Istanbul's Tulip Turkish Grill

I ordered their chicken kabob and my friend ordered their beef shawarma. We just loved it. It is very pricey I don't think I can afford to eat there on daily basis but once in a while may be, because their menu is very expensive. Other than that very tasty food, I love to order from them again.

Istanbul's Tulip brings authentic Turkish food to midtown Toronto. The dishes have that unmistakable home made quality and great flavors derived from mixing the traditional spices employed by Turkish cuisine. This is not corporate made food but real food made with real ingredients by the ladies in the kitchen that cook food the same way they would do it for their own family. This seems more like a family restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the no-fuss service contributes a lot to it. The servers got out of their way to keep happy our 4 year old son for example.We had: Adana Kebab, Iskender Kebab, Beef Kofte, Kisir salad, organic Humus, in house made bread and all were delicious. The extra creamy home made Turkish yogurt is a must try and so are their baklavas. The complex Turkish cuisine is so underrated in Toronto and Istanbul's Tulip can seriously help change this perception. If you are looking for flavorful, healthy, home made food served in a fuss free atmosphere than this place is for you.

We've been meaning to stop in to this restaurant for some time and finally got there today. We had the Iskeder kebab and kofte. Both were superbly prepared! The kebab was one of the best things I've ever eaten, and I've been to Turkey! The flavours were sublimely prepared. The service is fantastic. We live in the neighbourhood and will certainly be back!

I found the service to be average, and the pizza was below par with sparse toppings. There were only a few strands of mozzarella visible, and the overall quality was lacking.

I absolutely adored Ciao Italia, the restaurant operated by a father and his sons.
