Istanbul Bar and Grill in High Peak

The meat is tender and savory but alway delicious. My boyfriend usually alway orders from them. I love the salad and the Turkish coffee with sugar. I had the mixed kebab. I would have gotten it with pita because I love pita. I recommend the food here to try. It's cozy little local area.

Good food quick, quality service, adjustments made to my food allergy.

We really enjoy this authentic experience.

I always the gyro platter with 2 dr pepper

Went for their $10 gyro/chips/drink lunch special. Seems very authentic like a mom and pop type establishment and like it's been there a long time. Great gyro. Will be back if I'm in that area. Free parking available in back

My review could be updated soon after I'm able to taste the kebab. There wasn't any lamb ready when I went. I chose the gyro instead and it was good. The meat was a little dry probably cause it was made earlier in the day but the seasoning was on point. I could have gone for a little more sauce that way the whole gyro got it. Other than that, not a horrible experience.

Always great! 10 dollar gyro chips and soda……beats any drive thru all day long! Homemade hummus was on point as well!

Went here to grab a quick lunch with a friend. It did not disappoint. Had the gyro sauté, legit. Waitress was very attentive and courteous. I will be back. 👏🏼

If you like gyro or kebab, don't miss this little jewel! I went for a concert in the area, saw this place, stopped in, food was fantastic! This is the real deal here! I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often! Thank you for being great!

The food is authentic and fresh. The owners are super friendly. The only thing is that there is no AC. It was a very hot day on 8/2/24. It felt like 112° outside and inside. They do not offer ice, and the can drinks ( Coca-Cola products) were not cold enough. It's best to take out than to eat in.

2 spoons of light yoghurt buttermilk $3. The salad next to the meatballs was watered down. I personally didn't like it.

Awesome staff but terrible food, ordered lamb shish Kebab and received beef. I definitely do not recommend the underseasoned beef and plain rice with a simple side salad, very boring meal and small portions. Not worth the price with the terrible value. Dolmades were delicious though.

Highly recommend the gyros 10/10 Food is fresh and delicious. They have a spinning spot of meat which is obv a green flag for a place that makes gyros. The vibes dinning in are great, only knock is the AC can't compete with a crazy heatwave rn and water is bottled not tap.

No A/C, awful bathroom but food was delicious.

Literally such a nice place despite the weird area. Super clean and super friendly staff! Get the platters and the tiramisu, it’s to die for!!!

I enjoyed the lamb and beef wrap. I will suggest requesting more sauce. The Chickpeas soup was okay. I would have enjoyed it more if more spices were included to make it midly spicy and more flavourful. Overall, the customer service is good and the wait time to get your food is reasonable max 10-15mins.

Real bad food. Like poisonous dog food yo. Maybe it was an off day. My girlfriend said the gyro was disgusting. My food was horrible. Even the grape leaves were mid, all stale and jalopy. I've never had tough grape leaves. Hopefully it was just a bad say, but won't be back.

This is the first time I've been to Isranbul since coming back to town. It will not be the last. They've been there for quite some time. Great gyro. I mean it. Really, as good as you'll ever get in town. Lots of lamb/beef with wonderful sauce and veg on a fresh pita. Other dishes I saw were well presented and looked good. Yes, the place is not fancy. But there is parking. Good lunch specials. Do yourself a favor and try it.

First time was good. Second time was really bad. Bold spotted guy is very rude

Gyro Platter and Mixed Kebab Platter. DELICIOUS 🥰🥰🥰 Highly recommend this place

Loved the family restaurant. Owner was super friendly and polite. Amazing family owned business. I loved spinach and feta cheese pie as well as lamb kebab sandwich.

Husband and I came here for lunch. Food was delicious! Chicken was perfectly seasoned. They were very generous with meat and prices were amazing for downtown Norfolk. Super friendly staff. Definitely recommending this place!

Get away from the strip and come get some amazing Mediterranean food! Best gyro I have ever had! And it’s cheap!!!

The Croatian lady that works there is super friendly. I’ll definitely go there again next time I’m in town.

The food is delicious 😋 What a great place to have lunch! The staff was very nice and welcoming 🙏 😊 Highly recommend!!!

Delicious, authentic Turkish cuisine. One of my favorite Hampton Roads places to eat at.

