Sometimes you just want something tasty and Istanbul Express delivers that on a plate everytime. Service is always quick and the taste of the food is always consistent everytime you go. Honestly it hasn't changed much for however many years I have frequented this joint. Most of the lunch meal sets are around $70 to $90 including a drink.

Sometimes you just want something tasty and Istanbul Express delivers that on a plate everytime. Service is always quick and the taste of the food is always consistent everytime you go. Honestly it hasn't changed much for however many years I have frequented this joint. 

Most of the lunch meal sets are around $70 to $90 including a drink. Most items offer chips/rice and salad - actually you can go all salad or go 50/50 mix on the rice and chips if you ask kindly. You can get extra add ons like the hummous or the a similar variety of babaghanoush for $28 during lunch time. If you're feeling meaty then go for the three extra wings for $28. 

My personal favourite is the Adana Kebab or the Kofte Kebab (picture attached). If you're feeling particularly manly then go or the mixed grill for $148. It's a lunch fit for a heart attack but your stomach won't complain.

The best thing about this place and the reason why its tasty, in my opinion, is the condiment sauces that come with it. The mildly spicy chili yogurt and the mint sauce enriches the palate and without a doubt the waistline too.... but if you're a sauce man like me then it's all about the sauce... Granted everything tastes the same afterwards - the meat - salad and carbs when you smother everything with the sauce but that's what I am after. When you mix the sauce with the meat grease you know you're building heavy concrete reinforcements for your arteries - but that's okay because the salad balances it out beautifully - especially with that black salt seasoning they sprinkle on top... nice artisanal touch to an already glamorous meal. 

You certainly will be belly dancing for joy and reminiscing the time you visited Constantinopole admiring the merchants of the Bosphorus river.
