Went to get a chicken shawarma sandwich. Food came out super earlier than two other guests that had been there before me. Walked 2mins to my home, took a bite off the sandwich & it was cold & smelled like it had been out for a while. I called the restaurant to complain & the staff that answered the call's excuse was that the salads are made cold so thats the reason why the sandwich was cold. I am a chef for 10years & I've lived in Turkey well enough to know Turkish meal. & you don't need to be a scientist to know what a stale old sandwich would taste like. Stop taking customer's money & patronage for granted & do bette

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.