Lovely Turkish restaurant, I loved the atmosphere and service. Food was amazing and authentic. Definitely coming back!

Really great food. Staff was super friendly. Will definitely go again.

Walked over here for lunch from the Chrysler museum. Very enjoyable meal. Great service. Food was excellent. Good choices. I had the beef/lamb pita. Recommend.

A twist to a Mediterranean recipes

Lamb/beef gyro was amazing! Lots of meat and pita was fluffy. The hummus was also very unique, I’ve never had it tangy like the way it was. I would definitely get it again. We also had the baklava which was warm and gooey. Would 100% come here again.

This is the best place in the State of Virginia.

Ordered the beef gyro wrap. This place is fantastic and deserves our business

I am repeat customer and always enjoy the food and service. Yes it might not be a romantic place to dine, but it is a clean and friendly diner with delicous food. I would definitly recommend it!

Wow, this is good food! Authentic as you can get here in the US the gyro here really hits the spot. Parking is a bit questionable but once you get a spot you find out that it is worth the hassle. This is a small diner type shop with only 3 people operating it and Kenny is the host, waiter, cashier, and busser. Kenny was great to talk to and is very kind and helpful. I definitely recommend stopping by and having a delicious meal.

Authentic gem, great customer service and the prices are extremely reasonable. One of tidewaters best.

Great gyros!!! The owner and assistants are pleasant and helpful.

Very quiet location; atmosphere is nice ! Food is good served hot ! Good quality

I didn't like the food it was cold 😕 .

I needed a break from American cuisine and this place hit the spot. The service was friendly and quick, the food was cooked, plated, and tasted amazing.

Great price and this lunch gyro really hit the spot.

Thank you . If you guys like tests of lamp or beef but fresh one plus tiziki sous go there . Home-made bread . I missed Axssara Street and smell of food there .

Service was good. The personnel was friendly and helpful. The food was OK. I am not local, if I visit the area again, I would try another food joint.

We were at VA beach/Norfolk on our family vacation. After tiring but much worthy visit of Nauticus and Battleship Wisconsin we found this place. Even the neighborhood did not seem to be very appealing but food was very tasteful. Prices for lunch special was great and service was acceptable. Two of my kids are picky eater but they both like their Gyro and Chicken platter.

I ordered a 19 dollar platter. It came with one tsasiki sauce and very small portions of everything. Also, the chicken and meatball was dissapointing.

I love gyros, Mediterranean food, shawarma's and all related flavors and everywhere I go I always tend to order the gyro if they offer it. From California all the way to Florida and I have not tasted Shawarma like this one. They don't just cut it and put it on the plate, they char broil the meat on a charcoal grilland throw they're own love into it giving it a very distinct flavor and it's delicious it's the best gyro for me that I've ever had. Very legit, it's a must try in Virginia. I'm from Florida and work here often and always look forward to eating here. My VA go to for real!!!

The lentil soup that was served was watery one bowl cold and the other was hot. They heated it and brought it to us and was not made the same day. The dining area was not clean or maintained. I do not recommend this place

Great food and great prices. We will definitely be back!!!

Pick up Stix Over priced food. Order was incorrect, asked to have a entree sent to us they said would be complimentary but they couldn’t deliver. . We were on the road for 6 hours wanted a decent meal did not get one. Pad Thai was horrible! The so called fried rice was mushy on one side, undercooked on the other side.paid more to add egg,did not receive it.

Very tasty chicken Shish kabob!

I ordered the gyro. It came wrapped in a fried pita bread (awesome!) tomatoes, onions and the tsatziki sauce which tasted sooooo good! The entire meal was fantastic and if you've ever been overseas and tried gyros there, you'll get the same experience here in Norfolk. Really really good food.

Lamb Gyro was the bomb & their Baklava has pistachios, enough said!

Great food, good service, fair prices. They also have a great selection of menu choices.

Great little Turkish place. Gyro was delicious and cheaply priced.

I love the food. I definitely recommend.

