Eat Istanbul

Turkish restaurant

😐 Chicken shish kebab is very nice with the charcoal flavor. Salad is different from normal kebab places. They did mess up my order because apparently someone took mine? Every one of them got a ticket. How? If I did not ask I would be waiting til dinner time… People often mention kebab, chicken, good, lunch,

    The skewers are quite good. Meat is a bit overcooked, but generally very tasty. The tabouli is not very good, very dry. Falafels aren't very fresh either. Overall quite a nice place, can get busy at lunch times

    Food isn't bad. However if people use card tapping for payment. They charge a whopping 30 cents for a $17 kebab. They sure know the way of generating extra revenue from customers. And the dodgy thing is that if you ask for a recipient, that extra 30 cents are not on their receipt.

    Such delicious kebabs from Eat Istanbul. Don’t listen to the clearly sad pathetic people who gave a 1 star review, they are just moaners. It’s a food court people, not Michelin star restaurant and for food court turkish it’s bloody tasty 😋 and delicious. I really enjoy the kebabs on a skewer 10/10.

    Just bought the kebab today, this place is shocking, they gave me a completed burned pita bread (not eatable), I didn't realise it until i took the first bite, have to throw it in the bin - will never buy it from these dodgy people again! Good luck if you gonna buy from them

    Portions are quite good and filling. Even though the place can be quite crowded during the peak lunch hours but still the service is quick.

    Random find while walking around CBD and now we go here at least once a week. Their kebab boxes are excellent and really great value (sometimes it's so full you can make two meals out of it). Their skewers are also excellent. There's a bit of a wait sometimes as they are almost always busy, but it's worth it. All of the staff is really pleasant as well.

    This place is always crowded in the peak hours. I was randomly walking around one day and got attracted by the smell of barbecue chicken from this store. They grill the chicken on charcoal. The guy who’s cooking the chicken is absolutely skilful. He kept turning and checking the grill chicken as he stood behind the glass. I ordered a chicken wrap. The wrap is the best I’ve ever had! Chicken is juicy and big. They put a lot of salad and dressing inside. The whole wrap was a wonderful experience. Careful that you may get messy when you eat, so be sure to grab free napkins just at the counter.

    I have been having lunch at Eat Istanbul for the last 5 years and would highly recommend! Their food is delicious and healthy! Especially the chicken shish skewers are my favourite! Keep up the good work!

    Decent kebab and service. Got the chicken kebab. Flavour was good and meat was moist and not dry. Customer service was friendly and efficient.

    I got a large halal snack pack which is mixed lamb and chicken donner on fresh fries. They seriously pack it in and I earnestly and honestly wish they could serve this in the states but I know the quality wouldn't be the same nor the serving amount. I'm happy and sad that this isn't near me because if it was I would visit it 6 out of the seven days of the week. It's not insanely thin cut meat either. They do a quality job with it and the sauces are great.

    Amazing food for a half cheat day, there chicken shish is to die for.e Will be coming here again. To the young boy on the grill amazing job champ!!! Was cooked to perfection. The chippys where alittle soggy, but was more then made up for.

    Falafel box was dry and cold, so disappointed. Tabouleh was not great either, 2 tiny pieces of tomato. I won't be back.

  • 5/5 Emily W. 11 months ago on Google
    Been coming here for just over a month but today just hit different, the chicken shiesh was just so juicy. The new guy on the grill put there liquid in that special bottle on the chicken and put a pan over "ive never seen the turkish guy do" It made the chicken so tender and still had the charcoal taste and the turkish lady that served me is just the sweetest person it almost feels like she is my mum!!! I also think its the quickest ive ever received my food i mean they where fast before but damn that kids on fire. I will be recommending this place to my whole office. Keeep up the good work guys!!!

    The kebab and shush kebab in a box is great. Rice is the best I’ve had. The kebabs are flavourful whilst not being fatty. Best kebab I’ve had

  • 3/5 Rashmi D. 6 years ago on Google
    Good food and am glad they had veggie options. Falafel is good and so are the homemade sauces. Gets a bit chaotic at lunch and it may take few minutes for your take away to be ready but overall reasonable as good food matters!

    Poor customer service. The kebab I've ordered was Luke warm and not the traditional one. Bad experience and atmosphere. Never again I will ever go there. Waste of time and money

  • 5/5 Andrew T. 4 years ago on Google
    This is my go-to for lamb skewers in a box with chips and tabouli (with housemade mint yogurt and hot sauce). Plenty of choices of other sides and sauces available. Long queues during peak lunch hours. Come early.

  • 5/5 Ziggy C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great shish kebabs at this place. Add salad and pickles for a healthier option.

  • 5/5 Felicia L. 1 year ago on Google
    The mixed in a box is the BEST ever. The lamb may be a bit pricey but just go for the the mixed meat. YOU WILL NOT REGRET THIS, best ever!

    I have never had good experience at this place, the guy who works there (I think he is the owner) he should learn kindness and empathy, he doesn’t know how to treat people, very rude. I went there to do a delivery and also to get some food as it was my last delivery of the day, but the way he treated me made me lose my hunger.

  • 5/5 Lauren G. 2 years ago on Google
    5 stars for the customer service. I made a mistake when ordering food today, and they went above and beyond to fix it, even though they didn’t do anything wrong. It was a great experience and I’ll be back. Thank you for being so nice.

  • 1/5 Hugo S. 4 years ago on Google
    Obviously a popular place. Don't get me wrong and the food ain't bad, it's a place where you get your kebab and snack pack fix. How could you screw that up? By taking over 20 minutes from payment to food on my hands and leaving me a short time to eat a huge meal, that's how. Sadly when you are at the MLC, you need to be able to cope with the demand during lunch break time and they have proved me by the second time that they can't. Go to the other place at 52 Martin Place if you want a kebab snack pack fix and you are nearby.
