Istanbul on King - Newtown

Nearly 20 years ago istanbuls opening may have distributed at least one low-end competitor from the business. isanbul is still popular, especially late, as it opens up to midnight most nights, but it now stands much stiffer competition from many fancier medium sea places in newtown. istanbul certainly does not fit them with the mushy reheated felafel instead of the rich crispy art, although all the other ingredients, dives and sides in the window are clearly decent quality. the price is not high, $10 for felafel with the go, but they can pay over the same for a much better (but different, though similar) offer of cairo takeaway. some seating in the inner (a few stools at the...more

Terrible service. Went to use the washroom right after I ordered and didn't recognise me and wouldn't let me back in. Blablabpablabkabla 150 word count done
