Ten Second Review: Istanbul Grill

Callie and I tried the Istanbul Grill (in the Village) tonight.

It’s one of those places we’ve meant to try forever, and just haven’t for whatever reason.

For entrees, Callie had the Doner (Gyro) kebab. I had the beef kebab. Both were excellent — very similar to their Greek counterparts.

We started with a Shepherd Salad with Feta added (very similar to the Greek salads we had on the islands — no lettuce!), and some hummus. Both were tasty.

I didn’t try dessert, although the baklava seemed to meet with Callie’s approval. No Turkish coffee, as a workout awaits later (next time).

We got that feast for about 30 bucks, and enjoyed familiar bouzouki-heavy music out on the lovely garden patio (in January — gotta love Houston during the “winter”).

The experience gets a big thumbs up!
