Je recommande fortement Chef Istanbul. Pour moi, c'est l'un des meilleurs restaurants. Les prix sont très raisonnables & la qualité est toujours au rendez-vous.

J'ai pris le sandwich à l'agneau, & c'était tout simplement excellent. La viande est vraiment fraîche, les légumes aussi, & la cuisson est parfaite. On goûte la vraie qualité.

C'est la troisième fois que je mange chez eux, & c'est toujours la même excellente qualité. Rien ne change, & c'est très appréciable.

En plus, l'accueil est toujours chaleureux, avec un grand sourire. Merci au chef pour son excellent travail. Je vais certainement revenir.

Me pareció bastante rico y contundente con carne, me pedí un sandwich filet mignon y du carne estaba deliciosa, tenía lechuga, tomate y una salga un poco ácida. Volveré con mi esposo.

Such a hidden gem! I was chaperoning a group of 11 16-17yr swimmers in town & need to find a place with generous portion, with food that can satisfy everyone's taste buds. Chef Istanbul hits all the check boxes. Their food is fresh & delicious/yummy. The freshly baked Turkish bread & garlic are also hugely loved by the group. Highly recommend!
