Absolutely outstanding Iskander kebab. The meat was tender, perfectly seasoned, and topped with a rich tomato sauce that had real depth of flavor. The yogurt was smooth and fresh, balancing the dish beautifully. The bread underneath soaked up all the juices without getting soggy. Served sizzling hot — exactly how it should be. Authentic, generous portions, and very satisfying. Highly recommended.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This is my favorite restaurant in all of Cleveland—hands down! I’ve been coming to Istanbul Grill for many years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently delicious, high quality, and served in extremely generous portions—you definitely won’t leave hungry. The owners and staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, offering genuine Turkish hospitality that makes you feel right at home. It’s also conveniently located near Cabela’s, which makes it even better. I drive an hour just to eat here—that alone says it all! Highly recommended.

Absolutely love this place! The food is always incredible — the kebabs are perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor, and the appetizer platter is a must-try with so many delicious options to share. Every time I visit, the service is so warm and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. You can tell they really care about their food and their customers. Highly recommend!
