Café 34 Istanbul

Good and tasty food. Ambience is not family friendly. Need to work on service.

Yesterday we ordered beef and chicken shawarma, but they don't even taste like shawarma at all and they were so so so cold! It is just a wrap full with carrots and cabbage :( no sauce, no tahini. The prices of the sandwiches were not listed in the menu so they charged us almost $40 for 2 sandwiches. We got the food to go, otherwise if I was dining in I wont accept this, will return it and not pay for this bad food. Plus its very expensive!

We looked for a halal restaurant in Orlando and finally we found the best Turkish Restaurant and hookah place. Iskender was delicious, kunefe was the best. Turkish coffee too. We will come back for hookah! i definitely recommend. They are open 24/7

Food was good, portions were small for the money. Very expensive for the type of food

High price They charge me tip with 18% without notice me. Bad service.

Best restorant Best stuff Generous Nice food Dilicious food Tasty Well cooced

Nice staff, Good tasting food, but very small rations and high prices.

The food and staffs are awesome.

Great Turkish fare that doesn\'t disappoint; i spoke to the owner and also menu clearly states the food is halal. The service here was very friendly and quick and the setting was very good for a restaurant that doubles as a hookah spot (separated).

Dope place for food and late night vibes. Service is a bit slow because they’re so packed but very friendly. Food was so delicious we came here 2 days in a row. We loved the lamb chops, beef Shish kebab, the baba ganoush, and the kunefe!

Cafe 34 Istanbul offers a taste of Turkey in Orlando, combining authentic cuisine, a welcoming atmosphere, and unique experiences . It's a solid choice for those looking to explore Turkish flavors or enjoy a memorable night out.Its open 24/7 , close to universal and great staff. Juliana was super warm and welcoming.

We tried kofte ancd chicken shish. The pieces were big, juicy, and tasty. The rice was soft and delicious. The platters came with a salad side which we loved. The dressing was so delicious. We loved everything about the food. In general, the restaurant, food, staff and environment were all great. Just one small suggestion, it would be nice if they have a better music selection that fits their relaxing and fancy environment.

The atmosphere was great and the food was pretty good, but the service however was completely atrocious, especially for the price we paid for the night. We had been seated and waited about 20 minutes to find that we were scanning the wrong QR codes to pull up the menu (which in my defense there were like 4 codes on our table and none of them said menu so when I scanned the one to leave a review I assumed they were all the same.) Then when our waiter finally arrived he was rude and clearly frustrated as he kept saying "I already told you" to our questions and seemed to rush us along to order, even though this was the first time we'd seen him in the 30 minutes we were there. Then another 30 minutes went by and we had our drinks (which were insanely overpriced) but were never asked about refills or anything of the sort. Then when our food finally came out we were very impressed with the look of the dishes and the flavor of my chicken was truly exquisite however, my mother who ordered the salmon found that it was severely lacking in flavor and just seemed to have a bunch of spices on it without any actual flavor. All these mishaps could have been excused if it wasn't for the exorbitant price that followed! $165 for three people who each ordered an entree and a specialty drink. In no way was the food worth the money and the drinks themselves were watered down and lacked any alcohol. Not to mention we were charged a late night service charge of 20 dollars even though we had been there before 1 am and the only reason we were there till 1:04 was because they took so long to bring our bill. The only redeeming factor about this place was that we were able to see Shaquille O'Neal as he was leaving during our meal. Besides that, this place is just a cash grab with little in the way of actual substance.

Our group came for a conference, decided to come check this place out. Gigi onboarded us and explained how the food + hookah works, and it was a pleasant experience. The blue dragon is amazing, and we did apple as well. Such a great alternative to having drinks at a bar. Great conversations and good vibes from the staff to the other patrons. Highly recommended if you’re ever in the area or visiting from out of the town!

By far one of the worse experiences. Boot leg Türkiye restaurant. I mean when you ask for Turkish tea you expect it to come in proper tea glasses. Look at what mine came in. Also they were our couple of main dishes that I wanted. Food was ok but not sure if I’d consider it Turkish food. Considering the prices it was disappointing. Still not the end of the world. But the service was just horrendous. They had more servers than the customers and it took forever to place an order, and heck even pay. I had to get up and stand next to the register to pay and the server still ignored me. I had to call her and ask her if I can pay because I was waiting for a while.

We had an amazing time at Cafe 34 Istanbul! From the moment we walked in, our hostess Jaden welcomed us with warmth and professionalism, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The atmosphere was inviting, with a great blend of traditional Turkish charm and modern comfort. Our waitress, Sue, was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She made excellent recommendations, ensuring we had the best dining experience possible. The food was phenomenal, full of authentic flavors that transported us straight to Istanbul. From the perfectly seasoned kebabs to the deliciously fresh appetizers, every bite was a delight. The service, ambiance, and quality of food make Cafe 34 Istanbul a must-visit. Huge thanks to Jaden and Sue for making our experience unforgettable! We will definitely be back soon!
