ISTANBUL HAWAII RESTAURANT

ISTANBUL HAWAII

Enjoyed Istanbul Restaurant on a warm Sunday late morning.  The place filled up quickly and became packed.  Our waiter was fantastic with a friendly attitude and knowledge of every menu item.  Looking through the menu I felt it was expensive.  The Steak and Eggs for breakfast runs north of $150.  Wow!  We ordered the Crispy Reef Squid ($19).  Liked the Squid and lighter breading.  Sauce was a bit bland and we thought the portion was small for the price.  I went for the Lamb and Beef Doner Pita Wrap ($21).  Thought it was pretty good but nothing I would run back to order again.  My Wife had the Eskender Doner Plate ($29) which is the Wrap in a skillet without the Pita Bread.  She was not a fan and didn't eat much.  With a glass of wine this meal was over $100 which we thought wasn't worth it.  I totally understand the cost of food these days but just calling it as I eat it.  Probably will not return but judging from the crowd, plenty of people love this place which is great.