Went last night for a meal with 6 friends The food was excellent! Well presented tasty and hot. I can recommend the chicken sizzler which i had spicy. Started with hot mixed sharing platter nice selection of nibbles served with homemade lavash bread . Service by Ali and a girl not sure of her name was very friendly and attentive. Thanks to Bezat, Ali and Hassan in the kitchen. Will be back again soon

Food is not where near the price you pay my chicken kebab player was $16 ($2 for the Greek salad and $14 for the actual platter) baklava was $5 for these two tiny bites. Don't waste your time or money on this place and go elsewhere unless you're wanting a pretty decent but still $6 hummus and pita which you also don't get that much. I understand the pandemic is making things harder, but this is not exactly worth the effort. Edit: my wife got the beef and lamb platter ($14) didn't get her lamb, only the beef. Will honestly say the beef was pretty good.

Well what can I say Me and hubby was a away for a few days from Essex and fancy something nice for a evening meal We order starters which was very watery and they bought out bread and garlic butter. The bread was salty We asked for the VIP sharer when asked what it came its both the girls didn’t even know. When it came again food was over salted. Also has you can see with the picture we had rice and salad plus two side dips. Fine but my husband doesn’t eat rice had we known we would have asked if could have chips instead of rice but the girls didn’t even know what the meal came with. Staff should be aware of what they are serving Definitely don’t recommend this place at all. Also one of the girls looked like she has just left the gym with gym leggings on and trainers.

I throw away there beef platter to the garbage ! The meat was nasty and old !!! I will never order online food again from this restaurant

First time here. Not sure if we ordered the wrong thing but not impressed. I got the iskender platter the bread they put under all the meat is soggy and almost reached dough consistency. The grape leaves taste canned and the tzatziki is most definitely not made in house. The meat is really flavorful, which is why I’m leaving the 3 stars. I’m Bulgarian and I manage a Mediterranean restaurant. This was just not satisfactory. Sorry!

Like always the food and atmosphere were amazing. I will be returning next time I am in the area.

If you prefer delicious authentic gyros and kebabs, this is sa great place to visit. Located in the heart of downtown Norfolk VA.

Just placed a delivery order for delivery at 8pm and ordered well in advance at 1830 (first time customer) for a not insignificant amount. Notified by my bank first that I received a refund and then a text from restaurant to say they had cancelled order, no direct phone call and no real explanation. Phoned the restaurant and they said they were too busy to deliver. I said I could pick up and they said they had already cancelled the order so not possible. Shocking service. Won’t be given a 2nd chance.

One of my favorite restaurants in Norfolk. The gyros are delicious. I usually get the Greek salad with gyro meat. Adding a side of hummus is always great too. definitely one of my go-tos when I'm in town

Great food and great customer service!

Most authentic Mediterranean food in town! Haven't been in 2 years and it was better than I remember.

One of the best Gyros I have found! A must eat, when in Norfolk!

Booked a table after being recommended by a friend. Glad we did. The service was excellent, waiting on staff very polite. The front of house gentlemen was going above and beyond for all customers in a very busy restaurant. I must mention that there was a rude lady sat on the table behind us and she was treated with nothing but politeness and great service which is more than she deserved. I had the Hummus to start, the homemade bread was delicious. Hubby had bruschetta also delicious. I then had the lamb cutlets. Full of flavour. Absolutely divine. Even the rice is worth a mention. Everything was well presented. Hubby had the beef sizzler. He said it was the best meal he had in a long time. We will be going again.

Friendly staff. Good lamb gyro. Lamb and beef platter consisted of tasteful sliced meats, rice and salad.

Shocking service, waited over an hour for food. Lamb moussaka was lacking lamb, replacement was brought and was cold. Seated downstairs as restaurant was full. Please avoid this place if you would like a quality meal and good service.

Truly the best. If you have never been here before, you need to try it now. Some of the best food in all of Hampton Roads.

Great food. Best Kabobs in the area!

this is my first time ordering from here. I ordered the beef kabab with rice and a side salad. They put my side salad in the same box as the rest of my food. Now my salad is warm. A soggy salad? Disappointed for sure.

I love this place. The people are friendly and greet you as soon as you walk in and the food is delicious.

Delicious food and there was parking in back.

