We’ve had a few people ask about our köfte (Turkish meatballs), so we decided to bring it back for a little while. ❤️🇹🇷

Our Turkish köfte (meatballs) served with seasoned rice and a side salad. Simple, filling, and one of those dishes that just feels like home.

Meatballs + rice + salad

This one is limited time only, so if you’ve been waiting for it, don’t wait too long. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

And while we’re at it — what else do you miss from our old menu? 👀

Tell us in the comments. We’re listening. ❤️

🇹🇷 A Taste of Türkiye, A Story That Goes Back Centuries

Turkish cuisine is more than food — it’s a reflection of centuries of history, shaped by the cultures and traditions that crossed Anatolia and the crossroads of the Ottoman world.

From smoky kebabs cooked over open flames to fragrant spices, fresh herbs, warm breads, and dishes meant to be shared, every plate carries a little piece of that story.

At Istanbul Grill Cafe & Bakery, we bring those traditions to your table with flavors inspired by the heart of Türkiye — made to be enjoyed slowly, shared generously, and remembered.

✨ Come hungry.
🍽️ Bring your people.
🇹🇷 Experience a taste of Turkish tradition.

Join us today and let your table become part of the story.
