Istanbul Restaurant is located
in
Hollywood Beach, Florida on the
Broadwalk. Since 1991, Istanbul on the Beach is the
first and only real Turkish Restaurant in South Florida!
You don't have to go to Turkey to eat Turkish Food, they
have it on the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. Go out and try
it and see for yourself.
 For
starters, try the humus, mashed chick peas blended with
fresh garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, sesame
pasta(tahini) and herbs or eggplant spread also known as
patlican salatasi, puree of eggplant flavored with
garlic, lemon juice, parsley and herbs. There is also a
red kidney bean stew or barbunya pilakisi made with red
kidney beans cooked with olive oil, green and red bell
pepper, onion, tomatoes and small pieces of fresh
carrots. We think the tabuli, small pieces of scallions,
parsley, wheat (bulgur), tomatoes and herbs is the best
in South Florida.
For lunch or a light dinner try the Turkish salad also
known as coban salatasi made with fresh diced tomatoes,
cucumbers, onions, green peppers, parsleys and Turkish
spices dressed with Turkish olive oil and vinegar. The
salad is garnished with grated feta cheese and a black
olive.
We have not tried it, but we have heard the red lentil
soup or kirmizi mercimek corbasi that is made with
pureed red lentils and Turkish spices garnished with
chopped mint and parsley and served with lemon wedge is
to die for.
For lunch try the diced shish kebab sandwich in a pita,
aka cop sis, which is a small piece of lamb in pita
bread, served with slivered onions, tomatoes, lettuce
and side of homemade yogurt sauce or the gyro kebab
sandwich in pita aka, doner, a 100% lamb gyro in pita
bread with slivered onions, tomatoes, lettuce and side
of homemade yogurt sauce.
For dinner we recommend the lamb chops or kuzu pirzola
which are baby lamb chops grilled to your taste with
slivered onions and rice grilled green bell peppers and
roasted tomatoes.
Voted Best Ethnic Restaurant in Hollywood 3 years in a
