The opening of Mexico City’s first (that we know of) Turkish restaurant is welcome news.After living in London with a Turkish Cypriot boyfriend and eating a wide variety of turkish cuisine this was a place that i really wanted to try out.
Istanbul- a comfortable little place with an outdoor seating area a few blocks north of Reforma.
The small appetizers are the specialty here and the restaurant offers over 150 varieties of "Meze" , although only 7 or so are featured at any given time— the menu changes throughout the year.

A dozen main dishes are on the menu, including kebabs and grilled meats - mostly lamb, which is unusual in Mexico. There is also fish and everything is served with salad and rice.(I love turkish rice so this was a real treat too)
Desserts such as the dried apricots in caramel sauce, served with home-made ice cream or baked rice pudding are real pleasers.
This is home-style food, its not fancy and most importantly - it is undoubtedly authentic. Prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly.
