Review Summary

Chef Istanbul is a popular, budget-friendly spot for authentic Turkish food where generous portions, flavorful kebabs, and house baked bread stand out, along with a wide range of items that please students and families alike. The service is generally friendly and quick, with many guests praising attentive staff and a casual welcoming atmosphere, and occasional extras such as complimentary bread or tea, while some visits note busy times and a few dishes that miss the mark. The menu's halal options and fresh ingredients receive frequent praise, and while most reviews are glowing, there are occasional criticisms about pace, pricing, or a temporary closure due to an electrical problem.

Really enjoyed my sandwich at Chef Constantinople! I'd Recommend to anyone in the area!

I was expecting hot food, ordered a kebab sandwich, half cold. Not satisfied.

Restaurant rapide turc. Un endroit authentique & sans prétention avec un menu de brochettes & de sandwich faits de pain maison. Tout était délicieux. Nous avons pris l'assiette de filet mignon & de brochettes à l'agneau. La soupe aux lentilles que nous voisins de tables mangeaient semblait aussi excellente.

5/5 I'm totallyyyy satisfied. I really liked the place. The food was delicious (I had a lamb sandwich). They treat you very nicely. Everything is perfect at this place. Believe me, you will never regret it!

I visited this place for the first time, located in the heart of downtown, had a yogurt tantuni plate & a beef dinner sandwich. I enjoyed both but I prefer the yogurt tantuni. The sandwich lacked flavor but that could just be me. I dipped the sandwich into the yogurt sauce from the other plate lol. I then enjoyed it 😊 The Kunefe with vanilla ice cream was a first for me. It was a pleasant surprise, perfect level of sweetness & becomes rich with the ice cream. It was a perfect meal after a long day at work. I would come back for the yogurt tantuni & kunefe but would also try other items. Round 2: I had the beef plate & it was a real treat. The meat was fantastic, the dipping sauce was amazing, & the bread was fresh out of the oven literally. If you want fresh tasty Turkish kebab, this is the place to go to. I'll try other items soon 😋

You cannot go wrong with the spicy chicken sandwich. The sandwich was delicious, the value was great, the seating is comfortable, & the service was excellent. Definitely my new go to spot for my lunch when I'm on campus. I finished my meal with a hot Turkish tea which was the perfect way to end my lunch experience.

The lentil soup here is so good, especially with their fresh bread. However, I'm not a fan of their sandwiches.

The falafel sandwich is enormous & delicious: well-prepared falafel, good sauce, plenty of veggies & a tasty homemade bun. Amazing quality & quantity for mere 9 dollars. Very nice & quick service. Simple decor, but really clean.

We got the kebab & chicken sandwiches, fries & falafel. Of which fries & falafel was good but the sandwiches had no taste at all. Customer service was terrible, the guy at the front was not happy & not helpful at all. The chef however was pleasant. Positive for being open late but food & service was below par.

My sister got a veggie falafel & it was so good, we all had to come get one. The picture didn't look that good honestly but we were blown away. one of the best sandwiches we've ever had! & I'm not vegetarian

The only reason I went there because of hoping I would eat Turkish Food, but it has nothing to do with Turkish food so I don't want you to be disappointed like me. Food was ok, sandwiches bread was delicious but unfortunately I couldn't find I what I was looking for. Please ask customers if they want yogurt in their sandwich or not!!! Just dont put it....

Pleasantly surprised, if you have throat or jaw issues these sandwiches are great. Easy bite & chew, nicely seasoned & they give you hot peppers on the side to dose your desired heat. Lots of fresh herbs & not greasy Very friendly service & very clean. edit: their lentil soup has saved my life when I was feeling lousy so many times since this spring I love this place
