Fabulous dining and variety beautiful .very inviting service .lovely restaurant

One of the best mixed grills I had. love eating here

Istanblue, once a Turkish gem, now boasts a Pakistani kitchen. Though its exterior may deceive with alluring kebabs and vibrant offerings, diners are cautioned. Reports of unsanitary practices, such as improper food handling and hygiene concerns, cast a shadow over its reputation. While some dishes, like the chicken tikka, earn praise for their juiciness, others fall short, often resembling bulked alternatives lacking authenticity. Service is a mixed bag, with instances of indifference among staff. However, the generous portions of their mixed grill provide a redeeming quality, making it a hit for families seeking flavorful experiences—if they can overlook the unsettling hygiene issues.
