Istanbul Grille & Hookah Lounge

I am glad I do not live near here because the lunch buffet would ruin me. All the food I've tried is great and fish is some of the best I've had.

The server was really nice, though seemed to be overwhelmed handling us and apparently a private party. We could only do the buffet due to a back up in the kitchen, but it was okay. The place overall felt a little cafeteriaesque, and the music was early 2000s for some reason. Probably better when it isn't hosting a private party. Wish I could have tried some of the food outside the buffet. Hookah was fine.

I was in Jacksonville visiting and my family took me here and it was absolutely amazing. The buffet was exquisite and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Food was very delicious! Looking forward to my next visit

A pretty nice choice for Mideast cuisine.

Istanbul has an excellent buffet for lunch with a variety of choices that will please vegans and non vegans alike.

All the selections we sampled were tasty and fresh and there were never any empty serving trays on any of our (three) visits. The food is pretty basic Mideast fare for the most part with a bonus star for the fresh baked pita bread and excellent gyro plate.

Minus one star for trouble getting the attention of waitstaff, like a lot of buffets they seem to have a forgetful attitude after the drink deliveries.

Other then that definitely worth a try!
