicious! Chicken kebab—delicious! If unsure theyve a sampler you can order to try smaller portions, but everything was delicious.

Stopped by for a quick lunch, had hummus and falafel as apps, shared a chicken curry with rice and veggies. The food tasted fantastic, service was fast and super friendly. The homemade lemonade was so good, after walking around Old San Juan.

nice cozy place with good food. however, our waiter was a bit impatience and the prices are a bit pricey. specially the beer(you dont have a menu for the drinksyou can find much cheaper in other places

Vegan/Vegetarian options were great. Very nice atmosphere. The staff was very easygoing. Dolmas were hot and tart though.

Awesome food!!! Had a lamb gyro that was one of the best that Ive tasted! My wife had a vegetable gyro and she was very pleased with it as well. Will definitely be coming back! The place is a little small so it can get crowded quite fast, but dont let that stop you if you are searching for an awesome meal.

Nice cozy place. One of the waiters was a bit rude probably because it was late and Christmas eve. But the food was nice and we finished it without any left over!

Food was delicious, great service. Would definitely recommend

I had the Döner Wrap (Gyroand it was excellent. Great portion of lamb, delicious, and at great price. Highly recommended! Great service too!

Pretty decent and not too crowded. The only downside is that the dishes could have been more flavorful, they were on the bland side.

Marvelous. Just Marvelous. We shared the Grilled Platter with hummus and eggplant appetizers. The lamb chops were grilled to perfection. Everything was so good. Thanks, Rosanna and the rest of the staff for making our restaurant choice so gratifying.

Great ambiance and delicious food. The space has fairly limited seating compared to the other restaurants nearby but they do take reservations. I wouldnt recommend a group over 4-6 people at this restaurant. The service was great. We ordered the Hummus for an appetizer, and the Chicken Ottoman and Lamb Meatballs for entrees. All the food was great, but I would recommend the Chicken Zottman over the meatballs.
