What Alexander Herlihy doesn't like about #1 Istanbul Kebab House:

We had the lamb kebab and the chicken kebab on the lavish bread and the pita bread and let’s just say these are the best sandwiches we’ve ever had.

The Lamb Doner Turkish/Gyro was terrible. It fell apart as soon as I got it because the vegetables were placed on the bottom.

Disgusting, didn't eat it at all and ontop didn't receive none of the drinks and because of doordash policy couldn't even get a refund