Great place for an authentic Turkish meal! Once you walk in, your happily greeted by an associate at the store. Guess what, he is also Turkish from Istanbul. Hint, hint, restaurant name Istanbul Gyro and kebab! This is not just a coincidence! Lol Now onto the food, I ordered the lamb and beef plate with a side onion salad. I have provided the menu in the pictures. Also the meals are located there too. The meal came out hot off the grill in no time at all, maybe 5 minutes. I also had an appetizer of wrapped grape leaves rolled in rice and spices. The flavors melted perfectly together in my mouth. It was a moment when you just want to chew slowly and savor the pickled leaves flavorings on the rice. The Greek salad was so fresh I looked around the store trying to find the gardener! The salad vegetables were crisp and seasoned with blue cheese and sauce. Very refreshing! The lamb and beef platter also came with rice cooked to perfection. The lamb and beef took. me back to Istanbul and Antalya, Turkey from past visits. So if your looking for good authentic Turkish cuisine, look no further than Istanbul Gyro and Kebab. Come for the food, stay because of the friendliness and great attitude of the staff!

Might have just been a bad day for them, but everything was a little bit off. Hummus was a little too salty, pita a little bit undercooked, either the meat or yogurt sauce in my gyro had a bad aftertaste. It was just enough to make the experience unpleasant. The staff was really nice, though, so points there.

Great little place! Iskender was awesome! Nice surprise!

Best gyros in Hampton roads!! Definitely worth checking out. And the spinach pie....delicious

Food was good. It’s what I expected based on the reviews. Service was quick, and food came out just as quick. Nice place for a lunch if you’re looking gyros.

Yesterday I decided to take a chance with trying a lamb and beef gyro sandwich from Istanbul Gyro & Kebab (in Norfolk Virginia near the Macarthur Center mall area). The employee I interacted with for the order had a pleasant personality and I received my food quicker than expected (and fortunately it also tasted good). I also like that I obtained this gyro at a reasonable price for what I received in exchange.

I saw many reviews from people who I think they never had a good gyro , or a tasty one I was passing by and i had to stop somewhere to eat , and because I googled “food” I found the gyro place , and i like gyro as well I will give 1 star for the gyro and 1 star for having in the menu baklava and the italian desert “ tiramisu “ Both deserts came out from “freezer” not fridge . Wanted to eat , the man told me i have to wait couple of minutes or they will put it in the microwave to be ready to eat . Baklava : 2 small bites for $5 , that’s insane Tiramisu : coming from the freezer ? The italians would kill them selves for such a “crime”

Food is outstanding very nice people.

Great food.& drink. Would recommend rhubarb and ginger gin cocktail. Vey well looked after and very relaxed atmosphere. Waiter exceptional.

Friendly and fast, called ahead

Consistently great, the gyros are the best in the area. Hummus is delicious too

This was a delicious and reasonably priced meal. The only detractor was the somewhat shady downtown location and the air conditioning barely worked. Employees were great.

We went as tourists and were pleased with the range and quality of the food. The restaurant is conveniently situated near the town centre and the railway station. The staff were friendly and did their job efficiently. The pricing was average for a touristy restaurant in that area. The layout and decoration were pleasing to the eye. It was nice enough

This place is awesome. The man who works there was welcoming and kind. The food was fresh and delicious. Prices are awesome and portions are more than enough to fill you up. Make sure to get the hummus!

Lovely service, great food. The only thing I can say is don't order too much because portion sizes are plentiful. I will definitely be going again.

A fantastic hot mezze. The waitress Ceri, was very knowledgeable and service was impeccable. Well recommended

I was not impressed at all with the food, my meal the chicken looked no better that "Birdseye "char grilled chicken, the Rice mix was just a large portion of food that was very sloppy, my friends meal soaked in fat, sizzler grill the chop was all burnt, did not enjoy our meals at all and will not go again. The waitress service however was fine and friendly, apart from a young waitress who`s skirt was extremely short, thank full she did not bend over while i was there.

First time my family and I tried this restaurant. We had the ranch parmesan & hot wings, philly & jerk eggrolls, dion burger...all so very good. Friendly staff as well!

Great food for dine in or take out.

Best little secret downtown Norfolk right by the Scope. Food is amazing and authentic. My goto place when intown. No frills just awesome food.

Booking was super easy, I had to ring to tell them I was running late, the staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The drinks, starter and mains were beyond expectations. All served with excellent service and presented beautifully.

Food was so flavorful and had great size portions

Awesome! Hole in the wall, parking out back, entrance on the side. Limited seating. Right now only open at lunch. Worth it! Go get some!

Good food but in the wrong spot, no one wants to travel towards downtown after work to get food then head back out of downtown
