Food was wonderful, service and atmosphere was very good. The okra and lamb stew my husband had was yummy. I had the trio of shish Kabobs so so good!! . I will definitely return.
Another hidden gem brought to us via Yelp. Had never heard of this place, but stumbled upon it while driving to Columbus to explore a new to us place we found it. Had not had a lot of Turkish food before, but we absolutely loved it. Everything we ordered was simply amazing.
As a visitor from New York City, I have very high standards. I am happy to report that this restaurant exceeded my hopes. The patio was warm and enchanting and the food was excellent. In particular the dolmades and babaganoush are splendid, paired with crispy pita chips they make on site. Delicious, romantic and quietly festive, the restaurant reflected well on Columbus. As did the Blu Note close by. Next time I am in Columbus, I will definitely eat there again.
I've driven by the Bexley Cafe Istanbul so many times and thought I NEED to go sit on that patio. Last night we made it happen. The patio is picturesque and also dog friendly! I'm not sure if it was temp controlled or something but it was very comfortable despite the hot weather. Great wine prices (~$30 bottles) and a large menu with something for everyone. The complimentary bread was some of the best... warm and soft and comes with a flavorful dipping oil. Food prices are on the higher end for what you get (i.e. $19 for my chicken salad) but the quality was good. Service was a bit clunky... I think they were short staffed.
