Cafe Istanbul

Lone Star Dr, Plano, TX, 75024

(972) 398-2020 - Venue Website

Chef-owner Erol Girgin’s second outpost is a lively spot for Turkish dishes such as icli kofte (meatballs), all kinds of cold meze and kebabs (don’t miss the lamb and beef adana kebab and the terrific kuzu sis, lamb shish kebab). Start with a glass of raki, the traditional Turkish aperitif, an order of sucuk izgara (Turkish sausage) and puffy, house-made lavash bread; finish with Turkish coffee. Close your eyes, and you could be on the Bosphorus.

Second Cafe Istanbul offers compelling tastes of exotic fare

08/21/2009 - GuideLive.com - Leslie Brenner/Restaurant Critic

Chef Erol Girgin's 6-month-old Cafe Istanbul outpost in the Shops at Legacy is decorated with so many nazars – the blue-and-white glass eye amulets used in Turkey to ward off the evil eye – that you'd think Girgin needed protection. But the customers digging into meze and kebabs don't look as though they wish the chef- owner any harm; on the contrary, they look happy as can be. (Full review)
