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.
Love the fresh bread & tasty sandwiches here-always made with care. Their tea is my favorite; it's the perfect cozy companion. Great spot for a simple, satisfying meal!
This is not a turkish restaurant, that's just another random shawarma place & don't even have döner or turkish food. The sandwiches & sauces are very average. Don't understand the obsession of opening arabic restaurant & name it Turkish!!
One of the top Doner places I've tried so far. Freshly baked bread, crunchy veggies, perfecly-spiced meat topped with an exceptional sauce. Only problem is to choose, which sandwiches will you order today. & super-ftiendly staff is a cherry on top!

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
